spiritual healer

Faith-based practitioner

A spiritual healer is someone who treats illness or distress through faith, prayer, energy work, or connection with divine or supernatural forces rather than conventional medicine.

The term covers a wide range of practices—from faith healers who channel religious power to practitioners of reiki or therapeutic touch.
