What is Energy Healing?

Embodying Transformation through the Power of Energy Healing

If you've been hearing about energy healing and found yourself wondering what it is and how it works, you're not alone. It’s becoming more of a buzz these days as more research and case studies have been published. Energy healing is an alternative, holistic healing practice that sounds a bit mysterious at first, but it's actually been around for thousands of years in various forms across different cultures. And today, energy healing has evolved to include a rich blend of modalities that work together to support your whole being - mind, body, and spirit, for holistic health and wellness.

The Basic Idea Behind Energy Work

Energy healing is based on the concept that we all have an energy field (sometimes called our life force, chi, prana, or biofield) that flows through and around our bodies. This energy moves through pathways and energy centers, referred to as chakras in certain traditions. When this energy is balanced and flowing freely, we tend to feel healthier and more vibrant. When it gets blocked or imbalanced, that's when we might experience physical discomfort, emotional struggles, or just feel "off."

Think of it like a river. When water flows smoothly, everything downstream thrives. But when there's a dam or blockage, things get stagnant. As an intuitive holistic healing facilitator, I help identify and clear those blockages so your natural energy can flow more freely.

A Comprehensive Approach to Healing

In my practice, I've found that the most profound healing happens when we integrate multiple modalities rather than relying on just one approach. Each person is unique, and what you need might be different from one session to the next. That's why I draw from a variety of healing techniques to create a truly personalized experience.

This might include pranic healing to help release stored tension and trauma, mindfulness practices to bring you into the present moment, and somatic experiencing to help your body process and release what it's been holding onto. Some sessions incorporate intuitive guidance to help you to gain clarity and move forward, or hypnosis (guided meditation/visualization) to create lasting change.

I also work with inner child healing to address old wounds and patterns that might be affecting you, as an adult, today, and I channel Light language - a form of energetic communication through frequency that works on a soul level. The beauty of this integrated approach is that each session unfolds based on exactly what you need in that moment.

What Happens in an Energy Healing Session?

Most energy healing practioners, including myself, offer both in-person and remote sessions. Because energy is not bound by time and space, sessions are just as effective at a distance as they are face-to-face. Energy work can be received while sitting or reclining and is performed with clients fully clothed. If receiving remote healing, it is best to be in a quiet, distraction-free space.

Although I work intuitively, my sessions are strctured containers for transformation to occur. We begin by checking in with what is present for you, followed by grounding and centering, healing work, completing with integration, processing and next steps.

I don't fix you. I facilitate YOUR innate power to heal. When we work together, I'm in complete flow—channeling, connecting to your energy, and creating the container for your transformation.

Some people report feeling warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or a sense of lightness during a session. Others don't feel much of anything in the moment but notice shifts afterward - maybe they sleep better that night, or a nagging worry suddenly feels less heavy.

What Can Energy Healing Help With?

People come to this work for all sorts of reasons, and I'm honored to support them on their healing journeys from wherever they are at. Some of the benefits include:

Physical wellness: Many seek out energy work for pain management, chronic pain relief, faster recovery from illness or injury, and supporting their overall vitality.

Mental and emotional health: This work can be incredibly supportive for stress relief, feelings of anxiety and depression, emotional trauma, inner child healing, and finding a sense of inner peace and clarity.

Personal growth and spiritual awakening: Energy healing supports you in breaking old patterns, gaining self-awareness, connecting with your intuition, and stepping into the life you truly want to live. Many people also seek support during times of spiritual awakening, when life can feel particularly intense or confusing.

It's important to note that energy healing isn't meant to replace conventional medical care. If you have a health concern, you should definitely see a doctor. But many people find this work to be a valuable form of alternative medicine or complementary therapy to use alongside whatever else they're doing for their physical and mental health.

What to Expect at Your First Energy Healing Session

Many energy healing practioners offer complimentary connection or consultation calls. This is a good idea for you to “feel” out the energy of the practioner, ask questions regarding their work, and to determine if working with them is the right next step for you on your journey.

In essence, there's no special preparation needed. Just come as you are, wearing comfortable clothes. If you're doing a remote session, find a quiet, disstraction-free space to sit or recline - headphones recommended. If in-person, refrain from wearing heavy (or any) jewelry, perfumes or scents.

There's no "right" way to receive this work. You remain completely in control. With your energy healing practioner, you’ll work together at a pace that feels gentle and supportive. Everyone's experience is different, as everyone has their own unique path and needs.

After the session, some people feel immediately lighter or more peaceful. Others notice subtle shifts over the next few days.

Supporting You Through Spiritual Awakening

If you're going through a spiritual awakening or think you might be, you may be experiencing some intense and confusing shifts - things like heightened sensitivity, changing relationships, questioning everything you once believed, or feeling like you don't quite fit in your old life anymore. This can be an incredibly disorienting time, and it helps to have support from someone who understands what you're moving through.

I personally work with many clients who are navigating spiritual awakening, helping them make sense of their experiences, grounding their energy, and integrating these profound changes in a way that feels manageable and empowering. Many who come to energy healing work open up to awakening their unique spiritual gifts and folowing the call of their soul’s purpose.

How I Can Support Your Journey

My approach to healing is rooted in the belief that you already have everything you need within you - sometimes you just need support in accessing it. Whether you're dealing with physical pain, emotional wounds, old patterns that no longer serve you, or you're simply ready for deeper personal growth or spiritual growth, I'm here to hold space for your healing and transformation.

Every session is tailored to you. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all healing, which is why I've trained in multiple modalities. This allows me to adapt to what you need in each moment, creating a safe and nurturing environment for your healing journey.

If you're curious about energy healing or ready to experience it for yourself, I'd be honored to work with you. My integrated approach to healing offers a gentle yet powerful way to support your body's natural healing abilities and your soul's journey toward wholeness.
