Rivers Healing Arts
About Regina Rivers
Background Information
Regina’s childhood prayer, as far back as she can remember, was “God, help me to be whatever You want me to be.” She knew that she would not grow up to become a doctor or a nurse, and yet always had the “knowing” that she would help people heal in some manner.
Presently, using skills that came to her both naturally and from teachers of diverse spiritual backgrounds, including Buddhism, Native (Original) American, and Core Shamanism, Regina and her guiding spirits/angels work together with clients to discover and heal their past and present obstructions so that they can move with focused direction into their future.
Learning from teachers such as Tom Cowan, Brooke Medicine Eagle, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Grandmother Patricia "Mechi" Garza, Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, Bhante Yogavacara Rahula, Patrick McCollum, Nora Cedarwind Young, and Kristin Madden, Regina learned that the flavor of the healing isn't as important as the intent behind the healing. She believes that with the highest healing intention in mind, at their very core, all traditions are much the same.
Among others, Regina’s healing gifts include: Ascension Energy, Reiki, Kolaimni, Holistic Relationship Coaching, UpWriting Yourself™ classes, Past Life Regression, Death Midwifery, Channeling/Meduimship, Primal Release (PR), Journeying, Soul Hiding, Soul Extraction, Soul Retrieval, Meditation and Relaxation Techniques.

I have experienced several energy sessions with Regina. They have always been profound on several levels. Her energy work balances my body. Regina is able to tune into the stuck places and make adjustments to get my energy flowing freely. She is also very intuitive and able to share insights with me that help me to make the mental adjustments necessary to stay in balance as well as to take the next step forward in my life. I so trust Regina and the space she creates for healing that I am able to fully relax and receive the necessary healing.
