A friend persistently encouraged Lorraine to train in Healing Touch, because “she would like it.”  And, as they say, the rest is history.  The structured curriculum and extensive practice required over five levels of training were a personal healing as well as a method to reduce tension for others from stress and pain.  Her classmates became her professional network and her nurse-instructors her mentors. 

Yet her skills needed to be sharpened and deepened in a practical setting.  Now in her third year in the Integrative Therapies department at a regional trauma one hospital, she has broad experience in reducing pain and anxiety for post-surgical, burn, stroke and critical care patients.  

Care Therapies was born then out of a need for self-healing, and a desire to offer deep relaxation for those suffering the effects of stress or pain. Lorraine has the experience of over 500 sessions to provide the techniques that produce the best results for each client. In her own practice she sees relief for joint replacements, back issues, cancer treatment, concussion, anxiety, depression and general well-being.    

As a life-long learner, Lorraine continually improves what she can offer her clients.  She strives to continue learning and expanding skills in Healing Touch as well as aromatherapy and other energy therapies to offer the most effective healing support.
