What is Transpersonal Energy Healing and Counseling?

Hands-On Healing works with the human energy field, which carries information about the mind, body and spirit. By increasing the amount of life force (or "chi") in our energy systems, we increase awareness and encourage movement towards healing, awakening, and awareness of what lies deep within us.

Utilizing a multitude of energy healing techniques and the subtle energy system, chakras and the auric field, we explore together the mystery of your physical and emotional struggles, relationships, defenses and belief systems.  Many of us interact in the world in a subconscious reactive manner.  We often sense this through feelings of slight discomfort, stress, anxiety, insecurity and other defenses which cloud our potential for interpersonal relationships, professional achievement and even our physical health.  Transpersonal Energy Healing and Counseling can result in a sense of freedom, expansiveness and an enhanced experience of love, acceptance and compassion of our self and others, creating a greater sense of wellbeing, peace, calmness, and the release of much distress and dis-ease.  

This is a journey for the healer and the client.  We can go only where the client wants to go, and the exploration is done with great mutual reverence and respect.  In fact, I am not really the healer – I am merely the catalyst and the companion, holding the space for the client to be his or her own healer.  I encourage my clients to experience that and to continue the process between session.

What is Focusing Oriented Therapy ~ Inner Relationship Focusing?

Focusing is a special way of paying attention to yourself, so that you sense the whole way you are feeling about situations or issues in your life. This is different from just having emotions or just getting in touch with feelings. Focusing involves having a different kind of relationship with emotions and feelings. It’s as if you are becoming your own good listener. The result is greater calm, wiser choices, and a deeper sense of connection to your own life and being.

Focusing-Oriented Therapy offers a new and profound way of being with our clients in a way that helps access and open up felt experiencing in the moment, including the body as felt from the inside as well as body expression through movement and gesture. Bringing a Focusing orientation to therapy enhances any form of therapy being practiced.  Inner Relationship Focusing is a specific development of Focusing that supports the client’s relationship with his/her own experiencing process. Empathic responses are combined with supportive invitations that point the way to deeper process at every stage. Through subtle, empowering, respectful language, as well as the genuine presence of the therapist, the client is supported in being in relationship with their problem or issue rather than being caught up in it, in a way that that allows new meanings and steps forward to emerge

What is Emotional Freedom Technique?

The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.  Essentially, EFT is a form of “psychological acupuncture”—except we don’t use needles. The approach relieves symptoms by focusing one’s thought on a problem while tapping on various energy points on the face and upper body. This tapping balances the energy in our system that has become disrupted when we remember or experience something that triggers an emotional disturbance. Once balanced, the upset is usually resolved—the memory stays but the emotional charge is gone. Typically the result is lasting and is also accompanied by positive changes in thinking. The technique is easy to learn and ideal for self-help.  The concept around this technique is very much in alignment with wholebody therapy.
