What is Energy Healing? 

A natural, effective way to work with the energy that underlies, connects and supports all of life: life force energy, source energy or some call it Divine energy.

There are many energy healing modalities. Our toolkit of effective techniques combines intuitive energy medicine and several other concepts and approaches customized to individual needs.

This process allows us to identify and clear habits that you want to be free of, and heal life traumas while integrating new, more beneficial patterns – of constructive thought, harmonious behavior and physical health.

What are some things Energy Healing can help with?

• Insecurity, low self-esteem, dread, free-floating anxiety
• Addiction, sexual dysfunction, depression
• Resolving and healing unconscious blocks to success
• Releasing automatic negative thoughts and emotions
• Physical symptoms and illness

What are some of the benefits of Energy Healing? 

• Increased ‘self-love’
• Improved physical health, energy levels, and overall vitality
• Speedy recovery from illness and surgery
• Reconnecting with personal power
• Uncovering a calling, life purpose or ‘mission’
• Increased prosperity potential
• More harmonious and fulfilling relationships with self, family and friend

How to prepare for Energy Healing? 

Willingness to grow and heal is the main prerequisite.

We suggest you begin to identify what you want to change:

• life patterns (feeling stuck, always falling for the wrong guy, addictions)
• physical symptoms (sore neck, allergies, headaches, asthma)
• negative thoughts and feelings (rage, fear, guilt, depression, suicidal)

Drink plenty of water before (and after) – preferably also with a mineral supplement.  Energy is conducted through the water and minerals in your body, so you want plenty

When should I NOT have MyoFascial Release or Massage Therapy?

If you have any of the following conditions, you should not have a session:

• Fever
• Any type of infectious disease or contagious rash
• Systemic infections
• Severe cold
• Fracture, bleeding, burns or other acute injury
• Liver and kidney diseases
• Blood clot
• 1st trimester of Pregnancy
• High blood pressure (unless under control with medication)
• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Open skin lesions or sores (therapist may work around them if localized)

How long do the effects of a particular therapy last, and how often should I receive any therapy offered at Wellness Body Therapy?

The duration of the effects of a therapy vary greatly from person to person depending on your physical and mental condition, activities, ability to relax, and ability to heal. If you are receiving a therapy to help heal an injury or to get rid of chronic pain, you usually need to receive weekly or bi-weekly sessions until you reach that goal. For energy healing, it is suggested to come once a month, or until you have achieved the goal you came in for.

If you are receiving massage for prevention, health maintenance, or just to feel better, you have more leeway in how often you receive a particular type of therapy. Monthly sessions would be beneficial for prevention. The effects of consistant sessions are cumulative. Every week or two can make a big difference in your overall health and tension levels. Make massage therapy or energy healing part of your health maintenance program (along with good nutrition and exercise).

What type of payments do you accept?

We accept cash, check, Visa, and MasterCard in office.
