Energy Medicine
My energy medicine experience includes a masters degree in acupuncture (specializing in needle-free approaches to working with Trauma Recovery & Eastern Medicine Psychology), multiple qigong styles, multiple shamanic energy medicine approaches, polarity therapy, reiki master/teacher certification, energetic plant medicine, and other practices that support whole-person integration, growth, and healing. The energy medicine work I offer is heavily influenced by my studies with Dr. Alberto Villoldo and Marcela Lobos, but is also informed by decades of studies and experience with other energy medicine modalities, transpersonal psychology studies, bodywork methods, and other studies.
Some folks may be hesitant to try energy medicine practices, holding the misunderstanding that it is "woo-woo." Something I really take professional pride in is making these practices feel grounded in reality, safe, and accessible while offering a framework that feels in alignment with your own personal values and beliefs. I have studied and practiced these arts for decades and have many ways to approach these methods in a way that honors exactly where you are on your journey.

Energy medicine helps support your body's innate ability for self-healing. This work can support your system in learning to access a relaxed (parasympathetic) state, providing an atmosphere for improving pain levels, mood, concentration, digestion, immune response, quality of sleep, and much more.
Four Winds Energy Medicine

These advanced energy medicine practices may be woven into sessions with those who are ready to do this kind of work. This medicine works with imprints and information in the Luminous Energy Field as taught by Dr. Alberto Villoldo, Marcela Lobos, and The Four Winds Light Body School. These techniques may include releasing imprints and harmful generational patterns, removing intrusive energies, soul retrieval, ritual guidance, energy medicine-based coaching & education, death rites, and related practices.
This eclectic energy medicine modality is based primarily on an Andean lineage of healing traditions. It also includes practices from other traditions. It is offered for personal healing and spiritual growth. It is holistic in nature and considers the interplay of the body, mind/emotions, soul, and spirit in our human experience.

Some of the primary Four Winds energy medicine processes, as described my one of my teachers, Karen Johnson, include:
- Illumination Process: We work together to identify and release imprints in your Luminous Energy Field that may be negatively impacting you. We also work to repair the blueprint to change the underlying affinities for repeating certain detrimental patterns.
- Extraction Process: We remove intrusive energies that are not an authentic part of your soul's expression in a way that completely and compassionately transforms them, as well as the issues surrounding why they were with you in the first place.
- Soul Retrieval Process: We journey on your behalf to recover a part of your whole self that separated from you during a time of trauma and now resides safely in a state of grace, awaiting the opportunity to be lovingly reunited with you. This exquisitely beautiful process, and all its accompanying gifts and wisdom offerings, brings a profound sense of wholeness and well-being.
- Other processes that can be explored include death rites and support with transitioning between worlds for those who are preparing to pass as well as for those who have already passed (no matter how much time has gone by), energy medicine-based health coaching, despacho ceremonies, passing on the Munay-Ki Rites, and other more advanced practices.
Pranic Healing®

Pranic Healing® is a hands-off energy healing practice developed in the Philippines by Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui. It follows a process of cleansing, energizing, and stabilizing the energy system to remove energy blockages and bring in fresh qi/prana while you rest on a cozy table. Pranic Healing® works similarly to acupuncture, but without the use of needles. It is excellent for working with stress, chronic pain, and trauma healing. It is unique in that it does not require talking about traumatic experiences. This modality is gentle yet powerful and relaxing yet energizing. It paves the way for greater access to your own wisdom, joy, and growth.
Energetic Plant Medicine

Plant medicine may be woven into sessions via flower essences, handcrafted herbal tinctures, essential oils, and other methods. We incorporate energy medicine concepts and somatic awareness practices with drop-dose plant wisdom through pulse testing to support the the body's flow of life force energy. This work supports you in bringing attention to your own inner experiences and personal growth with the assistance of plant medicine.
Plants have been our guides and helpers as long as humans have walked on the planet. They possess the ability to remind us how to flow through life smoothly again when energy and emotions become stuck, stagnant, or depleted.
Plant medicine can be especially useful when a person is in a life transition, when doing growth work, or whenever we have the desire to simply feel more deeply nourished. The plants provide subtle, yet powerful support to help you along your path as you release the conditioned layers of "not you" in order to express more of who you are with clarity and confidence.

I have been studying energy medicine modalities since childhood. Theories and practices from any of the following modalities may be woven into sessions. * Please note that while acupuncture theory may be used to understand and explain certain energetic patterns during sessions, my practice is 100% needle free!
