Learn about the role of nursing in holistic healing and the peer support program team at Miriam Hospital supporting our healthcare workers. Amy will share a summary of her recent trip to Chicago to present at the ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) National Magnet Conference for Nursing and Miriam’s Magnet designation.

Speaking from her heart, Amy will talk about managing grief and anxiety and how we all have the power to re-regulate our nervous system and re-program our beliefs. Holistic therapies have an equally important place in modern medicine. She will talk about her journey to Ocean State Reiki and the Zulu greeting ‘Sawubona’ meaning “I see you. I see you, too”. She will then recite from a favorite reading to shine light on connection and healing.
