My journey with biofield therapy began in 2001 when I experienced a post-traumatic stress breakdown after 9/11. Initially, I sought counseling to help me recover by seeing a traditional psychiatrist who advised me to take a pharmacological approach to manage my overwhelm.  This did not sit well with me, and it was then that I  began to seek out help through alternative, integrative healing modalities and had my first energy healing experience with a Reiki Master. It was this experience that opened the door to my understanding of how powerful energy work could be and how much of an impactful shift it can help create in the mind, body, and spirit.

​

A significant turning point for me was when I learned that I was an empath.  While everyone has the capability to feel empathy for others when they think about how it would feel if they were in another person’s situation, empaths actually feel others' energetic experiences in their own bodies.  Learning this helped me to understand that I was being overwhelmed by the feelings of others' anxiety, stress, anger, sorrow, fear, etc.  This information is carried in the space within and around a person and is always being broadcast out into the world.  When I learned how to separate my feelings from the ones I was always feeling from others, and how to stay grounded, despite the intensity of what I feel from others,  it was a true saving grace for me! Now using my heightened sensitivities when working with clients is one of the benefits of my healing practices.
