How to Find the Right Energy Healer Columbus

Energy Healing Columbus

Energy Healer Columbus

If you were a client looking for an energy healer, maybe the best way you would likely approach the search is methodically, considering a blend of practical steps and personal intuition. Here’s how you might want to go about finding someone:

1. Identify My Needs and Preferences

  • Specific Healing Type of Energy Healer: I’d start by identifying what kind of healing I’m seeking. Energy healing encompasses many approaches, like Energy Healing from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, Reiki, chakra balancing, Qi Gong, sound healing, or crystal healing. Understanding preferences (and any existing knowledge or experiences with energy work) would help narrow down the field.
  • Intentions for Healing: Whether I’m dealing with physical ailments, emotional blockages, spiritual growth, or stress management, having clear intentions helps in choosing the right practitioner. Each energy healer is unique and offers an individualized open path to support you.

2. Research Online and Ask for Recommendations

  • Online Search: I’d start by looking for energy healers in my area through search engines, social media, and websites that focus on holistic health. Websites like Yelp, Google Reviews, or specialized holistic health directories are good places to begin.
  • Ask for Referrals: Word of mouth is powerful, so I’d ask friends, family, or other trusted individuals who might have worked with energy healers. Local communities or metaphysical shops might also offer recommendations.

3. Check Credentials and Experience

  • Qualifications: I would want to ensure the energy healer is qualified in the specific modality they’re offering. While certification and attending a professional school isn’t always required, it usually does indicate a level of training and expertise. There are various professional bodies or schools that offer training.
  • Experience: I’d look at how long they’ve been practicing, as experience can often make a big difference in effectiveness. Personal testimonials or reviews from other clients would also help me gauge their track record.

4. Evaluate Their Approach and Energy

  • Initial Consultation: I’d try to schedule a consultation or discovery call to get a feel for their approach. This would be a chance to ask questions about their healing methods, their philosophy, and what to expect during a session. It would also allow me to get a sense of their energy—whether I feel comfortable, understood, and aligned with their style.
  • Vibe Check: Healing is deeply personal, so I’d pay attention to how I feel around the practitioner. A sense of trust, openness, and safety is key. Energy healing is often an intuitive process, so if I don’t feel a connection during this first interaction, I’d look elsewhere.

5. Look for Specialization and Focus

  • Area of Expertise: Some energy healers specialize in certain areas, such as trauma healing, stress relief, chronic pain, or emotional clearing. Depending on what I’m looking for, I’d seek out someone with experience in my specific area of concern.
  • Holistic Approach: I might look for someone who integrates other aspects of healing—such as nutrition, meditation, or coaching—if I feel that could complement my healing journey.

6. Check Logistics and Practicalities

  • Location and Accessibility: If I’m looking for an in-person session, proximity would matter. If remote healing is available, that opens up more options.
  • Session Cost: I’d consider the cost of a session and ensure it fits my budget. Some practitioners offer sliding scale fees or package deals for multiple sessions, which might be helpful if I’m committing to a longer-term healing process. Healers can work for free, but some charge close to $1000.00 for a session.
  • Scheduling and Availability: Flexibility in scheduling and how soon I can get in would also play a part in my decision. Some practitioners may have long waitlists, and that’s a good indicator of their popularity and demand.

7. Trust My Intuition

  • Gut Feeling: After all the research, I’d trust my instincts. Energy work is deeply personal, and a healer-client relationship often hinges on mutual trust and comfort. If something feels off, I’d be open to trying a different practitioner.
  • Ongoing Feedback: After the first session, I’d check in with myself about how I feel. Energy healing often brings up emotional shifts or physical sensations, so assessing my experience and whether I feel a tangible benefit would help me decide whether to continue or seek someone else.

By combining a rational approach (research, qualifications, and practicalities) with personal intuition (trust, comfort, and feeling drawn to a healer), I would seek out someone who feels aligned with my healing journey, whether that’s through direct, in-person work or remote support.

If you would like to find out more about finding the best energy healer for you in the Columbus area, I’d be happy to set up a 15 minute consultation to see how we match up. I would love to support you in your process.

How to Calm Your Mind

How to Calm Your Mind

craniosacral massage

To Calm the mind is essential for both mental and physical well-being. Fortunately you have come to the right place to discover a dynamic person to person modality that can help you feel more centered and at peace.

 

Craniosacral Therapy (CST)is a gentle hands on modality, which awakens the calm inside, through listening and melding with your Craniosacral System.  By tapping into your own internal intelligence, CST  helps to bring balance and deep relaxation into your life. Finding the stillpoint in your rhythm releases, and helps integrate your stresses- bringing you into a more peaceful state of being.

How can Craniosacral Therapy Help You to Live from a Calm State?  It:

1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

When the mind is calm, it helps to lower the levels of stress hormones like cortisol. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. By calming your mind, you create space for a sense of peace and relaxation, which can significantly reduce anxiety levels and improve overall emotional health.

2. Improves Focus and Clarity

A cluttered mind often leads to scattered thoughts, making it difficult to concentrate or make decisions. To calm the mind helps clear out distractions and promotes mental clarity, enabling you to focus better on tasks, think more effectively, and make decisions with greater ease.

3. Enhances Emotional Regulation

When your mind is calm, you’re better equipped to handle difficult emotions. Instead of reacting impulsively or being overwhelmed by emotions like anger or frustration, a calm mind allows you to respond thoughtfully and with control, leading to healthier interactions and relationships.

4. Boosts Physical Health

Chronic mental tension can manifest in physical ailments such as headaches, muscle tension, or digestive problems. By calming the mind, you help reduce the impact of stress on your body, which can lead to improved sleep, better immune function, and overall physical health.  You feel more deeply grounded and embodied.

5. Increases Creativity

When the mind is relaxed, it becomes more open to creative ideas and inspiration. Mental calmness reduces the mental barriers and judgment that can stifle creativity, allowing new ideas and solutions to emerge naturally. It creates a fertile ground for innovation and problem-solving.

6. Promotes Mindfulness and Presence

A peaceful mind fosters mindfulness, which is the practice of being fully present in the moment. This enhances your ability to enjoy life, engage in meaningful experiences, and build stronger connections with others. It helps you savor the simple joys of life and reduces the tendency to dwell on past regrets or future worries.

7. Supports Mental Resilience

A relaxed mind is a strong foundation for mental resilience. By practicing mindfulness or calming techniques, you build the mental fortitude to face challenges with a clear perspective. When your mind is calm, you’re more able to adapt to difficult situations, stay grounded, and maintain emotional balance, even in times of adversity.

In summary, Craniosacral Therapy is such a gentle, yet profound pathway to calming the mind.  The benefits are numerous.  It isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a powerful tool for enhancing your overall well-being, improving relationships, and fostering long-term mental and physical health.

What is Something New You Learned about Yourself Lately?

What is Something New You Learned about Yourself Lately?

Awakening

Awakening Yourself

To Awaken to yourself is the most powerful thing you can do. Feeling confident about your life, and the choices you make shape everything. Unburdening yourself from limitations is freeing.

Often people who come in for Craniosacral Therapy can feel stressed, a bit lost, anxious, or in pain. Something feels off, and the person may not understand why they feel the way they do. Maybe there are pieces under the level of consciousness- stored in the cellular memory. Working through the mind body connection can be quite powerful.

Craniosacral can help ground you more firmly into your life.

Working with a Craniosacral Therapist can shift everything.  Some of the ways this can happen in a session are:

1.  Presence:  The holding of neutral space creates trust and safety.

2.  Respecting boundaries helps define you and your comfort level.

3.  Craniosacral Therapy taps into the Craniosacral System which nourishes and keeps the Nervous System Healthier and in balance.

4.   Certified Techniques and Skill level can release and help integrate old wounding and trauma. This makes space for potential awakening to knowing oneself more deeply.  it can bring more meaning to life.

5.  An Experienced Craniosacral Therapist supports the Awakening Process by training with open dialogue which is centered on Self-Discovery.  Ask about SomatoEmotional Release Work.

Craniosacral Therapy takes an Osteopathic approach to manual therapy.  It focuses on trusting your body to find the internal discovery and healing processes within.

If you feel you have tried so many things but nothing helps, giving Craniosacral Therapy a change may help shift you into a Light Awakening.  It’s so gentle, yet profound.

One of the best things that you can learn about yourself is Self-Empowerment through curiosity, and sensing into your own body and sense of Self.

What have you learned about yourself and what can help you move forward as you continue to open up?

Remembering Your Life Purpose: Craniosacral Therapy

Remembering Your Life Purpose: Craniosacral Therapy

Find Your Life Purpose

Looking for a way to find a meaningful purpose in your life?  Before you can set your intention and organize, you have to figure out your passion!  Here are three things to consider which can help you deepen into clarity:

1.  Ask yourself what brought you joy when your were little?  Not necessarily your best talents, but instead-the things that brought a smile to your face.  On a soul level, right from the start we know what lights us up.  Until maybe someone perhaps tried to steer you off course based on their point of view. Take some time to meditate and remember who You are.  You were born with an internal roadmap for self-discovery and purpose. Now you need to discard anything that stops you from knowing your true Self.

2.  Craniosacral Therapy can help. Often in life, we get distracted with all the other paths put before us. We are told many stories, and pulled in so many directions. Sometimes, we forget what matters most to us. Reconnect to Yourself.

If you want to get grounded and feel more embodied, one helpful option is receiving Craniosacral Therapy. Many clients who come into my practice are stressed. Often I see people who are neurodivergent thinkers. Some are feeling lost, living with constant anxiety, and feeling stuck in learned limited belief systems which can rev up the nervous system. In vulnerable times, another “listening” support system can facilitate change and healing.

Craniosacral Therapy is very helpful in bringing health and balance to the mind, body and spirit connection.  For people feeling anxious and overwhelmed, they usually end up feeling much calmer after a session. For those who are stuck or noticing “ftozen blocks, this work can help mobilize and bring more flow into life.

Craniosacral Therapy is a safe and nurturing manual therapy.  In the higher levels of training, we are trained to support trauma release and integration of detrimental cellular memory.  We create sacred space for your body to inform us what is needed in the moment to move onward with more harmony and clarity. Knowing yourself naturally awakens your purpose and calling.

3.  Gather resources and take action.  How you decide to live in your passion is up to you.  It doesn’t have to look like anyone else. Your uniqueness and special creativity is meant for you to fly. It’s all about getting aligned with your energy to build the life that brings meaning and purpose to your soul.  Life is too short to live any other way.

Through life, we go through many different transitions. Being mildful and in healthy relationships brings ease as we move from one experience into another..Especially when your relationship to yourself is strong, clear and unfolding in a way that awakens your true longing. 

You came here to share your gifts with great purpose!

How to Move Effortlessly Through Life

How to Move Effortlessly Through Life

Ease

Grounding:  Move Effortlessly with Grace

Move Effortlessly. It’s easy to escape the moment. To not be fully present. The mind easily wanders into the past with regrets and guilt. Undoubtably it moves forward with worry and anticipation as well. This is to be human.

However, what if there is a way to engage with life more deeply and fully?

I was reading FB today and came across a beautiful post about grounding.  I feel it’s so important to connect to the earth.  She supports us and nourishes us continuously.  We are made of the earth, and she lives within all that we are.  So I am including this writing by “Lowen”  to share here.  Let go of your burdens my friends…  Discover Your Human Body.

Lowen is credited with coining the word “grounding” in the physiological and psychological sense and emphasizing it’s importance in human development. I believe it has now become a term widely understood (if not precisely understood) in the broader pop culture.

“Once he is grounded, a person no longer holds himself up but allows the ground to support him. By coming down to earth, he finds that his blood pressure also drops. But effecting that kind of change requires a commitment to the body and to a way of life that respects the body and it’s needs.

 

Unfortunately, our culture is moving away from the body as the source of feeling and spirituality. Our fitness programs are not designed to enhance the sensitivity of the body but to hone it as if it were a machine. In so doing, they produce people who are fit only to run the race of life. I suppose that if reaching the top is one’s goal in life, our modern-day fitness programs may help. But if one’s goal is to experience the joy of being fully alive, the excitement of feeling part of this pulsating universe, and the deep satisfaction of being a person who is both graceful and gracious, one must turn elsewhere.

When I was a young man, being “earthy” was regarded as a virtue. I never hear anyone descibed that way anymore. Has the quality of having one’s feet on the ground lost its meaning? I believe it has. The modern individual is more properly described as “flying high and fast”. It is hard to slow down when the world is racing by. It is difficult to be grounded when the culture itself is ungrounded, when it denies reality and promotes an illusion that success represents a higher state of being and successful people live richer and more fulfilling lives. All the same, the real values of life are “earthy” values: health, gracefulness, connectedness, pleasure and love. But these values have meaning only if one’s feet are planted firmly on the ground.”

Feel Young as You Get Older with the Cobra Pose

Feel Young as You Get Older with the Cobra Pose

Cobra Pose for those Shortened Soft Tissues-

As we get older, often we lose the natural curvature of our spine. Gravity pulls us downward and often we end up out of alignment anteriorly and posteriorly as well. Our doctors often recommend exercise which is a great beginning. Massage, Craniosacral Therapy,  and other forms of Bodywork can be very helpful too. But there is something you can do to feel young that is easy to do right at home in just about 5-10 minutes a day that will help you quite a bit.  

How about spending a little time with the Cobra Pose to self-correct your posture and open up your energy flow!

Begin Cobra by lying down on your stomach with the legs extended. Place your hands fairly close to your body parallel and slowly lift your body off the ground. Continue to lift higher, but only in comfort with a light stretch.Hold the stretch as long as you feel release for up to 30 seconds. If anything feels like it is too much, move back to the ground and relax and try again when you feel rested.

Stretching

 

Cobra Pose for Posture: A 5-Minute Stretch to Feel Younger

Cobra Pose is a gentle backbend that lengthens the front of your body and relaxes tight back muscles, helping you stand taller and move more freely. It takes only 5-10 minutes a day, and you can do it at home on the floor or a firm bed.

Why posture changes as we age

Many of my clients come in with painful necks and lower backs. Those two areas tend to shorten and become the weakest link in posture. Often a shortened psoas muscle plays a part, but usually the fascia along the front of the body has tightened from the feet to the top of the head.

Most of our daily activities, like driving, desk work, and looking at phones, pull us forward. Cobra Pose does the opposite. It moves you into a gentle backward curve, which restores balance.

Your first step: Cobra Pose at home

Your doctor may have recommended exercise, which is a great beginning., craniosacral therapy, and other bodywork can also help a great deal. But Cobra is something you can do today, on your own schedule.

  1. Lie on your stomach with your legs extended.
  2. Place your hands close to your body, parallel, under your shoulders.
  3. Slowly lift your chest off the ground. Keep lifting only as long as it feels comfortable, with a light stretch.
  4. Hold for up to 30 seconds, as long as you feel a release.
  5. Lower down and rest if anything feels like too much. Try again when you feel rested.

Gentle beats forceful

In many yoga classes, we’re led to push the stretch. If you’re in discomfort, I invite you to do the opposite. Don’t go all the way. Go into the stretch gently, listen to your body, and stay where it feels good.

I’ve found that when the body isn’t overtaxed, its defense mechanisms relax, and more tissue releases and spreads throughout the whole body. Comfort is what makes this work.

What you may notice

If you practice Cobra Pose routinely, you may begin to see changes in how you stand and feel each day. The front of your body lengthens, the muscles along your back relax, and your posture can become more upright and easier to maintain.

Want more support?

Cobra Pose is a great daily habit, but sometimes your body needs hands-on help to release what stretching alone can’t reach. If you’re dealing with neck pain, low back tightness, or posture that just won’t budge, craniosacral therapy in Columbus can work alongside your home practice to release deep tension gently.

Learn more about my approach or call me at 614-653-8111 to talk about what your body needs.

Frequently asked questions

How long should I hold Cobra Pose?
Up to 30 seconds, or as long as you feel a release. Stop sooner if the stretch becomes uncomfortable.

How often should I do it?
A few minutes a day is enough. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Is Cobra Pose good for lower back and neck tension?
Many people find it helpful because it lengthens the front of the body and relaxes the muscles along the back. Keep the stretch gentle and comfortable.

Who should avoid it?
If you have spinal issues, recent surgery, or any health concern, check with your physician first.

The takeaway

As we age, we don’t have to limit our movements. We have a choice to move freely, and Cobra Pose is one easy way to reclaim your range of motion. Want to feel young? Then live young!
