Energy Healing for Grief

The body in mourning, and why it needs tending too. Grief is not only a psychological event. This is something medicine has known for a long time and culture has been slower to accept.

What Your Nervous System Actually Does on the Table

Parasympathetic shift, vagal tone, and why "doing nothing" is doing a lot. People sometimes apologize after a session. They fell asleep, or they cried, or they didn't feel much and wonder if they failed at relaxing. I want to say, to everyone who has ever done this: there's nothing to apologize f... Read More

Energy Healing for Sleep

When the nervous system has forgotten how to land. Sleep problems rarely arrive alone. They tend to show up alongside something else - a period of high stress, a loss, a body in pain, a mind that won't stop running its loops. The insomnia is often the symptom.

But the specific practice I'm trained in - the one I do in sessions - is called Healing Touc... Read More

How to Prepare for Your First Session

A short, warm pre-arrival guide — there's less to do than you think. People often ask me how they should prepare for their first session, and the honest answer is not very much, and not in any particular way. You don't need to read up on energy healing. You don't need to figure out what's wrong b... Read More

What to Expect During a Session

A little walk-through, if you've never done this before. The most common note I get from someone before their first session is some version of: I'm curious, but I have no idea what I'm walking into. Fair. Energy healing isn't on most people's mental shelf next to massage or therapy, even though i... Read More

What is Energy Healing?

A high-level look at the practice — for the curious and the skeptical. "Energy healing" is one of those terms that means very different things depending on who's saying it. For some people, it conjures crystals and chakras and a particular kind of incense. For others, it sounds like marketing dre... Read More
