The Integrative Healing Workshop has had a profound effect on my life. Mainstream medicine was unable to address my symptoms or the underlying causes. By practicing processes such as not labeling, I am no longer plagued by anxiety and high blood pressure. With this practice and that of Eckhart Tolle, I'm spending far less time in the past and in the future. I am living peacefully in the present moment. Thank you for this wonderful work.

During Buddhist practice i have had a few experiences of my true nature. But, mostly i feel stuck in my karma. Richard's workshops have given me simple tools to face my karma, my stuckness, and see what is really there. At each workshop i practice the tools and understand myself better. i have gained confidence in my true nature. i am very grateful to have had the experience of Richard's workshops and individual work. They have made a difference in this life.

Your Integrative Healing workshop was great. I have been using the tools and I feel a sense of strength and peace. Just accepting, instead of fighting to control things seems to release this giant burden off my back.
~ Joey Legnon, Newark, CA

Of two previous workshops and many personal sessions this workshop delivered my material at a level deeper than ever—I felt a breakthrough. It's not head-knowledge, it's a deep shift in perspective… a knowing. I find it much easier to learn through others' processes and then moving to identify it within myself.  I look forward to the continued deepening of my material in future group experiences.

The redness/irritation on my neck cleared up completely after the South Tahoe workshop and hasn’t come back.
~ Daniel Fylstra, Incline Village, NV

The day after  the workshop I had a very integrating experience with my father.  I loved  him dearly but was severely abused by him at my mothers command.  I was  able to meet him in my heart center and appreciate the gifts I had gained. I  can now appreciate him for his time, circumstance, and accomplishments. Since  then I have been more at peace with myself.  I have more energy to give  to my life and see solutions faster and easier from simple things to complex  issues. I am very pleased and appreciative of the gift of the Integrative  Healing process.  Thank you from my heart to yours.

My first experience with Richard's 'Integrative Healing Workshop' was a powerful one! Richard's patient, compassionate way of teaching put me at ease in a group and helped me get to the core of what really needed to be addressed within myself.  He also gave us the tools we need to continue the 'integration' process within ourselves.
      I'd like to add on a more personal note that I can testify to how closely linked the emotional is with the physical!  Thru our one-on-one sessions, my high blood pressure has gone down and become more manageable.  Pain has been subsiding.  Also an earache problem I've had for years, which no doctor could find a cause or cure for, has totally stopped!

Raedene and I founded the Western Institute of Natural Healing 17 years ago in order to present and promote various modes of natural healing. Other than our own Quantum Energetics classes we have conducted since then, we have never found another modality worthy of sponsoring... until now.
   We are happily sponsoring Richard Skeie's Integrative Healing Workshop here in Castle Rock for a couple of reasons: We attended his Integrative Healing presentations at our annual national conference in Glen Ivy and observed first-hand his rapid, holistic insights to the personal questions presented from the audience. He is able to integrate a wide variety of physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological techniques and perspectives in a loving and non-threatening manner. In addition, he possesses a profound understanding of the integrating wholeness of all things. And. . .he does this quickly, lovingly going directly to the center of the question

I have known Richard Skeie since he began his QEST training in California in 1997 with The Western Institute of Natural Healing.  He is an insightful  practitioner of natural healing and energy medicine.  I have watched as his primary focus in healing began to integrate the facets of energy medicine and physical healing with his previous training and passion in psychotherapy, helping people uncover deeply learned, and often destructive, emotional patterns. These patterns can hold in place the experience of physical dis-ease slowing the natural process of healing.
     I recommend Richard's work in Integrative Healing to bring light to these deeply held emotional patterns and to  assist in integrating this newfound awareness with the joy of emerging health and wholeness.

Once again, I am co-hosting Richard Skeie's return to Fort Collins. The feedback from everyone last time was extremely positive. Several of you requested a two-day workshop in order to really go in-depth.  I know of no one of his expertise (who is as available!) who comes from his heart center, loves what he does, and yet you feel unconditional love, but no FLUFF!"

Mom and I are looking forward to seeing you again in June.  Your workshop has changed my life.  What you do is amazing and something that I would like to be able to do in the future.
~ Brenda S., QEP, South Dakota

I’ve been a practitioner of holistic healing for thirty-seven years. I was so moved by the Integrative Healing work that I brought Richard to South Lake Tahoe to teach a workshop. I encouraged clients and friends to come and paid for my family to attend.
~ Donna C., HHP, MQEP, CA

Having experienced Richard's Integrative Healing on personal and professional levels, I decided his workshop would be a great offering of The Centre. I am grateful that I attended. I was able to bring subconscious patterning to awareness.  I could not believe the power and immediacy of the shifts that resulted from awareness alone.  It has to be experienced to be believed. The response from all participants was overwhelmingly positive. We are planning to expand the venue and explore bringing him back monthly.

At the last minute, my husband decided to join me in attending your Integrative Healing Workshop in San Jose. He chose to forego his once-a-year event (that he previously insisted he could not and would not miss).  He was glad he chose your workshop. It was interesting, insightful and useful for both of us.  We were impressed with your ability to weave and blend a broad base of therapies and modalities into seamless, beneficial information that illuminated hidden parts of ourselves that heretofore we had not realized were present.  Not only did you shine a light on the unconscious areas that stymie and hinder us from getting and having the most out of life and relationships, you gave us the ‘whys’, the ‘wherefores’ and ultimately, the tools and means to resolve them. Thank you!

Much of my job-hunting focus was external. The workshop took my hunt to the interior. It was by looking within and honoring that darkness that it transformed the external world. It's the strangest thing. I have never experienced anything like it before. Suddenly doors on the outer are opening.
~ Laurita Mechy, Fort Collins, CO

"Richard is a rare find. I know of no one who matches his expertise, clarity of perception, compassion, depth of understanding and love for helping people. I am so appreciative of his work with me and of the improved level of health that I now experience.  I recently shoveled over two  feet of heavy snow on my driveway and sidewalk with no fibromyalgia response. It seems that by having things brought to my awareness, my body can now use energy for healing that it had previously used to keep things submerged and in pain."
~ Judith Heath, Quantum Energetics Institute, Ft. Collins, CO

Richard has an expertly disarming way of weaving conversation and story telling into a journey that invited me into the deep darkest caverns of my soul as well as the highest peaks of bliss and joy.  By allowing the contrasts to be revealed and acknowledged, I was on the path to awaken to the true self through integration, harmony and inner peace.  His work is heart-centered and authentic.

I consulted on the phone with Richard, whom I had never met. He gave me profound and life changing insight into my physical, emotional and spiritual condition.  I am recovering from Parkinson’s dis-ease, a condition which two years ago had made it nearly impossible for me to work (managing some 20 people), drive or dress myself.  Through a program of Chinese herbs, t’ai chi and acupuncture I have largely healed.  I want to heal completely.  Richards gentle questioning, understanding of the mind body connection, and unconditional love have started me on the endless journey to greater self acceptance and health.

My shoulder dislocated over 50 times. Six years ago I scheduled surgery then cancelled and went to Richard.  My shoulder hasn’t been a problem since and I regularly play basketball.  In 1998 I severely injured my right knee playing soccer.  The orthopedic surgeon said I needed several areas repaired including an ACL replacement.  We scheduled surgery and I also made an appointment with Richard.  A week later, the surgeon couldn’t tell which knee had been injured without looking at his chart—no surgery.  Later, I had an appointment for a chronic back problem (from sports injuries).  The relief is incredible.  I have not felt this good in 10 years.  I highly recommend Richard.

Though I had been meditating and practicing numerous personal growth modalities for more than a decade, the critical voice in my head remained just as loud and just as mean. Much to my dismay, that voice was even more critical of others. This was a major cause of my suffering. During sessions with Richard, I discovered parts of myself that I had sent underground  for years. I had no idea the price spiritually and emotionally of rejecting and ignoring integral parts of myself. Rather than trying to transform the darker arts of myself, with insightful guidance, I was able to explore and accept all parts of myself without fear or judgment. In a strange way, it is almost as if the sessions “snuck in” a form of awakening that allowed the years of meditation and growth practices to take form. Richard is an amazing intuitive guide who will take you on a spiritual healing journey that will last a lifetime.

Richard has helped me to expand my views of the world and of myself.  He helps me know there is no “wrong answer,” no judgment—just encouragement to explore ideas, sensations, realities, perceptions, and new ways of feeling. In that exploration I find what is right for me. He works according to my rhythm. I’ve felt supported, safe and “okay” through some very scary changes. He’s helped me expand my vision to see the gift in the situation and its perfection in my growth process.  I don’t know how I would have made it through parts of the last five years without him.  My work with Richard has made me a better healer for my clients and a better teacher for my students.  I more readily recognize and celebrate the perfection in all our lives. Carl Jung said,  “...the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”  Sometimes what I need is a trusted friend to carry that light through the tunnel so I can feel my way more confidently.  That is what Richard has always been for me. I have referred clients and friends to Richard for years and will continue to do so.

I was feeling desperate when I came to Richard. I was facing surgery for a broken leg that wouldn't heal. My energy meridians didn't respond to corrections, so we began exploring unconscious material.

     We found a deep inner compulsion to work, work, work. Consciously, my self-esteem was tied up in ‘overdoing.’ My broken leg gave me permission to rest. It was actually the solution to a deep, subtle problem. With the emotional realization, my energy body responded. That week my doctor was surprised to report that, I was out of the woods. The cast came off very soon thereafter.

     Years passed... a broken foot unearthed a deeper, subtler-yet level of the pattern—this time compulsively doing something I loved--landscaping. More years passed and I broke my foot after compulsively filling every moment of my honeymoon with activity. All were successively subtler passes of the same pattern.

     A year passed… this time I severely broke my elbow. The physical problem was coupled with a seemingly unrelated, deeply disturbing misunderstanding with someone.  The person's reactivity was bewildering, seemed unjustified and way out of proportion.  With Richard's assistance and using Integrative Healing tools, we lit up another deep, dark pocket of my psyche. It opened a doorway into much greater depths of self-awareness… AND it turned out to be the very key to healing this latest physical challenge. This round of bringing the dark recesses to light has resulted in another miracle—although two doctors determined that I must have surgery, the orthopedic surgeon just reported that I don't need it after all. My arm will soon function perfectly.

     The physical benefits have been the least of my healing. My love of life has blossomed with each fearful plunge into the darkness of my depths. I am  extremely appreciative of Integrative Healing and my work with Richard.
