In 2020, we all faced unprecedented changes as we sheltered in place due to the pandemic. Many of our carefully laid plans were thrown into disarray. For example, during that time, I was deeply engaged in an advanced yoga training program at Kripalu Yoga Center, which I was unable to complete due to its closure.

As summer 2020 began, I was excited to see an announcement about an online Energy Medicine Yoga training. With curiosity piqued, I decided to join a Zoom call to learn more. I thought to myself, “Why not?” The program sounded compelling, particularly because it featured interactive live sessions. I had previously attempted a self-study program but found myself losing motivation. However, this new opportunity felt different, and the timing aligned perfectly with my goals, so I took the plunge and submitted my payment.

That seemingly simple choice has transformed my life in profound ways. Completing the summer program led me to further pursue advanced training in Energy Medicine Yoga, and I now teach a weekly online class, connecting with participants from all over the globe. Through my teaching experience, I recognized that my understanding of Energy Medicine needed to deepen. There was much more to explore if I was to be the effective teacher I aspired to be.

Consequently, I made another pivotal decision: I dedicated two years to becoming a certified Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner. Throughout the eight classes of my training, I have learned invaluable lessons about the importance of regularly balancing my energy. I’ve been continuously amazed by the body’s innate ability to heal and its unique ways of communicating needs. This journey has also revealed my passion for working one-on-one with individuals, guiding them toward enhanced health, healing, and well-being.

Throughout my journey, I have encountered the profound wisdom found in ancient healing traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. These practices, coupled with insights from modern healers who possess the remarkable ability to perceive the energetic body, have deepened my appreciation for holistic approaches as alternatives to conventional Western medical and psychological frameworks.

While I hold a PhD in psychology and recognize the valuable contributions of Western methods, I firmly believe that both Eastern and Western practices possess unique strengths and limitations. There are moments when it is beneficial to choose one method over the other, or even to integrate both for a more comprehensive healing experience. This exploration has not only broadened my perspective but also inspired me to embrace a more inclusive approach to wellness.

Western medicine is primarily focused on diagnosing and treating illnesses through pharmaceuticals, surgical procedures, and various physical interventions. In contrast, Eastern medicine embraces a holistic approach, recognizing the intricate relationship between the body, mind, and spirit. It employs natural remedies, acupuncture, and mindfulness practices to restore balance and enhance overall well-being. While there are clear instances where Western medicine is essential—such as in the case of a broken wrist—Eastern medicine can play a significant role in the healing journey both before and after surgical procedures.

As a practitioner of Eden Energy Medicine, I assess a person’s energetic body at every level—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—to assist individuals in restoring harmony and balance within themselves. During a session, I evaluate your current energy state and provide an initial balancing, followed by deeper, focused work based on what your body indicates it needs. Intriguingly, your body provides answers to many questions that transcend the limits of cognitive thought. Additionally, I offer personalized exercises for you to practice at home, allowing you to sustain the benefits of our session and continue nurturing your energy.

When you feel aligned with the universe and notice signs affirming your path—like the right people and opportunities presenting themselves—trust your instincts. This is the approach I have embraced for the past five years, and I feel immensely grateful to now offer these healing modalities. The feedback from my clients has been overwhelmingly positive, and the transformations they experience are truly inspiring.

If you’re curious about scheduling a session, I am currently welcoming new clients and would love to provide you with more details regarding pricing, session length, and available times. Alternatively, if you believe your workplace could benefit from a workshop or presentation, I am excited to share my knowledge about Energy Medicine.
