Portrait of the founder of QTR Academy

A phrase from the founder

QTR is not a technique you apply to others. It is something that, first of all, transforms you.

— Ileana Rotella, the founder

The founder's journey

A story that starts with university studies, passes through naturopathy and spiritual research, and arrives at a method of her own: a technique, a training system and a vision of human evolution.

  1. Studies and research

    After her university studies she chooses to widen her view of the person. She studies naturopathy and flower therapy in Italy and in Great Britain.

  2. Meeting spiritual research

    For many years she pursues numerous and varied studies in the spiritual and energy fields, and teaches them; she also practises and teaches Lao Long Dao Kung Fu, of which she has been a Master since 2008. She attends many different schools and teachers with a clear purpose: to create something of her own, a synthesis of a rational, enquiring mind and an intuitive mind, open to love in all its forms.

  3. The first formulation of the method

    Out of that synthesis comes the first formulation of the method, still without a name or a registered trademark and very different from today’s.

  4. A living technique

    In 2013 the method goes through its first transformation: as she applies it, the founder sees what to change to make it more effective. In 2018 it sheds many of the influences of the techniques she had studied before; in 2021, the final step, it sheds them all and becomes Quantum Touch Releasing® as it is today. QTR is a living method that grows together with the people who practise it.

  5. From a personal vision to a training system

    Naturopathy, the Master in Complementary Sciences, the QTR levels, coaching: everything takes shape in a coherent training system. The founder also completes her studies in psychology, with a degree in Cognitive Psychology, which enriches her vision.

Quantum Touch Releasing®

Explore the QTR Levels

Created and refined by the founder, QTR is a meditative, energetic and vibrational technique that integrates elements of psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology (PNEI), sacred geometry, quantum physics and spiritual alchemy.

PNEI: psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology, the discipline that studies how the mind, nervous system, hormones and immune system communicate with one another.

The name describes the method: Quantum points to quantum physics, Touch to touch, Releasing to release. It is a touch that, following the principles of quantum physics, releases the frequencies that hold you back and leads to a new awareness of your own reality.

It is designed in levels, like a path in stages: in QTR Level 1 you discover that everything is frequency; level by level you learn to steer your own life towards your goals, in balance with yourself and with your surroundings.

That is why the method is first experienced on yourself: it is the foundation of every programme at the Academy.

Make your life easy: the phrase coined by the founder to describe her method (in Italian, “Ufficio semplificazione affari complessi”).
