Quick Answers to the Most Common Questions

Good question! Energy medicine (energy healing, energy work etc.) is a branch of complementary medicine that focuses on the practitioner or healer using universal energy or prana (earth energy) as a mode of healing. It is the belief that the body attributes sickness and pain to a weakened life force due to trauma, injury, and everyday stress. Energy medicine assists in the promotion of a well-balanced and healthy flow of the energy systems such as the Hara, energy centers (chakras), meridians and bio-field (energy field or aura). Which in turn encourages calm, comfort, clarity and an overall sense of well-being on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.

The general technique in the practice of energy medicine is a hands-on treatment on or slightly above the body over these energy systems or the area of pain or discomfort.

I have been practicing energy medicine for 16 years. I am a Reiki Master and a Level 5 Healing Touch Practitioner. I have also studied the Hara and received education on various techniques that complement energy medicine to improve my knowledge and practice. Continuing my education is important to me. We are evolving beings. The more I broaden myself with new ideas and skillsets, the better I can be of service to the needs of my clients. After 16 years, I am still learning. I have volunteered for several agencies that provide energy medicine for people such as Lifespark an organization that provides energy treatment for cancer patients and survivors as well as their caregivers. The Healing Touch Clinic at Fort Carson, Colorado, this clinic provided energy treatments to soldiers, veterans and their dependents. (Sadly, this clinic is no longer in operation.)

From the start you and I will sit and complete a short intake, discussing your concerns and the reason for your visit. I will assess and discuss techniques I will use for your specific needs. Treatment will begin as I guide you into a relaxed state while you lay on a bedded massage table, fully clothed. You may fall asleep, if so, I will gently wake you at the end of treatment. Treatment consists of me, with your permission, gently laying my hands on the body or above. Some feel heat, cold, a tingly sensation, some feel nothing. This is all common. After treatment, we will discuss any questions you may have about the treatment and what was received. Together we will comprise any “homework” to continue uncovering and understanding of any insights that may have come to light during your session if needed.  

That depends on you! It may take one session to relax and clear your mind to make the important decisions that are waying heavy on you. Or it may take several for a deeper issue such as uncovering belief systems that interfere with a fulfilling life. In that scenario we would discuss whether further sessions are needed at a pace that is comfortable for you. Also, if you’re willing to do the “homework” outside of sessions, this will encourage healing and growth from the issue at hand. Otherwise, you determine what is best for you as you know yourself best.

Yes! A distance session is conducted in the same manner as an in-person session, minus the massage table of course, just over the phone or Zoom in a quiet, comfortable space in your home.
