What Energy work really is and what it is not.
Are you curious about energy work, is it real, safe or for you?
Most people like me, find energy work because they are looking for relief, clarity or to feel more like themselves.
What we mean by “Energy”
Most people when they hear the words energy work,they think Woo Woo stuff. Energy is very connected to the tangible experiences in the body.
Energy shows up as:
Imbalance in energy: tension, tightness, emotional weight, feeling wired but tired, something feels off but everything is “fine”
From an energetic perspective, these experiences often reflect how stress, emotion, and survival response are being held in the system. Not just mentally , but physically and energetically.
Energy work doesn’t override the body.
It listens to it.
What is Energy work?
Energy work is a gentle, supportive practice that helps the body and nervous system move out of chronic stress/fight or flight and back toward balance.
It can: Support nervous system regulation, help release emotional residue stored in the body, increase awareness of internal states, create a sense of safety, grounding and clarity.
Many people describe sessions as
Calming, clarifying, deeply restorative
Nothing is forced; nothing is “done” to you. The energy will flow and follows your body’s pace.
What Energy work is NOT
Mind control, belief-based, by-passing emotions, replacement for medical or psychological care, instant transformation without integration(homework).
It doesn’t erase life experiences or make you immune to stress. It helps your body/nervous system process and RESPOND differently over time.
How energy work and the nervous system connect
When the body has been under prolonged stress~ burnout, emotionally overwhelm, trauma, or chronic pressure/stress~ it can get stuck in survival mode.
Energy work supports the body by: creating conditions for safety, reducing internal noise, helping the body release what no longer needs to hold onto (emotional, energetic)
This is why people feel so good/amazing after a session, clearing that heavy energy that’s keeping you in the survival mode. I have had many layers that have come up to clear.
What a session typically feels like
You can feel warmth, tingling, or energy moving (like water flowing)
Deeper breathing, emotional releases (this could be tears, or crying)
Some people feel immediate shifts, others its gradually~ better sleep, clearer boundaries, less reactive to triggers).
Energy work can be helpful for: people who are emotionally and/or energetically sensitive, burned out but can’t fully rest, have done “all the right things” and still feel off, are healing old emotional patterns, wants support that feels gentle and respectful.
It’s not Fixing you; it’s clearing heavy energy and up to your body to “heal” itself. It’s about supporting what your body and nervous system already knows how to do.
