Sessions held by phone/video. Remote healing works ideally - energy has no physical limitations - and allows you to be in a familiar place during and after the session. You can remain in the calmer state that good energy work creates and not have to drive. Great for kids and animals.
I am a bioenergetics practitioner, a form of therapeutic work that connects to cellular and organ function and affects healing potential at a deep and organic level. Imagine combining the benefits of acupuncture (with no needles), bodywork, and mindfulness in one session where you sit quietly at home. The backbone of my gift is that I work in partnership with the body, which really appreciates being heard and directs me to the most beneficial ways to help. I connect in the same way I communicate with animals, the body consciousness functions in an almost identical manner (why children are so animalistic when young and so responsive to energy work, their brain hasn't developed to where it questions and blocks the natural process).
My fundamental belief is that the body knows more about itself than anyone else (including doctors, who will never get ahead of the curve on the mysteries and complexity of the body). It has amazing abilities to heal if we work in partnership, listen and respect what it needs us to know. In some ways my work is the "actualization" of placebo, which science has studied and acknowledges is real and reproducible. Harvard studied placebo and morphine and discovered not only did patients get morphine level relief from placebo, they exhibited cellular changes consistent with having been given the drug. Meditation is another proven form of placebo (mind over matter) that has become mainstream. So why is the concept of placebo (which is far more powerful than how we currently frame it) marginalized instead of used fruitfully? I presume because it can't be monetized and the system doesn't promote personal healing empowerment beyond some basics. There is mounting evidence that our general level of health is poor, we live longer but too often it is tied to taking lots of pharma drugs (which affect body, mind and spirit) and not having good quality of life. We all have family and friends in this predicament, not knowing what to do but go to another doctor and get more tests and pharma and knowing it isn't moving in the right direction.
I come from a background in western medicine (I'm a doctor's daughter) and have a Masters in Public Health. I have always been highly intuitive and medically empathic, and while I always appreciated natural substances over pharma (they don't agree with everyone), I wanted to stay in the more mainstream lane. But my personal health experience showed me that medicine cannot address and heal autoimmune and toxicity syndromes, it just isn't in the playbook. The personal price I paid for staying in that system was high, and after 30 years going down the tubes I was frighteningly closer to disability than health. Thyroid disease is very complex and replacement thyroid does not fix it, merely tamps down the symptoms so the deeper problems can continue to do their dirty work. I decided to save my own life, I figured I couldn't do worse than the docs at that point, and decided to stop seeing doctors. It was a scary decision though at that point I didn't have much to lose (literally, by then I was rail thin), and within 3 years I was a transformed person who no longer took thyroid replacement and had a functioning system with energy and a clearing mind. Bioenergetics as a healing framework was a big part of what helped me come back to my health and life. I know what chronic ill health feels like, and I'm not a fan of suffering.
Energetics is still looked at skeptically - early in my work life acupuncture was considered questionable, although it had served others well for thousands of years. Now insurance pays for it and other helpful modalities are considered questionable. It takes 30 years (give or take according to studies) for medicine to move and change and accept new things. At Stanford Hospital, where I worked, they saw the future of alternative medicine becoming mainstream and buried it in the basement until it was ready for prime time (where it resided with the beginnings of radiation therapy, which also began during my tenure and was pretty "out there" at the time).
The body is far more brilliant than the most scientific mind. It has its own consciousness and wisdom of the specific order to do things to aid in healing a problem, the foods it needs as medicine (and what it does not want), and the most beneficial potency and dosage of supplements for healing. Through bioenergy testing (a form of muscle testing) I can translate what a body needs and in what order - diet and nutrition improvement, gut biome healing, reconnecting minerals and neurotransmitters (so you have focus during the day and can sleep at night), improving detoxification pathways and lessening inflammation, and more. My work has been mastering the art of body whispering, using vibrational energy to help the body create a more balanced, relaxed, and cohesive state. For pre-verbal, non-verbal, young children, and animals it is a way to communicate and be understood that is non-invasive and connects to their natural instincts.
Autoimmune syndromes and gut-brain issues are expressions of fundamental cellular toxicity - important chemical processes (like neurotransmitters) malfunction and brains can't focus, we have inflammation everywhere (including the brain), we are not well. Remodeling the gut biome (the terrain) improves biochemical balance and can lessen anxiety and physical tension, improve cellular, digestive, brain and metabolic functions, and illuminate longstanding issues. In my work I can literally feel the vagus and cranial nerve"highway" between the gut and brain connecting when the stage is set (it feels like someone turned on a light switch and it is very powerful to experience, as it means the gut and brain can finally work together).
The gut is becoming more understood as ground zero for health; a disrupted gut means a compromised brain as they are directly connected. It is a foundational place to start any healing journey. When the body is cleared of toxicity and is working properly, a clean, balanced diet and occasional supplement support is all we need. With biochemical balance we achieve true well-being, our physical body feels energetic and open, our spirit is grounded and we feel like our true self. We function better in all aspects of life - family, work, hobbies, community.
