Judith Nourse, RN

Feng Shui Consultant / Educator

• Practitioner of Tibetan (BTB) Feng Shui and Essential Feng Shui

Motivated by a series of cancer deaths in my family in my early 20’s, I began a lifetime search to understand what makes people sick and what contributes to wellness. After 40 years as a healthcare practitioner, educator, and consultant, I am convinced that Feng Shui is energetic medicine for our surroundings, and the missing 4th in the wholistic mind/body/spirit model of health and wellbeing.

Feng Shui is a philosophy of wholeness, clearly demonstrating how a problem in one aspect of life, be it financial or a troubled relationship, affects every other aspect, and ultimately our health.

The purpose of my seminars and consultations is always to teach self-empowerment.  By developing awareness of the influence of surroundings and learning and applying the principles of Feng Shui, conscious choices can be made to effect and support change.     

Judith’s professional training in Feng Shui consulting was with the Western School of Feng Shui in 1999, followed by public and private mentorship in the Tibetan Buddhist (BTB) tradition of HH Grandmaster Professor Lin-Yun with Katherine Metz.  She has been consultant to individuals, couples, families, businesses, and medical and complementary health practitioners since 1999, and has been teaching seminars in basic Feng Shui principles in colleges and physicians' offices and for private groups and organizations since 2002.

Judith contributed the chapter, “Practice Makes Perfect,” to The Western Guide to Feng Shui for Prosperity by Terah Collins, Hay House, 2002.  Her article, “Reflexology, Affirmations and Feng Shui: Combining Three Healing Modalities” was published in the International Council of Reflexologists newsletter, September, 2006.

She is an associate practitioner and member of the board of advisors of the Center for Integrated Health & Healing in Brevard, NC, with Charles Lefler, MD, and her husband, Jim Nourse, Ph.D., L.Ac., a licensed acupuncturist and clinical psychologist.

More about Judith Nourse

With more than 40 years in healthcare, Judith Nourse has become proficient as practitioner and educator in two other complementary healthcare practices, Reflexology and Krieger and Kunz Therapeutic Touch, and is co-developer of The Iris Program™, an integrative approach to infertility.

Reflexology

Judith has maintained a dual career in Feng Shui consulting and professional reflexology since 1999.  She is board certified by the American Reflexology Certification Board and licensed under the North Carolina Board for Massage and Bodywork Therapy.  She is an instructor for Cross Country Education, teaching a 6 CE hour continuing education course in Therapeutic Reflexology to licensed healthcare professionals in major U.S. cities.  See crosscountryeducation.com for her monthly schedule of classes. 

Krieger and Kunz Therapeutic Touch

Judith has been a practitioner of Krieger and Kunz Therapeutic Touch since 1987.  She begins or ends every reflexology session with Therapeutic Touch for inducing relaxation and assessing and balancing the energy field.  Her own training in this modality includes intermediate and advanced invitational trainings with Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., RN, and Dora Kunz, developers of the method, at Pumpkin Hollow Farm in the early '90's.

She teaches a 6-hour class in the practice of Therapeutic Touch for health professionals (NCBTMB-approved for massage therapists and ARCB-approved for reflexologists) and the general public.  As guest lecturer at a nursing school, she introduces senior nursing students to Reflexology and Therapeutic Touch, teaching them how to apply techniques of the two modalities for self-care and in their nursing practice.

The Iris Program™ -- an integrative, nonmedical approach to enhancing fertility

In 2007 Judith completed training hours and case studies with British nurse/midwife and certified reflexologist Susanne Enzer in Maternity Reflexology.  This method includes reflexology to reduce stress and support the endocrine system when there has been failure to conceive or difficulty in sustaining a pregnancy.

In September, 2009, Judith and licensed therapist Shirley Nicholson of Hendersonville, NC will introduce The Iris Program™ -- a 6-week program for women with infertility issues that includes weekly reflexology and Therapeutic Touch, a Feng Shui assessment, a private therapeutic discussion session, and 2-hour weekly classes on a variety of relevant and helpful topics and practices.  The program will be offered in both Brevard at the Center for Integrative Health and Healing and in Hendersonville.

Please call Judith at 828-698-8036 for information on any of the above offerings.
