Revival Through Hands
A key goal at Revival Through Hands is to improve or restore the client's functioning and their sense of personal well being. The support considers the individual’s psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual nature. Client’s are provided a space to restore their energy and life force through gentle guidance, consideration, care, and compassion.
Our hands are a symbol for action. They are used as a form of expression, support, blessings, and act as the “tool of tools”. It brings forth a sense of community when connected with the expression “to lend a hand”, and reminds us of the importance of taking action. As we begin to heal ourselves, we begin to see the changes within the community, and how interconnected we are. Compassion is the thread that weaves our personal healing with the healing of greater communities. Compassionate action implies a movement of transforming injustices into purposeful action. Both inward and outward expressions are meaningful parts to healing.
Motivation comes from within — and I’m here to help you activate it.
