Reiki and Energy Healing
In 1993 Maureen learned Reiki - and worked on her younger sister who was diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma. Her sister was advised by her surgeon that she would only have 2 months to live - yet with weekly Reiki sessions she survived 2 years.

In 1997 she became certified in Vibroacoustic Sound Healing and completed training as a Clinical Aromatherapist in 2003.

After closing her yoga studio in 2003 to return to infection control nursing Maureen convinced the Chief Nursing Officer to start a Reiki Training Program for integration into orthopedic care. The progrm was a huge success and she trained hundreds of nurses, physicians, physical therapists and community-wide members.

Hatha Yoga Teacher
Maureen started practicing yoga when she was 15 yrs old in Boston. By the time she was 17 in nursing school - she started teaching her nursing school classmates yoga. Her yoga teaching career continued and she taught yoga to the community at Carney Hospital, Dorchester, MA, then to employees at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, West Roxbury, and to employees at Massachusetts General Hospital. She worked at all these hospitals as the Director of the Infection Prevention Program - her professional nursing career.
After being laid off in a corporate downsizing at Massachusetts General Hospital during the Partners Healthcare merger - she left infection control and opened a yoga studio in Abington, MA.

Cymatron Sound Table - Healing with Vibroacoustic Therapy
Maureen started working with the "DreamWeaver" Vibroacoustic sound mat in 1997 after training with Benedick Howard, Sacred Scientist. In 2002 she developed a modification of the DreamWeaver - using a sound table and called it the Cymatron - after the field of science of wave forms and oscillations called Cymatics. She has trained 30 practitioners who offer private healing sessions in this cutting edge healing modality. Maureen has given over 10,000 private sessions and has many "miracles" in her practice. While reclining on the sound table the music vibrates cells and tissues, which helps release toxins, stagnation and structural constrictions. The doedecahedron (copper structure) around the body actually expands the energy in the aura, freeing quantum particles that are part of our subtle energy system. Foreign to western medicine, sacred geometric structures, temples, churches and homes are common in eastern cultures. They knew there was a positive effect on the mind and body when under or within these structures. In July 2008 Maureen and Christine Heffernan, RN were filmed by the popular Boston evening magazine show - Chronicle - on the Cymatron Sound Table, showing two of her clients who benefited from sessions with Maureen.
