Energetic healing is a holistic practice of clearing and balancing the flow of the vital life force in and around the body. This helps to restore the body's natural ability to heal, and moves one towards a greater sense of well-being.
This varies from person to person. People have described it as a cooling, warming, or tingling sensation. It has also been described as a pulsing sensation or "magnetic". One may feel an emotional release, the release of physical tension, or movement within the body. Some do not feel any physical sensations at all but rather, experience a state of deep relaxation or peace.
Before: You will have already filled out necessary paperwork (intake and consent form) prior to our meeting. We will begin with a brief conversation to set the tone of the session. You will then choose to either sit in a chair or lie down on the treatment table. I suggest lying down for longer sessions but it is all about your physical ability and comfort level.
During: While you rest comfortably, I will begin by scanning your energy field by passing my hands over your body. This guides me to know where to direct the energy. I will then continue to clear and balance your energetic system by moving my hands to different areas of your body. I conclude by grounding your energy and giving thanks for the work that has been done.
After: Once the session is completed, you will be given a few minutes to ease back into wakefulness. This is followed by a chance to discuss anything that might have come up during treatment. For optimal results, I recommend drinking plenty of water after the session. Also, gift yourself the time and space needed to integrate your experience and re-acclimate to your daily routine.
No, we will have a brief conversation before and after treatment. The treatment itself will be done without talking, aside from minor verbal cues (such as, "please turn over"). However, you may voice a need at any time such as wanting a bolster or blanket, or the need to adjust your position.
No, I generally practice a non-touch method, which allows me to feel the flow of energy with greater intensity. Thus, my hands are usually held four to ten inches away from the body. However, I do offer light touch if you feel it would be more beneficial to you.
You will remain fully clothed during the session. It is best to wear non-restrictive clothing that allows you to comfortably lie on the table or sit in a chair.
No, I offer distance and virtual healing sessions as well, which can be both convenient and very effective.
Yes, I offer Reiki for animals - both in-person and distance sessions. These sessions typically last 20-30 minutes.
Here, we practice deepening our knowledge and understanding of self. Unlike a standard energetic healing session, it combines energy work with heart-centered discussions and integrative activities such as journal writing; meditation; working with the elements, plants, language, imagery, etc. Though I may guide the session, your intuition and curiosity take center stage. I like to call it "playtime". Self discovery is not all about the shadow work, although it does has its place. We are here on Earth to learn, and to experience joy, beauty and wonder. When we enter into a deeper relationship with self, we become more centered, authentic, and empowered.
