Thekchen

Mitzi Forbes (Thekchen)

Services offered
Aromatherapy
Healing Touch
Meditation coaching

Mitzi Forbes, Ph.D., RN is a faculty member at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. She received a Ph.D. with a major in nursing and a minor in psychology from the University of Arizona in 1998. Her clinical focus has been among chronically ill elders, in the community and at the end-of-life. Dr. Forbes began studying Healing Touch in 1992, and began the RJ Buckle program in clinical aromatherapy in 2003. She is a certified practitioner of both. Now she combines her interest in spiritual care with an interest in researching complementary therapies, knowing that there needs to be a strong evidence base established for complementary therapies before they are widely accepted in mainstream health care. Since 2004, Dr. Forbes has practiced transformative meditation and assisted many others in their practice.
