Energy Therapies-Leesburg: Registration opens on the first business day of the month by 9:15am for patients only (sorry, no caregivers). Reiki practitioners and Healing providers are joining forces to bring their energy skills to Life with Cancer. Both practices are relaxing, nurturing, heart-centered energy therapies, in which the practitioner places the hands just above the body or uses light touch to clear, energize, and balance your energy fields. The intent is to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Dress comfortably and bring a blanket. If you cannot come to an appointment for which you are registered, please call 703.698.2526 to CANCEL as soon as possible; this will allow another person to take your place. If you miss two appointments without prior notice we may need to refer you to practitioners in the community. Stress Reduction
