About Us

EMPA was born in 2008 when practitioners from Healing Touch Program—a highly researched and respected energy modality—needed insurance tailored to their work. Founder Lisa Gordon, whose mother created Healing Touch, saw the need firsthand and built a team to fill the gap. The result? Reliable coverage and dedicated support for energy and holistic professionals.

From the very beginning, EMPA was more than just an insurance provider—it became a trusted partner in raising professionalism, protecting practices, and empowering healers to do the work they love with confidence and peace of mind.

Today, that same mission continues to inspire everything we do. We’re here to support a diverse and growing community of practitioners, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and protection they need to thrive in their work.

The EMPA team brings together energy practitioners, holistic healers, and insurance experts who share a common purpose: to support and protect those dedicated to healing others. Many of us come from the same world as you—we’ve been in your shoes, working with clients, navigating challenges, and striving to make a difference in the lives of others.

What drives us is our passion for empowering practitioners like you. We believe in the transformative power of the healing arts and know how vital it is to feel supported, understood, and protected. That’s why we provide insurance as the foundation of your practice’s security—along with the education, resources, and community to help you grow and thrive.

We’re here to create a community, elevate professionalism, and ensure you have the resources and peace of mind to focus on what you do best: changing lives and advancing the field of energy healing. Every policy, resource, and piece of guidance we offer is designed with your needs—and your success—in mind.

EMPA is a professional association dedicated to supporting you in every aspect of your practice—including insurance designed specifically for energy medicine and holistic healers. Unlike traditional providers, we understand your work because many of us are practitioners ourselves.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Diverse Coverage: Our policies are designed to cover hundreds of modalities, ensuring your unique practice is protected under one comprehensive plan.
• Education and Resources: Insurance provides the foundation for a safe practice, but we go further with risk management tools, training, and resources to help you build and grow with confidence.
• Community Connection: EMPA is more than coverage; it’s a network of like-minded professionals where you can connect, learn, and thrive.
• Real People Who Care: When you work with EMPA, you’re not dealing with a faceless corporation. Our team is invested in your success and here to support you every step of the way.

With EMPA, you get the coverage to keep your practice safe and the tools to build a successful future.

Energy medicine and holistic healing are powerful, growing fields—yet many practitioners struggle to find the protection and support they deserve. Traditional insurance providers don’t fully understand these practices, leaving healers with policies that don’t fit and resources that don’t serve them.

At EMPA, we specialize in energy and holistic practices because we know your work is different. Many of us have been in your shoes, and we’ve seen firsthand the challenges practitioners face—whether it’s securing proper coverage, building credibility, or staying informed on safe and ethical practices.

By focusing solely on this community, we provide insurance that truly fits your work, education that keeps you protected, and a professional network that helps you grow. We’re also dedicated to advocating for the field—raising awareness, setting higher standards, and ensuring practitioners like you have the resources to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.

Your work changes lives. Our work is making sure you can do it safely, successfully, and with confidence.
