Reiki

Reiki is a gentle hands-on therapy that supports stress-reduction and relaxation, and it also promotes healing.  Reiki was developed in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usu in the early 1900’s.

Reiki Principles – The secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases. Just for today, do not anger. Do not worry, and be filled with gratitude. Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people. Pray these words to your heart and chant these words with your mouth. – Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind. The founder, Usui Mikao

Healing Touch

Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered energy therapy that was developed in Colorado by Janet Mentgen, RN. It is classified by the National Institutes of Health as a biofield therapy and nursing intervention, and is endorsed by the American Holistic Nursing Association.

Healing Touch is a collection of standardized, non-invasive techniques that clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields. Healing Touch assists in creating a coherent and balanced energy field, supporting one’s inherent ability to heal.
