Kia ora,
I’m Dionne, a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, with a home-based practice overlooking
native bush and a boulder river in the Lower Kaimai, Tauranga. I’m also a Reiki Practitioner
and Reiki Teacher.
Healing Touch can help you, by reducing stress, improving anxiety and depression,
decreasing pain, enhancing recovery from surgery and supporting cancer care.
It’s a wonderful way of working energetically with you, to help integrate your physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual aspects, in a way that is safe, holistic and professional.
I look forward to connecting with you soon.

CHTIP, CHTII
Christchurch
0276 016 800
Based in Christchurch, I have a full time clinical practice encompassing Healing Touch, Esoteric Healing, Massage and Sound work. I have an educative arm, Instructing Healing Touch Level 1, 2 and soon to be Level 3, along with sharing the benefits of Healing Touch within the Secondary School Curriculum to Year 13 students and to the wider community. My passion is to live with my own ‘Life Essentials’ – Song with harmony, heart balanced with wisdom, courage to walk my truth.
I am currently on HTNZ Committee working quietly with Promotion & Marketing and would be happy to continue. Our Gathering conference of 2013 called “The Heart of Community – Holding the Light” provided a great springboard for this year. I believe it is time to call our community to action and create a community that has great connectivity and heart, with spaces where we can have time to share and heal and in turn generate that sense of connectivity out into wider society.

I help adults and children understand mind and body wellbeing
I am an experienced Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in the field of Mind Body Health and Wellbeing. I spent five years in training, and 21 years in Practice, working with the energy of the human body. My intention is to help people clear blockages to self-healing, mentally and physically, creating harmony and balance within.
I am a Mentor, I also offer Personal Growth guidance via a simple, common sense approach, helping people to achieve clarity and awareness about what may have grown to become, very complex, overwhelming issues.
Life is about relationships. I help adults and children become aware of their emotions, and how to break down those emotions and behaviours which limit them, and influence their relationships every day.
Helping people of all ages to demystify long held beliefs and concepts which have controlled their lives, and those they seek to control, can be transforming.
Wendy Risdon
CHTIP, RN, MHSc.
Duvauchelle, Banks Peninsula

I have a home clinic in Duvauchelle and offer Healing Touch and Relaxation Massage.
For 15 years I worked as a Practice Nurse at the University of Canterbury and ran a
very popular clinic for students with Stress related issues such as Anxiety and Depression.
Anxiety is very topical at the moment with school age children and I can recommend
Healing Touch as a gentle non-invasive therapy which elicits a deep relaxation response.
