JoAnn specializes in working with individuals with cancer, back pain, Lyme disease and other tick born illnesses. She is skilled in working with clients with various physical health concerns as well as mental/emotional concerns. She uses intuition, experience and a deep spiritual connection in her sessions and classes to provide a customized and unique experience for all. In addition, when needed, advanced techniques are applied to help heal “cellular memory” or the original cause of pain, illness or mental/emotional imbalance. This “cell memory technique” helps clear past traumas and unwanted patterns by healing “core issues.”
Sessions are conducted in a serene, peaceful setting for a truly relaxing experience. The space has a design that is influenced by Asian style as well as an arts and crafts décor.

Usui Reiki
Reiki is a wonderful technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on of hands” on or above a fully clothed person. The hand positions focus on the seven major chakras or energy centers of the body. A treatment usually feels warm and relaxing. This positive energy enters one’s body, mind and spirit and therefore, treats the whole person creating many beneficial effects. In addition, advanced techniques are applied to help heal “cellular memory” or the original cause of pain, illness or mental/emotional imbalance. This “cell-memory” technique helps clear past traumas and unwanted patterns by healing the core issue.
Reiki helps to release energy blockages and increase energy flow in the body. The energy flows in the quantities necessary for the recipient and is always positive. It only brings to light what the recipient can handle, never more. Reiki works together with conventional medicine to help heal or reduce the symptoms and side effects of all manner of ills including: cancer, chemotherapy, radiation, Lyme disease, digestive disorders, back pain, headaches, mononucleosis, mental and emotional distress, depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, etc. It is known to decrease or eliminate pain, promote the body’s natural healing ability, boost the immune system, improve healing time, improve mind/body awareness and provide a way to remain calm, centered and clear thinking even during times of stress.
A session is usually 60 minutes in duration. First appointments can be 75-90 minutes.

Karuna Reiki®
Karuna is a Sanskrit word that means compassionate action which comes from an unbounded sea of love. It is related to the oneness of all beings, pure spiritual guidance and enlightenment. Karuna Reiki® is a powerful energy healing system that connects with the sacred and divine feminine, and the energy of compassion; energies we very much need on the planet now. Working with Karuna Reiki® will give you more tools to help yourself and others shift stuck energy, transform trauma, heal past life issues, manifest goals, bless and clear energy from spaces, and feel more grounded and focused.
Karuna Reiki® uses a variety of treatment symbols. Each symbol has specific healing purposes and provides assistance in reaching certain life goals. These symbols are beautiful, powerful and very specific. Karuna energy is more feminine in nature and some say it has a gentler feel to it.
Karuna Reiki® can be included in your session along with traditional Reiki and other forms of energy healing. A session is usually 60 minutes in duration. The Karuna symbols are often utilized in Usui Reiki sessions as well.

Integrated Energy Therapy® (IET)
IET uses pure, positive, angelic energy to help clear energy blockages that occur within the context of the past or present. This enhanced technique can help clear physical, mental/emotional and spiritual blockages in your energy field which can be preventing you from fully meeting your soul’s potential. This technique focuses on clearing energy imprints resulting from past or present physical trauma, emotional trauma and limiting beliefs. Pure joy is the byproduct of the clearings created by the IET session. Beautiful affirmations are given at each point of release of the negative emotion and imprint of the positive emotion. This angelic energy healing technique can help you on your healing journey to restore balance and harmony to your energy field and assist you in knowing your soul’s purpose in life. IET can be done as a stand-alone session or in conjunction with a Reiki session.
IET is administered on a fully clothed person lying face up on a massage table. A very light touch is applied to key areas, some of which correlate to the chakras or energy centers. A very light pressure is applied in other areas as integration occurs. Most people find an IET session to be very relaxing and beneficial. Reiki and IET work very well together and complement each other.
A session is usually 60 minutes in duration.

Reconnective Healing®
Reconnective Healing® is a form of healing that is here on the planet for the very first time. It reconnects us to the fullness of the universe as it reconnects us to the fullness of our beings and of who we are. Reconnective Healing® (RH) is a new bandwidth of frequencies that allows the client to connect directly with Source, God, the Universe and come into a space where healing can occur. It allows for healing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is always for the client’s highest healing good. These frequencies are easily experienced yet are extraordinarily powerful offering the opportunity for healing to unfold. The reality of its existence has been demonstrated clearly in practice as well as in science laboratories.
During a Reconnective Healing® session, the client remains fully clothed, face up with eyes closed and just relaxes and drifts during the session. The enhancement of the frequencies is directed by the practitioner off body.
"Reconnective healing is more than energy healing. Energy is neutral. This is light, love and information brought through Love, God and the Universe at an expanded level never before experienced" -Dr. Eric Pearl
Each session is about 45 minutes in length (30 minutes RH, followed by 15 minutes of sharing experiences from the session). RH sessions are performed as a stand-alone session and not combined with any other healing modalities.
