Energy healing is when one sources/uses energy to help balance their own or someone else’s energy field so they can feel more balanced and whole. It helps to shift physical, emotional and mental imbalances opening pathways throughout the human energy field so the body can heal itself. Using energy for healing is one of the most ancient techniques used worldwide. Energy Healing helps balance, support and relax the energy and nervous system and when these systems are relaxed, the body, mind and spirit can restore and repair.
There are several types of Energy Healing modalities that have been created over the years. The modality I use to help my clients is called Transpersonal Energy Healing.

What is Transpersonal Energy Healing?
Transpersonal Energy Healing is a combination of Transpersonal-Spiritual Counseling and Energy Healing. Transpersonal-Spiritual Counseling uses the art of inquiry to bring awareness to your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, enabling you to release emotional blocks and let go of what no longer serves you. Unresolved emotional issues can have a detrimental impact on your health, creating blocks and stagnation, leading to disharmony, anxiety, stress, pain and illness. The belief is that what happens to you in your life is stored not only in your mind but also in your body, starting in your energy field. By focusing on the physical sensations in your body, discussing your problems and balancing the body’s energy field simultaneously, you can have a profound holistic, therapeutic and transformative experience. Transpersonal Energy Healing uses grounding earth energy to help restore balance to the body.
The foundation of Transpersonal-Spiritual Counseling is based on the teachings of Wilhelm Reich (a student of Freud) and Alexander Lowan, which Barbara Brennan translated into the field of Energy Medicine. Transpersonal Energy Healing can be considered a process of spiritual and hands-on energy psychology. It can bring you an overall sense of newness, peace and happiness, so you can enjoy healthy vitality, connect to your true, joyful nature and free yourself from limiting patterns and belief systems.
How Does It Work?
In a typical session with a client, we start seated in chairs facing one another. The client shares what is on their mind or an intention and from there, we explore the emotions and physical sensations that show up using the art of inquiry. Then the client will lay on the massage table fully clothed and covered with a blanket if needed. I support the client with energy healing based on the information that came up while talking in the chairs. Sometimes we may continue to talk on the table and sometimes a client may go into a deeply relaxed state and not talk at all. Every session can look different and I follow the needs of the client in the present moment.
“The body is a self-healing organism, so it’s really about clearing things out of the way so the body can heal itself.” – Barbara Brennan
A common question I’m asked… Is it Reiki?
Transpersonal Energy Healing and Reiki are similar in that both modalities use energy for healing. TEH is a grounding earth energy which includes the foundational, psychological component of transpersonal-spiritual counseling, which Reiki alone does not. Reiki has become a more well known form of energy healing these days, which has started to be offered in hospital/western medicine settings. Amazing! 🙂
Energy Healing is becoming more known and acknowledged for its many benefits, but for many people it can still feel too ‘out there’ and ‘woo-woo’. What’s really fantastic about energy healing is that you don’t need to believe in it for it to be beneficial. An open mind is all you need to give it a try and decide for yourself if its benefits are true for you.
