What is Energy Medicine & Who can Benefit?  

We are all aware of energy running through our bodies and around us.  We say things like, “I have no energy today”  “That really revved me up!”  “I got bad vibes from him”  “It felt like she was invading my space”.   Likewise, we all have innate intuitive abilities.  We comment, “I was just thinking about her out of the blue, and then I ran into her on the street!”  “I had a feeling that would happen.”  Energy medicine, also called vibrational medicine, is the study of the energy making up the human body, mind and spirit, and the directing of universal life-force energy in a therapeutic manner.  The human energy system is a network of interacting, multidimensional energies composing our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical selves.  If these interrelated energies become imbalanced, there may be resulting physical or emotional challenges.  An energy medicine practitioner assesses and facilitates the rebalancing of an individual’s energy system to promote optimal holistic health.  There are many methods of, and terms for, balancing the human energy system, such as Reiki, Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Touch for Health, acupuncture, other guided hands-on healing techniques, etc.  In addition, there are many complementary vibrational modalities that are employed by an energy medicine therapist, including flower essences, essential oils, color therapy, sound therapy, and guided meditation.

As an energy medicine practitioner, I assess and balance the energy systems of both adults and children using intuitive guidance and “hands-on” healing techniques.  I work with clients experiencing virtually any physical, mental, or emotional disease or ailment, as well as those desiring “wellness” visits in order to gain insight into current life situations or to enhance their current state of health.

Energy sessions for adults may consist of table work only, or both table work and discussion.  During the table work portion, a client lies fully-clothed on a massage table and I “scan” the client’s energy field by holding my hands, which are very sensitive to subtle-energy flows and imbalances, a few inches above the body.  I often receive, via intuitive guidance, possible emotional or mental patterns in the energy field related to the disharmonious energy flow.  Intuitive guidance allows me to connect deeply into the client’s energy field in order to become aware of stored experiences or “frozen energy” which may represent physical or emotional pain creating imbalance.  I then allow specific life-force energy to move through my hands, held and directed in various ways above or near the client’s body, providing a healing energy field for the client to more easily rebalance his/her energy.

The discussion portion of the session may include discussing identified energy blocks or current life challenges, verbal/emotional releases, guided meditations, recommendations of other vibrational modalities, or other intuitive insights.  Following an energy treatment, the client may experience a feeling of relaxation, increased energy, emotional release, or an improved sense of well-being.  I also co-treat with many HeartLight practitioners as an adjunct therapy; this may be a good choice for clients who wish to enhance other types of treatment or to view their current state of health from a different, energetic perspective.

As a mother of three children including a special needs child, I have a particular sensitivity and interest in working with children who have developmental differences, although I also work with many “typical” children as well.  I have experience working with children who exhibit a wide variety of special needs diagnoses, physical conditions, and emotional challenges.  An energy session for a child usually consists of table work as described above, although I can also perform the hands-on energy balancing while the child is in a parent’s lap, playing on the floor, or moving about the room, and discuss my work and findings with the parent after the session.
