Many people come to me seeking more than massage can offer--a deeper feeling of peace and harmony; renewed vitality in their life; support for grief or major life transitions; amplification of their creativity; relief from chronic pain; support during health crises; self-discover; healing from past traumas; or greater clarity, insight, and personal growth.

For these clients, if they are open to it, I do energy healing, either by itself or integrated into a hands-on bodywork session (which really, is energy work, too!).

Energy healing works with your energy--the part of you that you can't see or touch. This energy has been called by many names, including aura, electro-magnetic field, energy field, subtle energy, vital energy, life force, chi, qi, ki, and prana, We are pulsing with this life force. It animates us and is the foundation and template for our physical being. Though universal in nature, it takes a unique and beautiful form in each one of us.

During a Session
When I do energy work, I work with your energy system, including your field, your chakras, and other aspects of your energy anatomy. Often I work without touching your physical body (unless you have requested hands-on bodywork).

Before we begin our session, we will establish your intention. I will work to support that intention, as well as the more foundational goals of promoting the harmony, stability, balance, and flow of your energy.

I may talk to you about what I am sensing, or I may remain quiet (unless you ask me questions.)

Nearly all recipients feel a deep state of peace during a session. Some people can feel me working with their energy, while others feel nothing. Many of my clients have visual experiences or insights during their treatment. Some feel changes while on the table, while others may feel changes later (even days or weeks later). Whatever you feel or don't feel is normal and OK.

You can ask me questions while I work, if you like. I will do my best to put into words what I am sensing and doing.

If we are integrating energy healing with massage, I usually begin and end the session with "hands-off" work, devoting the middle part of the treatment to hands-on work, much of what feels to most people like traditional massage.

Benefits of Energy Work
Energy work does not operate on a medical model of fixing or curing "what's wrong." It works at a deeper level, more on the level of source than symptom. However, it often does have a clear impact on physical and emotional health and mental functioning.

Probably the most common, readily identifiable benefit is that it puts most people into a state of deep relaxation. This alone has powerful benefits for health--it allows the body, mind, and emotions to heal and restore themselves.

After a healing, people often feel grounded, "in their bodies," alert, and clear. Recipients usually feel more balanced and calm--lifted above the fray of day-to-day life.

While no reputable healer would promise you specific physical benefits, people often do find that they heal more quickly from illness and injury after having a healing. (I have certainly experienced this personally, and seen it happen for my clients.) Pain can also be reduced or relieved. (Ditto.)

Recipients often have insights into the underlying issues in their lives and relationships, and find that they are able to resolve problems more easily, or that their relationship to the problem changes. Many people find that they can manage stressful situations better. Many also find that they have more vitality and creative energy.

Noticeable benefits may happen immediately, or over a period of time.

What Energy Healing Is Not
Reputable energy work is not intended to replace conventional medical or psychological treatment. It is intended to be a complementary therapy. You should always continue to seek and follow the advice of your qualified medical or psychological practitioner.
