Rare Disease Day is in February.

Rare diseases are often described as “rare,” but living with them doesn’t feel rare at all.

In my family, multiple rare diseases have shaped our lives—our healthcare journeys, our resilience, and the way we show up for one another. What many don’t see are the years to diagnosis, the advocacy, the unanswered questions, and the strength it takes to keep going.

Rare Disease Day is about awareness—but also about honoring the millions of individuals and families navigating conditions most people have never heard of.

Today, I stand with the rare disease community.
Seen. Heard. Counted. 🦓

Countdown to Rare Disease Day, Feb 28

We stand together as a community to raise awareness for IgA Nephropathy and the millions of people affected by rare diseases worldwide.

Living with IgAN—or caring for someone who does—comes with unique challenges, but you are not alone. Your story has the power to educate, inspire, and create change. We invite you to share your experience, spread awareness, and show your stripes today.

SOCIAL MEDIA KIT
Use our social media toolkit to amplify your voice and let the world know that the IgAN community is strong, resilient, and united.

A peer-reviewed study found that women receiving Healing Touch during cervical cancer treatment showed measurable shifts in blood metabolites linked to stress, energy, and inflammation. These findings suggest Healing Touch may support the body’s ability to reset and build resilience even during intensive treatment. I am thankful that we offer Healing Touch on our hospital!

I am looking forward to attending this conference in my hometown. As a SUNY at Buffalo graduate and former nurse at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, it is especially meaningful to return for an event focused on education, professional development, networking, and collaboration. Holistic nursing encompasses a broad and integrative approach to care, and I am excited to engage with colleagues and continue learning.

We're excited to announce that registration for our 46th annual conference is officially open! Gathering in Niagara Falls from June 10th-14th 2026, AHNA members and friends will explore the theme of "Holistic Nursing: Engaging Mother Nature’s Wisdom"

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, many are seeking a return to balance, wellness, and deeper connection. This conference invites holistic nurses to lead the way- reconnecting with the timeless healing power of nature.

By embracing Mother Nature’s rhythms and restorative energy, participants will discover new paths to compassionate care, resilience, and personal renewal.

Through nature-based healing practices, holistic nutrition, Indigenous knowledge, cultural traditions, and evidence-based interventions, this gathering will offer practical tools rooted in the Holistic Nursing Core Values.

Attendees will explore the therapeutic roles of plants, animals, natural elements, and seasonal cycles, gaining insights into how sensory engagement and earth-centered practices can nourish mind, body, and spirit.

Together, we will cultivate a more grounded, vital, and connected future for holistic nursing and global wellness.

PLEASE NOTE: Rooms outside of AHNA’s room block at the Sheraton Hotel and nearby hotels are expected to fill up quickly due to the FIFA World Cup taking place nearby in Canada during our conference dates. This will also cause AHNA’s room block to sell out sooner than usual. We encourage you to make your hotel reservation as soon as possible, as AHNA will not be able to request additional rooms once the block is full.

Our team from Tranquility was blessed with an invitation to hear the amazing Dr. Ka-Kit Hui speak on the topic, “Advancing Healthcare Through Integrative East-West Medicine at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine. He is a senior physician, educator, researcher, and integrative medicine expert at UCLA.
His work focuses on blending modern medical science with principles from traditional Chinese medicine to promote health, disease prevention, and overall well-being. He is such an influential person in the integrative medicine world.

What a great study. We see bruxism so often in the hospital—something that affects about 25% of the global population. Since teeth grinding frequently goes hand-in-hand with anxiety, this research really resonated with me.

The combination of marjoram (Origanum majorana) essential oil inhalation and neurofeedback showed better outcomes than neurofeedback alone. Marjoram even lowered salivary cortisol. We use marjoram regularly in our hospital, so it’s validating to see evidence backing up what we’ve noticed clinically.
Thanks to Scott A. Johnson for sharing this!

Tranquility began in 2017 at UMC, and I am deeply thankful for how our program has grown. We’ve been able to expand our reach and introduce holistic modalities hospital-wide, benefiting both patients and staff.

I’m especially grateful for our Tranquility group and the strong sense of teamwork and friendship we’ve built along the way. It’s truly a pleasure spending time together outside of work and celebrating our first cookie exchange!

Love the “energetic alignment” of Healing Touch!

Not all misalignment shows up in your posture.
Sometimes it’s a buzzing mind that won’t quiet down…
Or that subtle sense that something inside you feels just a little off. 🌿

💛 Energetic alignment isn’t just about feeling “okay.”
It’s about feeling whole.
Clear. Grounded. Connected.

Healing Touch helps restore that inner harmony — gently supporting your energy system so your mind, body, and emotions can come back into sync.

Because when your energy is aligned, everything flows easier: your thoughts, your breath, your relationships, your sense of peace.

You don’t have to power through. You get to come back to center — with compassion and care. 💚

It was a privilege to teach a Healing Touch Level 1 class this past weekend for UMC employees. Healing Touch empowers participants with techniques to support their own health and well-being, as well as that of their families, colleagues, and the patients they serve. I love that UMC embraces holistic nursing!

Healing Touch is such a great modality to help with health. I love all of the research coming out to support biofield therapy.

Did you know stress can actually make arthritis pain worse? 💡

When your nervous system is on high alert, pain feels bigger, sharper, and harder to manage. Emotional strain and physical discomfort often feed each other, creating a cycle that feels impossible to break.

Healing Touch helps calm the nervous system, restore balance, and create a sense of safety in the body. When your energy settles, pain feels less overwhelming — giving you more space to breathe, move, and live.

Have you noticed how stress impacts the way your body feels?

Your healing matters. So does your calm. 💚
