"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." - Leo Buscaglia
Beginning with counseling and spiritual experiences at a very early age, Lorie recognized firsthand the healing merits of of a loving, accepting healing presence outside of herself.
After four years of service in the Army Intelligence Corps, she embarked on her academic career, with an emphasis on giving back to, and helping to heal others. Lorie received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Ottawa University, and Associate of Arts Degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling from Maricopa College. After working first with women and children in domestic violence shelters then with adolescents with chemical abuse and behavioral issues, she made the leap to healing at energetic levels rather than focusing on fixes that covered, but not healed, the core issues.
Realizing that she wanted more joy and fulfillment in her own life, as well as the opportunity to help others find their path to fulfillment, Lorie sought out teachers and healers. In 1990, she experienced the power of energy healing and Reiki, and has been delving into healing methodologies ever since. The peace and wellness that enveloped her life after her first Reiki attunement made her a true believer in the benefits of energy healing.
Lorie is a Polarity Therapy graduate of The Palmer Institute of Massage and Bodywork in Salem, Massachusetts, an Advanced Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner, a Reiki Master, Touch for Health certified, and a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
Lorie has personally experienced many bodywork & healing modalities, including yoga, Breath Meditation, Massage, Shiatsu, chiropractic, applied kinesiology, acupuncture, imagery, yoga, talk therapy, and energy healing. She is a student of metaphysics and a lover of the arts, nature and children...and people as they are at their core.
Working with clients, Lorie relies on subtle body cues and careful listening to tailor the healing experience to their unique preferences and needs. She employs a range of techniques from gentle touch to intense, deep work. While Lorie has a loyal following of clients who have been with her from the beginning, she also welcomes, and particularly enjoys, working with people for whom energy healing is a new experience. Lorie's greatest joy is in the sense of well-being, peace, and empowerment experienced by her clients.
Welcome, and Namasté
