Healing Touch & Reiki

Krista Hall has 30 years of nursing in maternal-child, elder / long term care, orthopedics, and med-surgical areas.  Krista brings many rich and varied experiences to the table with the energy-based concepts of Healing Touch and Reiki. In the early 1990’s, she began her study of the importance of human touch with the study of newborn and infant massage, becoming certified and teaching many families the techniques and benefits of infant massage. Her interest then broadened to the study of the energy bio-field therapies of Healing Touch and Reiki to enhance her nursing practice.

Krista became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in 2002. She is co-coordinator of the Energy Therapies program at Frederick Memorial Healthcare System in Frederick, MD, which provides Healing Touch and Reiki to patients at the Regional Cancer Therapy Center and the hospital on the Oncology unit. She is a member of Healing Touch International. She is currently in the training process to become a Certified Healing Touch Instructor. Krista maintains a private practice of Healing Touch and Reiki where she brings holistic nursing and energy based concepts and education to patients.

These therapies can be used as self-care to reduce stress and anxiety, promote focus and attention, and complement other healthy lifestyle strategies.
