“I’ve been going through some intense scanxiety – cold fear of a looming scan…”
One of my clients had a very important scan coming up, and she wrote a deeply moving email describing her experience of scanxiety.
What an amazing word. The perfect description of what I have always thought of as one of the most difficult phases of healing from cancer: waiting for the next scan.
“I recognize some of the fear as the residue of past traumas – every scan I’ve had before this has revealed our worst fears… Some fear is rooted in love of self and life – a reminder of how much I want to protect my life, how much I want to live.”
Healing Touch and Reiki treatments have helped my clients stay sane and a little more grounded until the results come back. My clients are my heroes, and I am honored to be a part of their healing journey.
I am extremely happy to report that this client’s scan came back with very, very good news.

For the last nine months or so, I have been playing crystal singing bowls during my morning meditation. The classic white frosted singing bowls. These bowls have been instrumental in helping me stay grounded, especially between clients and before healing sessions.
Self-regulation is an essential life skill.
