About Energy Work
Everything is made of energy. For thousands of years, shamans and healers have understood how energy flows through the body and how it impacts physical and emotional well-being. This energy has been called many names, including prana, life force, chi, chakras, and aura.
Healers knew intuitively that when this energy became blocked or stagnant, it could lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalance—resulting in dis-ease. By clearing these blockages using various techniques, they helped restore the body’s natural balance, promoting healing. Today, we call this Energy Work.
Energy work practitioners—often referred to as healers, shamans, energy medicine practitioners, or energy workers—use different techniques to identify and clear energy blockages. This process, known as balancing, allows energy to flow freely again, supporting the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Energy work is non-invasive and addresses the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. During a session, clients remain fully clothed while lying on a massage table. The practitioner gently places their hands on or near the body to help facilitate energy flow.
To help you understand what energy work is (and isn’t), I wrote Following Body Wisdom: How Energy Work Can Help Heal (2009). This book explains energy work principles, what to expect in a session, and how clients have experienced profound transformations. It’s available on my website, Amazon, and Indigo.
One client once told me:
“I don’t know what you do, and I don’t care because it’s helping. I feel better. I don’t need a scientist to tell me what works for me.”
Energy work does not replace traditional medicine, nor is it a cure-all. However, it is a valuable complementary practice that can assist in helping you on your journey to health and well-being.

Appointment Options
All appointments are now booked online through the Jane app.
When booking appointments, there are three different treatment options:
- Virtual:
All first-time appointments are Virtual and last for one hour. If you wish to use your phone or tablet you will need to download the free Jane App to your device. The Jane app works best with the browser Chrome. After your first appointment has been booked and confirmed you will receive an email confirmation of your appointment along with instructions to fill out a Client History and Consent form. One hour before your appointment begins you will receive an email from the Jane app with a link to your virtual appointment. You don’t need to download any additional tech as the link connects you automatically to your virtual appointment. Please be sure to add my email address to your contact list to ensure you receive communication from my office regarding your account.
- Phone Consult:
Call the office at the scheduled time and we do a distance session together over the telephone. At the appointed time, let the phone ring about three times; if the office does not pick up, hang up, wait 2 min. and call again (we are on another call).
- Distance:
If you live far away or simply are not available to come in, I work on you energetically at the appointed time and contact you by phone or email later that day to discuss what came up during your session. If you would like to have anything in particular addressed, please call or email the office before your designated time and leave a message with my staff. Clients that request distance appointments are asked to not drive or operate equipment during the scheduled time.
If you choose the distance call option, we ask that you be sitting or lying down in a quiet location during the session. Also, ensure that you will not be disturbed. Please be prepared to focus and do not eat, watch TV or use a computer during the session.

We will maintain your privacy in accordance with legislated requirements. From time to time, case histories may be presented in lectures or written material. All personal identifying information such as name, address, telephone number, and date of birth is excluded.
