Frequently Asked Questions~

What is “energy”? 

Science is now acknowledging that we each have our own naturally occurring electromagnetic field.  This is often referred to as our “energy” field. 

What is energy healing?

Holistic health is an approach to wellness that addresses all aspects of a person including their physical body, emotions and true essence.  Energy healing is a branch of holistic health encompassing various techniques which focus on removing blocks in energy (Life force) so that the body and mind can function optimally.  These techniques are, for the most part, gentle, non-invasive and complementary to traditional medical care.

What does it mean when I don’t feel well? 

Imagine the energy in your body flowing freely and smoothly, similar to a stream.  We experience this as health.  When something happens that blocks the flow of this energy regardless of the cause, it is often expressed by the body as some type of “dis-ease.”  However, when the energy blocks are removed, the body is then able to heal naturally on its own.

What is “innate wisdom”? 

This refers to your body’s ability to know exactly what it needs at any moment in time, including what it needs for healing to take place.  It is accessed through the use of muscle testing.

What is “muscle testing”?  

This is a very simple biofeedback technique.  With the permission of the client, Cheryl applies light pressure to particular muscles and then asks specific yes/no questions.  It is through the response of these muscles that she is able to access your “innate wisdom.” 

What do I need to wear?  

As a client, you will be the most comfortable wearing loose and non-binding clothing.

Which techniques are used in the session?

The techniques used are those which the client’s bodymind requests through the use of muscle testing in order to achieve the client’s desired results. 

Some of these techniques include:

Reiki – This is an ancient healing technique using healing energy of a very high frequency. A treatment consists of the practitioner placing her hands on specific areas of the client’s head and torso. The client often becomes very relaxed and experiences a pleasant, warm sensation. 

For additional information, please visit www.reiki.org 

BodyTalk – This is a technique based on the understanding that a person’s body, mind and emotions function best when the organs, tissues, muscles and glands are in communication with each other (synchronized).  Using muscle testing and a specific protocol of questions, Cheryl is able to identify the specific body parts or systems requesting synchronization.  Then, using gentle tapping over the head and heart, communication is repaired and the new information is stored throughout the body.

Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) – TAT is a healing method which uses specific  hand and finger positions to highlight a specific acupuncture point and the vision center of the brain while the client focuses on a sequence of specific thoughts.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – EFT consists of the client thinking of an emotional or physical concern while tapping on a sequence of specific acupuncture points.
