What is Energetic Healing?
Human beings are made up of both a physical body, consisting of flesh and bone, as well as a subtle energetic body consisting of mind, emotion and spirit. Your lifetime of beliefs, thoughts, feelings and emotions are energetically recorded or stored within subtle energetic systems, individually known as chakras and collectively referred to as our auric body.

Discordant thoughts, as well as incompletely expressed or repressed feelings and emotions, often create constrictions or blocks of the flow within your energetic bodies. Energetic constrictions are perceived and treated similar to the way that a massage therapist perceives and treats physical muscular tension. The body is checked to identify areas of imbalance, and then movement is initiated to restore flow. The energetic healer utilizes directed life force energy or chi to "massage" the energetic constriction, much like the masseuse uses their hands to massage the constricted muscle. Energetic stagnation or energetic imbalance, if not addressed, will become more dense over time and eventually can manifest as physical disease.

Energetic Healing sessions improve the synergistic balance of your subtle energy system. This is accomplished by clearing and balancing your energetic body, along with working to align your intent to heal, and by helping you to connect to the deeper core of your being.

Through conscious attention to your constricted energies, the causal memory is reactivated, creating an opportunity for the repressed emotion to be expressed fully. Complete emotional expression initiates the release of an energetic blockage, thus restoring healthy flow to your subtle energy body. This facilitates wellness and healing on all levels of our being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. back

What does Energetic Healing help with?
Energetic Healing is a powerful modality for gaining personal insight into the healing process of a particular life challenge, as well as identifying underlying belief systems that might be a contributing factor. It helps you to get in touch with a deeper understanding of what is going on within yourself, why it is going on from the perspective of cause and the deeper spiritual life lessons involved. This modality has been helpful with most emotional and physical challenges.

How is Energetic Balance connected with my health?
Everything is made up of energy—you are made up of energy, as is everything around you. Even your thoughts and emotions carry an energetic vibration. Your personal energies are delicately balanced within your subtle energetic systems—your chakras and your auric body. The health of your subtle energetic system affects your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. When your energy systems become disrupted or blocked, you are less able to cope and experience feeling stressed, which in turn has a negative impact on your physical body systems. Your subtle energetic systems have an energetic connection to your physical organs, glands and bodily systems. When the energy supplied to your bodily systems is disrupted, the body organs and systems are less able to defend against disease and injury. Knowing the connections and energy relationships means the nature of the disease and its location can guide us to where an energy block or imbalance is occurring. This also provides information regarding what needs to be done energetically to clear that block. By working with your energy system, we can access all levels your being- body, mind, emotions and spirit to achieve a genuine state of holistic health.

How long are sessions?
Introductory sessions are 1.5 hours to allow time for us to discuss your needs and to answer any questions that you might have prior to receiving your session. Subsequent sessions generally run 1 to 1.5 hours. The session length will vary depending on what modalities are being utilizing to meet your healing needs. Session length can be determined prior to you appointment so you are able to plan your time and funds accordingly. back

What typically happens during a session?
The mechanics of a healing session are quite simple from the physical point of view. We will take a few minutes to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and establish our session intent. Afterwards you will be asked to take off any jewelry, your shoes and socks, and then lie on the treatment table. No other clothing need be removed. I work intuitively to determine the mix of therapies that will best suit your needs. Every treatment is customized to meet your highest good and your intent for the session.

I begin our session by placing my hands on your feet and initiate sending healing energies into your body. I proceed to slowly move up the body, placing my hands in key positions and using various healing techniques, depending on what is intuitively revealed about your condition. You may sense the flow of energies with feelings of warmth, coolness, tingling or relaxation during the treatment. It is quite common for clients to fall asleep or drift off during a treatment. This is normal and allows for deep healing to occur at an unconscious level. There are some modalities that consist of a cooperative intuitive dialog involving both of us where I will request that you keep yourself present and verbally active in the process. You will be gently directed in the moment and do not need to worry about remembering what to do. You will be directed as needed and the rest of the time you can just relax and enjoy. As the session progresses and the healing energies become more manifest, you will probably go into a very deep state of relaxation.

It is not uncommon to experience some form of emotional release during a session. This may be anything from laughter to tears. This is perfectly normal and frequently part of the healing process. Should an emotional release occur, it is important not to suppress it. Releasing the emotion enables healing to occur. Emotional releases may also be experienced after a treatment, and again should be allowed to occur without suppression. The honoring of our emotions, in the moment, is a significant aspect of our healing process.

For several days following your treatment, it is very important that you drink a lot of water. This helps your body flush away toxins that may have been released as part of your healing process. Not drinking enough water can possibly bring on a headache. It is possible to experience some symptoms similar to the process that occurs with dietary cleansing/detoxification. It is more likely that you might feel tired after the treatment. If so, please allow yourself time to rest and replenish. This is your body telling you that it is still integrating the healing energies. Learning to honor your body rhythms and emotions are important aspects your health and well-being.

Often clients feel an immediate improvement. There are some people whose systems need a few days to allow their body to integrate the healing energies. In the latter case, you may experience varying emotional states, memories of past events or changing physical symptoms. When this occurs you are actually "processing" and clearing "stuff" as a result of the energetic shifts that occurred during your session. This is sometimes referred to as a healing crisis, but be assured that it is just your body's natural way of releasing what needs to be cleared. Your body would not be releasing this if you were not ready. The resurfacing of old emotions and/ or symptoms is part of our clearing process, as it allows us to consciously honor what is being released from of our system. back

How do I determine my session focus?
A good place to start is to ask yourself what has been challenging you lately. Is there a situation or emotion that is taking a lot of your energy to manage? Transformational energetic healing is a profound healing modality to assist in revealing the source and solution to virtually any life challenge. This facilitative process assists with the awakening and empowering of your innate healing ability and your Divine Wisdom. back

How often should an energy work session be received?
The number and frequency of sessions received varies, yet a minimum series of three sessions is recommended Maintenance sessions, if needed, should be at intervals of every two to four weeks.
back

How many sessions will I need?
The answer is that it varies depending on the nature of your challenge and the result you desire. Sometimes one treatment is enough, but in other cases several treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. The latter is more likely to be the case if you have a chronic (long term) problem.

Some people may just want (or need) an occasional balancing or relaxation session, while others will want regular sessions as part of their ongoing journey of personal and spiritual growth. Energetic healing is much like a massage for the soul. The effects of regular energetic balancing are exponential, leading to deep and sustained changes in the person's life. back

How long will I feel the effects of a session?
After a session, you usually will feel the healing effects strongly for about three days. After a few days, your energetic system may revert back to its old habitual distortion to a certain extent. With each successive healing session, your energetic system regains more of its original healthy configuration. The old habits of distortion are gradually dissolved. back

How does a long distance session work?
Long-distance work can be quite powerful and effective. Some modalities can be performed as distance healing in absentia (without you present) and others require verbal feedback and require your presence over the phone. Modalities are intuitively selected based on your needs and desired result. In preparation for a distance session, you will need to send me an e-mail detailing relevant health history and your goals for the session. We will then agree upon a session time and determine if phone participation is required or not (this portion is generally handled via e-mail). If your session does not require phone contact, I recommend that you rest meditatively during the time of your session. This allows you to most fully benefit from the healing energies being sent your way. Follow up will include information received during your session including energetic assessments, interpretations and further recommendations. Follow up can be via phone or e-mail exchange, and I will accommodate your preference. back

Are you a Psychiatrist?
No, I am not. Energetic Healing is not a substitute for appropriate psychological and/or medical treatment. It is not a quick fix, but rather a healing process that could be seen as an adjunct therapy to assist you in coming into a holistic understanding of health and disease. back
