I originally saw Kelly for problems I had with my shoulder as well as Young Onset Parkinson's. I was a firm believer in traditional medicine and my original appointment was to see Kelly for PT. Kelly and I discussed her performing some Reiki/Energy healing as well. I am so glad that I gave my permission and that I took a step towards something new. Before receiving Reiki treatments I felt frustrated about the pains in my body from injury and disease. During the Reiki/Energy treatments I first felt the physical sensations of a light pulling or releasing of tension. I felt that I was releasing some of the anxieties that were holding me back from healing. I had more mobility and range of motion. Mentally, I felt a calming of thoughts. I realize that Reiki is a excellent compliment to Traditional Medicine and the healing process. It has been an amazing journey working with such a clear and passionate practitioner. Kelly is completely committed to this work and it shows both in her authentic caring nature and in the outstanding results.

- Reiki – Reiki is a method of stress reduction and relaxation using specific hand positions placed gently on or slightly over the body to facilitate healing. It re-establishes a normal energy flow of KI (life-force energy) throughout the system which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body’s own healing abilities. read more
- Reconnective Healing - Reconnective Healing is a new and very powerful, high-frequency energy therapy, working at a deep quantum, multidimensional level that facilitates balance and healing of the body, mind, emotion and spirit. This form of therapy seems to go more directly to the core origin of the issues and imbalances, rather than using the “onion peeling” method of clearing layers from the surface to the core. Healing from the inside out, or core, tends to shift into realignment more quickly. Reconnective Healing works to correct imbalances underlying a particular disease, issue or life-challenge.
- Medically Intuitive Healing – Medical Intuition is “the knowing” about physical issues in the body and the underlying life experiences that may contribute to the development of physical symptoms. In other words, “biography sets biology.” My gift is that I am able to scan the body to find the primary restrictions, whether they are muscular, lymphatic or emotional. I then utilize my traditional physical therapy training along with alternative techniques to provide a total-body approach to healing.
More on Myofascial release
Within our bodies we have a thin layer of connective tissue. We have three layers of fascia – one under the skin, another that surrounds the muscles and organs and a third layer that is in the brain and spinal cord. When stress and injury take their toll, they create restriction and tightening of these important tissues. You would recognize these fascias as the thin, translucent layer on raw chicken that gets caught in the serrated edge or your knife when cutting it. I like to refer to it as a body sock.
Myofascial Release is a hands-on facial approach used to eliminate pain and restore function and circulation through gentle, sustained pressure at various parts of the body. The clients receiving this treatment often find that they have increased range of motion and decreased pain.
More on Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is based on the theory that the lighter the touch, the deeper you go through the tissues. Practitioners employ a force roughly equal to the weight of a nickel. This gentle, hands-on method of therapy is used to evaluate and enhance the central nervous system (CNS). During treatment, I work to release a block found that inhibits the body’s natural tendency to heal itself. After several treatments patients feel a deep sense of relaxation that can become a part of their everyday life.
Craniosacral Therapy is used to treat everyday aches and pains, chronic diseases, emotional or psychological disturbances and helps develop well-being, health and vitality.
More on Vodder Manual Lymph Drainage
The strokes applied in MLD are intended to stimulate movement of lymphatic fluids in order to assist the body in cleansing. This is a gentle, rhythmical skin technique that cleanses the connective tissue of inflammation materials and toxins. It enhances the activity of the immune system, decreases pain and lowers activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which are the nerve cells that are involved in stress response. This system is active during stresses or danger and is what regulates pulse, blood pressure and changing muscle tone.
More on Reiki
Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist who underwent 21 days of fasting, prayer and meditation, discovered Reiki in 1922. Reiki is based on the theory that every living being has life force energy flowing through it. Reiki, through the laying of hands on or just above the body, helps to keep this energy clear and free flowing. It aligns the charkas (energy centers of the body) and brings healing energy to the different organs and glands in the body. This form of alternative therapy works in conjunction with other therapies such as chiropractic, physical therapy and acupuncture.
