Which Energy Healing Session Is Right for You?

Not sure which energy healing service to choose? Learn the differences between Reiki, Emotion Code, Body Code, Intuitive Energy Healing, and Bach Flower Assessments so you can find a supportive place to begin.

Not everyone begins a healing journey knowing exactly what kind of session they need.

Some people arrive with a clear goal. They may want support releasing trapped emotions, calming stress, restoring energetic balance, or exploring a specific concern.

Others simply know that something feels heavy, disconnected, or ready to change.

You may feel emotionally overwhelmed but struggle to explain why. You may notice a repeating pattern, feel unlike yourself, or sense that your body and emotions need support. You may also be curious about energy healing but unsure which service best matches what you are experiencing.

You do not need to figure everything out before booking.

Healing Energy Studio offers several types of personalized support, allowing you to choose a specific modality or begin with an Intuitive Energy Healing Session that can draw from multiple approaches.

Begin With What You Would Like Support With

Instead of asking yourself which modality you are “supposed” to choose, begin with a simpler question:

What would I like to feel differently?

Perhaps you would like to:

  • Feel calmer and less emotionally overwhelmed

  • Release emotions connected with a difficult experience

  • Understand why a pattern keeps repeating

  • Feel more grounded or connected to yourself

  • Receive support related to physical discomfort or energetic imbalance

  • Rest deeply and step away from constant demands

  • Explore personalized emotional support

  • Begin somewhere, even though you are not sure what you need

Once you understand the kind of support you are seeking, it becomes easier to choose a session.

Intuitive Energy Healing

An Intuitive Energy Healing Session is a personalized option for clients who want the session to be guided by what appears most supportive in the moment.

This is my signature blended service. Rather than following one predetermined modality, I connect with your energy and intuitively determine which approaches may best support your goals.

Depending on your needs, the session may incorporate:

  • Reiki

  • Emotion Code®

  • Body Code™

  • Chakra balancing

  • Grounding techniques

  • Eden Energy Medicine-informed practices

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine-informed energy work

  • Tuning forks or sound

  • Crystals

  • Essential oils

  • Other supportive energy-balancing approaches

No two Intuitive Energy Healing Sessions are exactly alike.

This may be the best place to begin when:

  • You are unsure which service to choose

  • You would like support in more than one area

  • You are open to a blended approach

  • You want the session to unfold according to what your energy needs

  • You prefer not to limit the session to one specific method

You can arrive with a clear intention or simply explain that you have been feeling stressed, heavy, stuck, disconnected, or out of balance.

Emotion Code Sessions

An Emotion Code Session focuses on identifying and releasing trapped emotional energy that may still be influencing how you feel, respond, or experience life.

Sometimes an emotion occurs during a stressful or painful experience but is not fully processed at the time. Within the Emotion Code system, that emotional energy may remain connected with the body’s energy field.

People often choose Emotion Code when they want support with concerns such as:

  • Emotional heaviness

  • Grief or difficult life transitions

  • Fear or worry

  • Irritability or emotional sensitivity

  • Repeating relationship patterns

  • Lack of confidence

  • Feeling stuck

  • Stress related to a past experience

  • Difficulty letting go

An Emotion Code session does not require you to retell every detail of a painful experience. This may make it a comfortable option for clients who want emotional support without feeling pressured to revisit everything verbally.

Emotion Code sessions are also available for children, teens, and animals with the appropriate parental or caregiver information and consent.

Body Code Sessions

A Body Code Session uses a broader energetic framework to identify imbalances that may be associated with emotional stress, physical discomfort, energetic blocks, or other areas of concern.

The Body Code system may explore several categories of energetic imbalance, including emotional, structural, nutritional, energetic, lifestyle-related, and other contributing areas.

Someone may choose Body Code when:

  • The concern feels broader than one emotional issue

  • Physical discomfort is part of what they want support with

  • Several areas seem connected

  • They have already received Emotion Code support and want to explore more deeply

  • They are interested in a more comprehensive energetic assessment

Body Code is not used to diagnose or treat a medical condition. It is offered as complementary energetic support and should not replace appropriate medical evaluation or treatment.

Reiki Sessions

A Reiki Session offers a gentle opportunity to slow down, rest, and receive energy-balancing support.

You remain fully clothed and rest comfortably while Reiki is facilitated through light touch, hands held above the body, or remotely from another location.

People often choose Reiki when they want:

  • Deep relaxation

  • Quiet time without needing to talk

  • Support during a stressful season

  • Greater grounding and energetic balance

  • Space to reconnect with themselves

  • A gentle introduction to energy healing

  • Rest without a highly structured emotional focus

You do not need to understand Reiki, chakras, or energy healing before scheduling.

Reiki may be especially appropriate when you feel depleted and want a session that allows you to simply rest rather than actively discuss or analyze what you are experiencing.

Sessions are available in person and remotely by Zoom.

Bach Flower Assessments

A Bach Flower Assessment is a personalized, email-based service focused on your current emotional patterns and responses.

The Bach Flower system includes 38 individual remedies traditionally associated with different emotional states. Recommendations are based on how you are experiencing a situation rather than on a diagnosis.

People often seek Bach Flower support for concerns such as:

  • Overwhelm

  • Fear or uncertainty

  • Repetitive thoughts

  • Difficulty adjusting to change

  • Discouragement

  • Lack of confidence

  • Emotional sensitivity

  • Grief

  • Feeling stuck or disconnected

The assessment questionnaire is automatically included in the booking process. After reviewing your answers, I email your personalized remedy recommendations within two days.

Assessments are available for:

  • Adults

  • Children

  • Animals

An optional custom Bach Flower blend may be added to the assessment. The selected remedies are prepared in a personalized blend and mailed to you, with shipping included.

A Bach Flower Assessment may be booked on its own or added to many other Healing Energy Studio services.

Can Modalities Be Combined?

Yes.

An Intuitive Energy Healing Session may incorporate several supportive approaches during one appointment. For example, a session might include Reiki for relaxation, Emotion Code work related to emotional stress, chakra balancing, and grounding support.

A Bach Flower Assessment remains a separate service because it requires its own questionnaire and review process. However, it may be added to another session when you would like continued emotional support through personalized remedy recommendations.

Combining services can be helpful when you want to approach a concern from more than one direction.

For example:

  • Emotion Code and Reiki: Emotional release combined with quiet relaxation

  • Body Code and Reiki: Energetic assessment followed by grounding and rest

  • Intuitive Energy Healing and a Bach Flower Assessment: Personalized session support plus ongoing emotional-wellness recommendations

  • Animal energy work and a Bach Flower Assessment: Remote energetic and emotional support based on the animal’s individual needs

The most helpful combination depends on what you are experiencing and the type of support you prefer.

Which Session Should You Choose?

Consider starting with the option that best reflects what you need right now.

Choose Intuitive Energy Healing when you are unsure where to begin or want a personalized blend of modalities.

Choose Emotion Code when you want focused support identifying and releasing trapped emotions.

Choose Body Code when you want to explore a broader range of energetic imbalances or have several connected concerns.

Choose Reiki when you want deep relaxation, energetic balance, and space to rest without needing to talk through everything.

Choose a Bach Flower Assessment when you want personalized emotional-wellness recommendations completed privately through email.

There is no wrong place to begin.

You Do Not Have to Have It All Figured Out

Many clients hesitate to book because they are worried about choosing the wrong service.

You are not expected to be an expert in energy healing before scheduling. You only need to know what you would like support with—or that you are ready for something to feel different.

Healing is not one-size-fits-all.

That is why I offer several ways to support your journey. Whether you choose a specific modality or allow an Intuitive Energy Healing Session to unfold around your needs, my intention remains the same:

To help you restore balance, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with yourself.

What to Expect During an Emotion Code Session

Curious what happens during an Emotion Code session? This step-by-step guide explains how trapped emotions are identified and released so you can feel more comfortable and confident before your first session.

If you’re curious about the Emotion Code but unsure what a session is actually like, you’re not alone. For many people, this type of energy work is new, and it’s natural to want a clear understanding of what to expect before booking a session.

My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where healing can happen in whatever way is right for you.

Here’s a step-by-step look at how an Emotion Code session with me typically unfolds.

Beginning the Session

Emotion Code sessions can be done remotely through Zoom or in person.

For remote sessions, we meet together on camera through Zoom.
For in-person sessions, you’ll lie comfortably on my massage table and simply relax.

At the start of the session, we take a few minutes to connect. If we haven’t met before, this is a chance for me to get to know you a little bit. If you’re returning for another session, we’ll talk briefly about how you’ve been feeling since the last time we worked together.

I will ask what you would like to focus on during the session. Typically, we can address up to three issues in one session.

Grounding and Setting Intention

Before we begin the energy work, I guide you through a short breathing exercise to help you get grounded and connected to your body.

From there, I energetically connect with your subconscious mind. The subconscious is incredibly intelligent and plays a central role in Emotion Code work.

I also ask your higher self for permission before beginning.

If it aligns with your personal beliefs, you are welcome to invite guides, teachers, healers, loved ones on the other side, angels, or other spiritual support to assist in the process. This is completely optional.

Emotion Code sessions with me are non-dogmatic and respectful of all belief systems. You are always encouraged to participate in whatever way feels most comfortable for you.

My role is simply to hold a supportive space for healing without judgment or expectation.

Identifying Trapped Emotions

Once I’ve connected with your energy, I use muscle testing to confirm that I’m properly linked to your subconscious.

From there, we begin identifying emotions that are ready to be released.

The Emotion Code system identifies 60 core emotions that most emotional experiences fall into. Through muscle testing, your subconscious guides us to the specific emotion that is ready to be released.

Your subconscious protects you in two important ways:

  • It can trap emotions in the moment when we’re not ready to process them.

  • It also releases them only when we are ready to let them go.

If we habitually suppress emotions, they can become trapped in the body, where they may affect us mentally, emotionally, and eventually even physically.

The goal of Emotion Code work is to release these trapped emotions without needing to relive painful or traumatic experiences.

Decoding Additional Information

Sometimes your subconscious will indicate that more information should be uncovered about the trapped emotion.

This can include things like:

  • The age when the emotion was trapped

  • Where in the body the emotion is stored

  • Which organ may be involved in producing or holding the emotion

Knowing the age can sometimes help us reconnect with a younger version of ourselves that may have felt hurt, overwhelmed, or unsupported at the time.

Understanding where the emotion is stored can also help highlight possible connections between emotional energy and physical symptoms. In some cases, this may guide someone toward seeking additional support from a physician or other healthcare provider.

Different Types of Trapped Emotions

Not all trapped emotions originate from our own experiences.

Some emotions may be:

Inherited
Passed through family lines through DNA or epigenetics. When these are released, the release can occur for the individual and sometimes for descendants as well.

Absorbed from Others
Highly empathetic people may absorb emotional energy from people around them.

Shared Emotions
These occur when two or more people experience the same event and trap the emotion at the same time.

Occasionally, the subconscious may also reveal a related life event, although this happens less frequently in my experience.

How the Emotion is Released

I typically use the sway test (also called the body pendulum) for muscle testing, though I may use other techniques depending on what feels appropriate in the moment.

These techniques are completely non-invasive, and you can remain relaxed throughout the entire process.

Once a trapped emotion is identified, it is released using energy work, Reiki, or a magnet by passing it along the Governing Meridian.

The Governing Meridian is one of the main energy pathways described in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It runs along the spine and over the top of the head and is associated with the body's energetic communication system.

By clearing energy through this pathway, the trapped emotional energy can be released from the body.

This process continues until your subconscious indicates that all emotions ready to be released during the session have been cleared, or until the session time ends.

Most sessions release at least five emotions, though sometimes a dozen or more may release.

Your subconscious will never release more than your system is ready to process.

What Happens After the Session

After a session, your body and mind will continue integrating the changes.

Most people go through a processing period of about 1–3 days.

Often this happens quietly in the background without you even noticing it.

Many people report feeling:

  • Lighter

  • Calmer

  • More peaceful

  • Happier

  • More motivated or energized

Some people with physical symptoms notice improvements in areas that had been bothering them.

Occasionally, people may experience temporary processing symptoms such as:

  • Feeling sleepy or tired

  • Emotional sensitivity

  • Mild irritability

  • Brief “echoes” of the emotions that were released

These experiences are usually temporary as the body completes the integration process.

During this time, it’s best not to schedule another Emotion Code session. Allow your body the time it needs to fully process what was released.

If any symptoms feel persistent or concerning, it may be appropriate to follow up with a physician, mental health professional, or schedule additional sessions if more emotions are ready to surface.

A Gentle Process of Letting Go

Emotion Code sessions are designed to help release emotional energy without needing to relive painful memories.

Every session is unique, and the process always unfolds according to what your subconscious feels ready to release.

My intention is always to support you in creating more space for balance, healing, and emotional freedom.

Ready to Experience an Emotion Code Session?

If you’ve been feeling stuck emotionally, overwhelmed, or simply curious about how trapped emotions may be affecting your well-being, an Emotion Code session may be a gentle and supportive place to start.

Whether we meet in person or remotely, the goal is always the same: to help your body release emotional energy it no longer needs to carry so you can move forward with greater balance, clarity, and ease.

If you’ve been thinking about trying a session, this is a great time to begin.
