Frequently Asked Questions
Is Energy Work Safe?
When performed by a trained and ethical practitioner, energy work is considered very safe and noninvasive. It is crucial to inform the practitioner of any mental or physical health conditions. Energy work is not a substitute for professional medical treatment.
What Happens During a Session?
•Intention setting: The practitioner will usually begin by asking about your concerns- Physical pain, emotional stress, fatigue, or general wellbeing. Together, you set an intention for what you would like to release or restore. •Relaxed Environment: You'll be invited to lie fully clothed on a massage table or sit comfortably. Soft music, calming scents, or dim lighting may be used to help your nervous system relax. During The Session: Assessment of energy flow: •The practitioner may begin by scanning your energy field- either with their hands above the body or intuitively sensing areas that feel dense, cool, or depleted. Balancing Techniques: Depending on the practitioners background they may: •Hold or lightly touch specific points on your body. •"Sweep" or "clear" energy blockages with hand movements. •Direct energy to areas that feel weak or out of balance. •Work with chakras, meridians, and other energetic systems. Physical Sensations: •Many people feel warmth, tingling, light pressure, or gentle pulsing. Other simply experience deep calm or emotional release. After The Session: •Integration: The practitioner may share observations or suggest aftercare- hydration, grounding, rest, or journaling. •How you may feel: Clients often report feeling lighter, centered, or unusually peaceful. Sometimes mild emotional or physical releases occur as the body adjusts (similar to post-massage sensations). •Ongoing benefits: Over the next few days, the body continues to integrate changes, supporting better circulation, relaxation, and overall energy alignment.
Is There a Spiritual Component to Energy Work?
•Yes there is often a deep spiritual component to energy work, though how it shows up depends on both the practitioner's approach and the clients openness or beliefs. •Energy work doesn't require any specific religious belief. It's simply based on the idea that our bodies are more than physical- that we are made up of energy, and that stress, pain, or illness can affect that flow. •There is no doctrine or ritual involved- just gentle techniques that help your body and mind return to balance. You don't have to believe in anything special for it to help; it works naturally with your body's own healing response. •In this way, energy work can complement your existing faith and well-being practices, supporting your health in a way that feels grounded, safe, and respectful of personal beliefs.
Does Your Practitioner Need to be Licensed?
In the state of Oregon your practitioner does not need to be licensed to do energy work. However, both myself and my business are registered with the state.
