Congratulations for taking control of your health and well-being!

Integrative therapies can assist you in living a vibrant, joyful life.  You can

• reduce pain, stress & anxiety using less or no medication.
• boost your health and well-being so you have more energy while eluding colds and other minor illnesses.
• emotionally feel more upbeat, happier and move forward in your life.

Addressing your whole person – mind, body and spirit – is the first step towards true, deep healing.  Treating the physical body alone can be very helpful and necessary, such as setting a fracture or giving someone oxygen and medication for a heart attack, however healing occurs from within, is gradual and over a period of time.

The therapies I use in my sessions are:

1. healing touch,
2. aromatherapy and
3. guided imagery.

Each of these therapies addresses the whole person but in different ways.  We work as partners to determine which ones have the greatest impact on your health and well-being.  I also teach you tools and techniques you can use at home for the rest of your life!

These therapies assist in getting at the root cause of your pain or health issue.  We are not just putting a band aide on it like some conventional treatments. 

Looking for ways to stay healthy & happy?  Aromatherapy and healing touch are excellent for supporting your immune system and uplifting spirits. Guided imagery can help you tap into forgotten strengths and promote profound relaxation.  

Personally, I use essential oils almost every day and receive healing touch on a regular basis to maintain my own health and well-being. 

At the first sign of potential illness, such as a scratchy throat, I use various oils and perform healing touch on myself.  Usually by the next day it is resolved or improved.  I continue to use the oils for several days and receive healing touch from another practitioner to clear my physical, mental, emotional and energetic body of congestion so my body can heal itself. 

Our body wants to be in balance, it has an innate healing ability.  However sometimes it gets congested or thrown out of balance by an event like these:

• not enough rest,
• an injury/accident,
• the loss of a loved one, job or divorce
• old traumas that were never processed or released.

Then the body requires a little assistance in clearing out the baggage in order to heal.

Integrative therapies can help release congestion, open and balance your energy field which then allows the body to self-heal. 

Let’s have a conversation about your concerns and talk about the therapies to see if we are a match to work together.  Click here to schedule a free 30 minute consultation with me. 

What happens in a session?

Laurie and you work as partners to determine what therapies you are open to and would benefit you the most.  At least 3 sessions are recommended in order to make lasting changes in your energy field, body and mind.

After a session most clients feel deeply relaxed and calm, some feel more energized.  Those experiencing pain usually leave with reduced or no pain.   Many receive valuable insights, state they can think clearly and/or feel stronger emotionally.

The first session is longer, about 1 ½ hours, exploring what your challenges are and what your goals are for working together.   If aromatherapy is one of your chosen therapies you will be tested to see what oils your body needs.  These oils are used in the session. You will be given those oils to take home and use along with detailed instructions.

Then you will experience healing touch or guided imagery.  You will lay on a massage table fully clothed except your shoes will be removed.  Another option is to sit in a chair if you have mobility challenges.

After receiving the therapy, you will share anything you wish about the session with Laurie.  Then she will share what she noticed during the session.  Each chakra corresponds to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual processes.  She will give you questions to think about in order to get to the root cause of your challenge.  She will also make suggestions, teach you techniques or provide audios for you to incorporate in your life to assist you in achieving your goals.

Subsequent sessions are 1 hour 15 minutes or 40 minutes for aromatherapy only. The two of you will discuss how things went since your last session, what worked or didn’t work for you, current challenges and goals.  You will be retested for appropriate oils if you have chosen aromatherapy.

After the therapies are completed you will have another discussion as in the first session.   The two of you will track your progress and make adjustments in therapies and “growth work” as needed.

Please be aware that your active participation is needed in order to achieve the results you are looking for.  Laurie can not “fix” you.  She assists your body-mind-spirit to come into balance so it can heal itself on all levels.

One exception to this is those in the end stage of life.  Healing Touch can provide a wonderful sense of peace and calm and make the transition easier.  For those that are agitated due to dementia or other conditions, oils and healing touch can calm both the client and the family.
