Each of Tom's healing sessions is unique. As he works with an individual he draws upon his training in a wide variety of healing modalities to arrive at the particular combination of techniques which will best serve that person's needs. The primary modalities which are used are described below.

Hypnosis
Hypnosis is the primary modality which Tom provides. Hypnosis has been shown to be one of the fastest and most effective tools for bringing about lasting change. For a complete description of Hypnosis and its effects, please click on the "Transformational Hypnosis" icon.

Reiki (The Usui System of Natural Healing)
Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy and is the name of a healing therapy which maximizes the benefit from this universal energy. Reiki was founded by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist who dedicated his life (1865-1926) to the study of energy-based healing methods. After intensive study he discovered ancient healing practices which through intuitive inspiration he developed into a powerful system of healing. Reiki provides the practitioner with special attunements which raise and accelerate their energy flow, enabling them to tap into the Universal Life Force Energy at a high level and direct it with their focused intention. Reiki provides both in-person and distance healing techniques, and has been found to bring about deep relaxation, pain relief, release from stress, acceleration of healing, increased energy, increased creativity, and a general sense of well-being. Tom is a Reiki Master-Level healer and teacher.  

Healing Touch
Human Beings have both a physical body and a subtle body comprised of layers, or fields, of energy which have been referred to as the "aura." Before any problem materializes in the physical, mental, or emotional being there is first a disturbance of the energy system. Healing Touch is an energy-based therapeutic approach to healing which uses touch to influence the energy system of the recipient, thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing. By restoring harmony and balance in the energy system the individual's own natural self-healing powers are brought to their full potential. Healing Touch is widely used in many clinics, hospitals, and private practices both in the United States and around the world. It originated in the late 1980's with the healing work of founder Janet Mentgen, Ph.D., and is now used and taught on every continent. The techniques of Healing Touch were derived from many sources in addition to the intuition of the founder, including Native American practices, Oriental energy methods, and the teachings of a number of contemporary healers such as Barbara Brennan, Brugh Joy, M.D., and Rosalyn Bruyere. In 1995 Tom was certified as a Healing Touch Practitioner by the American Holistic Nurses Association and was one of the first 200 people worldwide to receive this certification. He was also certified in 1998 as a Healing Touch Instructor by Healing Touch International, where he is a charter member. Tom's practice now keeps him so busy that he no longer teaches for the Healing Touch organization, but he remains a Certified Practitioner and continues to incorporate the Healing Touch techniques in his private practice.

Therapeutic Touch
Based on the idea that human beings are energy in the form of a field, Therapeutic Touch teaches that disease is a condition of energy imbalance or disorder and that when you are healthy your energy is freely-flowing and balanced. Therapeutic Touch is a consciously directed process of energy exchange during which the practitioner uses the hands to influence the energy of the recipient, thereby facilitating the healing process. Therapeutic Touch was developed in the early 1970's through the work of Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., a professor at New York University, and Dora Kunz, a psychic healer and president of the Theosophical Society. Numerous scientific studies have been conducted at major hospital centers and universities validating the effectiveness of Therapeutic Touch, and it is widely taught and practiced. Benefits have included deep relaxation, decreased anxiety, altering the perception of pain, wound-healing, fighting infections, and mobilizing the individual's own healing energies to restore health, balance, and order. Tom has been trained in Therapeutic Touch by several teachers and has been using this modality since 1993.

Esoteric Healing
Through our spirits we are all connected to the Divine and receive a perfect flow of the universal energy of love and light. Through wounds and stresses this flow becomes distorted and blocked, causing disease and disharmony in the physical and emotional being. Esoteric Healing is a precise and detailed system of healing which works at the causal level to clear and balance the disrupted pathways, bringing the body and consciousness into a deeper level of health and vitality. Esoteric Healing can be performed in person or at a distance. This healing method is based on the work of Alice Bailey, author of Esoteric Healing and numerous other books. (Tom is certified in Esoteric Healing through the North Carolina School of Natural Healing in Asheville, North Carolina, Deborah Mills, Instructor.)

Thought Field Therapy
Thought Field Therapy is a relatively new system for promoting rapid improvement of problems which have previously been considered chronic, long-term, and resistant to treatment. Utilizing a unique combination of energy field theory, Chinese meridian techniques, applied kinesiology, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reconditioning), and insights into mind-body connection, Thought Field Therapy (TFT) has been able to bring dramatic improvement to persons suffering from many types of problems. Recognizing that each of the meridians ends in a different area of the brain, TFT uses key meridian points to actually change the energy flow to the specific area of the brain where a problem is centered. TFT can promote pain relief and can rapidly reduce stress, anxiety, fears, phobias, urges (overeating, smoking, addictions, etc.), and compulsive behaviors. TFT can also help to overcome self-sabotage patterns (such as procrastination, negativity, etc.) which can hold back a person's progress. Originated by California psychologist Roger Callahan, TFT has evolved rapidly as various practitioners have experimented with the system and have produced additional techniques such as the Emotional Freedom Technique, a specific TFT exercise which has broad effects on emotional balance. TFT can be very effectively combined with hypnotherapy and/or light-sound technology.

Light-Sound Technology
Our minds can move into a variety of mind states that include learning, creativity, concentration, relaxation, visualization, spiritual bliss, and much more. Each of these mind-states is different, and requires that our brain shift gears. As we shift from one mind state to another certain brainwave frequencies get stronger, while others are reduced. Use of a Light-Sound Machine (which involves wearing headphones and glasses with special lights) guides your brain to make these shifts faster and easier. Researchers are discovering that certain patterns of sounds and lights can stimulate or relax specific brain centers and produce specific brain wave patterns and mental states.
Tom uses the most advanced Photosonic equipment available to help his clients along their desired path. This technique is especially effective in conjunction with hypnosis, and is also sometimes used in combination with other healing modalities. Tom has taken training in light-sound technology with Arthur Leidecker, of the Leidecker Institute in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Tom also uses the Solfeggio sound system in his healing work. This is an ancient technique using special tones which are attuned to the body systems and which help to bring about balance, harmony, and healing. This healing method was originated in ancient times by Pythagoras and is currently taught by Soma-Energetics in Indiana, where Tom received his training and certification.
