“Sandy has been doing energy work intuitively since she was a child and is a licensed reiki practitioner. Reiki means ‘universal life force energy,’ and its practice originated in Japan in the early 19th Century. It became commonly practiced in North America during the late 20th century. A reiki treatment simply involves the placement of the practitioner's hands over areas of dis-ease on the patient, with the intent of bringing the healing ‘universal life force energy’ to them. This enables the flow of universal energy that helps reduce pain and illness, while enhancing your sense of well being, balance, and complete harmony. Sandy is also trained and experienced as a healing touch practitioner and is a licensed reflexologist”;

"homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's own healing power, by presenting the 'whole picture' to the body’s healing vital force. The vital force is organized and many complaints heal themselves unaided. However, when the healing process is faulty, blocked or slow, the homeopathic remedy acts as a stimulus to the curative powers of the body";

Collier, T. (ND Bastyr) states:

“homeopathic medicines are very small doses of natural substances that can stimulate the body's self-healing response. Homeopathic medicines, when properly prescribed, affect the body's 'vital force' and strengthen its innate ability to heal. Homeopathic remedies function on both the physical and emotional levels, with few side effects. Some conditions that do not respond well to conventional medicine respond effectively to homeopathy”;

[in "Acupuncture"]

"acupuncture and treatments such as cupping, moxibustion, qi gong and herbal medicine seek to restore the natural flow of qi and promote the body's ability to heal itself. This philosophy of medicine is partly based on the idea that energy, called qi ('chee' or 'prana'), flows along pathways – meridians – in the body which forms a micro-cosmic orbit with the greater macro-cosmic orbit of the earth and heavenly bodies. If the flow of qi along these meridians is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur. Causes of qi imbalance involve external forces - such as wind, cold, or heat; internal forces -such as emotions of joy, anger, or fear; lifestyle factors - such as poor diet, too little sleep, or too much alcohol [...] practitioners claim the radiant heat and herbal effect produced by moxibustion penetrates deeply into the body, warming and restoring the balance and flow of vital life force - qi [...] external qi gong is practiced by a qi gong master who uses his or her hands with the aim to project qi to others for the purpose of healing [...] medical qi gong involves working directly and subtly with a person's qi in ways that are safe and non-invasive";

"hydrotherapeutic treatments include hot and cold applications of water with packs and or compresses. This treatment modality calls forth the vital force of an individual and works to increase vitality and immunity [...] acupuncture. As a modality of Oriental medicines, needles are inserted at specific points along lines in the body (meridians). The body reacts or awakens to stimulation and begins to reharmonize itself with the cosmos. This can serve to stimulate the vital force, or chi; it has long been used to alleviate symptoms from pain to allergies to addictions";
