The Work
Energy Healing
Energy Healing helps to clear obstacles, reduce stress, anxiety, fear and overwhelm and increases the body’s ability to heal itself while building a person’s natural capacity for deeper relationships and the ability to live a more peaceful, easeful, and joy filled life. Nancy’s eclectic energy healing sessions encompass a multitude of holistic, spiritual, psychological, esoteric, shamanic and energetic self-healing practices. Clients are given a safe supportive space to explore and discover their True Self, energetically clearing decades of programming, conditioning and/or trauma, ancestral grief and shame and creating interior space to release energetic patterns of chaos that no longer serve the client. Nancy studied One Light Healing Touch, founded by healer and psychic Ron Lavin for 7+ years. She also studied with Rosalyn Bruyere, The Foundation for Shamanic Healing, Reiki level 2 and Therapeutic Touch, as well as a variety of other healing trainings that Nancy brings to her sessions. Energy sessions are offered in-person, remotely via phone and Zoom. Energy work has the same effectiveness whether in the same room or 2,000 miles away.
“My journey with Nancy started about 10 years ago when my wife passed away. The grief that I felt at times was unbearable. I met Nancy at a workshop on energy work. I listened to what she had to say and at the end of the program I summed up the courage to ask her if she did private sessions. Her answer was yes.
That answer started a new life for me which is continuing 10 years later. During these past 10 years Nancy along with my guides working with her have been able to assist me in releasing my grief and helped me on a new journey in life. The energy work that Nancy and my guides do during our sessions allow me to experience things I have never experienced before. I frequently leave my body and travel to areas that I did not know exist. The messages I receive of joy and love are now a constant part of my life. It is a constant reminder that we are all One. With Nancy’s intuitive guidance and experience I have enjoyed a more peaceful and gratifying life. One that I share not only with others but also the Universe. I am continually grateful to Nancy for helping my soul explore and experience new horizons.”

Somatic Experiencing - Trauma and Stress Disorders
Nancy practices Somatic Experiencing® which is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and other stress disorders. The Somatic Experiencing® approach facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of blocked survival energy bound in the body, thus addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms. Clients are gently guided to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions.
Developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, Somatic Experiencing® technique is a result of his lifelong multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics and over 45 years of clinical application. The Somatic Experiencing® approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. Somatic Experiencing® offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these recurring and painful physiological states.
Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stressors. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual, physical or emotional abuse, neglect, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict.
Spiritual Counseling
Spiritual Counseling guides individuals on their path toward emotional healing and spiritual growth. Spiritual Counseling helps an individual explore their spiritual beliefs from whatever religious tradition or agnostic beliefs they were raised with or currently believe. Spiritual Counseling helps a person see the relationship of spiritual principles to the stories and situations that they find themselves in. Through internal examination and processing blocks are removed, revealing a deeper understanding and connection to life. A person can search the world for answers, but until one truly understands oneself and the laws of the universe, happiness, self-love, inner wisdom, peace and enlightenment that one seeks will most likely be evaded. Spiritual Counseling is reflective listening that supports the person to find their own answers and beliefs. Spirituality is becoming more and more important in many people’s lives. Research now equates a person’s well-being with the combined health of a person’s mind, body and soul. Spiritual Counseling is integrated or touched on in most healing sessions with Nancy.
Yoga
Nancy completed her yoga teachers training at the Kripalu Yoga and Retreat Center in 1995. In the ensuing years she has taught countless classes and led many yoga retreats. Yoga is a scientific, time tested, 5000 year old system of self-improvement. The heart of the yogic teachings lies in the belief that a self-fulfilled person is a healthy person, free from disease caused by stress and improper living habits. The practice of yoga is designed to lead the person to an ever-increasing knowledge of the self and the needs of the body and mind in order to achieve and maintain good physical and mental health and spiritual harmony. Yoga deals with the whole human being. Yoga means union, one practices postures and meditation—two common disciplines of yoga—to harmonize body and mind. Nancy’s yoga practice seeks to strengthen the link between the body, breath (or pranayama) and highest possibilities for healing and connection within us all. Nancy works with individuals to create personalized yoga flows, teaches gentle and restorative classes and is known for leading yoga retreats with warmth, compassion and a gift for creating a safe space for full self expression, deep healing and body/mind/spirit connection.
“I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy at a yoga retreat and I must say she really impacted me not only as a great yoga instructor but as a wonderful human being. Her classes were full of energy and spirituality. My love for yoga started three years ago and it takes a very deep, loving and encouraging person to make you understand what your body is able to do just breathing…Thank you, Nancy for being you. Namaste.”
