"Energy" is a theme that permeates many areas of complementary health care. In the last four decades, serious scientific inquiry and creation of instruments designed to detect subtle energies have proved that human energy fields exist and that energy medicine systems such as Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch and others, provide benefits to the recipient which can be measured both objectively and subjectively. The Practitioner utilizes light or no touch to enhance and balance the recipient’s personal energetic system. All forms of Energetic Medicines tend to promote a deeply relaxed state sometimes accompanied by emotional release. These modalities can assist in the restoration of balance on the physical, mental and emotional levels.

Research has shown Reiki and Energetic Medicines to be particularly helpful for:

- Pain Management
- Immune System Enhancement
- Post Surgery/Injury Recovery
- Life Threatening Illness Support
- Relaxation and Stress Management

I have practiced Reiki since 1989 and became a Reiki Master in 1999. I am a student of Healing Touch and have studied a variety of other Energetic Medicine Healing modalities since 1976. As a Reiki and Energy Medicines Practitioner, I have provided services in many capacities and venues including working with the dying and their caregivers through a local hospice, "free" clinics, convalescent centers and chemotherapy facilities.

I utilize an intuitive approach in choosing the most helpful Energetic Medicine modality for each session.

"The bud
Stands for all things
Even for those things that don’t flower,
For everything flowers from within of self blessing:
Though sometimes, it is necessary
To reteach a thing its loveliness."
