Services Offered Before beginning an individualized session, I will obtain some initial information and we will explore the reason you are coming to me. It will also be important to gather information regarding your medical history, current medications, allergies, treatments by other health care professionals, and any self-healing or self-care methods currently being used. Together we will create a safe environment in which to explore the inner self without judgment. Each session will last 60-75 minutes. Guided Imagery is a therapeutic process that facilitates working with the power of the imagination to bring about positive mental attitudes and outcomes and to activate inner healing. You will find guided imagery on my “Deep Relaxation” tape/CD, and I will use it as appropriate in a therapeutic session. In Interactive Imagery (also known as Integrative Imagery), I will first guide you through total body relaxation. The emphasis will always be on maintaining a safe, secure environment as we explore the issue you wish to pursue through images and conversation. Although you will remain in a very relaxed, meditative state, you will have a certain level of awareness and be able to stop the session if you become uncomfortable. Imagery has long been known to be a wonderful healing modality for chronic pain, seeking wisdom, dealing with life problems and health issues. You can learn more about the research and the process on www.healthjourneys.com. “Imagination is the window to the soul.”---Aristotle Reiki was discovered and developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk. It was brought to the west by Hawayo Takata in the 1930’s. There are now many different kinds of Reiki (pronounced ray’kee), but there are four qualities that identify any Reiki technique. I am a Level I Reiki practitioner. The ability to perform Reiki comes from an attunement. All Reiki techniques are part of a lineage Reiki does not require that one guide the energy with the mind, as it is guided by the higher power. Reiki can do no harm. Aromatherapy is making use of essential oils in a therapeutic way. They are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds and have been used since ancient times. Many oils (which, by the way, are non-greasy) can be applied directly to the skin, but most often are diffused in a diffuser. The oils have the ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout blood and tissues, and directly stimulate both the limbic lobe and hypothalamus. Since these are our emotional centers, the oils can directly and profoundly affect the mind and body. The most important thing is to use organic therapeutic grade oils. I use Young Living Essential Oils, and may use aromatherapy as an adjunct to your imagery session
