Frequently Asked Questions

Emotion/Body Code:
Different people believe different things regarding energy. Albert Einstein said “What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” Consider the possibility that everything you see and interact with in your life; from the more dense form of a rock to the felt experience of a thought or emotion - everything is either entirely comprised of or has a component of various vibrational frequencies or ‘energy’.
When the realities of our lived experience and the inherited baggage of our ancestral lineage are hard to process, our bodies store this unprocessed information (for example; traumas, beliefs, frequencies, energies of different kinds) until we are able to process and release them. The unprocessed/unreleased information stored and held in our bodies can be unbalancing and disruptive to the free flow of communication between all our ‘parts’ and systems. Just like our human relationships, if there is a breakdown in communication between these different aspects of ourselves that aren’t addressed, the relationship will struggle to be healthy.
As an Emotion/Body Code practitioner, when I work with a client, I quickly identify, or ‘decode’ the layers of trapped energy in their body that need attention. Using the Body Code this also includes addressing disconnections / misalignments / imbalances with the power of intention. The decoding process uses the guidance of your energy body through an advanced form of muscle testing. Once a client has given permission, I speak directly with my client’s energy body and receive ‘yes’/’no’ answers to my questions. This process quickly leads me to the layers of trapped frequencies that are of the highest priority to release to best help the symptoms that the client is struggling with and wants to address.
Compassion Key:
Edward Mannix - the creator of the ‘Compassion Key’ has said that self compassion is the most powerful healing force on the planet.
This modality is more participatory than the Emotion/Body Code modalities and works with the guidance of physical, emotional and memory feedback from the client in relation to the concern the client wants to address.
Through compassionate exploration of the physical sensations, thoughts, emotions and memories that come up for a client when connecting with the area of concern in their lives, I guide the client through a series of self compassion clearing statements. We follow the trail of this feedback and guidance pointing to past memories and wounded aspects of ourselves in this lifetime or past lifetimes, that are ready to receive the compassion they didn’t or couldn’t before, and then be integrated back in.
The Compassion Key works directly with the client’s conscious and subconscious belief root structures. Some people also refer to this root structure as ‘karmic imprints’. They are unhelpful subjective conclusions our subconscious has taken on as ‘truth’, usually because a trauma, wounding or hard experience has taken place in this life or past lives. These unhelpful subjective conclusions are like a shadow in our lives distorting the way we see things, experience life and ultimately how we show up in the world.

As a new client your first session will be the 60 (*but can be up to 90 minute) ‘New Client’ session where you and I will be able to talk about your goals and concerns you have and answer any questions. It will also include your first actual session.
After your first ‘New Client’ session is complete you will be able to book an ‘Established Client’ session (either an Emotion/Body Code or Compassion Key session) that is 45 minutes (*but can be up to an hour), where we will be able to have a few minutes to check in, revisit your goals for the session and have time for a full length session.
I facilitate all sessions virtually. Once you book your first (or subsequent sessions) a zoom link will be included in your confirmation email. Use the zoom link to join me for your session on the day/time you have booked.
After every session is complete, within 24 hours you will receive a follow-up email from me. I like to check to see how your processing time is going and answer any questions that may have come up for you since your last session. If you had an Emotion/Body Code session then the email will also contain your notes from the session of what was decoded and released/realigned/reconnected/or rebalanced, if you want them. Receiving the notes is optional.

Completion of my Compassion Key certification is very recent. When working with a new client, especially for the first time, I think it’s important we begin with the Emotion/Body Code modality because I have extensive experience with it. It’s important to me that we get a ‘good start’ and begin with the modality I am most proficient and practiced at.

We are all different. What one person experiences after a session will be different from someone else who is working on the exact same type of concern. However there are some common experiences I have observed that can occur after a session.
Processing: Processing time is the time it takes your physical body to process the Emotion/Body Code: releases / reconnections / rebalancing / realignments (depending on what is needed) or Compassion Key: releases / clearings and integration(s) - after they have taken place in a session. Processing time is usually anywhere from 1 to 8 days. Processing is different for each person and can also vary from session to session for the same individual.
Directly after a session is complete, some people have reported feeling ‘lighter’. Others have reported feeling tired and ready for a nap! Either experience can then be followed by a period of time (usually the remainder of the session day or up to 24 hrs) of feeling lethargic and/or irritable. This is called processing symptoms but not everyone experiences them, and if a person doesn’t experience processing symptoms it is important to note that that doesn’t mean the session wasn’t effective. All it means is everyone processes differently.
Some people report symptoms of the concern they are working on getting temporarily worse (usually lasting anywhere from 12 - 24 hrs) and then getting better. Others report symptoms diminishing by half or more within 24 hrs or continuing to change and ultimately fade over the following days or weeks. Some concerns for some clients can take many sessions to begin to see the improvement they are looking for. Others notice things change seconds after a release / reconnection / realignment / rebalancing / clearing / integration - (depending on what is needed).
What if symptoms go away and then come back? This is actually good information. It means you are going in the right direction. Your body is saying ‘Hey, this is working and here’s a little proof! But I have more I need to (Emotion/Body Code): release / reconnect / realign / rebalance, (Compassion Key): release / clear / integrate — so please keep going !!’ I have experienced this multiple times with myself and clients.

This is a good time to outline some important details. I am not a doctor or a therapist and I do not and can not guarantee a specific outcome for anyone including myself. I am an Emotion/Body Code and Compassion Key Practitioner and only facilitate sessions using these modalities I am certified in.
Some of the following celebrations and successes required just one or two sessions while others needed many. Here is a list of some of the issues that I have witnessed being either almost completely or completely resolved and not returning:
Emotion/Body Code:
Intermittent neck pain lasting decades
Itchy rash, red swollen small bumps all over trunk of body
Red, swollen itchy bumps all over hands and fingers
Pain at the base of skull experienced intermittently for over 2 decades
Toe pain
Hot flashes and night sweats
Cyst on neck below the ear
Cyst on upper chest
Eye pain
Shoulder and chest feeling constricted to the point of trouble breathing
Upper thigh numbness and pain
Sudden onset of head pain/headache lasting days
Bladder urgency and irritation, unexplained urological heat
Vaginal irritation and itching
Tooth pain
Back pain
Groin pain
A runner with painful hip irritation and sciatica who previously had to stop running
Dramatic and accelerated processing of grief from a maternal relationship after decades of not being able to heal and move forward from it
Moderate to severe cradle cap persisting for almost a decade
Arthritic pain in finger joint of left hand
Intermittent heart palpitations and discomfort
Chronic acid reflux
Unable to wear wedding ring due to suspected allergy - red swollen, itchy skin
Compassion Key:
The following list is not as long as the celebrations I have been a part of through the Emotion/Body Code modality because I have only recently been certified in the Compassion Key. However, I am excited and delighted by the undeniable positive impact this modality has had with myself and others.
Major diminishment of anxiety and depression
Significant reduction in a persistent feeling of ‘not being good enough’
Complete clarity on ‘life purpose’ and an ability to move forward with manifesting it quickly through putting into action all the ‘details’ with joy and ease.

Sometimes people ask me if they will need to stop taking medications/supplements or stop doing the other modalities/therapies/ or procedures they are doing or have been prescribed to them by their doctors/therapists/practitioners in order to begin sessions with these modalities. The answer is absolutely not. These other relationships, and the guidance they provide, are important.
It’s also important to note, these modalities should never be used in a crisis situation. If I were to fracture my leg for example, I would head straight to the emergency room and would rely on the doctors and nurses to help me with my leg. The same goes for a mental health crisis. That kind of situation requires the support of trained professionals in that field.
Energy work shines when you have some stability in your life. Using the fractured leg example again, after my leg was set and the crisis was over, that’s when I would turn my attention to energy work for post-crisis/trauma support, accelerated healing, and to address anything that could be causing that part of my body to be more vulnerable to physical impact than is ‘normal’. These modalities shine when you feel ready to clear out, process and move on from past and/or inherited experiences, traumas or wounding in your life that you feel are holding you back.
