She specialized in critical care nursing including holding a flight nurse position for several years.

She held several other positions as nursing supervisor following the study of “Introduction to

Nursing Management” (one-year online course).

modality approved in her work place area. With perseverance and dedication, she received

permission by the Oncology Director to offer HT to oncology patients and their caregivers. She

and another colleague oversaw this clinic for a period of 8 months. Healing Touch is now part of
