Energy Healing

What is Reiki: Introduction and demonstration

Participants learn what Reiki is and have an opportunity to ask questions. One participant will receive a Reiki treatment as a demonstration.

This is an excellent way to learn what Reiki is and what a session is like. The workshop may be of interest to potential Reiki clients and students, spas, and wellness centers interested in offering Reiki and health care professionals. This is not a certification or level I class.

This is a two-hour event including presentation, demonstrations, and ample Q&A.

What Is Integrated Energy Therapy

In this workshop, we'll cover what IET is, what issues and intentions it's especially good for. We'll discuss what in-person and virtual sessions are like. And, for those interested, how can you learn it. 

IET is a mind-body-spirit practice and laying of the hands-on energy healing modality that combines energy channeling and specific pressure points.

Clients are able to work safely on past traumas without having to relive them. IET is therefore particularly useful for addressing deeper emotional or mental issues, breaking habits, and creating new life patterns and paths.

IET can be combined with other healing modalities such as Reiki, ThetaHealing®, and integrated coaching.

• Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) is used to:
• Clears or modifies unwanted recurrent or chronic mental, emotional, or behavioral patterns.
• Imprints new desirable patterns or intentions.
• Clears blockages—physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual.
• Releases past traumas in a gentle and supportive way, without re-experiencing them.
• Supports the process of change initiated by loss, necessity, or personal choice.
• Reduces stress/anxiety and physical, emotional, mental, and energetic impacts of stress.
• Helps clarify personal and spiritual paths.
• Helps connect one to energies and people with complementary and supportive intentions.
• Achieves and maintains balance and integration

This is a one and a half-hour event including presentation, practice, sharing, and Q&A. For more information, see my page on IET or contact me.

Essential Oils For Energy and Spiritual Healers and Practitioners (2 hours)

Essential Oils for Energy and Spiritual Healers and Practitioners
I'll share with you my knowledge and experience as a certified aromatherapist, coach, and energy healer.

The subtle (energetic and spiritual) attributes of essential oils and aromatherapy applications are typically under-appreciated or misunderstood.

Some attributes include relaxation, clearing, setting safe and protected spaces, raising vibrations, grounding, facilitating introspection, and more.

Participants will be introduced to a group of essential oils and applications of particular interest to spiritual and energy healers and practitioners. The importance of plant and essential oil quality will also be discussed.

The intention is to open participants focus on ways to support clients and themselves, and whet the appetite for more. Normally in-person versions of the workshop allow for experiencing aromatics, which isn't possible in the virtual space. However, participants will be oriented on how to begin experimenting for themselves.

This is a two-hour event including presentation, discussion, and ample Q&A. For more information, contact me.

Basic Aromatherapy Workshops and Presentations

I've chosen to use and share my aromatherapy knowledge and experience through workshops and presentations for targeted groups and the general public rather than offering certification courses, of which there are already numerous online and in-person programs.

My aim is to promote good practice and to counter the abundance of misinformation offered by advertisers and sales representatives.
