Energy Medicine
“Energy medicine is both a complement to other systems of medical care and, in itself a complete system for self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness and emotional disorders, and it can also promote wellness and peak performance.”
~Donna Eden
Energy Medicine combines ancient healing and spiritual traditions with contemporary scientific understandings of health and wellness.
It is the art of working with our bodies’ subtle energetic system to bring about balance.
We have Chakras, an Aura, and energetic rivers of Qi that flow through our Meridians, transporting energy throughout our body.
Working with nine different subtle energy systems that feed and influence each other, we can bring about energetic shifts that can have profound results.
During times of trauma, stress, or illness our energies can form energetic habits or patterns of flow that are initially helpful to the body. But, if they hang on too long this can create energetic patterns that are no longer beneficial to us and are detrimental to our well-being.
The energy in our body needs to move. When energy becomes blocked or stagnant then we can experience issues such as pain, illness, emotional turmoil, or disease.
What an Energy Medicine Session Looks Like:
Initially, I do an intake where we go over a person’s history. Hearing someone’s story helps me to connect the dots and to identify possible root causes.
Follow-up sessions are generally 2 hours.
I suggest that a client wear comfy, loose-fitting, clothing.
Much of the session takes place, fully clothed with the client relaxing on a massage table.
During a session, I become an “energy sleuth”, and using muscle testing (applied kinesiology) and or tuning forks, I track the flow of subtle energy within the body and in the biofield. The information that I gather, directs the flow of the session.
At the end of a session, a person may receive energy exercises to do at home to keep the corrected energetic pattern flowing.
In this way, each session can build on itself, allowing me to move forward more easily in subsequent sessions.
In general, if a person has a chronic issue, I would recommend that they commit to at least 6 sessions over a given period of time.
One unique aspect of the Energy Medicine that I practice, that I find to be particularly valuable, is the personal agency that you gain from learning to work with your own energetic system.
A daily energy routine (DER) is taught and encouraged as an ongoing practice, much like one would practice yoga. The DER helps to keep your energetic system flowing, enabling you to be more grounded, resilient, and balanced in your daily life.
Biofield Tuning
Biofield tuning is a therapeutic method that utilizes tuning forks to detect and correct distortions and imbalances within the Biofield (Aura) that surrounds the human body.
The Biofield Anatomy Hypotheses states that our Biofield is shaped like a torus and extends approximately five feet on either side of the body and about three feet above and below the head. The torus contains a record of all of our memories, embedded as energy and information in the biofield. It also contains the blueprint that the physical body organizes itself around. By using tuning forks, blockages and distortions can be detected in the field, and then by using various techniques, we assist the body in processing these perturbations. This method can be beneficial in addressing a wide variety of symptoms ranging from the physical to the emotional, helping to create balance, resiliency, and grounding.

My Story:
I am a Mom, a partner to my husband, a holistic practitioner, an avid home cook, a lover of the outdoors, and someone who is endlessly curious and always questioning. I am passionate about holistic wellness. I grew up in a unique community, a ski area where my parents ran a local Inn. There amongst the pots and pans of our industrial kitchen, I hatched my love for all things culinary. In the early days, my interests in holistic health and diet were wrapped around my need to be in top physical condition, as I was a nationally ranked Alpine ski racer. I received a full scholarship to race for the University of New Mexico’s, NCAA ski team. There, I studied Athletic Training, but my interests soon morphed. I changed course following my love for food, attending a culinary school in Seattle, Washington. During my time in the restaurant business, I was lucky to work in some top-notch restaurants such as Campagna in Seattle, Higgins in Portland, and the beloved Café Escalera in Santa Fe, where I worked under Deborah Madison of “Greens” fame and David Tanis from Chez Panisse.
I was immersed in the culture of farm-to-table dining which presented me with new ideas in terms of food and our relationship to the land. Soon I wasn’t just a cook but also a forager seeking out the food that was lovingly grown by the hero farmers of the day. Over the next decade, I worked in establishments that did their best to work with small farmers who paid close attention to the stewardship of their land and the quality of their products.

So how did I end up being a holistic practitioner?
My husband and I had two beautiful boys. Eventually, we discovered that our sons had fairly crippling food intolerances that had been negatively impacting their health for years. This affected our entire way of life and changed our easy-going relationship with food.
We decided to seek professional help for our kids to find answers. We entered the medical system with the hope and expectation that all would be soon resolved. Many rounds of antibiotics later and amid threats of exploratory surgery to discover the roots of my young children’s digestive issues, we left the Western paradigm looking for alternative solutions.
I learned after working with a Naturopath that what we ate mattered greatly in regards to our digestive woes. It affected our moods, our immune system, our guts, and even our sense of wellbeing.
Cranial sacral work and tuning forks helped my children’s ear infections. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine helped our upset stomachs and Eden Energy Medicine helped me to get my hormones under control. When my kids were older I went back to school to study the modalities that I felt had been so important on our journey to wellness.
It has become my mission to share the knowledge I have acquired in order to help others deal with their health issues.

Holistic Nutrition
Holistic nutrition looks at the whole person, not just a person’s presenting symptoms or issues.
We are intricate, complicated beings, and no two people are identical or have the exact same needs.
Because of this, each person that walks into my office is a new challenge, a unique story with a unique resolution. This is one of the many beautiful things about this work.
People are constantly shifting, changing, and growing, which requires that we support ourselves in different ways at different times of our lives.
I believe that our diet and lifestyle choices influence us greatly.
These choices will either help or hinder our body’s innate ability to heal itself.
By paying attention to what and how we are eating and by approaching diet and lifestyle from an energetic view we can shift our relationship with food and support our amazing digestive system.
