Session FAQ
Energy Health Coaching is an energy-based process I use to partner with you. You're in the driver’s seat of your life and invite me along as the passenger to help you know what you want and to achieve it. I bring my training and expertise so you can close the gap between where you’re at versus where you’d rather be.
It’s a way for you to explore and shift the resonance of whatever challenges, limits or blocks you from your desires, intentions, goals and choices.
How do I help you do that? By using the methodology of energy psychology, along with energy-based tools, applied neuroscience and strategic coaching techniques.
Energy Health Coaching is a comprehensive process that supports you to own, change and love your energy, which is every:
- thought you have
- feeling you emote
- belief you carry
- action you take
In every session you get to choose your focus, priorities and concrete actions.
I honor you as the expert in your life, and believe you're creative, resourceful and whole.
I provide the optimal space for your self-awareness and self-healing. And, I bring an energetic perspective, create focus, clarify intention, motivate, and build accountability all while facilitating the energy-based tools and methodology needed to shift resonance.
Energy psychology is a mind-body approach that helps you identify and change the underlying - usually hidden - root to your limiting, sabotaging or destructive perceptions and experiences that are expressed in your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors.
It includes a range of energy-based tools (e.g, Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT) that work with your body’s energy systems (e.g., Meridians).
Just as you have your biological anatomy that needs to be regulated and optimized through sleep, exercise and a good diet, you also have an energetic anatomy that needs the same. And, it can be accessed and brought into a healthy, harmonious state using an energy-based method.
When I say conventional therapy, I’m referring to talk therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy.
Conventional talk therapy typically involves talking about events and experiences within a supportive therapeutic relationship. It’s often unstructured and doesn’t necessarily include specific goal setting. Therapists typically focus on listening and reflecting.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is usually goal-oriented and focused, concentrating on thoughts and behaviors. In a classic CBT session, a therapist might listen to how you talk about yourself, your life, your relationships, your past. The therapist would explain or connect the dots between your negative emotional state, distorted thinking and past experiences, and then demonstrate "better thought patterns" to use. To improve your current experience through this model, you’d need to consciously practice the new thought pattern or behavior, regardless of any triggers.
The difference with energy psychology is that it includes all of those aspects plus accesses what is hidden, or unconscious, within your physical body and energy system within a single session. It uses methods that work with inherited generational trauma or imprints stored on a cellular level. In this way, the energy psychology approach reduces or removes the underlying emotional triggers and may work more quickly than conventional psychotherapy.
Resonance Kinesiology is a tool I use with clients to successfully identify what you resonate with - the limiting and/or life-giving patterns of resonance within your mind-body system.
It's a form of muscle checking that accesses the natural binary response of your body and energy field.

Your biography is your biology. Your story is influencing everything about your life – your perceptions of the world, people, situations; your expectations and assumptions; your beliefs about yourself and others; your attitudes and moods. It’s all a reflection of your personal 411 or, in some cases, 911.
What’s your story reflecting back to you? Lots of drama or trauma? Repeated failed relationships? Financial scarcity or debt? Victimhood? Resentment and anger? Deep hurt and pain? Chronic injury? Destructive habits? If so, sessions can help you change that.
Over time, your cumulative story has built strong connections between neurons causing groups of neurons to become wired together forming patterns. Your brain is made up of millions of these neural connections.
Imagine that just one piece of your story creates a neural pattern. That pattern is like a tree. The leaves are the symptoms - what you’re experiencing in the present such as credit card debt. The branches are the thoughts and emotions like worrying that you can’t pay your bills. The trunk is a related event such as losing a job in the past and the fear it might happen again. The roots are the beliefs anchoring the entire tree in place such as "I don’t deserve financial stability."
Now this will blow your mind...your brain is like a humongous orchard able to hold about 100 trillion "trees" that can grow up to 70,000 "branches" each – which are all part of your story.
Thankfully, sessions allow you, in a sense, to replant your orchard. They prune away life-depleting thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors, and graft in new life-enhancing ones that can grow and flourish in your life.
First, let me get the obvious out of the way. Your available resources - time and money - play a role in how many sessions you choose to have.
Now, here’s the question to ask yourself: “How much joy and vitality do I want to experience?” The answer to that question will determine the level of commitment you have towards doing the deeper, inner work needed for lasting change.
Consider this quote by Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD, “Your body is the life force power of some fifty trillion molecular geniuses. You and you alone choose moment by moment who and how you want to be in the world.”
Each session is like making a deposit of energy in your “Who I Want To Be” interest-bearing account. Over time the energetic currency is accrued and the compound interest grows the more sessions you receive. The amount of growth possible is limitless. Each session simply supports the limitless possibilities.
I do… with full disclosure.
I don’t or won’t keep secrets (for example: infidelity, substance abuse, self-harm). If there’s a behavior one family member reveals to me that directly affects the ability for another family member to own or change their participation in the relationship, then the following will be recommended:
- The coaching session is used to identify the limiting thoughts, feelings, or beliefs keeping you from revealing the secret to the affected family member and a concrete action is identified to resolve this issue with this family member.
- A group session may be scheduled with the family members involved to openly discuss the secret and move towards resolution.
- If you’re unwilling to reveal the secret to the affected family member, I may end the relationship and refer you to a different practitioner or coach to seek support.
If you or your family member(s) are not comfortable with this then I’m not the best practitioner / coach for you and/or the other family member(s).
I do... on one condition. As long as one or both parents are also receiving sessions or doing their own personal work with me, or another practitioner or therapist of some kind. Here’s why...
As a parent, although I know you have the sincerest intentions to help your child, when you bring your child to “therapy” there’s usually a misconception that the problem originates with the child.
What you may not realize is that children often express - in symptoms and behavior - what’s unresolved or hidden between the parents or above the parents. Systemic or generational patterns start with those who come before the children. So, as the parent, you play a vital role in changing the problem.
When you look at your child and only see them as having the problem, you rarely see the whole picture. It’s like only seeing the puddle instead of finding and repairing the leak. The child is the puddle. However, the parent is the leak.
There’s value in cleaning up the puddle as long as you're also repairing the leak. If you really want to support your child, you must be willing to look at and repair the leak too - which is you.
I work with children - ages 11 to 17 (tween / teenager). I recommend scheduling a free introductory call to see whether your child and my approach resonate.
I offer a New Client Session for children: 45-min at $175.00. Click Here to schedule a session for your child. After your child's first session, I recommend 30-min or 60-min sessions depending on their age.
Yep! Sessions are available over the phone or through Zoom video conferencing. Whatever works best for you. You pick.
Just as the vibration of our voices exchange over the phone, whether 2 feet or 2,000 miles away, so it is with all energy exchange - it’s not limited by distance. You and I are both part of the same field of energy. Separation is an illusion. Everyone and everything is interconnected.
You’ll receive an email confirmation of your scheduled session. I’ll also email you my Informed Consent and Payment Authorization forms via DocuSign to fill out and sign. Then, we’ll be all set for your first session. (CLICK HERE for a sample of my Informed Consent.)
Leading up to your session, you’ll receive reminder emails of your appointment. The reminders will have the link for a zoom session or contact # for phone sessions.
I recommend being in a quiet, private space for your sessions.
With zoom sessions, you have the option to have them recorded and an audio link sent to you. And, depending on the session, I’ll text you a few key points from your session and/or post-session modalities that support you.
Here's a detailed list of what's in MY TOOLBOX.
Before I started my coaching practice, I lived the 9 to 5 corporate life for 20 years working in the fields of business management & consulting, manufacturing, and the music products association with a long list of administrative, sales, marketing and professional development positions.
After I quit the corporate world, I put on my 'be your own boss' self-employed pants in the insurance industry + hustled some side bookkeeping gigs while I established my business.
It was during this time that I discovered energy-based therapies and began to experience the positive changes these tools were making in my personal and professional life. (Click here to read more about my journey.)
I started to study, take classes and eventually became certified in several methods and modalities in the fields of energy medicine and energy psychology. I also added professional coaching and applied neuroscience.
This combo is what I call Energy Health Coaching.
For the past 15 years, that’s what I bring to each and every session... along with a side of sassiness.
Profound results. I can’t exactly say how profound will translate for you. Webster’s defines it as something marked by having great understanding and insight or something deeply felt. I encourage you to read what some of my happy clients express as their profound results.
That’s totally okay! Here are a few resources to get you started…
