Judith Nourse
Center for Healing Arts

Judith Nourse, RN, LMBT, ARCB

Following a succession of early deaths from cancer in her family, Judith Nourse has  spent most of her adult years in search of why we get sick and what creates wellness.  With 40 years in health care, she is a seasoned practitioner and instructor of the three complementary health practices most meaningful to her in her own life: Reflexology, Feng Shui, and Krieger/Kunz Therapeutic Touch.

Judith is an associate practitioner and member of the Board of Advisors of an integrative medicine practice, the Center for Integrated Health & Healing, Brevard, in the western North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, with Charles Lefler, MD, and her husband, Jim Nourse, Ph.D., L.Ac.
