Bio

 

Sue is a registered nurse with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing and a Master of Arts in Health Services Management.  She completed over 200 hours of study in holistic nursing and certified as a holistic nurse in 2005. 

In 1995-6 she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.  Due to allergies to medications and sensitivities to others, she started learning as much as she could about integrative medicine and the mind/body connection. She  had 33 out of  the 36 symptoms and was allergic to the prescribed pain medication, had rebound effect from the sleep meds and was miserable.  So, she started exploring mind body connections and integrative medicine.  Sue took courses in Kundalini Yoga and meditation, Tai Chi Chai, Healing Touch, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and many more.   As she learned more and more about the disease, she also discovered working with the human energy system and the mind/body connection.  She became a Reiki Master, certified as a Healing Touch Practitioner and instructor, took classes in Therapeutic Touch, meditation, yoga and others.

In 2001-2002 Sue completed training in biofeedback and neurofeedback.  This training further enhanced her ability to work with the mind/body connection.

During her 30+ year nursing career Sue has worked in Labor and Delivery, Post Partum, Surgical Wards, Surgical ICU, Surgical/Medical ICU, Family Practice Clinics, Staff Education and Training and other areas.  Travel and variety of experience with nationalities and countries, as well as her own health, enhanced this former navy nurse’s understanding of health and healing.
