What is Energy Work?

An electro-magnetic field surrounds every human being. This field is intimately associated with health. Diseases are caused by an imbalance in this system. Energy Work restores balance and wholeness, promoting self-healing. Scientific research suggests it is helpful in inducing relaxation. WHERE RELAXATION EXISTS, STRESS CANNOT EXIST!

An effective health program combines both traditional medicine and energy work.
It is important to note that ENERGY WORK IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE. Energy Work complements traditional approaches to health care. Holistic care focuses on restoring health by balancing the WHOLE PERSON, not just by eliminating the symptom or disease. We deserve the best of worlds, traditional medicine, and holistic medicine.

For any health concerns, you may wish to consult with your physician, therapist or other appropriate health care professional. Unfortunately, at this time Energy Work is not covered by a medical plan in British Columbia.

What types of Energy Work does Bernice perform?

1. Healing Touch, was developed by Janet Mentgen RN BSN in 1980, and is derived from the multicultured ancient art of laying on of hands. It was developed by a nurse for nurses to use, but it has become so popular, that now other health care professionals, including physicians, and also lay people have been taught the techniques.

2. Healing Touch for Animals
   Dogs and cats are very sensitive to this work, and can be very beneficial to them whether they are ill, or as a preventive measure if they are well.

3. Therapeutic Touch was developed by Dr. Dolores Krieger RN PhD, to be used by nurses, but has also grown in popularity, and is now performed by many other trained therapists

4. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by ‘laying on of hands’ and is based on life force energy flowing through us.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words, Rei, which means “God’s Wisdom or Higher Power”, and Ki, which is “Life Force Energy”, so Reiki is “spiritually guided life force energy”.
