What is Energy Medicine?
I assess the condition of the seven main energy centers that run along a vertical pathway aligned with your spine. These centers are known as chakras, swirling vortices of life-force energy that have a direct bearing on your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Chakra, a Sanskrit word, means spinning disk. Each one processes specific energies.
I sense the subtle energies through my hands. I also receive intuitive guidance in the form of images that reflect the energies and issues at play.
I channel natural, life-enhancing energy. It flows from the universal field through my energy pathways into your energy system anatomy. These energy forces are also known as prana, chi, reiki, or grace.
To help you move into a state of receptivity, I guide you through a progressively relaxing meditation, use chimes and crystal bowls, and play music designed to settle your brain waves into the relaxed states of alpha and theta. These are similar to falling asleep and waking -- that in between state of consciousness.

What is Energy Medicine?
Energy Medicine is the practice of balancing the energy that flows around and through the body, leaving you relaxed and grounded, with greater access to your own deepest wisdom.

What energies are “metabolized” by these chakras?
The first chakra reflects your sense of physical safety and security as well as family-of-origin issues. If you have problems with your feet or knees, are frequently sick, over or under-weight, suffer from IBS, are anxious, disorganized or fearful of change, your root chakra is likely out of balance. As safety, security and family issues are addressed, balance ensues; you begin to feel healthy, vital, grounded and secure.
Each of the remaining chakras reflects similar dynamics.
The second chakra (low belly) is your emotional identity; it resonates with your need for movement, pleasure, sexuality.
In the third chakra (solar plexus) we have our ego identity. This is where we come into our own, developing self-esteem, will power and pro-activity.
Our social identity is found in our fourth chakra (upper chest) where we experience love and relationship.
Our creative identity resonates in our fifth chakra (throat) where we express ourselves.
Our sixth chakra (forehead), our archetypal identity, contains our imagination, intuition and insight. This is where we recognize patterns.
Finally, in the seventh or crown chakra we have our universal identity, where we experience transcendent union with others and the divine.
Disruptions in the flow of energy running through these centers result in physical symptoms and may reflect unresolved psycho/emotional/spiritual issues.
How does energy therapy work?
How does energy therapy work?
Energy Medicine Practitioners are trained to assess the overall energy system. To do so, I place my hands over each chakra, sensing whether the energy flow is excessive, deficient, or blocked. I address each chakra by channeling calming, replenishing, or balancing energy -- whatever is needed. This brings your entire energy system into better balance. I may also peer into the levels of your field, also known as your aura, to discern what may be needed there as well.
Can you just treat my pain/stress/fatigue? I’m not comfortable sharing emotional issues.

Some clients enjoy hands-on healing for relief from pain or stress. Or maybe they want to to release physical tension and relax deeply. The Aromatouch Technique (see my Healing Menu) is perfect for this. So yes, you may come for deep relaxation or pain relief only.
Others clients are curious about the energetic origins of their physical symptoms. Knowing the emotional component of an illness or injury may lead to insights that enable you to release inherited beliefs that may no longer be true for you.
What can I expect if I make an appointment?
A typical session consists of conversation (about 30 minutes). Then I lightly place my hands on your feet, legs, abdomen, chest, neck and head while you rest, fully clothed, on a massage table (30-40 minutes). Unlike massage, I simply place my hands to channel energy.

If you are having back pain, you may rest face-down while I address the spine; otherwise, most sessions are done face-up on the table. Your job? Rest, listen to meditative music, and maybe drift off for a nap!
After the hands-on channeling, I provide energy feedback. This includes the condition of your chakras as well as intuitive information. You may receive a message from your higher self, affirmation of your deeper divine identity (your core essence) or comfort from a lost loved one. You may receive information that inspires you to make better choices or to take better care of yourself. Or you may receive a new perspective on an old issue.

In these ways, I interpret what your energetics are expressing. You feel validated, affirmed, and empowered.
Allow 90 - 120 minutes for your session.
Suppose I just want to talk?
Simply expressing your concerns to a compassionate witness is very healing. Deep listening allows me to tune into your essence, your soul presence. Receiving this kind of attention is extremely validating.
So, yes, we can just talk. My goal is to validate your experience and perhaps invite you to see where your perceptions, based on childhood wounding, may be inaccurate. Choosing beliefs that are truer than the ones you inherited can be liberating and empowering.
What do you mean by “healing”?
Healing is a process. All clients experience pain relief and deep relaxation in one session. Permanent relief involves integrating body, mind, spirit and emotions into a coherent, flowing whole. This is a process, but I can accelerate your progress along the healing continuum. Healing requires a commitment to examining what is no longer working for you and a willingness to embrace change, with my support, so that you may joyfully align with your purpose for this lifetime. (See The Energy Medicine Healing Process.)
It should also be noted that our troubling symptoms may part of our soul's agenda. You may not experience relief from chronic pain, for example, but you may learn coping strategies and mindfulness practices to assist you in managing your symptoms. There may be lessons to learn with a medical diagnosis; often, they often cause us to re-evaluate, re-prioritize and place ourselves first so that we may enjoy a healthier balance in our relationships to ourselves, others and work.
