Nicole Cook: REIKI, Hands on Healing, Healing Touch
Nicole Cook: REIKI, Hands on Healing, Healing Touch
As humans we have the capacity to heal ourselves and others with our presence and compassion. Energy work has been practiced with different names (Reiki, Hands on Healing, Healing Touch) and forms since ancient times around the world. I believe the most profound aspect of this modality is the gentle, powerful experience of others being there, standing by us, and giving presence to whatever we are going through and however we are feeling. It is a nonverbal experience of love.
Used in medical environments to ease anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain, this practice can quickly bring deep relaxation, reducing blood pressure and heart rate, increasing blood flow to organs, and optimizing the body’s natural immune resources.
I have been receiving and practicing energy work for 25 years. The first time I felt it I drank it in and felt so profoundly loved. I believe our bodies, minds, and spirits are thirsty for this kind of presence and nurturing.

So on this YouTube channel, which I started last fall, I share ideas with other parents who are also struggling with extreme teen behaviors. I post a new, 1-2 minute video about once a month, nine so far. The sole purpose of my video series is to help other parents deal with similar situations."

Recently, I was waxing on about Marie Kondo, the tidiness guru, and discovered that Angela is herself an organizer - this is her side job and her secret passion! Organizing people's stuff, helping them make those difficult decisions, brings her joy. If you need help sorting and disposing, contact Angela by email or phone/text.

Karen Roberts: Student Coach
I coach students who are struggling academically
to focus and do well.
Imagine how good it would feel to know your child is succeeding in school and go through each day feeling encouraged at your child’s progress and growing confidence.
I bring over 20 years of teaching experience to my program.
I pair my knowledge and experience with creating a supportive
and positive environment for coaching and learning.
Some of the highlights of my program:
• The stories we tell about the learners we are.
• How do you learn and what does that mean?
• Practical stuff like study skills + time management +
focus management.
• Rehearse information for retention.
• Rewrite the old story.
The first consultation is always free.

CREATIVE WRITING: Explore and develop your creative side. Get started on a short story or book idea. Or maybe you have great family stories you want to pass down to future generations? A children’s book? A screenplay? Is there a half-written novel stashed in one of your piles? Work on your own project (fiction or non-fiction) or write an assigned exercise. It’s up to you. Perhaps you’re new at this and want to express yourself through writing, but don’t know how to start. This class will help you begin. Spirus will help you shape your ideas and evaluate your writing.
