The "Healing" of Healing Touch work

 

Early in my ministry life, I struggled with intense migraines that seemed to come out of nowhere, disrupting my work, my focus, and my sense of wellbeing. The pressure of leadership, the constant giving, and the emotional demands took a toll on my body in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time. I found myself searching for relief - not just a quick fix, but something deeper that could restore balance and calm.

That’s when I was introduced through a good friend to the world of healing touch.

It wasn’t just the physical relief that surprised me, but the way healing touch invited me to slow down, listen to my body, and reconnect with parts of myself I had been neglecting - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 

Over the past 20 years, this practice has become more than a tool; it’s been a lifeline, grounding me in the midst of life’s storms and ministry demands.

For many years, I found myself working and serving in environments where connection was expected but often felt distant - where conversations were rushed, and the weight of responsibility created a barrier between people and their deeper needs. I found myself longing for something different. I wanted to feel seen, not just as a role or a title, but as a whole person with a body that carries stories, emotions that need space, and a spirit longing for rest.

Healing Touch became that real connection.

The work of Healing Touch is more than physical contact; it’s a mindful presence that supports the whole person - body, mind, heart, and spirit. It opens space to release tension, invite ease, and bring healing on many levels. This understanding is at the heart of EMBody Wisdom.

I came to the training and depth of this work because I knew I needed it. I continue to do this work because I believe every woman navigating midlife deserves to be truly seen, held, and supported. This season of life calls for honoring your full self - the joys and struggles, the strength and vulnerability.

Healing touch offers more than relief - it offers renewal.  As a practitioner I find my work is helpsing you feel grounded when life feels unsettled, find clarity when your mind is busy, and reclaim your natural energy. This is a practice that invites you to step into midlife (or any time of life) not as a crisis but as an opportunity to embrace your authentic self fully.

If you’re longing to reconnect your body, mind, heart, and spirit, I invite you to explore healing touch with EMBody Wisdom. Together, we’ll use gentle, supportive practices to help you rediscover balance and vitality.

Your body holds wisdom your mind may have forgotten. The path back to wholeness begins with a single, healing touch.
