About Energy Work
Everything is made of energy. For thousands of years, shamans and healers have known about its existence, how it flowed around the body and what an impact it could have on the physical and emotional well being of a person. This energy flow has been described using a variety of names such as prana, life force, chi, chakras, and aura.
Healers and shamans knew intuitively that if this energy flow somehow became blocked or stagnant, it could create physical, emotional or spiritual un-wellness or dis-ease in the body. Clearing the blocked energy, using various techniques, allowed the body to do what it does naturally – return to balance which resulted in healing or wellness for the client. Today we call this “Energy Work”.
Practitioners of energy work are now referred to as healers, shamans, energy medicine practitioners or energy workers, just to name a few. They use various techniques to find where the energy of the body is blocked and then clear it thereby allowing the body energy to flow freely and rebalance. This is referred to in energy work as “balancing”. Balancing the energy field helps create healing.
Energy Work is not invasive, and works with the entire body – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Clients lie on a massage table, fully clothed. The body is gently touched with the practitioner’s hands. If you would like to know more, please watch the video of an energy session posted here.
It is understandable if you are skeptical about energy work and its effectiveness. Clients often remark, “How could something so simple, be so effective, so quickly?” That’s all right. I encourage you to be skeptical. Ask questions and be curious. It all helps to make you a more informed consumer.
To help you understand what energy work is and is not, I wrote Following Body Wisdom: How Energy Work Can Help Heal (2009). It is available on my website, Amazon and Indigo. This comprehensive book explains the principles of energy work, what to expect in a session and what to expect after the session is over. The book also includes the personal stories of clients who have undergone major shifts in their lives as a result of receiving energy work. Each client has graciously agreed to share their personal experiences so that others could understand the power and effectiveness of this work.
A client once said to me: “I don’t know what you do, and I don’t care because it’s helping and I feel better. I don’t need a scientist to tell me what works for me.” Energy Work does not replace traditional medicine; it is not the be all and end all. However, it is a modality that can help.

Important Appointment Information
Appointment Options
When booking appointments, there are three different treatment options:
1) Distance
2) Distance Call
3) Zoom
Please inform us which treatment option you would like when booking your appointment(s), and please note a first appointment will be 45 minutes to one hour and each subsequent appointment will be anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes, depending on what the body can handle during the session.
- 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.
- Distance Call. This is another option. 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 5 min. and call again (we are on another call).
If you choose the distance call option we ask that you be sitting or lying down in a quiet location during the session. Have Kleenex, water, pen & paper handy. 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.
- Zoom. This is another option. Call the office and book an appointment time. Request that the session be held over Zoom. On the day of your booked appointment, you will receive a Zoom invitation link in your email box. Click on the link and wait to be admitted into the session.
If you do not currently have the Zoom app on your computer. The day before you appointment

Energy work may bring on a “clearing”, where symptoms sometimes reappear before they are released. This may happen within 1-2 days; do not be alarmed. Be gentle with yourself. If you would like to know more about Energy Work, read “Following Body Wisdom: How Energy Work Helps Heal”.
All methods of treatment are equally effective. There is no obligation as to which method you choose or how often you come. I am here to assist you on your healing journey.
