ENERGY MEDICINE INFORMED CONSENT
Welcome to my practice. Thank you for choosing me as a member of your wellness care team. Before we get started, I would like to give you information about my practice. Please read this statement and let me know what questions you may have.
What is Energy Medicine
WHAT IS ENERGY MEDICINE?
I am an Eden Energy Medicine Advanced Practitioner and a certified instructor of Eden Energy Medicine. Energy Medicine is an approach that involves balancing and restoring your body’s natural energies for the purposes of increasing your vitality, strengthening your mental capacities, and optimizing your health. As an Energy Medicine Practitioner, I work with subtle energies, and do not offer diagnosis, treatment or cure for any physical, mental or emotional health problem, disorder or illness, nor do I make recommendations involving pharmaceutical drugs or surgery, or handle medical emergencies. The most direct way to explain what we do is bring your unique energies into balance and provide you with tools to maintain that balance. Once the body regains that balance an individuals overall health and wellbeing fall into place. The form I use draws from Donna Eden and her book, Energy Medicine.
The techniques you will be experiencing and learning trace back to ancient healing and spiritual traditions such as acupuncture, reiki, yoga and tai chi. The form I use and teach is thoroughly modern and does not require adherence to any particular set of beliefs or practices. The core concept is that your personal wellbeing and effectiveness are directly related to the state of your body’s energies. The techniques I will be using and teaching you are based on the premise that by promoting balance and flow in the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energies, health and well being are enhanced. I assess and balance the subtle body energies of the Aura, Chakras, Meridians, Triple Warmer, Celtic Weave, Five Rhythms, Bio-Electrical System, Strange Flows, and Fundamental Energy Organizations including Grounding and Cross-Lateral Patterning. The techniques may involve the use of certain postures or movements or touching, holding, pressing upon, tracing, or circling over specified areas of the skin. They move, balance, enhance, and restore the body’s energies. I may also employ a procedure called “energy testing” (Applied Energy Kinesiology) where I apply light pressure to your outstretched arm, sometimes while you or I touch another area of your body. This is a way of assessing how your energies are flowing through specific areas of your body and help us identify the techniques that will be most beneficial for you.
Although Energy Medicine uses the term “medicine,” it does not imply that Energy Medicine practitioners are practicing medicine. Energy Medicine is a term used by many training programs that teach people how to assess and correct for energy imbalances in the body. Energy Medicine complements all other traditional medical and holistic approaches, and stands alone as a system of self-care. Energy Medicine can bring balance to the energetic patterns of physical illness along with emotional or mental distress, and can also promote high-level wellness, prevention of disorders, and peak performance. Energy Medicine attempts to optimize the body’s overall health and vitality. Energy Medicine is not a substitute for the diagnosis and/or treatment of medical or mental health conditions by a licensed health care professional. If you have a disorder that has been diagnosed by a licensed medical or mental health professional or a condition that should be evaluated by a licensed health professional, my services should be used only in conjunction with your obtaining that care. I do not diagnose or treat medical or mental health disorders, nor am I trained or licensed to do so, instead I assess individual’s energies and facilitate the healing process to help my clients regain balance, vitality, joy and overall healing.

What to expect
You are entirely unique, so the pace of your progress towards your goals will also be unique. Since the experience of wellness in body, mind and spirit has direct correlations in the subtle energy fields, addressing subtle energies has the potential to profoundly affect health. Essentially, your overall health is an inside job, and I make no claims about what your individual outcomes will be along the way. I act as an ally/facilitator on your healing journey, partnering with your energies towards healing during our sessions, and helping you discover the next steps in your process.
You are in complete control of the pace of your progress. I will teach you energy balancing techniques that you can use every day to enhance and extend the benefits of our session work. A huge benefit is clients gain a feeling of empowerment and control with their own health.
Clients remain fully clothed, and I recommend you wear comfortable, non-constrictive clothing to your sessions. I focus on energy balancing through light touch.

Note: Please fill out the intake (IHS) form prior to your session. Where is it located? Go under sessions and click on IHS intake form.
