Offering heart-centered living for everyone
Founder Raoult Bertrand is joyful for the opportunity to offer the benefits of his life’s work, which culminated in Heart Awakening, to all in need. People from all walks of life – all of whom know themselves to be here to fulfill their part of the Divine Plan, regardless of their individual belief system – are welcome to receive effective and comprehensive healing for most physical, emotional, mental or spiritual problems they face, and from there to move forward into self-sufficiency.
Heart Awakening is an individual spiritual healing modality involving a unique combination of intuitive counseling, energy work, and a deep soul-inspiring opening of the heart. Individual sessions are available in person and by phone.
The book “Heart Awakening: Your Path to Unconditional Love and Healing” by Bertrand is an ideal introduction to the healing work and is offered for purchase by The Helping Hands.
The School of Healing offers an opportunity, for those who wish to serve others, to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become Heart Awakening practitioners. It also offers a way, for those who simply wish to live with an open heart, to learn the Heart Awakening teachings as a foundation for their life and work. The spiritual healing art course work is offered in both a seven month day program and a comprehensive series of five day classes. Private coursework is also available! Inquire for more information. Higher level course work will be offered for those who wish to attain teaching certifications.
The parent organization, THHMC, operates with the goal of becoming a self-sustaining entity. To that end, property is being sought that will include farm acreage for food production, animal husbandry facilities, a kitchen and dining room, school facilities and group meeting space. Ideally it will have its own natural water source in addition to an excellent source of potable water and eventually be powered by wind and sun, geothermal or other self sustaining resources. This model is designed to ensure long term fiscal health and to exemplify life lived successfully in this manner.

Faculty
The School of Healing faculty is led by founder Raoult Bertrand:
Raoult Bertrand was born in the United States, raised in England and France, and then pursued an entrepreneurial career in real estate and manufacturing in the United States. Searching for answers, Raoult traveled extensively throughout the world while studying a variety of subjects including Native American traditions, Christianity, Taoism, Qigong, Yoga, Nutrition, Hypnotherapy, Sacred Geometry, Breathwork, Kinesiology, Spiritual healing and the science of Auric healing. The Heart Awakening process was inspired by personal experience and evolved with the knowledge gained from working with clients. It was reinforced through years of studying with many spiritual teachers. For the past twenty years, Raoult has reached thousands with his Heart Awakening sessions and workshops; and he founded the Heart Awakening School of Healing.
The Heart Awakening Lead Instructor is Mark Mansfield
Mark Mansfield grew up in a Pentecostal Methodist church in Michigan. He left the church out of high school with an intuitive knowing that there was more to spirituality than a narrowly defined path but never turned his back on the idea that there is more than just our physical existence. Professionally he received a BA in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1994 and a Masters degree in Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2000. During this time he studied across religions with a focus on the many varieties of Pagan spirituality. Mark was introduced to Heart Awakening in 1996 upon moving to Arizona and became a student in the three-year Heart Awakening program in 1997, completing that work at the same time he finished graduate school. Since that point his professional focus has been in cognitive behavioral therapy, integrating what he learned in Heart Awakening in his work with his clients. He has continued to study esoteric spirituality and a variety of energetic healing modalities over the past decade and finds the most personal resonance in Mystic Christianity, Buddhism, and Paganism.
