I became interested in energy medicine after I suffered a traumatic loss. I was really struggling physically and mentally and it wasn't getting easier. I could barely function and was having some strange medical issues. I knew if it went on for much longer I was likely to get seriously sick. Western medicine wanted to treat me for depression but I knew that depression was not the cause of my problems. I wanted to go deeper, to find the root of the problem. I started accupuncture treatment, and that was helping, but I still needed help with the feeling of overwhelm, exhaustion, and anger. Then I was given a book that opened my perspective on health. It was Donna Eden's book Energy Medicine and I couldn't stop reading! She had simple effective tools that helped me feel better. I wanted to understand how it worked. I enrolled in my first class, fully expecting it would be my last. On the first day, I was so exhausted I turned into a puddle on the floor. I thought 'how am I going to make it through four days?' I rested as much as I could and showed up the next day, come what may. We practiced on each other everyday. It felt really good to be worked on, but also to work on others. When I went home after the four days, I could tell there had been a big shift - I felt lighter, happier, for no apparent reason other than the classwork I had done. I began to feel hope.
That first year of classes brought a profound shift in my energy. I certainly wasn't out of the woods but seeing the progress was encouraging. I really loved that practicing the work was improving my health. The underlying philosophies were shedding light on ideas and concepts that were interesting, life-affirming and supportive. I was learning to listen to myself and about why my thoughts really matter. I wondered 'could my illness be connected to my feelings? How do I unwind that?' Then the pandemic happened and my work life collapsed. I decided to jump into the year two training at the last minute since I was going to have time on my hands. Year two was incredible. I met so many wonderful people and learned an incredible amount. Each class brought me closer to health and wholeness. Energy medicine was worked on my body, yes, but also my mind and spirit. I started to feel happy and energetic again. I was hooked! Now I feel a strong sense of purpose, belonging, inner strength and curiosity. I honor my energies and they respond joyously.
I'd love to help you on your healing journey. It will change your life!
