FAQs about Energy Healing
What is energy healing and how does it work?
Energy healing works with your body's natural energy system to restore balance and promote wellbeing. Just as your body has physical systems (circulatory, nervous, digestive), you also have an energy system that can become blocked or imbalanced due to stress, trauma, illness or life challenges. Through gentle, focused techniques, this work can clear these blockages and restore your natural flow. Many clients describe feeling lighter, more centered, and reconnected to their inner strength after sessions.
I've never done energy work before - what if I don't feel anything?
People experience energy work in different ways. Some feel warmth, tingling, or waves of relaxation. Others experience emotional releases, insights, or simply a deep sense of peace. Some don't feel much during the session but notice shifts in the days following - better sleep, reduced pain, clearer thinking, or emotional lightness. There's no "right" way to experience energy healing. Your body knows how to receive what it needs, and the work is effective whether you feel dramatic sensations or subtle changes.
Do I need to believe in energy healing for it to work?
No. While an open mind is helpful, belief isn't required. Energy healing works with your body's natural systems, much like physical therapy or massage works whether you understand the mechanisms or not. I've worked successfully with many skeptical clients who came with curiosity rather than certainty. What matters most is your willingness to show up and be present during our sessions.
How is distance/remote healing possible?
Energy isn't limited by physical distance - it works across space in ways that quantum physics is beginning to explain. Think of how your cell phone connects you to someone across the world, or how you can "feel" when a loved one is thinking of you. Distance healing operates on similar principles. In my 15 years of practice, I've found that distance sessions are just as powerful as in-person work. Many clients actually prefer them because they can relax in their own comfortable space.
What's the difference between energy healing and therapy or counseling?
Energy healing and traditional therapy complement each other beautifully but work differently. Therapy primarily addresses thoughts, emotions and behaviors through conversation and cognitive approaches. Energy healing works directly with your body's energy system to release blocks and restore balance at a foundational level. Many clients find that energy work helps them process issues more easily in therapy, or provides relief when talk therapy alone hasn't fully resolved their challenges. I always encourage clients to continue with any mental health support they're receiving.
About Sessions
What should I expect in my first session?
Your first session begins with conversation. I'll ask about what brought you here, what you're experiencing, and what you hope to address. This helps me understand your unique situation and tailor the session to your needs. Then you'll find a comfortable place to lie down or recline while we remain connected via Zoom or phone. During the energy work portion (about 30 minutes), you simply relax and receive. If on zoom, we both will turn off video and microphone. If on a call, we’ll both mute our phones. In the final 10 minutes, we'll discuss your experience, any insights that emerged and practices to support your continued healing.
How should I prepare for my session?
Find a quiet, comfortable space in your home where you won't be interrupted for the full hour. Have water nearby to drink after the session. Wear comfortable clothing. Turn off notifications on your devices. That's really all you need! Some clients like to have a blanket, pillows, or even lie on their bed. Create whatever environment feels most relaxing and safe for you.
What do I need for a distance session (Zoom vs. phone)?
For Zoom sessions, you'll need a device with internet connection and the Zoom app installed. Position your device where you can see and hear me comfortably during our opening conversation. For phone sessions, simply have your phone handy. Either method works equally well for the energy healing itself - choose whatever feels most comfortable for you. During the energy work portion, you'll lie down or recline, so you don't need to be looking at a screen.
How long are sessions and how are they structured?
All sessions are 60 minutes and follow this general structure:
First 20 minutes: Discussion about your needs, intentions and any questions
Next 30 minutes: Guided energy healing work while you relax
Final 10 minutes: Integration, sharing insights, and discussing practices for ongoing support
The exact timing may flex slightly based on what emerges during our session, but you can count on the full hour.
How will I feel after a session?
Most clients feel deeply relaxed, grounded, and peaceful after sessions - similar to how you might feel after a massage or meditation. Some experience immediate relief from physical discomfort or emotional heaviness. Others notice changes unfolding over the next few days: better sleep, increased energy, clearer thinking or emotional shifts. Occasionally, clients experience what I call a "healing response" - temporary tiredness, emotional release or old symptoms briefly surfacing as they clear. This is normal and typically passes within 24 hours. I'm always available to support you if questions arise.
Practical Questions
How do I know if energy healing is right for me?
Energy healing may be right for you if:
You're feeling depleted, disconnected or "off" and can't quite pinpoint why
You're experiencing persistent fatigue, trouble sleeping or emotional overwhelm
Traditional approaches haven't brought lasting relief for chronic conditions
You're going through a major life transition (grief, divorce, career change, illness)
You feel stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift
Your goals feel blocked despite your best efforts
You're simply curious about addressing your wellbeing from an energetic perspective

Can energy healing help with anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, or grief?
Energy healing can be supportive for all of these conditions, though I'm careful not to promise specific outcomes as everyone's healing journey is unique. Many clients have found relief from:
Anxiety and stress-related symptoms
Chronic pain and physical tension
Sleep difficulties
Grief and emotional processing
Fatigue and low energy
Feeling stuck or blocked in life
Energy healing works as a complement to, not a replacement for, medical care. I always recommend maintaining your relationship with your healthcare providers while we work together. Think of energy healing as another tool in your wellness toolkit.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies greatly depending on your situation, goals and how your body responds. Some clients experience significant shifts after just one session and return periodically as needed. Others find that a series of sessions allows for deeper, more lasting transformation.
For chronic or complex issues, I typically recommend the Six Session Healing Plan. This allows us to work with different layers of your energy system, creating more sustainable change. We can always reassess after your first session and create a plan that feels right for you.
What's the difference between a single session and the six-session plan?
A Single Session ($150) is perfect for:
Experiencing energy healing for the first time
Addressing an immediate need or acute situation
Periodic "tune-ups" when you need energetic support
The Six Session Healing Plan ($750, save $150) is designed for:
Deeper, lasting transformation
Addressing chronic conditions or long-standing patterns
Working through different layers of your energy system
Building sustainable practices for ongoing wellness
Energy healing works cumulatively - each session builds on the previous one. The six-session journey follows natural phases: Foundation (clearing and stabilizing), Exploration (identifying root patterns), Realignment (shifting persistent patterns), and Integration (solidifying changes). Sessions can be scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly based on your needs and pace.
What's your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
I understand that life happens and schedules change. Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session. This allows me to offer the time to another client. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will be charged the full session fee. Emergency situations are handled on a case-by-case basis with compassion and flexibility.
For the Six Session Healing Plan, your package is valid for six months from your first session, giving you plenty of flexibility to schedule at a pace that works for you.
For the Curious or Skeptical
I'm skeptical but curious - how should I approach this?
Your skepticism is welcome! In fact, many of my clients started out skeptical. I appreciate people who think critically and want to understand how things work.
The best approach is to come with curiosity rather than certainty. You don't need to believe in energy healing - you just need to be willing to experience it and notice what happens. Start with a single session or a free 15-minute discovery call where we can discuss your specific concerns and questions.
What if I don't experience any changes?
While most clients notice shifts either immediately or within a few days, everyone's healing journey and timeline is unique. Some changes are subtle and unfold over time. Some happen at levels you might not consciously register right away.
If you don't notice changes after your first session, I encourage open communication. We can adjust our approach, explore what might be blocking your receptivity, or honestly assess whether this modality is the right fit for you at this time. My goal is always your wellbeing, and that sometimes means acknowledging when a different approach might serve you better.
That said, in 15 years of practice, I've rarely had a client experience nothing. Even when the changes are subtle, most people notice something shifting - whether it's sleeping better, feeling more grounded, having more clarity, or simply feeling more like themselves.
