Healing Practices

Background Experience

I am a healer. I have spent more than 20 years learning to heal people. I am a caring careful listener, a good mentor, skilled in many healing methods including reiki, sound work, Bach Flower remedies, meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, energy work, western massage, Korean Microsystem massage, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine methods herbs, acupuncture and Tui Na massage.

My intuitions are good and I use them all the time.

Healing Philosophy

Every day when I rise, I know I have maintained my self-respect by living up to my personal code. For my healing practice I adhere to the following principles and ideas:

I am here to help you. I am not here to fix you (that is your job).

I nurture independence and self-sufficiency.

You can depend on me but never become dependent on me.

I am a guide along your journey. Everyone I work with is a companion on my path. We may simply point each other in the right direction. We may walk together for quite a while.

The reasons why people come together are myriad and complex.

There is an important underlying reason for every meeting.

Everyone I work with receives my best: respect, honesty, my full attention, and treatments based in my full range of healing methods.

Sometimes the best I can do for someone is to NOT help them

(Yes, read that one again! That isn't a typographic error.)

If I believe you would be better served by another practitioner or another healing modality, I will not hesitate to tell you so and give you my best recommendation.

Please see Mentoring for additional information about my approach to consultations and conversations.

The mark of a true healer

after the treatment you can honestly say to yourself…

He really heard me

He really listened

He really wanted to help me, and not just make me better
