FIND A PRACTITIONER

With more than ten years experience as a Healing Touch Practitioner I love to work with people keen to have a better quality of life, willing to make changes to bring about better health and who wish to feel more alive and more at peace.

Through promotion of relaxation and exploration of life issues you are invited to find a greater sense of hope. Learning to honour your own wisdom and making your own choices you can experience deeper peace and confidence as you regain health and vitality.

Stress and pain fall away as awareness of their root causes is explored. The work is supported with herbs and flowers essences where appropriate.

I am a New Zealand Registered Nurse with educational, management and advanced nursing practice qualifications. I have worked in numerous countries of the world, in areas ranging from operating theatres, disaster work both in the field and in the planning phases, to oncology/bone marrow transfusion areas.

I am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner & Instructor and have had a full time practice (since 1997) in Healing Touch. This practice includes humans, animals (both domestic and zoo), teaching HT throughout N.Z, and I speak publicly to Conferences, and any group – large and small. This work includes the balancing of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects aiming at balancing all to maximise health.

I also teach Energy Healing workshops for Horses and Dogs and an Energy Healing course specifically for Vets and Vet nurses (see my website for details). I also have a human clinic in Auckland. I now live in Tauranga.

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.
