Lavonia Business to Take Part in Harvard Study

A local businesswoman has been chosen to take part in a scientific study being conducted by Harvard University.

Patty Payne owns a business called, Georgia Healing, which specializes in a form of therapy known as Reiki.

Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

Starting on August 13,  every Thursday from 11 am till 5 pm, Payne will be accepting client’s at her office in the Health & Nutrition Center on Vickery St. in Lavonia to be a part of the study.

Payne said new clients will be asked to fill out a short computer survey conducted by Harvard University before their Reiki session and again after the session.

Anyone interested in taking part in the study is asked to contact Payne at: 678-696-1787 or 706-244-8997 or go online to www.georgiahealing.com.
