  • Episode 18: Do you feel trapped in a career that is unfulfilling, but aren't sure how to align to your true calling? Kim interviews Jennifer Taylor, CEO of Quantum Touch, Inc, and author of the book, "Love Incorporated: The Business of Doing What You Love." Jennifer offers insight on how to tune in to your divine guidance. She also gives advice on how to start shifting into a career that is more aligned with your ultimate life purpose.

    Jennifer Noel Taylor is an energy healing practitioner, self-help motivator, and the CEO of Quantum-Touch, Inc. She has dedicated her life work to helping people discover the healing power of their love. Jennifer graduated from Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, CA) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science and a Minor in Philosophy. After graduation, she started her first job as a Software Engineer at a big company in San Diego. Like so many people, she felt incredibly trapped and depressed at a job that paid the bills but didn’t align with her true passion in life. She innately knew that she had a purpose and felt keenly aware that she was not following her true calling in life.

    To cope with the social isolation and depression she felt at work, she studied bodywork and alternative healing. She attended the International Professional School of Bodywork, Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and the Maui Academy of Healing Arts. While working on people, she started to feel the “energy fields” emanating from people. She became fascinated by energy healing and studied various energy healing modalities, including Reiki.

    She met Richard Gordon, the founder of Quantum-Touch at his lecture on Maui. She fell in love with the vision of Quantum-Touch and received a very clear message from the Universe that energy healing was her true calling. Shortly after training in Quantum-Touch, she quit her job, took a leap of faith, and finally followed her Heart. She took over as CEO of Quantum-Touch in June 2002.
    As CEO of Quantum-Touch, she continues to promote optimal wellness by helping people connect more deeply to their love. Not only is Love the basis of all healing but it also is the guiding force behind the business itself. Her business practices include spiritually rewarding jobs, loving service to the world, environmental responsibility, and financial abundance. Quantum-Touch has grown from a regional U.S company to a Multinational corporation. Imagine…
    If more people did what they love, how much more joyful the world would be.

  • Episode 15: This episode explores the effects of bilateral stimulation, which is typically associated with EMDR. Bilateral stimulation is incorporating the left and right side of the body, in rhythm, in order to change the brain waves. In doing so, the theory is that you slow down the left brain and speed up the right brain, thus giving you easier access to your feelings and emotional memories. Bilateral stimulation is used frequently for PTSD and working throughpast traumatic events. Rick discusses how he uses bilateral stimulation, along with inner child techniques, in order to bring about shifting limiting core beliefs.

    Rick Reynolds is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, a Reiki Master, and a Life Coach. He is a Core Belief Transformation Specialist because shifting those core beliefs is the most powerful life changing work that he does. Hypnotherapy, Reiki, EFT, Life Coaching and Bilateral Stimulation are all modalities that Rick incorporates.

  • Episode 12: How Medical Intuitive, Michelle Giliberto, uses vibrations to counteract illness and disease. Michelle's vibrational therapy is based upon the idea that every illness operates at a certain frequency, or vibration--to treat that illness, she sends the counter-frequency to the person experiencing the illness. Michelle also assists clients in clearing beliefs from the subconscious mind that may be contributing to the issues in the body. Michelle has used vibrational therapy to counteract chronic afflictions in both of her children, and is a pioneer for alternative medical research, in both children and adults.

    Michelle Giliberto graduated with a Bachelors in Communications from Boston University, and her initial career was in Marketing Operations for various financial institutions. But due to the health challenges of her children, she became very involved with the medical world. She now practices as a medical intuitive, and has created her own unique way of healing based on vibrational therapy, Thetahealing, and Reiki. She is also a co-founder and board member of the non-profit organization, Epidemic Answers, which connects parents and caregivers to recovery solutions for children with chronic illness.

  • Episode 11 discusses how language in the spirituality world can create somewhat of a barrier to those who are unfamiliar with the terms--and turned off by the 'out there' labels such as chakras, auras, and higher self. Kim interviews Amy Morgan, who uses a combination of hypnosis, reiki, and earth based energies using her hands. Amy has a tech background, and brings a very left-brained pragmatic perspective to energy healing. She readily admits that she's not sure how her energy healing works--just that it does. Amy is also trained in hypnosis, and discusses how 'reprogramming' the subconscious mind can assist with emotional healing.

    Amy Morgan graduated from the Northwest School of Healing where she was trained in Barbara Brennan techniques, body-based psychotherapy, inner child work, and reiki master training through the lineage of Iris Ishakura.

  • Episode 9 discusses the mechanics behind energy healing and how it works. Kim interviews Vickie Wickhorst, PhD, who talks about the various brain waves, and how they play into things like anxiety and energy healing. She talks about energy healing from a distance, and how we can be 'entangled' with each other, despite our physical proximity to one another. Vickie also touches on the debate about the placebo effect, and the importance of the practitioner's belief when it comes to healing a patient. Vickie has been trained in multiple modalities, which has given her a balanced perspective on the commonalities and engineering behind energy healing as a whole.

    Vickie Wickhorst has explored natural alternative forms of healing for over 20 years. For her doctoral dissertation, Vickie researched 6,000 years of history on the interaction between science and philosophy. Through her research she came upon alternative and forgotten streams of scientific discovery and inquiry. This fueled her interest in exploring methods of healing that work in cooperation with nature rather than in opposition to it. Vickie is experienced in animal communication, reflexology, Quantum Touch (including Core Transformations with Alain Herriott and Level II with Richard Gordon), Matrix Energetics (through Level III Whizard's Training), dowsing, The Emotion Code, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Vibro-Muscular Harmonizing Technique (VHT). She is a Reiki Master and a Certified Instructor and Practitioner in Quantum Touch Levels 1 and 2.
