Kimla Stewart has been utilzing Healing Touch since 1991 and became a Certified Practitioner in 2002.  She has worked full time providing Healing Touch and Aromatherapy for Hospice patients.  Extensive experience in utilizing Healing Touch for personal, family and friends' healing.  

I have been a CHTP since 2013. I am an RN  licensed by the state of Minnesota where I have lived for the past 28 years. I have practiced nursing for 38 years, most recently in the area of Informatics (where technology and nursing science meet). I currently have a small private practice and volunteer for Hospice at my local hospital. Providing HT as a volunteer with Hospice has brought me many experiences that keep me humble and in awe of this wonderful world in which we live. This year I became an Instructor for Course 1 and a mentor for several students of HT. I look forward to continuing to expand my horizons and 'doing the work' and spreading light, love and most of all healing!
