Energy is a term we use to describe the dynamic movement at the very core of life. Everything around us — from gases and liquids to solids — is made up of atoms. These atoms, filled with electrons and protons, are constantly vibrating with energy.

In the realm of quantum physics, we explore these particles at their sub-atomic levels, which helps us understand the constant motion and vibrational activity within all matter. The word “energy” is a simplified way to describe this ongoing state of creation in motion.

When I speak about energy — whether in sessions, teachings, or writing — I’m referring to the electrical currents that flow through our bodies. These currents carry charges that influence our physiological, emotional, and nervous system state.

All matter emits energy. This includes the words we speak, the electricity in our homes, the pace of our movements, and even our thoughts. Each type of energy can create a real reaction in our body. For example, when your heart races with worry as a loved one drives home late — that’s the energy of thought producing a physical response.

Integrative medicine operates on the belief that true health is achieved by bringing a person into balance on all levels — emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. This approach focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate, using a variety of therapies to help restore balance and achieve homeostasis.

In contrast, allopathic medicine often — though not always — focuses on addressing symptoms through pharmaceuticals, surgery, and other medical interventions. This traditional model can be highly effective for immediate relief and acute conditions, but it may not always consider the holistic view of health that integrative medicine emphasizes.

Meridians are the pathways in the body through which energy flows — similar to how other systems govern our physical functions. Just as the circulatory system uses veins and arteries, and the nervous system relies on a complex network of nerves, meridians act as channels for energy. These energy pathways are deeply interconnected with all bodily systems, influencing every major function.

Modern research and technology continue to support the existence and importance of these pathways. Tools like EEGs, EKGs, MRIs, and PET scans have demonstrated the ability to detect energy flow along the meridians — offering scientific validation for their crucial role in maintaining health and well-being.

At its core, any modality that interacts with the meridian energy to restore balance falls into this category. Energy modalities use a variety of techniques to shift and move energy, creating space for change, clarity, and the restoration of wholeness.

These practices aim to harmonize the flow of energy throughout the body — supporting emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. By gently correcting imbalances, they help the body return to its natural rhythm and support healing on multiple levels.

Energy psychology is a gentle yet powerful practice that supports emotional healing by restoring balance to the body’s bio-meridian points. Our bodies and minds — both conscious and subconscious — tend to store intense emotions at these energetic points.

When something in the present echoes a past trauma, it can activate the Sympathetic Nervous System — the part of the Autonomic Nervous System responsible for the fight, flight, or freeze response. This automatic reaction can strongly influence how we respond under stress, even if we’re not fully aware of the connection.

This approach to healing helps us identify and release these reactive patterns by gently nurturing the flow of energy within the body — allowing us to return to a more centered, calm, and regulated state of being.

Muscle testing involves isolating a muscle to detect energetic shifts in the body — revealing a direct connection between muscle strength and the truth or falsehood of a statement.

For example, if my husband is being tested and he extends his arm while stating, “I am a man,” his arm will typically remain strong — because the statement is true for him. If he instead says, “I am a woman,” the muscle may weaken, signaling incongruence. This is the body’s way of showing that the statement does not align with the subconscious mind, causing the muscle to falter.

In essence — the body is strengthened by truth and weakened by falsehood.

Muscle testing is a practical tool used to identify simple yes-or-no answers, and it can help pinpoint trapped emotions, limiting beliefs, or even energetic sensitivity to toxins. It is not a method for predicting the future — it simply offers insight into what is already known at the level of the subconscious.

When an energetic blockage is detected, tools such as prayer, magnets, and intentional healing techniques can be used to clear the disruption, supporting a return to energetic harmony and balance.

I am a strong supporter of counseling and deeply value the role it plays in emotional and mental health. However, it’s important to understand that traditional therapy primarily engages the conscious mind — the part of us that naturally desires health, wholeness, and joy.

But it’s often the subconscious mind that holds on to negative emotions, limiting beliefs, and unprocessed thoughts — the deeper layers that can keep us stuck in patterns we don’t fully understand. These are not choices we make consciously — they are programmed responses, often rooted in past pain or survival mechanisms.

While talk therapy is powerful, it may not always reach these deep-seated imprints. That’s where energy medicine comes in — offering a gentle, effective way to access and release what’s stored in the subconscious, allowing for true healing and transformation from the inside out.

I’m going to explore a few questions with questions, and then offer some thoughtful answers for anyone navigating these deeper conversations.

Q&A #1: “Who gets the glory when someone is healed?”
The answer to this truly depends on the heart of the person responding. For those who desire to live in submission to the Lord, all praise and worship go to the One True God — especially when He chooses to use any modality to free, restore, and heal one of His children. Healing always points back to Him when our hearts are rightly aligned.

Q&A #2: “What good comes from someone being healed?”
The benefits of healing are profound. When someone is set free and restored to wholeness, they are often filled with greater joy, clarity, and a deeper ability to carry out the calling God has placed on their life. Healing isn’t just for comfort — it empowers purpose.

Q&A #3: “Is muscle testing from God?”
This is a valid and important question — and one that comes from a heart that wants to honor God and avoid deception. As believers, we are called to test the spirits, to seek truth, and to stay far from anything manipulative, unreal, or spiritually counterfeit.

But we must also be careful not to call good what is evil — or worse, call what is good evil. In Matthew 7 and Luke 11, Jesus reminds us that even flawed earthly fathers know how to give good gifts — and our Heavenly Father, who is pure and trustworthy, will never give us a serpent when we ask for a fish.

If muscle testing is used in submission to God, rooted in prayer, and approached with discernment, humility, and integrity — then yes, it can absolutely be one of the many tools God gives His people for healing.

As we explore areas like energy medicine, or anything that sits outside traditional frameworks, we need both sincerity and discernment. But we also need to research, investigate, and seek God’s wisdom as we move forward. We don’t blindly accept anything — but we also don’t fear what bears good fruit and aligns with God’s character.

James 1:17 reminds us:
"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." (NASB)

This verse assures us that God is unshifting, constant, and filled with light — and when we experience good, life-giving results that bring freedom and wholeness, we can confidently give Him the glory.

We serve a God of order. The concept of energy flowing through the body — designed by the Creator Himself — is not a new idea. Scripture and creation alike show us patterns, systems, and rhythms that point to a divinely orchestrated design. When this energy becomes blocked, distorted, or impeded, we’ve been blessed with tools and wisdom to help restore our bodies to homeostasis — maintaining internal stability, even in the midst of external challenges.

As we begin to explore energy medicine, I want to be clear — my role is not to convince you, but simply to share what I’ve learned through research, prayer, and real-world application. Your journey of understanding and potentially integrating these concepts is deeply personal — and fully yours to explore.

I’m here to offer insight, a place to begin, and an invitation to pursue this topic with a redemptive heart posture. Rejoice in knowing that all true healing comes from God, and seek Him as you investigate what is shared here.

When choosing practitioners to conduct energy work or muscle testing, I personally seek out those who are fully submitted to the Lord. If a practitioner relies on spirit guides, engages in mysticism, or if a modality appears incongruent with my desire to honor God, I graciously step away.

My priority is to participate only in practices that reflect my commitment to please God, uphold His order, and trust that He alone is the Source of all truth and healing.

Yes and no — but don’t let that confuse you. Just like we can’t physically see electricity, WiFi, or even find the exact phrase “The Trinity” in the Bible, that doesn’t make these concepts evil or non-existent. We can’t dismiss something as false simply because it’s not explicitly named in Scripture.

Consider this — the written name of God in Hebrew contains no vowels. The word Yahweh is made up of four breath-like sounds. In essence, God’s name is synonymous with breath. The Hebrew word for “spirit” or “breath” is Ruwach — a word often used to describe the Spirit of God. Scripture calls this the “breath of life” — the breath God infused into every living thing. When this breath departs, life ceases.

Even the creation narrative points to the power of words as a life-giving energy. God spoke — and life came forth. That same life-giving energy, animated by the Holy Spirit, lives within us.

Scripture makes it clear — our thoughts and words carry weight:

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
— Proverbs 18:21

“Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.”
— Proverbs 4:23

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
— Proverbs 23:7

If this sparks curiosity, I encourage you to go deeper. Use a concordance and explore these Hebrew and Greek terms:
Ruwach (#7308) — Spirit, wind, breath
Chay (#2416) — Life, alive, living
Pneuma (#4151) — Spirit, breath, current of air

Let this be an invitation — not to fear what’s unfamiliar, but to seek wisdom, discernment, and a deeper understanding of how spirit, life, and breath are interwoven throughout Scripture.

Not necessarily — but there are certainly people with beautiful, miraculous stories.

Stored emotions, thoughts, and beliefs are forms of energy — and this energy can have a powerful effect on the body. For example, it's widely known that anxiety can cause acidosis — and acidosis is linked to a wide range of chronic conditions and disease processes.

While emotions and beliefs play a pivotal role in our health, they’re not the only factor. Sometimes the body is also burdened by toxicity — which can come from poor nutrition, environmental chemicals, household and beauty products, EMFs, unclean water, and more.

There are many studies that show unresolved emotions can contribute to disease, and once they’re released, the physical body has a greater capacity to heal. Through this work, we’re simply doing the good, wise, and sacred work of giving the body its best opportunity to return to balance.

When emotions are released — it’s not just for emotional wellness. That release can bring restoration to the whole body — impacting digestion, hormones, immune function, and beyond.

Please be sure to complete your Intake Paperwork fully before your session.

It’s recommended that you drink water prior to each Emotional Release Therapy session — good cellular hydration supports a more effective session and may help ease the Processing Period that follows.

After your initial visit, I’ll recommend any additional testing or supportive tools, and will customize a treatment plan based on your body’s unique needs and response.

You’ll receive a Session Report within 24 hours, along with an invitation to schedule your next session when you’re ready to continue the work.

If there’s a particular experience or event that has significantly impacted you and may be contributing to your current challenges, please feel free to note it on your intake form or bring it up in session.

You’re always welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable — there’s no pressure. But know that transparency can be incredibly helpful in the healing process.

Often, just bringing your awareness to a specific experience is enough for me to sense whether there are stored energies or emotions connected to it — and we can gently begin the process of releasing what no longer serves you.

An inherited trapped emotion is a fragment of emotional energy passed down from a parent at the moment of conception — traveling along with the DNA and other physical materials through the egg from your mother or the sperm from your father.

It’s important to understand the distinction between “inherited emotions” and “absorbed emotions.”
Inherited emotions are just that — emotional energies passed on at conception, and they are as fixed as any genetic trait. These emotions are part of your energetic makeup from the very beginning and cannot be acquired later in life.

On the other hand, absorbed emotions can occur at any point in your life. These happen when you take on emotional energy from someone else — often during intense or prolonged exposure. This can include family members, friends, or even strangers. Unlike inherited emotions, absorbed emotions are picked up after birth through interaction with the emotional environment around you.

Both inherited and absorbed emotions can contribute to the formation of a Heart-Wall — and both can impact your emotional and physical health, sometimes stretching back through multiple generations.

Through the Sozo Flow Method, we can help identify and release both types of trapped emotions — supporting your body and spirit in clearing what was never yours to carry in the first place.

This question comes up often — and the truth is, it varies from person to person.

Your intake session is designed to be both effective and experiential, giving you a firsthand sense of how Emotional Release Therapy can support your healing.

If you’ve been carrying significant emotional trauma, chronic stress, or have a history of abuse, especially over a long period of time, it may take more than one session to fully release and process all of the trapped emotions connected to that pain.

After your initial session, I’ll offer a customized recommendation based on your goals, needs, and how your body responds. For most people, this looks like a series of 3–5 sessions, ideally scheduled no more than a week apart to maintain momentum and effectiveness in your healing journey.

Once major traumas have been addressed, many clients choose to continue with monthly or bi-monthly maintenance sessions. These help to sustain emotional clarity, support ongoing nervous system regulation, and create space for continued transformation.

You’re also welcome to schedule weekly or bi-weekly if that rhythm serves you best. Your healing journey is unique, and I’ll walk with you to find what feels right and sustainable for your season.
