Holistic Care Approach

Healing Touch is a bio-field therapy that is an energy based approach to health and healing. It uses touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. These non-invasive techniques that utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing. It is based on a heart centered caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client’s health and healing.

The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance, in the energy system, placing the client in a position to self heal. Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing.

My name is Molly Kehoe, and I have happily been with Holistic Care Approach since 2001. I worked for Spectrum Health (Blodgett campus) for 26 years as a surgical scrub nurse. My team was orthopedics,and this has given me an unique opportunity to literally view the human body from the inside so to speak. I did many many hip and knee replacements with several different surgeons, lots of spinal surgeries, and I also worked with plastic surgeons on everything from skin grafts for burn victims, to facelifts, liposuction, maxillo/facial re-alignment, breast reduction, augmentation and restorative surgery after mastectomy. I went back to school in 1999, at the wonderful Naturopathic Institute in Mt Pleasant Michigan. I had been given a special opportunity to study there, and it was a good fit with my previous vocation. I graduated in 2001 with a Bodywork therapist degree, and have been studying various other therapies ever since. I have worked as a professional Astrologer, and am happy to discuss this fascinating view of the Universe during your massage, if you are interested. I have been trained to do many types of massage, simple Swedish for relaxation, therapeutic for injuries,pregnancy massage, reflexology, healing touch, lymphatic drainage, and my most requested, Cranial/Sacral Therapy. I have had 6 levels of training from the John Upledger Institute for this unique type of therapy. It is very subjective, and is a unique experience for most people. It is light touch,20energy directed, and heals on many levels by addressing a person’s cranial sacral system, literally the fluid that flows inside the head and spinal cord of our bodies. It is a therapy that removes blockages, pressure points internally, and is effective for everything from persistent migraines, many types of physical injuries, and even emotional release from trauma. This is a therapy that can open up new avenues of healing for many people. I have had pediatric training in this modality, and see newborns to correct any birth trauma, to toddlers and up with tone problems or learning disabilities. I also have been fortunate enough to train under Fabian Maman, a wonderful French innovator, who has coined the treatment “Vibrational healing”. This 1 and a half hour treatment involves using tuning forks and some energy healing to “tune” the spine, balance your bodies energy centers, and using his unique music, release old primal pain. It is deeply relaxing, and I really enjoy seeing the results from this treatment. I am available to see clients at HCA on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with some flexibility in my schedule. If you have seen something here that speaks to you please call for an appointment. My greatest joy is to make my clients feel nurtured, safe, and open to their own healing powers.
