What is Holistic Nursing? The focus is on treating a person as a mind/body/spirit. This is in contrast to conventional health care in the U.S. which looks at these as separate issues. In holistic nursing, disease/illness is viewed as an opportunity for increased awareness of the interconnectedness of body/mind/spirit. Holistic nurses, like myself, try to provide healthy lifestyle role modeling for their clients. They also promote self-care for caregivers and assist clients to assume responsibility for self-care.
I am a registered nurse certified as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Healing Touch practitioner. I am a Reiki Master Teacher. I bring 25 years of nursing experience and an interest in holistic heath and healing to my clients. I am available to work with clients within a conventional western health care facility if needed.
