Reiki and Hypnosis: Partners in Mind-Body Healing
 
Some Reiki practitioners seek out hypnosis because they are looking for additional help for their clients in overcoming health-sabotaging behavior patterns such as smoking or overeating; others, intent upon becoming full time holistic healthcare professionals, may explore hypnosis as a possible addition to the menu of services they can offer their Reiki clients.  Those who seek out a certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist for an individual or group session are usually happily surprised by the results.  Those who learn hypnosis to round out their professional Reiki practice are gratified by the way the two modalities can be combined.  Do Reiki and hypnosis work well together?  Come to the meeting to hear what Lois has to say about this new approach to Mind-Body Healing!

A Big Thank you to our Recent Speakers!
