Physician as Healer

Creating Healing Environments ~ for Physicians and other Health Professionals

Heal Yourself ~ Heal Your Environment ~ Heal Your Community

Physician As Healer © is an innovative program for physicians who desire to bring a holistic healing environment into every aspect of their practice.  This is for health professionals, including MDs, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, psychotherapists, nurses and acupuncturists, anyone who has the desire to bring a holistic healing environment to their inner and outer world.

• Included is a full assessment, beginning with the needs and desires of the practitioner, the staff and the physical space.
• Recommendations are then made for creating a Healing Environment, such as energy clearing sessions, changes to the flow of the space, classes such as Reiki to attune everyone to a similar healing frequency, adding music and art;
• Last, we help implement the changes with you, for yourself, your staff, and your clients. This may include providing resources for local practitioners to assist in the process.

The objective is to inspire the practitioner/physician: as we are inspired and love our work, we become an inspiration and create a Healing Presence ourselves. With the physician at the heart of the practice, the goal is to support the practitioner in (re)discovering her/his passion for their work.

Our work takes place in three phases:

Phase One :: Assessment

Zelie Duvauchelle and Lucia Maya

1. Beginning with the practitioner(s) – we meet and listen.  What are your needs and desires? What is working and what wants change? What do you love about your work and where are you aligned with it, and where do you feel your most authentic self? What delights you?
2. We next meet and interview the staff – asking similar questions and noticing what structures are in place, what is working, where is there ease and flow, and where is there conflict or tension? How are your clients met? How are they responded to? Do they feel comfortable and welcome?
3. The final aspect of this phase is the physical environment – how and where do clients/patients enter? Is there a sense of warmth and caring? How does the process through the waiting room, reception, exam room and payment process look and feel, from a patient’s perspective?

Phase Two :: Recommendations

1. Body – working with the physical body and the physical environment, we make recommendations ranging from colors, music, art, placement of furniture and plants using energetic clearing and opening the flow.
2. Mind – this includes trainings for practitioners and staff, including Reiki classes and attunements, Ho’oponopono workshops, and residential retreats in Moloka’i, Hawai’i and Tucson, Arizona.
3. Spirit – we offer individual and group sessions to provide deeper healing of relationships, family and ancestral patterns, including the use of Reiki and Hawaiian energy healing.

Phase Three :: Implementation

1. Begin immediate work with the recommendations of the highest priority for the practitioner, to begin the transformations at the heart of the practice, within the physician.
2. Put in place the recommendations with the staff and the physical environment. Depending on location, we can provide the services or make local recommendations based on our extensive contacts and resources.
3. Make long-term goals for your practice, creating goals for the entire practice, so that the clients/patients are receiving the greatest benefits from the transformations through the Physician As Healer Program.

Surgery as Ritual of Transformation

One aspect of this program is working with the patients and clients in the practice.  For those who are preparing for surgery, there is a conscious process one can enter which can greatly enhance healing – including faster recovery, less pain and less need for pain medication, fewer complications and overall better outcomes.

Transformational Surgery : when one goes into the surgery with a clear intent – seeing the surgery itself as a ritual, a ceremony which is transformative.   As in all universal ritual processes, you begin with fasting, preparing body, mind and spirit; placing yourself in the hands of the surgeon, aka shaman/priest/priestess/healer; and with the help of the anesthesiologist, you transition into an altered state,  being laid out on the table, with arms open wide, surrendered and knowing that you will emerge transformed…

We can assist in creating a conscious process for anyone preparing for or recovering from surgery.  This choice changes the mundane surgery into a truly profound transformational aspect of the healing journey.  See Lucia’s blog post for her personal story…
