What is Distance Healing?

Distance healing is a unique and transformative practice that allows healing energy to reach you, no matter where you are. Whether you’re across town or across the globe. This form of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) transcends physical distance, offering you the same benefits as in-person sessions. Imagine receiving healing energy that flows directly to you. Furthermore, helping to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and bring harmony to your body and mind—all without leaving the comfort of your home.

Why Choose Distance Healing?

In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for self-care can be challenging. Distance healing offers a flexible, accessible solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an illness, or simply seeking balance, distance healing can be a powerful tool.

Here’s how distance healing can make a difference:

Pain Relief: Experience a reduction in chronic or acute pain as healing energy works to balance your body’s energy field.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Feel the weight lift as stress and anxiety melt away, replaced by a deep sense of calm and relaxation.
Enhanced Immune Function: Support your body’s natural healing processes, boosting your immune system and overall health.

My Journey: From Pain to Purpose

Cranio Sacral Therapy, Distance Healing logo My path to becoming a CranioSacral Therapist began in 2012, driven by my own need for pain relief. After living with chronic pain for nearly a decade, I discovered CranioSacral Therapy, and it changed my life. The sessions didn’t just alleviate my pain—they opened up a world of new possibilities and a deep sense of purpose. Now, I’m grateful to share this healing journey with others, helping them find relief and move forward in their lives.

As a seasoned CranioSacral therapist and board-certified polarity practitioner, I’ve spent over a decade refining my skills and expanding my knowledge in holistic health. Through my practice, Renew Craniosacral Therapy in the Coachella Valley, I offer both in-person and Distance Healing sessions tailored to your unique needs. And now I am reaching beyond my neighborhood offering remote healing sessions to anyone who is interested.

How Distance Healing Works

Curious about how distance healing works? It’s simpler than you might think, yet profoundly impactful.

We start with a dialog where we establish your intention for the session and create clarity around your challenge. Once we have established the origin or root cause we move on to the process and digest stage. During this part of the session you’ll be invited to find a quiet, comfortable space where you can fully relax and focus on your well-being. This could be your favorite chair, a cozy spot on your bed, or even outside in nature—wherever you feel most at ease. Once you’re settled, I’ll continue the session by tuning into your energy field, directing healing energy to you, no matter where you are physically located.

The process is gentle yet powerful, working to restore balance to your body’s energy systems. You might experience a sense of deep relaxation, warmth, or tingling sensations as the energy flows to where it’s needed most. Some clients even report feeling lighter, more centered, and at peace during and after the session. While each experience is unique, the goal is always the same: to support your body’s natural ability to heal and promote overall well-being.

Healing vs. Curing: Understanding the Difference

Wellness written on blocks It’s important to clarify the distinction between healing and curing. Healing refers to the process of becoming whole, addressing not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of health. On the other hand, curing focuses on eliminating all evidence of disease, often through medical intervention. Distance healing is not about curing; it does not replace medical treatment or claim to eradicate illness. Instead, it complements your healing journey, supporting your body, mind, and spirit in finding balance and harmony. By fostering this state of wholeness, distance healing can enhance your overall quality of life, even if it doesn’t “cure” a specific condition.

Book your session

My goal is to restore the balance of life force to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I offer virtual sessions so you can stay in the comfort of your own home. We will identify the pattern underneath the pain and see what we can transform and digest. It is a wholistic approach to balance and connect through the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual body.

I’d like to underscore that I am here to help create wellness which is “the quality for state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal” and healing which means “becoming whole”. But not curing, which means “eliminating all evidence of disease”.

Who am I?

My name is Moana Schwertsik and I am a cranio sacral and polarity practitioner and have owned my own business for the past 10 years. The journey to becoming an alternative practitioner started when I was looking for ways to ease my chronic pain and restriction of movements.

As I was trying my way through different options I stumbled upon cranio sacral therapy. This was a turning point for me as it resolved many of my issues. This I had to learn for myself and years later here we are.

Of course the healing journey doesn’t ever really end, there are so many layers to our wellbeing.

One important aspect of our lives is nutrition and I have realized and experienced many shifts by changing what I eat. Realizing the importance of nutrition to our path to wellness I have added nutrition coaching to my offerings for my clients.

Why is Nutrition so Important?

Recognizing that we are what we eat, meaning that how we nourish our bodies today will turn into building blocks for our cells tomorrow. Our bodies are very complex and every aspect of us needs to be tended to. It is very difficult to navigate all the different studies we are bombarded with (often done by large companies who try to sell you a product). Grocery stores offer what they think they can sell (not always what is best for you). It can very easily become overwhelming to learn and understand what it is we need to thrive and stay strong and healthy. I urge you not to wait until you become sick, but to start now to support your body in becoming healthier with a strong immune system.

My mission is to empower people in their wellness process toward a life of wellness and joy. And this is an opportunity to give you the tools needed to change habits and maintain a sense of well being.

Healing with Nutrition

Healthy Habits

Healing our Bodies with Nutrition

As a craniosacral and polarity practitioner I have had the privilege of working closely with several clients who wanted to make changes to their lifestyles because they realized how unhealthy they had become. Although my involvement was as a bodywork practitioner I could observe how they made changes to their daily eating habits. Once they were able to create healthier eating habits we could all see how they were healing their bodies with nutrition. It was often a profound change. And it makes sense, the food we eat today creates the cells for tomorrow and gives us the energy to keep our bodies healthy and strong for the work tomorrow.

So I set out to get my certification in nutrition coaching because I realized how spectacular the body is at healing itself, but also how difficult this can be for so many of us. It is a challenge to change something so habitual for us. But once we understand that we can really make a difference and improve our lives with healthy eating habits it becomes a little easier.

I always thought I was eating pretty healthy, but over the last few years I have learned so much and I feel I want to share some of that with you. It’s is a long journey and really a change for life. The way I approach it is not a quick fix or a one size fits all diets. I will not dictate what you can or cannot eat. You will be doing the work to find out what works best for you, and I can help you with whatever challenges come up along the way.

My goal is to help you understand what is beneficial for our body and soul, help you get through or over some stumbling block, (because we are going to find some), and get you out much stronger and healthier the other end. Rather than dealing with the treatment of disease I focus on wellness and prevention of illness through proper diet and nutrition to achieve optimal health.

Let’s get started

Firstly, finding your starting point is important. It helps to take a close look and evaluate where you are today. What and how have you eating so far? Simply by making a list of what you are eating on a daily basis will give you a better understanding and greater clarity of where you truly are. Often we forget some of what we ate and do not realize the impact that had on us. So be very honest and take the time when you make your list of foods consumed.

Secondly, setting a goal of your end result. Create a detailed image of what you want your end result to be. Here again, be specific, immerce yourself and feel the outcome as if you’re already there. Create a vision board for your goal.

Thirdly, the hard work starts. Now we have to create smaller short term goals. These smaller goals should be realistic and fairly easy to achieve at the beginning. It is important to recognize that it will be difficult at first to make changes to lifelong habits. But be persistent!

Nutritious Foods

Even if you only change one small thing and stick with it, that change will become a habit on which you can now build another new habit.

Making habit changes requires a lot of determination. Having the support from family and friends could have a great impact. It is important to surround yourself with people who will support you on this journey.

The changes which you are deciding to make should be to improve a balanced diet. There are several ideas out there but my plate.gov is a great resource and will get you started in the right direction.

Figuring out the ideal calorie intake for you is the next step. This depends on many factors which include but are not limited to age, sex, and activity levels. Most women need 1,600–2,400 daily calories to maintain their weight. Most men need 2,000–3,000 calories.

If you want to be very exact you can reach out to me or any nutrition coach and we can help you with the calculations. But for starters you can figure out how many calories you are eating daily right now and adjust you amount of calories.

That being said I believe it is important that you do not go hungry and this is where things can become a little tricky for some people. This is where you need to learn which foods will help you feel full and satisfied and keep you within you caloric goals.

Then there is also the task of learning to read food labels. That can be a little tricky, but it’s good to make it a habit to look at the labels and check for the ingredients. Remember the ingredients are listed in order of predominance, with the ingredients used in the greatest amount first, followed in descending order by those in smaller amounts.

Healing our bodies with nutrition is a life journey, but it is worth taking the first step.

If you want to start your journey with me come join me in my first of a series of workshop starting on Mar 28th 2023.

Tools Day | Window Cleaner

by Moana Schwertsik | Feb 28, 2023 | Self Care Toolbox, TOOLSday

Window Cleaner – Tools Day

Window cleaners can cost a lot and not all leave you with a streak free shine. Long time ago I had a summer job at a bed and breakfast and the host showed me how she cleaned the windows. I should add that she was one of those ladies who wanted her windows spotless. After all the beautiful view was one of her selling points. All she used ever on her windows and mirrors was a mixture of white vinegar and water. To make sure there was no fuzzy debris on the window she would clean it with old newspaper. It worked like magic, and I have used it ever since.

Let’s start with the basics of the window cleaner.

In a spray bottle combine:

White vinegar
Water

Just a little shake and this window and glass cleaner is ready to be used. You will be left with clean windows and a fresh smell in you home without the use of any chemical. Yay for an easy way to serve our mother earth.

Why nutrition became important to me.

by Moana Schwertsik | Jan 18, 2023 | Body

Why did nutrition became important to me?

Why did nutrition become important to me? Well, I grew up in a family which took great care in eating healthy and nutritious foods. We’d often go to the farmers directly to get our milk, eggs, and sometimes even the whole chicken. I remember special trips to get some honey right from the beekeeper, this was quite the experience. One time the bee farmer gave me a piece of honeycomb and as you can imagine the honey dripped all over me, because I couldn’t eat it fast enough. It was soooo very sweet and yummy. My hands and clothes were sticky for the rest of the day, but that was ok, that experience of fabulous honey straight from the comb will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Nutritious Foods

We also sat with the family for most meals and it was a relaxing time. We would sit and enjoy our food and a conversation, chewing our food slowly and enjoying the flavors.

Then I grew up and went out into the world on my own. I got swept up into the world of rushing all the time and not taking the time to sit and eat and truly enjoy my food. Short lunch breaks if you got any at all. What I realize now is that when you are in it you don’t stop and think about how hard that is for you body.

The journey can be long.

Then one day I realized that my digestion was suffering. There had been a series of events that happened in my life and I decided to stop and reevaluate what I was doing. The one thing I learned was that as they say ‘we are what we eat’. I did take a closer look at that and started to recognize that I was not choosing my foods wisely. Most of what we need has been provided by nature. All the good and nutritious stuff, the vitamins and minerals are all provided to us. I set out on a journey to change my diet habits and improve on the foods I was eating and get back to enjoying the process of nourishing my body.

It has been a longer but fun journey and I honestly feel better. There have been a lot of changes, some easy and some quite hard. Some habits are really hard to break. Many habits have an emotional component attached to them and the were the most difficult to change.

As I continue to make changes and learn more about nutrition and what the body truly needs to be healthy, I have become stronger with more energy and fewer aches and pains.

Along the way I became a nutrition coach and would love to pass on some of my knowledge and support on. I will continue to share some of my journey and how the different changes have helped me feel better and stronger. Feel free to check out our Youtube channel for some more insights.
