HOW THIS PROGRAM CAME TO BE:
Beyond Surgery began in the mid-nineties when Judy first became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner and discovered how many clients came to her facing a surgical or medical procedure. Each of them had a serious degree of anxiety, and found that the medical community did not have an adequate support system for managing their building tension from the impending event.
Aware of how tension and anxiety can accentuate pain and retard healing, Judy sought diligently for programs offering multi-levels of support to include stress management AND energy balancing. When she found none existing, she began seeking integrative modalities to blend effectively with the core ingredient of Healing Touch.
In 2005, she partnered with Nancy Blue and the two combined research-based modalities with Healing Touch sessions to formulate a specific protocol which addressed the physical, emotional, and energetic needs of the client both before and after any medical procedure.
They soon began to develop the “Client Workbook” and guided imagery CD, “A Tranquil Space,” which together, guide the client through the process of initiating the body’s innate ability to heal. From that point on, Judy and Nancy have directed their life’s pathway to what they eventually named “The BEYOND SURGERY® Program,” – a blend of interactive therapies customized to bridge the gap for patients between medical procedures and holistic care. Currently, they are training other Healing Touch practitioners in the use of this protocol through a Board Certification program culminating in the title of “Certified Surgical Coaching Practitioner.”
At this time and for the future, Judy Lynne Ray and Nancy J. Blue, are committed to helping people enter the surgical arena feeling centered, calm and relaxed and have made this a lifetime priority. Their passion is to help you to help yourself and participate fully in your own healing process. They warmly welcome your inquiries at any time.
