I'm proud to announce that recently I've completed Medical Reiki training, a new protocol in the practice of Integrative Medicine, taught by and developed by Raven Keyes, and am now a Certified Medical Reiki Master. Raven has brought Reiki into the operating rooms of surgeons such as Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Sheldon Marc Feldman for the past 20 years. Certified Medical Reiki Masters are trained to work safely and unobtrusively with surgical teams, or in any medical environment.
This work is practiced according to the Gold Standards necessary to practice Reiki as: Energy Medicine, Integrative Medicine as well as Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Having been certified by Raven Keyes, I am on the approved registry of New York-Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. I can now provide the healing power of Medical Reiki before, during in the OR and after surgical procedures and any other medical treatments such as chemotherapy, childbirth, or even during hospice care. Reiki will assist in the healing, pain reduction, and physical trauma the body experiences during such procedures or events. Clinical results have shown stress relief, pain reduction and less pain medication is needed after receiving Reiki. Not all doctors will approve, but every patient deserves a Certified Medical Reiki Master during surgery or any medical procedure. It is you right! Please share this with everyone you know, as all patients can request a Certified Medical Reiki Master accompany them to any such procedure. Contact me for information on this type of Reiki treatment or for a more complete understanding of Medical Reiki, follow me. You can also visit Raven Keyes Medical Reiki International. For all that know me, know that I've had my own personal struggle with having lost my Thyroid to Thyroid Cancer back in 2007. And honestly, nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to go through. Not even all of the research I did, and I researched this like it was my job. It took me close to 7 years to fully and completely heal from it, and it was my husband who taught me how important it is to be your own medical advocate, because in the end, these brilliant surgeons who fix people only know the science behind things. I don't throw that "only" word around haphazardly as this is huge and surgeons are truly brilliant, but they don't know what it is that you feel. And you, above all else, only you know your body. You know when something is wrong even if the science behind it says everything is fine, which is what happened with me. BE YOUR OWN MEDICAL ADVOCATE is an article that I wrote on my own healing journey after losing my thyroid and why it took so long for me to heal. If nothing else, through this article, understand that YOU ARE YOUR BEST ADVOCATE when it comes to you and your body. Don't discount yourself because your not a doctor or surgeon. And it may even take a bit for them to listen, but the squeaky wheel always get the grease. Be the squeaky wheel, as YOU ARE THAT IMPORTANT! And please share this article with everyone you know and love so that we may all start getting the quality of care we deserve. Love and light to you, Nicole

With the demand of CBD oil and controversy on the rise, clinical studies are essential to evaluate the full potential of CBD for specific conditions. Initial clinical research has shown CBD oil to have a wide range of therapeutic effects that may be useful in relief for issues such as anxiety, pain, inflammation, neuro-degenerative disorders, seizures, and even relief in cancer treatments, just to name a few.
CBD oil and it's many benefits have been coming out of the mouths of quite a few of my clients lately, so I thought I'd do a little research for myself to see what all of the fuss is about. Cannabidiol, commonly called CBD is the oil extracted from cannabis, but unlike the THC cannabinoid, CBD does not have psychoactive properties. In other words, you can attain the therapeutic benefits without the high. It was found that even high does of CBD does not cause the “high effects” of THC. As published in the Medical News Today in December 2017, here's Everything you need to know about CBD oil. For the treatment of epilepsy, a 2018 study was published in Epilepsy & Behavior finding in a group of 108 epileptic youth patients, thirty nine percent has a 50% reduction in seizures. The findings indicate that CBD can be effective in seizure reduction with few side effects, although until there is a full clinical trial done with a placebo-controlled element, it's truly impossible to tell if cannabidiol is having a real effect on epilepsy. What is known for sure is that CBD has anti-inflammatory properties, and the demand is continuously rising as more and more people find significant pain relief from it's use, by both ingestion and topical use. One of my clients personally swears by it to help with her daily pain due to arthritis. Here's another study that was published on pain management and CBD in the US National Library of Medicine. CBD was also shown to decrease anxiety disorders such as panic, obsessive-compulsive, social anxiety and even post traumatic stress disorders. With anxiety becoming an epidemic in this country, studies and trials are absolutely necessary now more than ever. These are just a few of things I've found on the many benefits of CBD oil, and of course you should always research anything new you may consider adding to your daily routine in the supplementation of your health and wellness. If CBD oil is something you've been interested in learning more about to see if it's right for you, you can find more information on my CBD Frequently Asked Questions page. There, you can find many other helpful articles and studies such as cancer, anxiety and insomnia studies on CBD oil. Follow me here if your looking for CBD oil tinctures, sprays and salves.

Fear is created in the mind from any type of trauma or deeply emotional event, such as an abusive childhood home, being physically or mentally abused, or even the loss of a loved one. Or in the case of PTSD, a fear could develop days, months, or even years after experiencing a dangerous or potentially life threatening situation.
Some recover naturally from feelings of trauma by working through them, while others struggle and fight to simply continue to live a normal daily life. While one fear may seem to be minuscule to some, it could be detrimental to the emotional well-being of another. One can never truly understand the repercussions of trauma unless they've experienced their own or are standing by someone close to them having gone through it. Reiki can be used to find calm and inner peace on a soul level to assist with healing while energetically in turmoil. Learn more here. Trauma affects all of us. You could be dealing with the pain of being the victim of a trauma or you could be the family desperately trying to assist your loved one through the horrific events of that trauma. The end result is the same. We are all affected and these things can make you feel detached, lost, irritable, depressed, anxious or highly reactive, even to a very normal daily situation. Trauma doesn't have to define you though. You can choose to change the course of your life by focusing on healing yourself or those pained loved ones around you. Reiki is a healing tool that can be used to calm and nurture the energetic soul. See what others had to say about their healing with Reiki. I found an informative article that I'd like to share: Reiki and Post Traumatic-Stress Disorder by Kathie Lapinski, RN, MSN, CH. This article explains PTSD, symptoms, causes, fight-or-flight response, war, the energetic dynamics of trauma and so much more. Please share this article with anyone you know that could benefit from it, is dealing with PTSD or trauma in their life or the life of a loved one. The more we know about trauma and PTSD, the more we can help. We all could stand to help those in need and be a bigger part of a solution to a life altering situation in ours or our loved ones lives. Love and light to all! Nicole |
