with Wonderful Leslie Apking!!!

✨Powerful Testimonials from a Few of Leslie’s Clients:✨

💫“I have Stage 4 breast cancer, and at the time I learned about Leslie and the phenomenal service she provides, I was at an incredibly scary part of my journey. I was seeking some out-of-the-box complementary treatments to help me turn things around. I had recently added integrative oncology support, and was looking for the next piece of the puzzle. Leslie’s Healing Touch is one of the best things I have done for myself in the self-care department! I look forward to each session. The change in my energy is palpable and immediate! I feel hope—and I believe Leslie has been an integral part of this change!”

— M.B.

💫“Thank you to Leslie Andrews Apking for a wonderful Healing Touch Energy Medicine session. I feel notably lighter, centered, and energized. This will certainly become part of my regular self-care routine. If you are carrying stress, experience anxiety, suffer from chronic pain, are seeking balance, or you’re just curious—this is your place!” — R.R.

💫”I’m not one to randomly recommend something unless I truly believe in it—and sometimes the soul knows. I spent this afternoon in a 1.5-hour session with Leslie, and it was wonderful: relaxing, calming, and gentle. She is truly a beautiful spirit with the biggest heart.” — C.B.

We are very excited and honored to introduce and welcome a wonderful woman and gifted healer to our Gypsy Hands Family:

Leslie Apking, Healing Touch Energy Medicine Practitioner

Leslie Apking
(member, Healing Touch Professional Association)

“Everything is energy, and that is all there is to it. ... This is not philosophy. This is physics.” — Albert Einstein

Healing Touch is an energy healing therapy. The goal of Healing Touch is to support the body's natural self-healing process by restoring harmony and balance to your energy system.

Healing Touch can:

● Clear, energize, and balance your energy field
● Reduce your pain, anxiety, and stress
● Facilitate your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being
● Accelerate your natural restorative healing processes

In every human being, energy field disruption is believed to be present before it manifests as a disease process (Oschman, 2000). Disturbance in the energy field can be related to a current illness, history of unresolved trauma, or unexpressed/unprocessed emotional, mental, and spiritual experiences.

Our bodies are constantly bombarded with stress and emotions—but we are often not even conscious of our accumulated, stagnant. and unreleased negative energy. If not properly cleared, over time this negative energy can cause our nervous system to become dysregulated—and put our body into a state of “dis-ease.”

Leslie facilitates a state of deep relaxation during a Healing Touch session by using light or near-body touch. Specific intentions for healing are identified at the beginning of each session—although energy has its own wisdom and goes where needed!

Recipients frequently report:
● Relief from pain, anxiety, and tension
● Better sleep, mood, and emotional balance
● Improvement in chronic conditions
● Reduction in side effects from cancer and other medical and pharmaceutical treatments
● Healing faster from physical injury, surgery, and medical procedures
Healing Touch is the only Energy Medicine modality that is fully accredited and endorsed—by the American Holistic Nurses Association, the Canadian Holistic Nurses Association, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Healing Touch is currently taught or practiced in 34 countries.

Leslie is passionate about helping her clients alleviate the burdens of stress and pain—particularly those suffering from chronic conditions, such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. Leslie first learned about Healing Touch Energy Medicine during her treatments for breast cancer in 2015-2016. Months of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, tissue expansion, and an extreme reaction to radiation treatments gifted Leslie with a newfound empathy for anyone experiencing chronic pain. Divine timing led Leslie to a Healing Touch practitioner and regular therapy.

Leslie was amazed at how quickly her skin began to heal, her pain levels and anxiety decreased, and her mood lightened. She was hooked—and started the Healing Touch Practitioner Level 1 training program in 2016. The title of Healing Touch Practitioner is awarded after completing 5 levels—each successive level encompasses increasing knowledge of theory, energetic understanding, and practice.

Leslie is so happy to be practicing at Gypsy Hands Healing Arts Center. Leslie first met Sara over 20 years ago—and even danced with Sara in the Gypsy Hands Tribal Belly Dance Troupe at Bonnaroo! Leslie feels so incredibly fortunate to be able to work with clients in such a sacred space.

Leslie has practiced Healing Touch for the past seven years. She worked previously in the corporate world—in advertising, media buying strategy/sales, corporate partnership direction, and market research analysis. Leslie is married to Jay Apking, a writer and private Pilates equipment trainer. Her favorite thing in the world is spending time with her family, including her daughter Anna (15) and “adult” son Elijah (25). Leslie loves live music, time with friends, being in nature, meditation, infrared sauna therapy, learning about healing modalities—and all-things energy related!

For more information or to schedule a session, please contact Leslie directly at 865- 660-9532 or [email protected].

We still have a few appointment times available for Brendan Sweetman on Sunday, February 12th! If you are interested in experiencing his powerfully transformative bodywork, please reach out to Gypsy Hands Healing Arts Center at (865) 522-5829, or [email protected]. We hope we can see you soon!

We are so blessed to welcome Brendan Sweetman and his powerfully transformative bodywork to Gypsy Hands Healing Arts Center! Join Brendan now from February 11th through February 12th to experience the beauty of his Nashville-based practice here in Knoxville. 🙏

"Brendan Sweetman’s style of Structural Integration is a method of superficial to deep bodywork focusing on the body-mind-spirit connection by working with the physical and spiritual elements of the fascia. This work was originally developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf and consists of lengthening the core of the body as well as healing limitations from past traumas, both physically and emotionally, while giving strength and balance to the body. Brendan feels this work is needed in the world today to help people feel open and balanced in their body and also, in their mind and spirit. Better body, better world. If you feel great physically it will pass on to all parts of you spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually.
Brendan Sweetman is an advanced practitioner in The Ida Rolf method of Structural Integration. Brendan has also been practicing energy work for over 25 years. He has lived in New Zealand for 18 years learning of his Maori traditions and language, and has traveled the world visiting with many different cultures and learning many different healing modalities which he calls on in his practice."
