psychic healer

Spiritual cure practitioner

A psychic healer is someone who claims to diagnose or cure illness through supernatural or paranormal means—channeling spiritual energy, communicating with spirits, or sensing disturbances in a person's aura or life force.

The practice exists outside conventional medicine and is viewed skeptically by the scientific establishment: She visited a psychic healer after doctors couldn't explain her symptoms.
