How it Works
We meet for six weekend trainings, beginning in June and ending in November 2022. We gather in Longmeadow, MA on Saturdays from 9:30 am until about 3:30 pm and Sundays from 9:30 am until 1:30 pm.
These times are flexible depending on the distance people are travelling. The group will decide on any changes to the above hours.
The scheduled weekends are below. Some flexibility with these dates is possible. If you must miss a day or weekend (not encouraged) you may make it up the next time this training is offered, likely in 2023.
For my experience and credentials, please see About Me here on the blog where you'll find my resume. I'm a graduate of the Institute of Healing Arts and Sciences, with four years (over 700 hours) of comprehensive training in energy medicine, as well as internship experience at St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, CT and Hebrew Healthcare, Bloomfield, CT. I've been a practitioner in private practice for 15 years.

My training and experience put me in the forefront of the field of energy work.
The relationships I've enjoyed with my clients have been a great blessing. I am continually awed by the healing process.
What Can I Expect?
Energy Medicine is both an art and a science.
Introduction to the science includes learning about your seven main energy centers, also known as chakras -- swirling vortices of life-force energy that run along the spine. We delve into the energies processed through each one and what may affect flow throughout your "energy anatomy."
The science also includes W.I.S.E (Wholistic Integrated Spiritual Energy) Method healing techniques used to assess and balance the chakras and the overall energy system.
You'll learn the following in year one:
- Synchronizing Brain Function
- Full Body Energy Balance
- Spinal Cleanse and Strengthening
- Hormonal Balance
- Adrenal Balance
- Hara Alignment
We'll cover when to use these techniques, their purpose, and the specific steps for each one. We practice giving and receiving these healings in a supportive, encouraging environment.
In addition to receiving instructions for placing hands on the body, we open to the art of sensing subtle energy using your higher sense perception. We are all born with natural intuitive abilities but they often go dormant as we are raised to value the physical world and what can be proven by logic and reason. You'll begin to recover your inborn knowing, your ability to perceive beyond the five physical senses.
Another aspect of energy work (both art and science are at play here) is identifying five defensive patterns that arise from how we were raised. The Energetic Body Types reflect how we hold energy in the body. They are like suits of energetic armor we adopt over time to protect ourselves from further wounding. The body types include the Creator, Lover, Supporter (Healer, Teacher), Achiever and Challenger (Leader). Which one are you? (Hint: You have elements of each one.)
Saturdays are devoted to chakra dynamics and learning/practicing healing techniques. On Sundays we cover the Energetic Body Types (related to the energy center discussed the day before) and practice the previous day's healing. (See sample agendas below.)
I often (half) joke that my training in energy medicine was 50% learning healing techniques and 50% group therapy! We will not be engaging in psychotherapy, as this is beyond the scope of my expertise. If you would like support in this area, I am happy to refer you to professionals with the proper credentials.
We meet at Blue Heron Healing (my home) in Longmeadow, MA. The atmosphere is relaxed, with respect for the nature of the work. Wear comfortable clothing. If you have a favorite meditation cushion, bring it along. You may also want a notebook and your journal. Binder and printed materials are provided. For further information about energy bodywork, see About Me/What is Energy Medicine on the home page.
