Healing that comes from the heart.

A wife's love became a calling.

Compassionate Healing Arts was never meant to be just a business. It was a response to love.

For over two decades, Amber Schuson has watched her husband navigate the daily reality of fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis, two conditions that bring relentless chronic pain. When the medications doctors prescribed came with side effects that outweighed any relief they offered, Amber refused to accept that this was simply the way things had to be.

She started researching. She started learning. And she's kept learning for over 20 years.

What began with herbal medicines (tinctures, poultices, teas) grew into a rich understanding of the body's energy systems. She discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), acupressure, and eventually Reiki. Each practice deepened her belief that the body has a profound capacity to heal when given the right support.

The more people Amber helped, the clearer her calling became. She wanted to bring her knowledge to anyone who had ever felt unheard, or unseen, by the healthcare system, or who was looking for gentle, effective relief alongside (or instead of) conventional treatment.

Compassionate Healing Arts was born from that calling.
