Energy Work is the real focal point of sessions, which begin with Intuitive Counseling to first explore what the conscious mind is aware of, what the nature of the problem/challenge/limitation is, and what the focus or intention is for the energy work.  

I incorporate many different energy work modalities, and try not to get too hung up on the labels of what that is.  Some may know of Reiki, as one frame of reference for what I do.  That's sometimes a part of it.  Other times it's Qigong.  But these are all just systemic labels for the concept that energy is fluid in nature and can be moved and adjusted with focused attention. 

Energy becomes stuck and compressed - often in the physical body, being the slowest-moving, and therefore "stickiest" part of our field - as imbalance in specific areas of the body, typically beginning as a reaction to an experience, looping and repeating itself like a broken record, and serving as a dumping point for reactions to similar experiences in the future.  That compression and compounding starts to manifest as symptoms that we recognize as pain, stiffness, immobility, anxiety, depression, and in myriad other forms of dysfunction and disorder. 

Along with focused attention and intention, I use both hands healing and a variety of different tools - tuning forks, singing bowls, light, different types of smoke, crystals - to redistribute stuck and imbalanced energy away from the areas of blockage and into a new role.  

It's a great paradox that the people with the most chronic pain often also have the highest levels of exhaustion.  The paradox is that they have so much energy available; it's just being misused, misplaced, misdirected, causing heaviness and disorder instead of being available for lighter and more productive levels of performance.  The goal of energy work isn't to "get rid of" anything; it's to free up stuck energy and make it available for new functions.

Most people get off the massage table after energy work and feel a little bit "high" for a few minutes, and then notice how much lighter they feel.  The actual emotional and cognitive processing of what happens during energy work often takes days, weeks or months to realize.  

​

After energy work, we go over notes together from the session and talk through each clearing, what the story behind it was, and how to work with the clearing and the availability of the new energy going forward.  It's my goal to help you feel empowered with information, not just have someone wave hands over you for thirty minutes and then send you on your way without any conscious-level awareness of what happened.  When the conscious mind and the energy body both know what's going on, when they're on the same page ... that's when real change can happen.  So I always make sure your conscious mind gets all the updates on what happened while you were on the table.  This way integration of the energy work becomes real, embedded, and drives change you can see, feel and experience in your day to day life.
