About Colleen Dougherty:

Reiki was my beginning in Complimentary Alternative Health.  I became a Reiki Master/Instructor while working in sales in Corporate America.  Reiki and energy work became a passion for me so I continued my studies with Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), Hypnotherapy and Shiatsu and some other areas in between.
After learning Shiatsu and working with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine's Five Element Theory, I really began to grasp the concept that everything affects everything else in a way that I had previously.  I always knew intrinsically the connection of all things.  Since learning the five element theory,  I now understand it in a much defined, logical way that can be explained.  We are all just a microcosm of the great macrocosm, and within us as well as outside of us lies many more microcosms.  It can all be defined, yet cannot be placed in one neat and tidy box. 

Another fork in the road of my life appeared.

I left the world of sales for the world of service as a facilitator of change for health and life. From there a friend introduced me to Touch for Health.  I did not know what the class entailed, but knew it was my next step…and it was.  Each class I took seemed to build upon and expand upon the knowledge from the others.  This is when I was formally introduced to the world of Kinesiology.  My appetite for learning became vibrant once again and even more alive.  I have since become certified in Kinesiology and continue my studies in it as well other areas.

I am grateful to the many teachers and mentors in my life.  I have had many.  Some have been through formal training where I paid to learn a modality and/or a skill.  Others have been coaches, teachers and friends from childhood and present times.  There have been anonymous faces in the crowd that may have touched me with a kind act or a smile in my direction.  Still others have been with me since the beginning of my journey on this ever turning path.

My parents are a part of my being.  They taught me my value system.  They taught me integrity and love.  They taught me to think for myself and to treat others with respect.  More importantly they taught me what it means to love unconditionally.  My brothers and sister are part of this also. 

I have learned much amidst the triumphs and the failures, the laughter and the tears.
                                                                                                                                 
My brother Kevin is one of my greatest teachers of life and death in this world.  From him I learned that you can die with dignity and live with grace even under the most difficult of circumstances. 

He taught me what it means to be humble yet strong, to accept support while striving and to be willing to go out into the world, even at one’s most vulnerable moments.  He taught me that you sometimes have to fall in order to rise again. 

One of the biggest lessons I learned from Kevin is that laughter and a good sense of humor can shed light on and give levity and healing to even the most discouraging, bleak of times. 


Thank you Kevin, my brother.  I always remember you with a smile.

That is all on me for now.  I, like you, am an ever evolving being, constantly changing and growing into my human potential on my spiritual journey.

Live Well, Be Well,
