Welcome to Your Session: What to Know Before We Begin
A Different Approach to Healing
Before your first session, I want to offer you a grounded understanding of how I view healing—because it may be very different from what you've encountered before.
In our culture, we’ve been taught—often unconsciously—to suppress. We suppress our words, our tears, our anger, our laughter, our questions, and even our body's natural urges. We've learned to do this to fit in, to cope, to be "good" or to survive systems like school, religion, and work. But what’s suppressed doesn’t disappear—it stores in the body, in the mind, and in the energetic field. Over time, this buildup can lead to stress, confusion, emotional overwhelm, physical discomfort, or a deep sense of disconnect from ourselves.I see healing as the movement away from suppression and toward expression. It’s not about "fixing" you—it’s about creating a space where your stored, suppressed energy can move, express, and ultimately release. This release is the catalyst for us becoming more fully ourselves, allowing us to step into our true potential and live in alignment with who we truly are.
My Philosophy: Healing as Expression
Healing, to me, is the process of re-learning how to express—emotionally, mentally, physically, energetically. It’s about gently inviting what’s been stuck to begin moving again. Sometimes this happens through sensation, insight, emotion, or subtle energetic shifts. It’s a deeply personal, often nonlinear journey, where we listen more than we analyze, feel more than we fix.
This work is rooted in the idea that you already have everything you need inside of you. My role is simply to support and create space for your system to express and reorganize itself naturally and intelligently.
What Is Energetic Healing?
You may hear the term "energetic healing" and wonder what that really means. Simply put, it’s the practice of attuning to the body’s subtle energies—the patterns beneath your physical, emotional, and mental experiences. These patterns often hold the story of your life: past experiences, beliefs, unexpressed emotions, ancestral influences, and more. Much like the subconscious mind, your energy body stores these hidden influences, many of which you may not be consciously aware of, yet they continue to shape your behaviors, reactions, and overall experience.
In our session, I’ll be working with your energetic body, which communicates through sensation, intuition, imagery, and emotion. As we open space for expression, the release might look like:
Mental expression: Random memories, new insights, or persistent thoughts coming up for the first time in a long time.
Emotional expression: Tears, laughter, frustration, grief—sometimes linked to a clear memory, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere.
Physical expression: Shivers, movement, sweating, temperature shifts, deep sighs or spontaneous sounds like toning, moaning, or even a belly laugh.
Subconscious release: Patterns and energy that rise up without a clear story or logic—this is a sign we’re working on a deep, foundational level.
What a Session Looks Like
Every session is unique, but here’s what you can generally expect:
We'll begin with a simple check-in. I may ask what brought you here, or if there’s anything specific on your mind or in your body today.
You'll remain fully clothed and lie down on a comfortable table. If joining remotely, please find a quiet, comfortable place to lie down with your speakerphone on. You don’t need to “do” anything—just be.
I’ll tune in to your energetic body, often starting with light touch on the feet. Sometimes I’ll work a few inches above your body, in your energetic field. If we are working remotely, I will be working with your energy as it exists beyond your physical form—this allows me to connect and support you, even from a distance.
You may feel warmth, tingling, waves of emotion, vivid thoughts, or nothing at all—and all of that is okay.
There may be moments of conversation, or the session may unfold mostly in silence. You are welcome to speak, move, stretch, breathe deeply, or be still. This is your space.
After the Session
The effects of a session will continue to unfold for days. You might feel lighter, clearer, sleepy, energized, emotional, or simply different. I encourage you to stay gentle with yourself, drink water, and if possible, carve out some quiet time immediately afterward.
You might also be inspired to move, write, sing, cry, laugh, or rest. That’s your system continuing to express and release—welcome it.
I often recommend:
Journaling or voice notes to capture thoughts or feelings.
Gentle movement like stretching, walking or dancing.
Epsom salt baths or foot soaks.
Rest and proper hydration.
Reaching out if you need support integrating your experience.
Come With Intention
You don’t need to arrive with a perfect idea of what you want to work on. Simply come with a willingness to be curious, open, and present. The most powerful sessions often begin with a simple intention: I’m ready to feel. I’m ready to release. I’m open to whatever is ready to move.
You don’t have to know how it works—just trust that your system knows exactly what to do when given the space.
