What is Energy Healing?
Your Guide to Holistic Healing and Transformative Wellness
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.
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 breathwork 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 coaching elements to help you to gain clarity and move forward, or hypnosis techniques to access your subconscious mind and create lasting change.
I also work with inner child healing to address old wounds and patterns that might be affecting you 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 a 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, distration-free space.
In my sessions, I typically begin by talking about what's going on in your life and what you're hoping to address. From there, the session unfolds organically and intuitively, based on what you need. We might do some breathwork together, move through guided visualization, or you might simply rest while I work with your energy field. Some people report feeling warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation 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:
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, anxiety, 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 Session
If you're new to energy work, it's totally normal to feel a bit uncertain about what to expect. In essence, there's no special preparation needed. Just come as you are, wearing comfortable clothes if you're coming in person. If we're doing a remote session, find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.
During the session, I'll guide you through whatever practices feel right for you that day. There's no "right" way to receive this work. You remain completely in control and together we work at a pace that feels gentle and supportive. Everyone's experience is different, and I'll meet you exactly where you are.
After the session, some people feel immediately lighter or more peaceful. Others notice subtle shifts over the next few days. I always recommend drinking plenty of water afterward and giving yourself some quiet time if you can.
Supporting You Through Spiritual Awakening
If you're going through a spiritual awakening, you might 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 work with many clients who are navigating spiritual awakening, helping them make sense of their experiences, ground their energy, and integrate these profound changes in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
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, 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.
With love,
