A Private Session With Caroline

A professional yet nurturing atmosphere is the setting for the client's first visit. After the formalities of taking pertinent information, there is a conversation with Caroline that is focused on what the client wants to accomplish in the healing and growth process. A discussion to ascertain the most effective type of complementary healing modality to assist the client is then held. Over forty years of experience has taught Caroline that each client needs to access his or her healing in a totally individual manner.

Caroline's healing modality background includes Holistic Synergy Energy Work, Vibrational Healing, Johrei Channel, Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, NeuroLinguistic Programming, Intuitive Counseling, CranioSacral Therapy, Reflexology, Chi Nei Tsang massage, Orthobionomy, Herbal Education, Homeobotanical Therapy, Aromatherapy, Conscious Eating Choices Training, Crystal and Color Therapy, DreamWork, Feng Shui, Flower Essences, Iridology, Nutrition, and more.

Using one or many of the above modalities, Caroline will assist a client to learn more about himself and why the challenges are present in his life. The client will then open up to healing himself or deal with the issue in another way. The comfort of the client with the practitioner and himself is an important part of the healing process and is greatly respected at all times.

• Director of N.H.C., New Jersey Center
• Director of Product Development
• Director of HIV/AIDS Program
• Instructor/Professor: Northeast Holistic Center, Institute of Wholistic Theology and Vital Connection University

Seeking the truth has led to a life passion of studying and living holistic healing for Mora. Her desire to learn the truths about the human experience and exploring natural options opened her to the world of complementary healing taught and experienced at Northeast Holistic Center, in 1994. She has been an integral part of the NHC since 1998, and now serves as the North New Jersey Center Director at the Belleville location.

Mora joined the Northeast Holistic Center on its path to educate and assist others in Complementary Healing modalities and spiritual personal growth. Having received certificates in Aromatherapy: Clinical Applications in Long Term Care, Iridology, and Nutrition, Mora has also completed certification in Aromatherapy and Reflexology at the NHC, as well as in the process of completing certifications in Flower Essences and Herbal Education. In keeping with her goal to be a holistic practitioner, she is enrolled in the three level certification course of study in Holistic Synergy. Her experiences also include studies in Feng Shui, Tarot, Conscious Choices in Eating, Crystal Therapy, Hypnosis, Chemical Aromatherapy, Clinical Aromatherapy and Yoga. Mora has also facilitated a traditional therapy support group for sexual abuse. Expanding her expertise into the complementary healing field, she now facilitates the Healing Circle at the NHC.

Her involvement in community affairs has led Mora to become a member of the Priority Setting Committee for the Newark EMA Council on AIDS and HIV for the Ryan White Title I Grant that led to the Northeast Holistic center being awarded the Ryan White title  Grant for HIV and AIDS. She is an ordained and licensed Minister and Educator of Holistic Health Care.

The world of holistic health care has provided Mora with new and more positive approaches to communication, thinking and experiencing life. She has utilized her knowledge in her interactions with the community and her family life. Natural healthy options in health care and dealing with her children’s day-to-day common illnesses are now a part of her compendium of knowledge compiled over the last eight years of learning and embracing her new way of life.
