Sound therapy, Reiki and Quantum Touch™ --the benefits of these powerful, gentle, holistic healing methods include:
Strengthened immune system
Stabilized heart rate and blood pressure
Pain relief
Reduced stress
Speedier healing time
Increased effectiveness of medical treatment
Release of suppressed feelings
Expanded consciousness and creativity
Strengthened spirituality
Treatments are extremely relaxing and usually feel like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Each session lasts 60-90 minutes. (The first session may take a little longer so that Nancy can get to know you and discuss your desired results.) During a treatment, you sit or lie down, fully dressed. Sessions also include wellness coaching, emotional support and spiritual companioning to support lifestyle changes necessary for overall health.
You will often see dramatic results and pain relief after one session, but it generally takes several sessions to affect lasting change. Long-term illnesses usually require multiple treatments to reach a level of relaxation necessary to bring the system back into balance.
Nancy is trained in sound therapy (by Lora Teuschler), Reiki (Level II certified, Registered Practitioner of the Canadian Reiki Association and Quantum Touch™. She earned a Master’s degree in Adlerian counseling psychology in 1986 and subsequently completed postgraduate training in family life education. She provides knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate support for making healthy life changes.
These treatments are not a substitute for medical care; continue to see your medical and mental health practitioners regularly. Those who need counseling or psychotherapy should work with appropriate mental health professionals. Nancy does not provide mental health or medical care.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a safe, natural, Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that is administered by gentle touch. Reiki means "spiritually guided life force energy." It works on the principle that an unseen life force energy flows through us and keeps us alive. If that energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick; if it is high, we are more able to be happy and healthy.
Reiki complements and boosts the effectiveness of other types of medical treatment. It has helped heal virtually every known illness including serious problems such as multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and cancer as well as broken bones, migraine headaches, depression, diabetes, insomnia and impotence. Medical Research on Reiki’s effectiveness
Reiki therapy includes commitment to self-improvement, and teaches a positive way of life that supports health. Nancy provides clients with simple, practical techniques that they can do at home. In order to receive the full benefit of Reiki therapy, she also recommends these principles of Dr. Mikao Usui (Founder of Reiki):
Show gratitude for your many blessings.
Just for today, do not worry.
Just for today, do not anger.
Honor your parents, teachers and elders. Be kind to all.
Earn your living with honest labor.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound as a healing modality is one of the most ancient forms of healing. Modern studies show that sound waves promote healthy functioning of the immune, endocrine and autonomic, systems. Healthy sounds bring the body into to a state of resonance—vibrational balance—through the physical law of entrainment.
A sound therapy session may include the healing sound of Nancy’s voice (toning and chanting) plus any combination of instruments, such as Tibetan singing bowls and drums. You can relax and enjoy a “sonic massage” or learn to use your own voice for self-healing. Your sessions will be tailored specifically for you, based on your needs.

What is Quantum Touch™?
Quantum Touch™ is a powerful technique for directing chi through the affected parts of your body, charging them with positive energy. This raises your overall vibratory level and allows your body to rapidly heal itself. Quantum Touch™ is widely used to amplify the effect of Reiki and Sound Therapy.
