Energy Work

Services

Describe your services:
I offer a heart centered energetic approach to healing. With either physical or non-physical light touch I help you identify areas of stress and assist in reestablishing energy flow. When all subtle energy systems (field, centers (chakras), meridians) are in balance, health follows. I have advanced training in various forms of energy balancing techniques that is complementary to other forms of health care, such as cancer care, counseling, physical therapy to name a few. I empower you to see how your patterns of thought, stuck emotions, toxins in your environment and/or relationships can contribute to disease or lowered quality of life. As you become aware of all that influences your life and how you flow with it, the energy repatterns and holds health versus dis-ease.

How does your healing modality work?
I assist you in repatterning your life and energy flow in the direction of health. Much research is currently being conducted through the National Institutes of Health, various universities and medical centers throughout the states. We still can’t proclaim exactly “how” this works but we have great reports from past “outcome based” studies and personal experiences.

How do you see your services evolving over the next three years?
I will continue to grow and explore advanced methods for assisting others on their healing journey. I will continue to teach Healing Touch to others on a regular basis, through workshops, health fairs, community/support groups and courses toward certification. I will continue to coordinate the Healing Touch clinic for students to offer sessions to the community through Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village.

Benefits

What are the benefits/results people see?
“Relaxation Response” which lowers blood pressure, heart rate, deepens breathing and increases oxygenation and circulation. Pain relief, Sense of well being, Stress reduction, Improved immunity. I assisted one client in getting off medication for anemia by stimulating her bone marrow with just light touch and energy balancing. A few of my clients undergoing chemotherapy have not required nausea medication and have continued working since they have energy with only slight fatigue.

Why do people come to see you?
To relieve pain, to minimize side effects from cancer treatments, to relieve headaches (especially migraines), to lessen need for certain medications, to speed up healing from surgery or other injury, for spiritual growth, to assist them through blocks in the psychotherapy/counseling process, coping with dying or for any number of health conditions: asthma, ADHD, infections, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis

Who is an ideal client?
One who truly wants to heal and is open to exploring all that is involved in the healing process. One who realizes they are the “boss” of their health care team and does their part.

What makes you different/good at what you do?
I love what I do! I work at self-healing so I understand what it takes. I am empathic (can feel what you are going through). I continue to study and learn and put everything into practice. I have found the actual “doing” teach me so much more than the teacher’s or books explanation. I was guided into this work as part of a spiritual journey. As I read the “gifts of the spirit”, I asked, “I’m a nurse, am I a healer?” From three different resources I heard about Healing Touch. When I hear things in three’s, I know God has spoken!

Philosophy/Approach

Describe your healing philosophy:
All healing is self-healing. That is, our bodies were created with amazing abilities to repair and rebalance. Occasionally the stressors become so great that we need help from another to assist our body in “remembering” how. Florence Nightingale said, “Nature alone heals. We place the patient in the best position for this to happen.”

Describe your style or approach:
I listen (with my ears) to what you say (and in between the lines), I feel empathetically what is happening and I feel with my hands what your energy shares. I am then able to help you see things that are related, use techniques to assist change and empower you with things you can do for yourself. Like any good nurse, I work my way out of a job!

Why do you do what you do?
This is my vocation! I went into nursing to help people feel better and to teach them how to achieve and maintain health. Energy Medicine is the true art of nursing for me. It is what healing is all about! Observing a person heal and integrate on all levels, body, emotions, mind and spirit is very fulfilling.

What to expect

Describe a typical session:
The first session will include an intake interview; detailed med hx and health goal setting. I will explain the healing process then perform a pre-treatment energetic assessment while you lie comfortably, fully clothed on a massage table. I will scan the field of energy around your body and through your energy centers (chakras). Then based on your stated goals and the energy assessment, I will chose techniques to re-establish energy flow to promote harmony and balance. A post-treatment assessment will be done. You will be very relaxed and I will make sure you are well grounded before you leave. I may assign you “homework” such as journaling, reading a certain book, forms of exercise, meditation, etc. as appropriate for self-care and empowerment. Subsequent visits may be needed and scheduled.

How long is a typical session?
1st session 2 hours
Regular 60-90 minutes
