Mary Pat FitzGibbons, a registered nurse and certified Brennan Healing Science practitioner, will lead a Healing Touch Level One program from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., June 23 and 24, at Hope Hospice House, in Cape Coral. The natural, nursing-based healing method can help reduce pain, stress and recovery time from surgery and other medical procedures, and increase flexibility and a sense of well-being.

Participants will learn the locations of auras and chakras and how to assess them, along with practicing eight techniques for basic healing focused on pain relief and self-healing, legal issues and professional development.

With certifications from the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies, Healing Touch is an energy medicine program that is suitable for registered nurses, physicians, body therapists, counselors, psychotherapists, other health professionals and individuals desiring an in-depth understanding and practice of healing work using energy-based concepts.

FitzGibbons can also visit clients to provide Healing Touch sessions. She will lead a Level Two program in August.
