After a video ofJulianne Houghundergoing “somatic energy healing” bewildered some people on the internet,Derek Houghhas weighed in.
The professional dancer defended the video of his sistercontorting her body and screamingduring a demonstration with chiropractor and bodyworker John Amaral at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
“Maybe ahead of its time but worth an open mind,” he added.
The women respond to the energy healing through contortions and — in Julianne’s case — loud moaning. “The first time that John worked on me, I really just cried,” Paltrow, 47, said onThe Goop Lab.
Amaral’s websitedescribes somatic energy healing as “a non-therapeutic, holistic approach that focuses on connecting the body and mind through focused attention on energy, breath and movement patterns.”

Julianne’s husbandBrooks Laich, as well as Maria Menounous andCarrie Ann Inaba, are also quoted praising Amaral for his work on the website.
Julianne — who is the creator ofKINRGY, a dance-based fitness program — iscurrently travelingwithOprah Winfreyon the2020 Vision: Your Life In Focus Tour.
Earlier this month, multiple insiders told PEOPLE that she and Laich, 36,have hit a rough patch in their relationshiptwo and a half years into their marriage.

On Thursday, a source told PEOPLE that Laichwants to make things work.
“If it was up to Brooks, he would stay married,” the source said. “And he is obviously still hoping things will work out with Jules.”
While Hough “already has her own life that she seems happy with,” Laich “keeps holding on,” according to the source.
On Thursday evening, Derek, 34, avoided addressing his sister’s relationship during interviews at Spotify’s Best New Artist Party in Los Angeles, simply telling PEOPLE things are “all good” between her and Laich.
