What is Healing Touch?

This can greatly assist the body in its natural ability to heal.

Healing Touch encourages participants to experience life in a new way, a way that opens up to a wider and deeper view of life, and a way of realizing our potential to facilitate healing in others, whether it be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

Class Faculty Detail:

Ien van Bekkum is a Medical Doctor. She trained and specialized in Preventive Health Care for children in the Netherlands, and has 30 years of experience working with parents and children. She is trained in Europe and the U.S. in the field of the body and mind connection and in subtle release techniques.
      
Ordained as a Minister, it is Ien’s joy to work with people of all walks of life, supporting and empowering others while raising awareness and giving counsel.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist, she is trained in Cranio-Sacral therapy techniques. She is also certified in “Nurturing the Mother” (Pregnancy & after birth Massages, Couples classes), and in Infant Massage Instruction, at the Atlanta School of Massage. Convinced of the healing value of touch, she gives and teaches massages. 

Ien is a strong believer in the body’s inherent capacity to heal itself, using the breath to release, and has more then 20 years of meditation experience. She trained in Atlanta with Michael Casteel to become certified in Conscious Integrative Breathwork.
   
Coming from a preventive health background and having to deal with health issues herself she became a life style coach, using BIA (bio-impedance analysis) to assess percentages of water, cell mass and fat in your body, and find indicators that show how healthy your cell membranes are. This is a very personalized effective way of coaching when you want to loose weight and/or become healthier and live a less stressful life.  
     
Ien has such an eclectic background and is educated in so many different modalities, that  she has now integrated her Healing Touch training into her work, incorporating all modalities when working with clients on Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual and Energetic levels. Her individualized sessions are called Integrated Body Mind Energy Balancing. In this new and unique holistic approach, your body is asked with Applied Kinisiology (muscle testing), what level is most important to work on first. This work is great for resolving blocks or sabotage mechanisms, preventing you from healing and/or being happy. And to release trauma’s of any kind. 

Ien’s message for you:
Never forget: you have your own healer inside, it is just a matter of accessing this part of you, and/or allowing the divine to work through you.
