There's a quiet kind of peace that has nothing to do with being noticed. It doesn't need applause, agreement, or anyone to finally get it.

When you stop needing to be seen, validated, or understood, something softens. You stop performing, stop explaining, stop waiting for approval from people who were never going to give it. What's left is just you, steady and settled in your own company.

That's not isolation. That's freedom.

Save this for the day you catch yourself needing to be understood. ✨

Calling All Healers: Listening for the Call Within

What if God has already been leaving clues?

Not always through a dramatic message. Not always through a completely new direction.

Sometimes the clues are in what keeps returning to your attention. The gifts people consistently see in you. The experiences that have shaped you. The quiet sense that something is asking for more room.

💜 Healing Touch 💜
Restoring Balance Within the Human Energy Field

NEW Book by Linda Lee Smith (ISHA Founder) and Lisa Mentgen-Gordon
Discover the story behind Healing Touch -
and the people, vision, and heart that brought it to life.

Healing Touch has touched the lives of practitioners, nurses, healthcare professionals, patients, and families around the world. But how did it begin? Who were the people who helped shape it? And what can its history teach us about the future of compassionate, whole-person care?

Co-authors Linda Lee Smith and Lisa Mentgen Gordon bring two uniquely personal perspectives to this story.

Lisa, daughter of Healing Touch founder Janet Mentgen, offers an intimate look at the woman behind the work—her dedication, discipline, vision, and determination to share what she was learning with others.

Linda, one of the earliest Healing Touch instructors and the program's first administrator, shares her experiences working alongside Janet during the formative years as Healing Touch grew from an emerging vision into an organized educational program.

Deb Reis, ISHA Director of the Aromatherapy Program and Margaret Leslie, President of ISHA are contributors to this book💜

Ever notice how the same lesson keeps showing up, just wearing a different outfit? Same kind of person. Same kind of situation. Same feeling, different day.

That's not bad luck. That's a pattern waiting for you to actually see it. The loop doesn't end because life finally gets easier — it ends the moment you choose something different than you did last time.

That one choice is where growth actually starts.

Save this for the pattern you're finally ready to break. ✨

Remembering the wisdom of Hildegard of Bingen, died September 17, 1179 at the age of 81.

"Humankind, full of all creative possibilities, is God’s work. Humankind alone is called to assist God. Humankind is called to co-create. With nature’s help, humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life-sustaining."

Hildegard used herbs like lavender, fennel and hyssop to bring the body back into a healthy balance. She was truly a holistic practitioner, understanding that illness was not a failure of the body but a disruption in the divine life force, viriditas, that flows through all living things. When someone was ill, it was because they lost their life force, or it was weakened. She believed, and practiced, that healing occurred with the use of plants, diet, rest, spiritual balance, and the reconnection of the body with the rhythms of the natural world.

The Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy is committed to the healing of the whole person too. It is an honor to serve you with our classes in the healing arts.
