2012 dates to be announced

I will be co-facilitating this 10-class program with Joan Harovas, BSN - Nurse Liason to the Center for Integrative Medicine, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center.

    

This course is an intensive study over five weekends. Classes are a combination of lecture, interactive discussion, and practice. Learn how the body's energy system works and how imbalances may affect us. Healing principles, relaxation, meditation, gentle body movement (yoga), grounding, various energy therapy hands-on techniques, as well as other techniques will be taught. Learn how to incorporate these techniques into your care-giving practice and into your life. This program offers you the opportunity to look at your personal and professional life in an empowering and perhaps different way. You will graduate with the understanding and specific skills of how to use healing therapies in all aspects of your life.

   

Class size is limited to 12.

Classes will be held at the Center for Integrative Medicine at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford.  

Note: Interview is required by instructors prior to class.
