I experienced my first energetic healing session in 2008. While struggling with a medical issue, a friend suggested Healing Touch, and I was hooked! Wanting to spread the beauty of Healing Touch, I retired from a career in Accounting and opened my Healing Touch practice - Peace Within Healing Touch, L3C. I was Certified as a Healing Touch Practitioner and then Instructor. Additionally, I am a Reiki Master/Instructor and have studied Sacred Geometry.

In addition to teaching Foundations of Healing Touch: Course 1, I work privately with clients - both in person and remotely. I mentor Certification students and offer practice sessions for new students. I am a member of Healing Beyond Borders (serving on the Marketing/Membership Committee and as a member of the Biofield Research Interest Group), the Healing Touch Center in Farmington Hills, MI (serving as a volunteer practitioner and the Board Treasurer), and the American Holistic Nurses Association.

I have presented Healing Touch information sessions to a variety of groups, which always includes a mini chair session so that all in attendance can experience, firsthand, the beauty of Healing Touch. If you know of a group that might be interested, please feel free to share my information with them. 

If you have any questions regarding Healing Touch, or would like to experience a session, please contact me. It would be an honor to work with you.  :)

In addition to my website, I maintain a Facebook page - “Peace Within Healing Touch”.

Dr. Sue Peck is a holistic nurse practitioner.  Her bachelor’s nursing degree is from UW-Eau Claire, her Master’s degree is in nursing with a specialty in trauma nursing from Texas Woman’s University in Dallas, TX, and her Doctoral degree, from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, is in nursing with a minor in gerontology. She’s practiced as a Holistic Nurse Practitioner since 1996.

Helping people manage chronic illness, pain, tension and anxiety are areas of special interest in her practice. Chronic illness is something the health care system struggles to manage. If we work with the person and how the illness impairs their life, we can find ways to increase meaning and quality of life for them. Using integrative therapies alongside traditional health care has tremendous benefits for the person. And whenever we can find the cause, rather than just treating symptoms, we are better able to improve life.

Treatment methods she specializes in, alongside traditional health care, include healing touch, functional medicine, ozone therapy, oral and IV nutrition, lifestyle management, guided imagery, and relaxation techniques. She has seen incredible things happen when we use integrative therapies alongside the traditional health care model! 

Valorie Knowlton RN, BA, CHTP/I received her nursing degree from Atlantic Union College in Massachusetts, and has a BA in Human Development from Eckerd College in Sarasota, Florida. With over 40 years nursing experience her professional career has incorporated Cardiac Intensive Care, including Open Heart and Cardiovascular Lab, Home Health, and Hospice.

Valorie has a special affection for the elderly, helping patients cope with cancer, pain, trauma, and the importance self-care.

In the early 1990’s as her life and career developed she began to search for deeper meaning and purpose in life because she felt like “something was missing.” After experiencing Reiki I/II and other integrative approaches to health she was introduced to Healing Touch in 2002. In her first class she felt like she had finally “come home” and knew one day she would teach this work. In 2007 she received her Certification as a Healing Touch Practitioner, and had a private practice in the Village of the Arts in Bradenton, Florida where she and her husband owned The Village Bookshop and The Healing Cottage, 2005-2010. In 2012 she received her Certification as a Healing Touch Instructor for Course 1. She currently teaches classes in Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, and James Haley VA hospital in Tampa, and has a Healing Touch practice in her home.

Valorie is passionate about HT and teaches with wisdom, compassion and an open heart. She believes that we all have a divine light that is within us and Healing Touch is one way that allows the individual the ability to ignite that light to its fullest potential so we may have greater meaning and purpose in life. As a Healing Touch instructor it is her desire that each student grow to their fullest potential and “BE the light they are meant to be in the world.”   

Long interested in integrative therapies, my journey with Healing Touch began in 2002. I was deeply moved by the work & witnessed positive effects for so many people. I became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner through HTI/HBB in 2009 & Certified Healing Touch Instructor in 2013.  I have a private practice, serve as the coordinator for the Blue Ridge Shenandoah Healing Touch Practice Group & the Mentorship Group, coordinator for Healing Touch classes, a Level 1 Instructor & a Mentor for Apprentices of Healing Touch.

I am a BSN RN & work as a Registered Nurse, charge nurse on a pediatric/adult medical surgical inpatient unit. I served as the Interim Clinical Educator, Pediatrics for SRMH from 8/2011-12/2014. I work as a Healing Touch coordinator & volunteer to offer a monthly Healing Touch clinic to staff of SRMH through in Circle-of-Care.

My intention is to be a healing presence through the heart centered practice & teaching of Healing Touch & to support an integrative approach to health & healing. I find this path to be a rich exploration of self- care & an ever-deepening experience of the mind, body, & spirit connection & a deep blessing in my life.
