Many people say they feel "empty" and "half alive", get anxious and worried in the absence of any apparent reason or feel "trapped", "tied down" or "suffocated" in relationships or at work and have a hard time maintaining intimacy. We often close our hearts in order to not feel pain - either from the pain we are afraid we are about to receive, or the pain already there. If we keep stuffing trauma and pain into the subconscious, eventually we can only feel pain when we seek heart's guidance, so we cease to go there.

Headaches, high blood pressure, bronchitis, asthma, intestinal distress, addiction, allergies, and other chronic problems are results of out of the balance complex patterns of human energy fields. Balancing the human energy field can assist the body in healing itself.

Integrative Energy Healing (IEH) is a healing modality classified by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as a biofield energy therapy.

The goal of IEH treatment is to increase harmony and coherence in the energy field, thereby enhancing the multidimensional physical, emotional, mental and spiritual process involved in healing in order to awaken the body's innate healing potential. IEH is healing science designed to complement conventional approaches to health care. 

An IEH practitioner teaches awareness techniques designed to sustain health and deepen healing connection. Individuals facing major health challenges, including chronic conditions, can benefit from a personalized program of deep, transformative healing.

Recent advances in psychology, biology and neurology have broadened knowledge so that information from a variety of fields is being integrated into a single framework which allows us to understand human beings, their motives, their unconscious and how their history affects them. Many patients find that after reliving traumas which occurred early in their life, their anxiety and depression diminish, their relationships improve, they no longer feel the urge to drink or use drugs and they discover their humanity and the power for transformation and choice.

When bioelectromagnetic energy field from the heart is in balance we have healthy energy, feel friendly, are concerned for others, have a sense of belonging, have a good sense of humour and radiate warmth and compassion.

IEH is a safe, gentle healing approach suitable for both adults and children.

What takes place during IEH treatment session?

Treatments last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The client's medical history and presenting issue is explored during first 15 minutes at the first appointment.

An individual practitioner or a treatment team may offer IEH treatment session.

Sessions typically take place with the client lying on a massage table, although clients may also sit in a chair or wheelchair. After discussing a client goal for the session, the practitioner places his/her hands directly above the client's body and moves through the Human Energy Field in order to identify areas of energetic imbalance. Based upon this energy assessment, the practitioner uses treatment techniques to shift the field into a more balance state.

Client's feedback guides the session. Individuals have reported sensations of heat, cold, tingling, vibration, current and muscle release as they become sensitive to the movement of energy within the body. The practitioner ends the session by holding the client's feet until the client feels grounded and present.

Treatments are offered in a safe, respectful, healing environment. The client may stop the treatment or ask questions at any time.

A person does not have to be unwell in order to feel the benefits of IEH sessions. Treatments also promote high-level wellness.
