Italian term or phrase: praticante
Sto traducendo un testo che tratta di tecniche energetiche di guarigione tramite l'uso delle onde Theta

Testo:
Se il praticante (cioe' colui che esercita la guarigione sul paziente) e' convinto che la guarigione e' impossibile,
la stessa guarigione si bloccherà ??

Grazie per l'aiuto

Hi. No, I see that but to my ear it still makes sense. We would Often tend to hear of a practitioner in homeopathic or alternative therapies. If they're carrying out a technique on a patient then I think it still works. HTH.
