Why I quit my corporate job to start my own energy medicine practice.

“You did what?”  Yes, 9 out of 10 times this is the reaction when I tell people I quit my job to start my own energy medicine practice. With so many skeptics, why did I do it? Because it is LEGIT. Too legit to …well you know the lyrics. 

So why do I say it’s legit? Three reasons– personal experience, client reactions and emerging science. 

Personal Experience 

Let’s get personal. Energy work saved my life. A few years ago I had an “aha” moment while interviewing a young non-binary individual for a work project. They talked of a lifetime of pain, shame, and self-hatred leading to regular self-mutilation and several hospitalizations. I realized that while the external scars were different, the internal scars were the same. While I wasn’t living a non-binary experience, I did weigh 300 lbs. by middle school. As long as I could remember I was completely uncomfortable in my own skin and was now drowning in self-loathing. My childhood coping mechanisms of self harm evolved into addiction to over-achievement and constant movement. This eventually led to two heart attacks at age 36. I had to do something different. Energy work was the answer for me and I’ve never felt better.

Client Reactions 

Just as every client is unique, every session is unique. While I cannot guarantee certain results, clients consistently report positive outcomes. In one instance a woman in her mid 70’s finished her session and was out the door before she realized she left her walking cane in the office. Another client shared “I walked in holding SO much negative energies/emotions inside and when I walked out, I was rejuvenated, positive, open and incredibly more balanced. I had not been that way for eons.” I’ve seen clients release years of trauma, blame and shame within a single session. I guess you can say each session is “like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.” But each time it is some kind of chocolate goodness that is rewarding and fulfilling for both me and my clients.

Emerging science

Max Planck, the father of quantum physics and Nobel Prize Winner declared, "We have now discovered that there is no such thing as matter; it is all just different rates of vibration..." The field of Energy Medicine is based on the premise that all things are energy, that the flow and balance of the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energies are important for fostering well being and for supporting physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. The more I learn about what the National Institute of Health (NIH) coined the human biofield (aka aura, chi, qi), how electricity works, alternative cosmological theories, quantum theory, and modern subtle energy experiments being performed at institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton, the more intrigued I become.

Perhaps the most compelling reason of all though is this. A few months ago I started wondering, if I could do just ONE thing what would it be? What would be my life’s purpose? The answer was to bring healing to the world through energy work. Now I am going to do it.

Do you have a life’s purpose?
