What is energy healing?
Energy healing is a holistic practice that involves channeling healing energy into and out of the body to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It aims to balance the energy system within the body, helping to alleviate stress, pain, and other health issues.
What is a holistic practice?
A holistic practice is characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
How does energy healing work?
Energy healing works on the principle that the body has a natural energy field also known as the aura. Practitioners help clear energy blockages within the aura to restore the natural flow of energy, leading to improved health and well-being.
What are the benefits of energy healing?
Energy healing can assist with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, chronic pain, sleep disturbances, emotional imbalances, and general wellness. Oftentimes, clients who seek energy healing for personal growth and spiritual development experience the benefits of all of the above. Healing and maintaining a healthy aura will also benefit family members for generations to come.
Is "energy healing" the same thing as Reiki?
“Energy healing” is a general term used for healing the energy system of the body. Jess combines both Reiki and Shamanic healing into her practice.
What is the difference between Reiki and Shamanic healing?
Reiki healing energy flows through the practitioner to the client. It kickstarts the body’s natural ability to heal itself and intuitively goes to where the person needs it most. Shamanic healing can also remove specific energies from the body, creating a more dynamic energy flow. Shamanic healing also allows for more conscious awareness for the client, making the healing process even more empowering and impactful.
How long has energy healing been around for?
Different modalities of energy healing have been practiced for thousands of years in various ancient cultures worldwide. For example: Chinese medicine, Indian Ayurveda, Native American Shamanism, and Japanese Reiki.
Is this a spiritual practice and do I need to have certain spiritual or religious beliefs?
In essence, our energy and our spirit are one and the same. Having a spirit is a common thread between all living beings. You do not need to have specific spiritual or religious beliefs to receive energy healing. Energy healing practitioners serve with the intention of helping others from a place of love and light.
What if I am new to energy healing? Do I need to believe in it in order for it to work?
Energy healing respects free will. The recipient plays an important role in their own healing as the mind is infinitely powerful. We are either open to receive, or not. If you don’t feel ready to see a practitioner but are interested in energy healing, we suggest trying guided meditations or yoga on a regular basis first : )
Is energy healing safe?
Yes, energy healing is considered safe for most people. It can be a very effective complementary practice alongside traditional medical treatments. However, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goal. That said, if you are looking for transformational and sustainable change, consistent energy healing is key!
Do you guarantee that I will feel better after we work together?
We can not guarantee your outcome. Again, energy healing respects free will. Ultimately, you allow as much healing into your life as you are ready for.
I'm thinking about seeing a psychologist. Can I just do energy work instead?
While talk therapy is an important part of mental health for all, energy healing can be a great segway for those who don’t feel ready to see a therapist. Energy healing tends to feel less invasive for its relaxing and meditative qualities.
What is sound healing?
Sound healing is a wellness practice that uses sound waves or vibrations to promote healing and balance in the body, mind, and spirit. It involves listening to therapeutic instruments that deliver specific healing frequencies like chimes, singing bowls, and tuning forks while relaxing in a comfortable setting.
What is crystal healing?
Crystals have specific and stable vibrations that interact with the body's energy centers. They are as old as the earth itself (and older!) and are considered "wisdom keepers" for their guiding and transcending qualities. They are a gentle way to amplify the intended healing frequencies in the room during your Reiki and Shamanic treatments.
Your aura is your energy field and it surrounds you at all times. It is an energetic illustration of your state of being, and will shape shift according to your state. When your aura is healthy, it serves as a layer of protection to your entire being. An aura reading with Jess is a Shamanic assessment on the current state of your energy/spirit. Jess sees auras as 3D shapes, movement, and is often expressed by things in nature. Through the use of oracle cards, Jess will connect with spirit and communicate guidance on how to most effectively heal your aura, chakras, and essentially, yourself. She may give you cues to take deep breaths and visualize specific release during your session. Conscious awareness of your own healing can be one of the most moving and empowering experiences of your life.
What is an aura/ aura reading?
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of specific essential oils or smoke to improve aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. High quality essential oils are made from plants that have been used as medicine for thousands of years. Typically, Jess will apply it to the palms of her hands at specific times during your session to enhance the energy healing vibrations. Jess may also use sage bundles and palo santo sticks to smudge the sacred space before, during, and after your session for optimal energy cleansing. Be sure to tell Jess if you have any sensitivities to scents so she can omit them from your session.
What should I do before a healing session?
It is recommended to drink plenty of water, limit caffeine, and avoid alcohol before an energy healing session. Dress comfortably, and refrain from using perfume, cologne, scented lotion or oils the day of your session. Please do wear deodorant.
What should I do after a healing session?
It is recommended to drink plenty of water and rest after a healing session. It is normal to feel run down for a limited time after your session while the body releases toxins and generates new cells.
Do you offer healings remotely and do they work as well as in- person healings?
Yes, we offer healings remotely, and yes, distance energy healing works just as effectively as in-person healings.
"From the moment I walked in, Jess’ calming, warm energy put me at ease, and the ambiance of the space was simply stunning. The session felt like a journey of getting to know myself more deeply, with intention and gentle guidance. I’m still in a beautiful, relaxed state, and it feels like my entire sensory system has awakened. Thank you, Jess, for sharing your amazing gift—I can’t wait for our next session!"
