Frequently Asked Questions

What is Advanced Integrative Energy Healing?

Advanced Integrative Energy Healing (AIEH) is a gentle, holistic and empowering therapeutic modality. It focuses on the clients body-based somatic sensations and the practitioners’ sense of their human energy field as the foundation for treatments.


The goal of AIEH sessions are to empower each client to be an active part in their own healing process. Client are supported to connect with their own inner wisdom by bringing awareness to their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy. Sessions allow for balance and flow in the clients biofield by facilitating the clearing of any stuck or dense energies that may hinder energetic flow.

What to expect in an AIEH session?

We will complete an intake where you will have the opportunity to share your health history. We will discuss and set your intention for the session. Client will lay down on massage table fully clothed and practitioner will scan the client’s energy field. A treatment will be completed (hands on or off depending on client’s preference). De-briefing of client’s insight and co-creating self-care practice.

How many AIEH sessions will I require?

It depends on the individual and their condition. We can discuss this during your intake. For chronic or complex conditions clients notice the best results when they attend 5 to 7 sessions. This amount of time allows for a deeper level of work to take place. For a specific goal fewer sessions can have the desired outcome. 


Self-care practices outside of sessions will allow clients to make deeper and longer lasting shifts. After each AIEH session we will co-create a self-care practice specific to your needs.

What is the difference between Advanced Integrative Energy Work and Reiki?

There are many different kinds of healing modalities out there and it is important to find a practitioner and modality that is a good fit for you. Reiki and AIEH both work with energy but they have different training requirements. Read more about the differences below.

    Reiki was initially how I became interested in working with people energetically and I completed my first two levels of Reiki in Seattle. During this time I was working in social services overseeing homes for children placed in care of MCFD with complex needs. As a sensitive child myself I was really curious about how many of these children I worked with seemed to be sensitive to subtle changes in their environments and very aware of things unspoken. I had a desire to learn more and found the Advanced Integrative Energy Healing program at Langara College in Vancouver.


    During my program we completed over 700 hours of training and completed close to 300 individual AIEH sessions for clients, 100 of which were supervised at clinics. Some of the clinics I worked at included St. Paul’s hospital, Pacifica Treatment Centre and West Vancouver seniors Centre. I also completed 5 case studies for clients with more complex health needs and an internship at Pacifica Treatment Centre.


    Initially I was drawn into the spiritual aspects of energy work but through our training I became equally fascinated with the somatic based work we learned. Somatic therapies recognize that our bodies hold and express experiences, emotions and traumatic events. When I started using the combination of both energy work and somatic work I found I was able to help people go much deeper and co-create opportunity for profound healing. The AIEH program brings together eastern teachings with western science and works with people as a whole: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

What types of conditions does Advanced Integrative Energy Work treat?

AIEH sessions can be a benefit to many issues. I often see clients with C-PTSD, PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. I also see clients who seek out this type of work when they have had a frustrating experience feeling misunderstood in the medical system.

    I enjoy working with people experiencing CPTSD and PTSD symptoms because I’ve seen how this modality can really help. I also have experience working with clients who have grown up in a dysfunctional household and are now parents themselves having to unlearn patterns and show up for their kid(s) in a way that they have not experienced themselves.


    This modality of healing is complementary to other medical treatment methods, like counselling, massage and physiotherapy.

How will I feel after the session?

After a first session clients usually report to feel relaxed, grounded and lighter. There can also be emotions that start as physical sensations in the body and then once client bring awareness into this area can be acknowledged and released. Clients often report to have a decrease in overall stress and pain in their bodies. 


As sessions progress and clients work to release frozen or stuck energy and negative belief systems, it allows connection to their higher self and to experience a sense of connection and hope. As this happens the human energy field becomes stronger and balanced. The human energy field reflects what is happening in your physical body so as we clear dense energy we also promote the healing process for your physical body.
