Do you sometimes feel off and are unsure why? Are there patterns you repeat in life and just can’t seem to get them unstuck? Do you have physical tension or emotional pain that doesn’t resolve no matter what you try?These could all be signs of an imbalance in your energy field, comprised in large part of your chakras and your aura. When our energy is out of whack it impacts our whole body - at a physical and emotional level. You don’t have to see or be aware of energy for these impacts to be felt strongly at some level.When you come in for a healing session, I take a ‘psychic look’ at your energy field, primarily via the seven layers of your aura. The different layers of the aura provide spiritual information and insights to survival instincts, emotions, creativity, sexual/sensual energy, power, self-esteem, boundaries, love, communication, clarity, and who you are as spirit and who you came to be. This is truly a soul to soul interaction, which is what psychic means - related to the soul.
