I started Level 1 training 5 years ago in 2012. I was diagnosed with lupus in 2011 and was looking for something I could do because I was in so much pain all the time that I couldn't continue doing physical jobs like I've always done. I didn't know what to expect but a friend highly recommended I try Healing Touch. I fell in love right away! The weekend of training felt more like going to a spa and I never wanted to leave! I felt so amazing! I knew that if I felt this good, others will too. So I continued on until certification in 2016 and I currently work out of my home in Freeport, MN. I have returning clients every month and I'm looking to add another location in St. Cloud to be more convenient for other clients as well.

My nursing career of 39 years has spanned all of life's spectrum from labor and delivery to hospice.  Healing Touch has been a gift to me personally and professionally.  I belive in empowering my clients with wellness tools and healing techniques that are holistic.  Unless we address mind, body and spirit we cannot achieve wholeness.  I have a special interest in women with unexplained pelvic pain and irritable bowel syndrome as well as sports injuries.  Healing Touch is an important component to any wellness plan.  Learning to listen to our bodies and respond appropriately is crutial to maintaining a balanced life and healthy body.

Sam became a Healing Touch Practitioner in 2021. She attended Tennessee State University for her Masters of Science in Nursing and received her Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Harding University. She has worked in multiple health care settings as both a nurse and a nurse practitioner since 2011. Sam currently works as a Nurse Practitioner at IVX Health and is the owner of Strange Morel.  

Sam first learned about Healing Touch during graduate school in 2016 and has been exploring energy medicine ever since. She is passionate about wholistic health promotion. Her experience with Healing Touch has provided her with the opportunity to develop greater self-awareness and find healing in her own life. Sam is excited to share Healing Touch with others as they discover what healing means for their unique journey.

Call me if any of this sounds interesting or you want to talk.

Energy healing has had a profound, positive impact in my life, and I am passionate about sharing the benefits with others.

As a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, my goal is to to facilitate your self-healing process through this gentle, subtle, yet profound energy therapy.

I’m constantly delighted by the shifts that can take place during or after an energy healing session. I love it when a client tells me “I slept through the night,” or “My headache is gone!” or, “I’ve had an insight into my situation, I can deal with this.” That’s why I do this work.

I offer a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which to help you get grounded, find balance, and feel renewed. My practice is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

I am a retired teacher of 26 years. While owning my own pet sitting business I became a Reiki Master in hopes of using this on animals. Still wanting more I started Healing Touch in 2009 and in March 2017 became a Cetified Healing Touch Practitioner. I love working with people!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 plus years of experience.  As a counselor, I believe we cannot separate emotional/mental health from the physical and the spiritual. Consequently, I pursued certification as a Healing Touch Practitioner, completing the certification in September 2015.
