I have been an RN for over 30 years and a Family Nurse Practitoner for 15 years. My focus has mainly been wellness, though I spent many years in the ICU and critical settings. My interest in energy medicine began long ago. I have trained in many therapeutic modalities and feel I can blend East and Western approaches to healing with skill. I have been a certified Healing Touch Practioner for over 10 years and am certified in sound therapy. My interests now are detox and healthy lifestyle and assisting people to wellness, either through maintaining health or management of chronic symptoms, using energy medicine and therapeutic use of sound.  

I have been a registered nurse since 1960 and have worked in a variety of settings: hospitals, nursing homes, schools and hospice. I spent the most time teaching nursing and working in home health. I became incolved in energy therapy in 1980, using Therapeutic Touch in many appropriate situations.  I was certified in Healing Touch in 2000. From 2000-2008 I taught Level I classes and had a thriving private practice in Jackson, MS, working part time at St. Dominic's Hospital. When one of my daughters adopted two young foster siblings in Columbus, I moved there to be a support to the family. I live out in the prairie, raising rabbits and bees and growing vegetable and flower gardens. I love to offer healing touch to family, friends and anyone who wishes a session.  

Dorothy has been an Emergency Room Physician since 1977. She began her energy training in 1999, practicing Healing Touch in both Mason City and Clear Lake, IA since 2004. She became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in January 2004 and became a Level I Instructor in January 2010. She is now teaching in the Omaha, Nebraska area.
