Chakra Energy Healing in Columbus, Ohio: One Tool in a Whole-Person Session
People often call me asking for "chakra healing" as if it were a separate service. It isn't, at least not the way I work. Chakra energy healing is one form of energy work, and it is one of several tools I bring to a session. Because I am trained and certified in more than one method, I can combine chakra balancing with hands-on bodywork and other energy techniques, depending on what you need that day. This is what I mean when I say my sessions are holistic healing therapy: the whole person, not one system at a time.
Here is how chakra work fits into that, and what it looks like in my Worthington office or in a long-distance session by phone or online.
What Chakra Energy Healing Is
In many healing traditions, the body has a series of energy centers called chakras. The seven main ones run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, and each is linked to a part of the body and to a part of life: safety and grounding, creativity and relationships, personal power, love and grief, voice and truth, insight, and connection to something larger than yourself.
When life has been hard, or a loss or injury has not fully healed, a chakra can feel closed down, overactive, or simply out of step with the others. Chakra energy healing is the practice of sensing those centers and helping them open, settle, and work together again. In my Brennan Healing Science training, we studied the chakras and the human energy field in depth, and this is the foundation for the energy work I do today.
Why I Don't Stop at the Chakras
A chakra does not exist on its own. It sits in a body with fascia, organs, a nervous system, and a history. If I balance an energy center but the tissue around it is still braced from an old accident, or the nervous system is still on alert, the shift may not hold. So I pay attention to all of it.
Over the years I have trained and certified in several methods, and I combine them in a single session:
- Craniosacral therapy (Upledger CST-D) — gentle, light-touch work with the membranes and fluid around the brain and spinal cord, which calms the nervous system so energy work can settle in.
- SomatoEmotional Release — helping the body let go of the emotional residue it stores after stress, injury, or loss, which often shows up as a blocked heart or solar plexus center.
- Visceral manipulation (Barral) — freeing restrictions around the organs, which matter for the lower chakras and for digestion, pelvic health, and breath.
- Structural integration — working with fascia and posture so the body can hold itself in balance and energy can move freely.
- Reiki — a gentle, hands-on or hands-off energy method that pairs well with chakra balancing.
- Somatic, trauma-informed touch — going slowly and staying with what your body can handle, so the work feels safe.
I don't run through all of these in every session. I listen, feel, and choose. Sometimes a session is mostly chakra and energy-field work; sometimes we spend most of the hour with hands-on craniosacral therapy and finish with a few minutes of energy balancing. The combination is what makes it whole-person work.
What a Chakra Energy Healing Session Feels Like
You stay fully clothed and lie comfortably on the table. We talk briefly about what is going on for you. Then I begin to sense your energy field and chakras, usually with my hands resting lightly on or just above the body. As I notice where energy is stuck, overcharged, or thin, I work to clear and balance it, and I bring in the bodywork methods above wherever the body is asking for them.
People describe warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, emotions surfacing and passing, or simply a quiet they haven't felt in a long time. Afterward many feel lighter and more grounded, and some notice changes over the following days as the body integrates the work.

Chakra Balancing at a Distance
Energy work does not require that we be in the same room. I offer long-distance energy healing sessions by phone or online, and chakra balancing is a natural fit for them. You rest at home, we stay connected by phone or online, and I work with your energy field and chakras just as I would in the office. Many of my clients benefit from both: in-person sessions when they want the hands-on bodywork, and long-distance sessions when travel is hard or they simply prefer to be at home.
Who This Helps
People come to me for chakra and energy work when they feel stuck, drained, or disconnected from themselves; when grief, stress, or an old trauma seems to live in the body; when they are recovering from illness or injury and want support beyond the physical; or when they want a quieter, more grounded way of being in the world. If you have been looking for energy healing in Columbus, Ohio and want someone who can also work with the body, this is the kind of session I offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chakra energy healing a separate service, or part of a regular session?
It is part of a regular session. I combine chakra and energy-field work with craniosacral therapy, SomatoEmotional Release, visceral manipulation, structural integration, and Reiki as needed. You don't have to choose one; I choose what fits you that day.
Do I need to believe in chakras for it to help?
No. You only need to be willing to lie down, breathe, and notice what you feel. Many of my clients are simply looking for relief and relaxation and are surprised by how much shifts.
How many sessions does chakra balancing take?
Some people feel a clear change after one session. Deeper or long-standing patterns usually benefit from a series, often spaced a few weeks apart. We talk about this together after your first visit.
Can chakra healing be done long distance?
Yes. Chakra and energy-field work carries over very well to a long-distance session by phone or online. People benefit from both in-person and distance sessions, and many do a mix.
Is this a replacement for medical care?
No. Chakra energy healing and bodywork support your overall wellbeing and work alongside the care you receive from your doctor or therapist, not instead of it.
