Meet the Directors
Nancy J. Blue
M.Ed., RET, CHTP
Director, Therapeutic Essentials, LLC
(828) 230-9388
Nancy Blue has been practicing integrative techniques as part of her 25-year career as a special educator. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Emotional and Behavior disorders and a Master's degree in Early Childhood Special Education. In her work as a classroom teacher and Behavior Interventionist, Nancy has been a forerunner in applying holistic practices to support children with Autism and other behavioral challenges. As a Behavior Interventionist and mental health consultant, she has also conducted seminars and workshops assisting parents, educators and administrators in the use of holistic interventions to support children with special needs and behavioral challenges.
Currently in her work with both adults and children, Nancy combines a number of Vibrational Medicine techniques with therapeutic grade essential oils to facilitate balance and healing on all levels. She specializes in Healing Touch, Rapid Eye Technology and is a Reiki Master/Teacher.
After using the protocol and techniques of The BEYOND SURGERY® Program in her own thyroidectomy, Nancy knows first hand the benefits of this program. Upon her early release from the hospital, she went directly to lunch with her family at a nearby restaurant, and gave a birthday party for her daughter the following day. Nancy believes deeply in helping others to approach and move through any health challenge with more confidence, less pain and anxiety, and to participate with intention in their own healing processes.
