Healing Touch Sessions To Support Spiritual Awakening

Healing Touch is a powerful tool for spiritual and personal development. Several of my clients are currently undergoing spiritual awakenings, openings, and deep transformations.

Healing Touch supports each person differently depending on their process and journey.

Sometimes healings help people stay grounded as they integrate new energy or shifts that arise in day-to-day life.

Profound breakthroughs often occur during sessions because healing allows you to relax physically, emotionally, and mentally. Balancing your nervous system is a direct way to open your inner world, reconnect with your higher wisdom, and even experience your thoughts as separate from your true self.

A Healing Touch session can create space for new insights, clarity, and a deeper understanding of who you are and what is possible.

Healing Touch For Pain In Hositals

One of the greatest practical benefits of Healing Touch is pain relief. I see it over and over in my practice.

In my vision of a healthier future, Healing Touch would be available in every hospital — especially for patients recovering from surgery or accidents. This isn’t far-fetched: Healing Touch can significantly reduce pain without medication. A session can improve patient care while also saving hospitals money.

If you or a loved one needs to be hospitalized, ask if Healing Touch is available.

Many nurses are Healing Touch Practitioners, and a growing number of hospitals now have integrative healing clinics.

Healing Touch: After the Dentist

Going to the dentist feels routine, right? We fit appointments in between work meetings and grocery runs like it’s no big deal.

But on a primal level, having someone work inside your mouth can be stressful for your body and nervous system. Even when you trust your dentist completely, your body may still feel threatened. Old childhood dental memories can resurface, and you can feel extra emotional after a simple cleaning.

A Healing Touch session can help reset the nervous system and restore a sense of calm. It’s a beautiful post-dentist modality—and a reminder that these are moments when we need to be especially kind to ourselves.

Healing Touch Quarterly Meeting 2/3/2026: A Taste Of Focusing

A smiling woman with short hair wearing glasses and a red top with black sleeves, sitting outdoors with her arms crossed.

My healing community has four meetings a year. Everyone who is interested in energy, healing, and living their best life is welcome. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026, from 6:30 to 8 pm on Zoom. Here is the Zoom link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82732503140. You can just show up.

I am thrilled to have Ann Weiser Cornell, Ph.D., as our guest speaker. She is an author, educator, and worldwide authority on Focusing, the self-inquiry psychotherapeutic technique developed by Eugene Gendlin. 

Focusing helps you access your body’s intuitive wisdom, called the “felt sense,” to gain new insights, resolve problems, and foster healing by connecting with unclear inner bodily awareness of a situation. With these easy-to-understand steps, you can change the way thoughts and emotions are held in your body. The process is simple and profound, and truly life-changing. Really.

Healing: Feeling So Much Better

I have not written anything personal in a while. I try to keep these posts as uplifting as possible, yet much is happening in the world that is not so positive.

A cozy bedroom with a massage table, a blue pillow on the table, and a large window showing green foliage outside. A wooden desk and chairs are visible in the background, along with soft curtains filtering sunlight.

For me, the Holidays were pretty wonderful. Connecting with family was extra special this year. Yet, the world news around the New Year hit me hard.

I doubled down on my self-care, and I am doing all the things to stay balanced and grounded. I make sure I eat well, exercise, meditate, and don’t overbook my schedule. I also, of course, continue receiving my monthly Healing and Breathwork sessions.

The day I was going to receive my Healing Touch session last week, I felt pretty good. On the drive over, I thought I was doing quite well. Yet after the session, I felt so much better.

My body felt better – I was so relaxed and grounded. My mind felt clear, and during the drive home, I became excited by a new creative project. I am still feeling the peace from that session.

I am so grateful for energy work.

Music For Healing

I haven’t shared a music recommendation in a long time.

Here is one of my favorites. Duduk music. It is the most soulful and emotionally evocative music I have found.

Healing Touch In Hospitals

Did you know Healing Touch is used in over 100 hospitals worldwide?

That’s right – this heart-centered energy therapy isn’t just for private practices or wellness centers. Hospitals, cancer centers, and integrative medicine clinics are bringing Healing Touch into patient care, helping to ease pain, anxiety, nausea, and stress right alongside medical treatments.

It’s gentle, non-invasive, and evidence-based, making it a powerful ally whether you’re facing surgery, chemotherapy, chronic illness, or just the everyday wear and tear of life.

If you are spending time in a hospital, ask if Healing Touch is available.

Breathfun Retreat 2025

A cheerful group photo featuring seven adults, smiling and posing together in a cozy interior setting with wooden beams and warm lighting.

Last week, I had the honor of co-facilitating a five-day Breath Retreat with Neika Embry Whittemore at Little Yosemite Lodge. This stunning location—the same place I’ve visited many times over the years for quiet meditation—feels like sacred ground.

This retreat was such a precious gift. Dedicated time and space for everyone to receive, process, and truly embody all that unfolded during the four breath sessions.

Everything felt absolutely perfect, even the imperfections—because they were a part of the beautiful, authentic journey. 🙂 Every soul present was exactly where they needed to be, each one of us a vital part of this extraordinary process.

It was a heartwarming reminder that when we come together in trust and openness, magic happens.

Although I will not be facilitating any retreats in the near future, there are other Breathwork (Breathfun) retreats at Little Yosemite Lodge. In October, Kristen Maurice will be leading one with Neika, and I tell you, I would love to be there!

Healing Is Everything

Many clients have shared something like this after their first Breathwork session:

‘I released more in this one session than in five years of talk therapy.’

It’s a powerful thing to feel, and in many ways it’s true. But the deeper truth is that such a powerful release could not have happened without those five years of work.

Everything we have experienced—every therapy session, every healing practice, even the things that felt like they didn’t work—has been part of the path that brought us to the thing that makes the shift.

We can’t give up. If you have never had a Clarity Breathwork session, now may be the time.

We are always arriving at the culmination of everything we have already done for ourselves.
