A recent study showed that energy therapy, specifically reiki, benefits men who are undergoing radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Here are some definitions of three types of energy therapy that I may use during a healing experience.
All definitions are from the National Institutes of Health government website...
Energy healing therapy
Energy healing therapy involves the channeling of healing energy through the hands of a practitioner into the client's body to restore a normal energy balance and, therefore, health. Energy healing therapy has been used to treat a wide variety of ailments and health problems, and is often used in conjunction with other alternative and conventional medical treatments.
Massage
Massage
Massage therapists manipulate muscle and connective tissue to enhance function of those tissues and promote relaxation and well-being.
Reiki
Reiki is an energy medicine practice that originated in Japan. In Reiki, the practitioner places his hands on or near the person receiving treatment, with the intent to transmit ki, believed to be life-force energy.

If you're interested in a one-to-one healing experience, or having me as a travel companion for a weekend get-away, vacation, cruise, or workshop partner, or as a companion for theater, opera, black tie, corporate or dinner events, please email me for information.
