What can I expect in a personal session?

A personal healing session will start with time for listening and sharing
to clearly understand the intention for healing. Then there will be time
for energy balancing which can be done sitting in a chair or lying on the
massage table fully clothed. The client will be guided through
visualizations and breath awareness to become more centered in the
present moment. Then energy balancing of the chakras occurs by
utilizing reiki with gentle hand positions on the body, and sometimes
above the body. To increase the energy balancing on a daily basis, clients
are sometimes taught specific tai chi and qigong movements in a personal
session. After the energy balancing is complete, the client is encouraged to
take time to rest and slowly return to the present moment. There is time
for discussing insights or questions at the end of a session, although
allowing quietness to honor the internal process is also recommended.

How can Integrative Counseling benefit me?

Integrative Counseling involves more action oriented work
for the client to review the relationships created with their body, lifestyle
choices, thoughts, emotions, job, family, community, and spirituality.
Solutions for creating balance in life are discussed and referrals to
appropriate practitioners in the community can be made to fully support
the individual in the healing process. These sessions can also be linked
to a healing session to help integrate and balance the intentions for
healing on all levels.

As a social worker, Christine is skilled in assessing, problem solving,
providing feedback, and connecting to community resources. She can
offer advocacy and support, by helping a client collaborate with the
medical model to create a holistic plan of care. This can include
referrals to practitioners, information about community resources, and
the integration of holistic options with your medical care. For example,
receiving reiki and guided imagery before, during and after a medical
procedure to help with relaxation and the reduction of pain. Christine has
helped clients in the pre-operative room to alleviate anxiety and create a
mindset of peace prior to surgery. Christine creates guided meditations
to utilize before, during and after surgery. This option allows the client to
fully access their own ability to be the healer with an empowering mindset
toward the decisions of health care.
