THE RAPHAELITE WORK
is a powerful form of self-care and personal healing, the core of which lies in embracing wholeness and wellness as our natural state of being. Through the presence of the practitioner to the client, and the client to him/herself, a space is created which fosters openness to self-exploration. Transformative processes which honor the innate Healing Intelligence present within each of us are activated at deep levels.
The Raphaelite Work is a deep, gentle and allowing mode of healing offering immeditate as well as long-term benefits.

TWO TYPES OF SESSIONS
are offered in the Raphaelite Work, each of which may be experienced as a stand-alone healing session or as part of a series of sessions. Most sessions last about an hour, with the first appointment lasting 75-90 minutes.
- Hands-on Healing Sessions
Following an assessment interview, the fully clothed client relaxes on a massage table. The five domains — physical, mental, emotional, moral (relationships) and spiritual — are approached through physical touch to specific energy points as the client is present to energy flow and changes in the various bodies. Sessions last about one hour, depending on the specific issues and needs of the client.
- One-to-One Processing Sessions
Client and practitioner sit comfortably in chairs, as in a normal conversational setting. Following an assessment interview, the client begins a dialogue by noticing what he/she is experiencing in the five domains. The practitioner, using non-directive inquiry, supports the client in perceiving the subtle changes of energy in the various bodies. The act of being present to these shifts, with the non-judgmental presence of the practitioner, brings insight, understanding and healing to the issues confronting the client.

NAMED FOR THE ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL
the angel of Healing and Science, The Raphaelite Work integrates wisdom from spiritual paths, insights from modern depth psychology, scientific research, and modern clinical practice. It does not require acceptance or understanding of a particular school of spiritual thought or practice, but rather simply an openness to self-exploration, growth and personal transformation. Its primary assumption is that, as one learns to be present to oneself, in all its aspects, one's capacity for healing of self and others develops in direct proportion.
