Energy Medicine

Take your wellness to the next level.

Classified by the National Institute of Health as a biofield therapy and nursing intervention, Healing Touch may be used to address the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA-1) diagnosis of “Imbalanced Energy Field.”

  • I have training in advanced healing techniques that have come from many years of practice, and formal education. I hold a Master Level in Reiki Energy Healing with training from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and a Level 4 Healing Touch certificate from Healing Beyond Borders.

    I offer a scope of energy healing that can be tailored to your personal needs from a clinical diagnosis to general stress relief. You can also try a session "just to see what it feels like".

    There are no contraindications for Energy Healing which makes it suitable for everyone regardless of current health, age or diagnosis.

  • What is Healing Touch? - Healing Beyond Borders

Energy medicine is a holistic approach that utilizes the body's subtle energy systems to promote healing and well-being. It encompasses various techniques, including Reiki, and Clinical Therapeutic Touch, all grounded in the idea that energy flows through and around our bodies, influencing physical, emotional, and mental health.

The benefits of energy medicine are numerous and can profoundly impact your overall health. Here are some key advantages:

  1. Stress Reduction: Energy medicine techniques help calm the nervous system, leading to reduced stress and anxiety levels. As you release tension, your body can repair and regenerate.

  2. Pain Management: Many have found relief from chronic pain through energy work, which can help alleviate tension and restore balance within the body.

  3. Enhanced Emotional Well-being: By addressing negative emotions and blockages, energy medicine can foster emotional resilience, helping you to feel more balanced and centered.

  4. Improved Immune Function: Energy healing practices can enhance immune response, promoting better health and helping you recover more quickly from illness.

  5. Greater Clarity and Focus: Energy medicine can help clear mental fog and improve cognitive function, aiding in better decision-making and creativity.

  6. Spiritual Growth: Engaging in energy work can deepen your connection to your inner self and enhance your spiritual journey, promoting a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

  7. Complementary Therapy: Energy medicine can be effectively integrated with conventional medical treatments, providing a comprehensive approach to healing and wellness.

Incorporating energy medicine into your wellness routine can empower you to take charge of your health, harmonizing your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being for a more vibrant life.

What can Energy Medicine do for me?

During an energy medicine session, you may experience a variety of sensations and emotional shifts.

Each person's experience is unique, but common feelings include:

  1. Relaxation: A profound sense of calm may wash over you, helping to release tension stored in both the body and mind.

  2. Warmth or Pulsation: You might feel warmth radiating from the practitioner’s hands or a pulsating energy in areas where energy is being released or balanced.

  3. Tingles or Prickling: A gentle tingling sensation can occur as energy pathways are activated and energy flows more freely.

  4. Emotional Releases: Energy work often brings buried emotions to the surface, which can lead to unexpected feelings of sadness, joy, or even laughter.

  5. Heightened Awareness: You may find yourself more in tune with your body, noticing sensations or areas of pain that you hadn't previously acknowledged.

  6. Visualizations or Imaginative Journeys: Some individuals experience vivid imagery or insights during a session, providing clarity or guidance about personal issues.

  7. Fatigue or Sleepiness: After the session, it's normal to feel tired as your body integrates the healing energy. This can signal a deep release and restoration process.

  8. Strength and Vitality: Conversely, you may leave feeling invigorated, with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.

Being open to whatever arises during the session can enhance your experience. Trust in the process, and allow yourself to feel whatever comes up without judgment.

During an energy session, your primary focus is to relax and be open to the experience. You may lie down or sit comfortably in a chair, depending on the type of session. It’s advisable to wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement. There’s no need for any specific attire; the goal is to feel at ease.

If you have medical issues, it’s important to communicate this with your energy practitioner beforehand. They can tailor the session to accommodate your needs, ensuring a safe experience. Energy work can complement traditional medical treatments, but it should not replace them. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about participating in energy sessions relevant to your medical condition.

Safety is a priority in energy sessions. Qualified practitioners are trained to create a supportive and secure environment, guiding you throughout the process. Trust your instincts; if something doesn’t feel right, you have the right to stop at any time. Remember, the objective is to promote relaxation, balance, and healing.
