What is Energy Healing — And what it isn’t
There’s a growing interest in energy healing, and with it comes a few understandable misconceptions. One of the most common I hear is that energy healing means instant healing - a single fix that clears everything in one session, never to return again - and if it doesn’t? Well then it’s not worked or energy healing is just a myth.
But let’s take a step back and put it into a more familiar context.
If you were to see a chiropractor, physiotherapist or osteopath, would you expect to be completely healed of all physical aches, pains, and musculoskeletal issues for life after just one session? Probably not. You’d understand that while one appointment can bring relief, deeper or chronic issues usually require multiple visits. You might feel better straight away, but long-term healing typically involves consistent care, integration and time.
The same is true for energy healing.
So what is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is a gentle yet powerful modality that works with your body’s energetic system.
In an energy healing session, I work with your energetic body to clear old patterns and energies that no longer serve you. These could be:
Old wounds and unprocessed trauma
Deep-rooted fears
Addictions or limiting beliefs
Chronic stress and anxiety
Emotional patterns you've been carrying for years
These patterns can be stuck in your energy field and often, you don’t even realise they’re there until they start affecting your emotional, mental or even physical wellbeing.
During a session, I work to clear out that old, heavy energy and replace it with fresh, healing energy. Think of it like clearing away clutter from a room - you’re creating more space for clarity, peace and alignment.
Healing is a Process, Not a One-Off Fix
Just like you wouldn’t expect a single massage to undo years of muscle tension, energy healing may take time and multiple sessions, especially when dealing with deeply rooted or long-standing emotional patterns.
Often, the surface-level energy is ready to be cleared right away. You can feel lighter, calmer or more clear after just one session. But sometimes, the deeper layers of energy need time to rise to the surface. It’s a bit like having really tight knots in your back: a single massage can loosen some of them, but others might need repeat work to release fully. You can also think of it like peeling back the layers of an onion.
Healing happens in layers. Some of what we carry has been with us for years, even decades, and it’s only natural that it might take more than one session to fully process, clear and integrate.
It’s About Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Energy healing isn’t just about ‘being fixed’. It’s about helping you come back into alignment. It’s about creating space for you to feel more like yourself again - and sometimes, discovering who you really are beneath the layers you’ve picked up along the way.
As life moves on, new stressors, challenges and emotional experiences arise. Just like you might go back to your osteopath, physio or chiropractor when something new pops up, energy healing can support you through the cycles of life, offering clarity, balance and release when you need it most.
A Final Word
Energy healing isn’t magic — but it is powerful. It’s not always instant — but it is real. And it’s not about being “healed forever” — it’s about being supported on your healing journey, layer by layer, step by step.
If you’re ready to begin releasing what no longer serves you and making space for something lighter, clearer and more aligned, energy healing might be the answer you’ve been seeking.
