I have been providing HT as an HT student since 2015, primarily at the Free First Saturday Clinic I established at the Manchester VAMC along with other alternative providers.  As this clinic was unavailable to Veterans, community members and other stakeholders during the pandemic, I recently obtained my certification (CHTP) to continue doing the work both in person and through distance healing in my private practice.  My experience is with adults, especially those impacted by PTSD, SUD and MST.  In 2016, I was certified as an RxRelax yoga teacher, volunteering to bring the experience of seated yoga practice to persons with cancer at various NH clinics and Manchester VAMC nursing home residents.

I was fortunate to have Kathleen Scacciaferro MSN, CHTI as my mentor and instructor, as well as our student group from the University of Vermont, from which I learned so much.  

I believe that all healing is self-healing, and I am being guided to self-empower people to embody the highest possible state that they can attain and enjoy.  As a trauma nurse I have had the opportunity to assist idividuals to move through their traumas and shift to a more whole state of balance promoting wellness.

Mary Fuxa, Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, RN, BSN, has been in the nursing field for over 35 years. She has worked primarily in Obstetrics, having the honor to work with  women and their families in all aspects of the birthing process. She also has worked with nursing students as a clinical instructor in the OB unit. 

 Mary's passion  for healing made itself known when she was only 4 years old and living on a farm. She held a belief that if you gave your unconditional love to those who needed it, you could heal them. "My clients in those days were the farm animals".  This strong desire to help others led her into nursing. For many years it was a wonderful way to assist others. In the later years, it became clear that her time with the patients was becoming more task orientated and less of personal contact.

Feeling the need to find a better way to help others, she began to explore other options such as a Holistic Nursing. It was through this avenue that she found "Healing Touch".  "After the first class, I knew I was hooked. It was everything that I had ever believed in and here it was being offered in a mainstream continuing education format with research to back it. For years I had meditated, prayed, studied and attended seminars relating to healing .  Now here was a way to offer this modality in a credible and acceptable manner to those unfamiliar with energy work". 

Mary continued her study with "Healing Touch For Animals" (where it all began years ago). In an attempt to enhance her work and love for animals, Mary has studied, practiced and now also includes Animal Communication in her offerings. The learning will never stop and the healing techniques will grow and change as well, all for the benefit of the recipient."  Her own  personal experience with spontaneous healings and alternative healing methods has been her motivation to become a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner.  Mary also has expanded her work to clear energy in homes and businesses as well, helping to clear not only negative energies but also earthbound spirits.

Mary has a wonderful supportive family consisting of her husband Don, three grown children and their spouses, seven grandchildren, one cat, two "grand-dogs and four grand-cats".

Jeanne has been involved in Healing Touch since November 1995 when she took her first Course 1 in Houston, Texas. She became Certificed Healing Touch Practitioner in March 2001.  She opened her Private Practice in October of 2000 as Wellness Works and added Massage Therapy in 2003 expanding her business name to  Wellness Works Massage and Healing Touch.  After coordinating and helping with many Healing Touch classes, Jeanne became a Certified Healing Touch Instructor in 2010. By 2022 she advanced to a Course 4 Instructor.  Jeanne worked for various Hospice agencies providing Healing Touch and Massage. In 2018 she became a Certified and Registered Yoga Teacher 200 hours.

Healing Touch is my passion and I enjoy serving my students in discovering their hidden potential with Healing Touch for self-care and serving others.
