Welcome to the second of a three-part series featuring our new Board members Jan Tait, RN, BSN, CHTP/I, Maureen Kowba, RN, BSN, MS, CHTP, and Annis Parker, RGON, ADN, DipEd, CHTP/I.  Last time I introduced you to Jan Tait.  Today I’d like to highlight Maureen Kowba, and in a few weeks Annis Parker will complete the new Board introductions.

b2ap3_thumbnail_MaureenKowba.JPGMaureen is a native of Rochester, NY, and received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Niagara University. Upon graduation, she served as a Navy Nurse Corps Officer for 32 years in a wide variety of clinical, administrative, senior executive leadership positions in stateside, overseas and operational settings. Highlights of her career include selection to attend Ohio State University for her Masters in Science with nursing administration focus; deployment to Saudi Arabia during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm; appointment as the Nursing Department Head onboard the Navy hospital ship USNS COMFORT during the Haitian refugee crisis of 1994; promotion to the rank of Captain; and placement as Director of Nursing Services at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton where she established one of the earliest Healing Touch programs in Navy Medicine. Maureen concluded her naval career in 2003 as the Commanding Officer of the Navy’s largest medical technical training facility. She completed her Healing Touch certification in 2008 and is currently finishing Level 1 instructor certification. For the past six years, Maureen has been on staff at Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine where she incorporates Healing Touch in her clinical practice with clients and staff. Maureen possesses 40 years of all-encompassing health care experience with extensive engagement in leadership, team-building and strategic planning roles. Her deepest desire and heartfelt intention is to offer these gifts in service to Healing Beyond Borders to promote the continued growth and evolution of our life-changing organization and the work we cherish. Maureen resides in Encinitas, CA.

Mary-Cathrine Campbell began her nursing career in the Emergency Department. Her 30-plus years of hospital nursing include surgical and neurosurgical ICU, Operating Room, and outpost nursing in Alaska. Currently, she is employed in the Interventional Room of Diagnostic Imaging. As a former member of the Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Team, Lakeridge Health, she has been certified as a Nurse Examiner, as well as having completed the Advanced Neurological and Neurosurgical Nursing Course offered at Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta.
Her journey with Healing Touch International began with Level 1 in 1999, shortly after she graduated with a BA in English and Sociology. The remaining levels of HTI leading to certification last year, were spread out while she enjoyed the joys and challenges of parenting her daughter.
Mary-Cathrine believes very strongly that we cannot be effective conduits of healing unless we ourselves have done our personal healing work. Commitment to integrity, balanced with a determination to examine all facets of each situation before making a decision are two of the strong qualities she brings in service to Healing Touch International as a member of the Board.
