Daphne White has been trained in both Chakra Energy Balancing and Healing Touch.  She has also finished the first year of training in a powerful trauma release technique called Somatic Experiencing.  Daphne works to clear, balance and energize your own healing system so that your body can more effectively heal itself.  All healing is self-healing.  Daphne works with you to clear away old blockages so your energy can flow more smoothly and healing can begin. 

Healing Touch is like acupuncture, but without needles:  the chi, or energy, comes directly from my hands.  One client said it feels like being touched by a warm, liquid gold.  Energy healing provides a tune-up for your body, bringing movement to the stuck places.  By releasing blockages and enhancing the relaxation response, Healing Touch stimulates your body's spontaneous healing process.

Daphne explains her role in terms of music.  "Imagine a tuning fork," she says.  "My role is to generate a healing vibration with my own body, so that your body can pick up the new frequency, like a tuning fork, and begin to vibrate at a more congruent level."  Research has shown that the brain waves of healers vibrate at the same rate as the earth's magnetic field:  7.8 - 8 hertz.  Perhaps it is this resonance between the earth, healer and client that creates the energy field where healing can happen.

Somatic Experiencing, like Healing Touch, requires a deep understanding of  energy:  where it's moving, where it's stuck, and how it can flow more freely.  Peter Levine, who created Somatic Experiencing, defines trauma as any event that shocks and overwhelms our nervous system:  a medical procedure we had as a child that required restraining us against our will; an auto accident; a serious fall; verbal, physical or sexual abuse; or even surgery (which, despite its beneficial results, is perceived by the body as an assault.) 

Trauma is actually stored in the body, and the shock is held in our muscles and our organs until we release it.  Somatic Experiencing is a very careful, slow and gentle technique for safely discharging the high-voltage energy of trauma.  As excess energy is released in tiny steps, the nervous system begins to relax and re-set itself at a more stable level.  During a trauma release session, clients often feel a reduced level of tension:  their breathing deepens; their anxiety decreases; and they generally feel more ease and spaciousness in their body. 

Here is what clients say about a Hands to Heart session:

• "I feel so light I could float off the table.  My pain seems to have disappeared."
• "It feels like the sun just came up in my body:  I feel like I am glowing, from the inside out!""
• "I feel like there are angels dancing in my chest" (from an asthma patient who began breathing easily for the first time).
• "I have worked with other healers before, but your work has more kindness and warmth about it. It has a different quality."
• "My whole life feels so much easier, lighter.  It's as though I've been carrying a huge rock around my heart, and now it's gone."
• "Your hands feel as though they are on fire. They aren't just physical things on top of my body, but I feel their energy penetrating inside and breaking up the congestion."

Healing Touch and Somatic Experiencing are holistic modalities that focuses on all aspects of an individual: physical, mental and spiritual. These techniques are not substitutes for traditional health care or psychotherapy, but work well as complementary modalities. The treatments help balance and relax your system so that your energy can flow more harmoniously.  Once that happens, the symptoms -- or warning bells -- may begin to quiet down.  Clients generally feel less pain, less discomfort and more ease at the end of a session.  They may also achieve a sense of clarity about the situation or illness that was troubling them.

That said:  long-standing conditions do not develop overnight, and they generally don't dissipate overnight.  Long-term, sustained relief generally requires a series of visits, and often some life-style changes as well.   Daphne works in partnership with you to create a life with more ease and less pain: over time, you will find yourself very naturally making behavioral and attitudinal changes to enhance your own healing.

True health is more than the absence of disease: it is a sense of vibrant, joyful aliveness.  Healing Touch and Somatic Experiencing help your body and soul vibrate at the same rate, so you can tap into the joy that is always hiding at the core of your being.
