“Energy work” or “Energy Therapy” can mean a lot of things, as energy can be moved in a number of ways. There are endless techniques to move energy, from Quantum healing to Massage Therapy, from Somatic Movement to Reiki, I could go on as the examples are endless. I have been certified as a Reiki practitioner and I receive Reiki as a part of my own personal journey, although with Reiki (any many other techniques) we may begin to believe that we need “work” done for or to us, rather than learning that we are our own healers.

Healing occurs when we are receptive and open to receive. It is our individual systems that align to heal, it is not the practitioner’s “work” done to us, although that may be helpful. That is why sometimes you may feel like an energy session “worked” of didn’t “work”. It is not always about the practitioner, it is about your system being receptive to healing.

The Energy Therapy Technique is unique in that I am your guide, I hold space for you, and ask you questions that lead you into your subconscious and then you are the one that does the work, creates the healing. The technique allows you to learn skills that you can use moving forward in your own practices that allow you to continue releasing and clearing energy. You are your own healer.

Each session is 2 hours, allowing us to settle in deeply. It begins with calling attention to an “issue” in your life, something that may feel stuck or challenging that you would like to bring a little more energy to help move it through. It is called a “therapy technique” in part because we have a therapeutic exchange of words as we bring the energy of the “issue” into the room. After engaging in specific questioning the remainder of the session is conducted in a meditative state. In this internal state, I will continue to guide you. You will remain conscious although we will be accessing your subconscious. The subconscious is a powerful aspect of the brain that controls our behaviors and how we perceive our lives and the world around us. Creating change in the subconscious creates meaningful and sustainable changes in our lives.
