Connecting Mind and Spirit

Energy Psychology

Energy psychology is a mind-body approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with energy-based practices. This transformative model sits at the intersection of modern psychology, metaphysics, ancient Vedic philosophies, and traditional Chinese health practices. It is based on the belief that mental, physical, and emotional wellness return when the body’s energy systems are brought into balance. Using an energy-informed framework increases clarity along multiple dimensions of human experience.

Therapy

Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT)

AIT is a gentle somatic (body-based) therapy technique for the release of tension or trauma stored in the body. It combines cognitive-behavioral theory, Buddhist philosophy, and somatic practices. The goal of AIT is to release traumatic material (which can include memories, thought patterns, emotions, inherited beliefs, and physical sensations) from the body’s energetic system to restore balance.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFT (tapping) is a holistic, evidence-based practice that you can do on your own - anywhere, anytime. Similar to acupuncture or acupressure, this technique uses traditional Chinese medicine concept of meridians to restore energetic balance. It is a noninvasive, nonpharmaceutical approach to trauma and stress with no side effects.

Chakra-Informed Psychotherapy

Therapy is guided by the understanding that balance is restored by identifying and releasing psychological and emotional blocks associated with energy centers. Chakra-informed psychotherapy integrates ancient Vedic philosophies and modern psychology. It is uniquely designed to address unbalances. This personalized and transformative approach includes evidence-based therapy approaches along with complementary techniques to create deeper clarity and balance.

Why Energy-Informed Therapy?

“Your body is not a machine; it’s a living process. When you listen to it with presence and kindness, it will tell you everything you need to know.” Ann Weiser Cornell

Psychotherapy often focuses on thoughts and emotions, with some awareness of physical sensations. But, what if we listened to the intuitive wisdom of ancient teachings and our own bodies? This is exactly the aim of energy psychology.

Energy-informed psychotherapy is a transformative and integrative therapy. Emerging evidence - from the fields of neuroscience and psychophysiology - suggests that energy-informed psychotherapy may reduce cortisol levels, alleviate stress/trauma reactions, and increase emotional resilience.

Combining traditional therapeutic techniques with energy-based interventions opens up new possibilities for growth and change.

Energy-informed psychotherapy helps you understand how stress, emotions, and past experiences live not only in the mind but also in the body’s energetic patterns. By working with these deeper layers of experience, you may find that change comes more naturally—old emotional blocks soften, resilience grows, and a greater sense of clarity and wholeness begins to shape your life.
