The Healing Journey: Bridging Therapy and Energy Work
Finding Your Authentic Path
My name is Amy. I am a person just like you, looking for answers, knowing I want to get somewhere, but not sure where that place is. What I do know is that I keep striving for it, with a pull of immeasurable strength. I have always been curious, which I tell my clients is one of the many keys to your authentic self. My story may be similar to yours. You could call this purpose, passion, or just plain survival to keep going, but it is palpable and real.
Curiosity is one of the many keys to discovering your authentic self. When you follow it, you open doors to profound healing.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with my own practice. I did not get here by accident, I worked hard to have the privilege of hearing my clients' most vulnerable parts of themselves. I walk alongside them as we navigate the long and windy road of healing. The role I hold is sacred in one's healing journey, one of many that can help.
The Energy of Healing
We all live in a house of generational trauma (and gifts!), physical memories, emotional wounds, stagnant energy, and sometimes just feeling like something isn't quite "right"...but we don't know WHAT that is. This is where energy healing comes in. Call it magic, but it works. Our bodies are energy, everything is energy—it cannot be created or destroyed. BUT it can be transmuted and shifted.
Everything is energy—it cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be transmuted and shifted. This is the foundation of energy healing work.
I have been receiving energy work for nearly 20 years, and I assure you that it has been a pivotal part of my healing journey. I will go as far to say that I wouldn't be where I am today had I not followed my curiosity and trusted what, at that time, was not as cool and definitely not mainstream. I truly believe that therapy comes in many forms, and if you are reading this and haven't yet tried Reiki, this is your sign to take the leap. I have tried many modalities of healing over the years, with Reiki being one of my favorites. I am Sheena's client, friend, and fellow healer.
Building Your Healing Team
When you go on your journey of healing you need a team. Mental health therapy is one of many ways to help yourself heal (one I highly recommend!). Taking care of your body, soul, and mind go hand in hand. One doesn't need to "see" it, to know it.
The work that Reiki can do is not something that is measured by a graph, chart, or assessment. It is one that is FELT.
With being a mental health therapist I encourage my clients to feel and process their emotions, challenge their negative core beliefs, and make the changes that they need to heal and grow. At times there may be energy blocks, which could be preventing them from taking that next step in their healing journey.
Maintaining Your Inner Home
Our bodies are our home, and just as we need to do different things to maintain our house, we also need to do this with us. Emotions and life experiences can build up like clutter that can hinder your perception of who you are and all that you can be. This is where having a team of your own personal healers comes in.
Emotions and experiences can build up like clutter in a home, hindering your true perception of who you are and all that you can be.
Just as I refer my clients to talk with their psychiatrist or physician about medicine, I also encourage my clients to try energy work if they are curious about it. Healing comes in many forms, and everyone has different needs and goals. It is important that we tend to all aspects of us…heart, mind, body, and soul. This is self-care and self-love.
I believe the power of the work I do, I also believe in the power of the work Sheena does. Follow your curiosity, pay attention to what makes you feel expanded and excited, and allow yourself to be open to the possibility of being the best version of YOU.
