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.

Feng Shui

Reflexology and Feng Shui work well together!  

"Just as reflexology is a form of energy medicine for the body, Feng Shui is energy medicine for our surroundings.  I believe it is the missing 4th in the mind/body/spirit model of wellness.  Lack of attention to Feng Shui may well be the missing piece in the recurrence of serious illness, failure to heal, and failure of addictions treatment programs to change behavior long-term."

The Chinese characters, Feng and Shui, mean wind and water, and relate to the fact that we cannot see the wind, but we can see the effects of it in the trees [and on the water.]  Feng Shui teaches us an aspect of what is at work behind the scenes in our lives.  This knowledge empowers us to make conscious choices and changes.
