Yes – absolutely. You don’t need to fully understand or believe in energy healing for it to support your system. All you need is an open mind and the willingness to try it. In fact, many of my clients come in with some initial level of skepticism, and find it naturally melts away as they experience the work and observe real shifts.

And honestly, I think healthy skepticism is a good thing. It shows strength and discernment. As someone with a science background (BSc), I was deeply skeptical too. So if this feels unfamiliar and doesn’t immediately jive with your existing framework of the world, that’s completely valid. You’re in good company.

I encourage folks to do their own research, stay curious, and decide for themselves based on what feels right to them. My goal isn’t to convince you – it’s to plant seeds, offer a different lens, and invite you to explore further if you like. 

History reminds us that paradigm shifts take time. The idea that invisible microbes could cause disease was dismissed when germ theory was first introduced – until  the invention of the microscope made it observable. I encourage you not to shut yourself off to the idea of energy work, and to keep an open mind. There’s a growing body of both experiential evidence and scientific inquiry, as well as emerging technologies, pointing to the validity of this work.

So if you’ve tried “everything” and still feel stuck, it might be worth approaching healing from a different direction. What do you have to lose? What if that is the key to healing stubborn, chronic conditions lies in treating the bioenergetic field that modern medicine has completely overlooked until this time?

“Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies.” – Albert Einstein

“If you want to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” – Nikola Tesla

If energy healing is new to you, or even if you’ve experienced it firsthand, the idea that it works remotely can still feel a little mysterious. You might want help explaining it to others, or simply feel like you’ll get more out of the sessions if you have some understanding of how it works. I know I did!

First, it’s important to acknowledge that science, even quantum physics, isn’t all the way there yet in explaining how some of these subtle and intuitive energies work. That said, there are many well-supported theories that help us begin to understand the mechanisms.

·      Quantum entanglement, a phenomenon first predicted by Einstein and later confirmed in lab experiments, shows that two particles that were once connected (or that previously interacted) can become “entangled” and remain energetically linked. That is, when one particle is affected, the other also responds instantly, even when separated by great distance.

·      Many experts point to the Big Bang Theory as a compelling example of why quantum entanglement may be so universal. At the origin of the universe, all particles were once part of a single point of creation—meaning everything in existence was, quite literally, connected. Even as those particles expanded and scattered across space, quantum entanglement suggests they may still remain linked. This suggests everything in the universe is interconnected, and that the energy of intention can affect other fields, even non-locally.

·      Einstein’s theory of relativity proposed that space and time are not absolute or fixed, but rather are relative and shaped by the observer’s perception. From this lens, distance may not the barrier we once assumed it to be. I find it helpful to think of time and space (and therefore distance) as constructs of the human mind, that help us perceive and make sense of our world.

From both a scientific and spiritual lens, these concepts echo the same suggestion: we are all connected. Or often expressed as “we are all one”, energetically. Ultimately, energy work happens in a field that transcends physical space and does not require physical touch. Wherever you are across the globe, it’s possible to connect to your unique energetic signature, much like tuning into a specific radio frequency or antenna.

Many clients find remote sessions even more powerful than in-person work, as being in the comfort and safety of your own home allows your nervous system to deeply relax (free from the stress of sitting in traffic, finding parking, or re-entering the outside world too quickly).

While most of my clients don’t care so much about how energy healing works and focus more on the results and how it feels to them, I know some of us (myself included) do better when there’s some understanding of how things work.

·      Everything is energy – Einstein’s famous equation (E=mc²) shows that matter and energy are interchangeable, meaning even something that appears solid, like your arm or a rock, is energy in a very condensed form.

·      Everything has a frequency –  Because your body is made of energy, every molecule, protein, cell, and organ vibrates at its own frequency. Together, these form your body’s overall “net” frequency, which can shift from moment to moment based on your state—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Some traditions also believe your soul has its own unique frequency that stays constant and recognizable regardless of fluctuations in your net frequency.

·      You have an energy field – In addition to having a physical body, you also have a measurable energy field. Physicists call it the bioelectromagnetic field, though it’s also referred to more simply as the aura. This field is both electrical and magnetic in nature, because your body generates measurable electrical signals – especially through your heart, brain, and nervous system. As these electrical signals move, they naturally create magnetic fields around them (a basic principle of electromagnetism). 

There’s a popular saying in biophysics and developmental biology: “form follows field.” It reflects the idea that the organization of physical matter is influenced, or even guided, by the energetic fields surrounding it. It suggests that biological structures form in response to invisible fields of information that shape growth and repair.

In other words, your physical form (body) is continually shaped and influenced by the state of your energetic field. When this field becomes disrupted or incoherent, it can lead to imbalances in your body. Energy healing works by interacting with this field to help restore balance, flow, and coherence across your system.

·      Your body seeks harmony – Your system is always working toward “homeostasis”, a state of internal balance. But energetic blockages can interfere with that process. Energy healing helps identify and release these blockages so energy can move freely again and balance can be restored (and with it, your sense of vitality).

While the mechanisms behind energy healing haven’t been fully mapped out yet, there are several widely accepted frameworks rooted in science that help bridge the gap:

·      Entrainment – Entrainment is a well-documented phenomenon in physics where two systems in close proximity begin to synchronize with one another (for example, clocks placed on the same wall eventually swing in unison, groups in a restaurant will unconsciously begin to chew at the same rate, etc.). In energy healing, when a high-frequency, coherent energy field is introduced, the body will begin to “entrain to” it – aligning with the more stable, harmonious frequency. This can help shift incoherent or “low-vibrational” frequencies back into coherence.

·      Resonance – Resonance is another well documented phenomenon in physics, where one object vibrating at a certain frequency can cause another object with that same frequency to begin vibrating as well. The classic example is the opera singer who hits the right note to match the natural resonant frequency of a wine glass, causing it to shatter. If an energy healer can identify the frequency of a trapped emotion, or even a critical protein in a pathogen’s cell wall, and introduce that same resonant frequency (through frequency generators, tuning forks, sound, or intention carried on thought waves), it can cause the stuck energy to vibrate and “shake loose” or break apart.

·      Trapped Emotions Are Stored Potential Energy – Emotions are energetic impulses that are meant to move through the body and be fully “felt” before they are resolved. But when we suppress them, become overwhelmed, or otherwise do not allow emotions to fully complete their cycle and be processed, issues can arise. The “remainder” energy can become trapped or stored as potential energy in the body.  It becomes cut off or separated from the rest of our energetic circuitry, disrupting the natural flow of energy in the body.

Energy healers can restore the circuitry by acting as a “witness” or “observer” to hold space for the emotion to complete its cycle and discharge the remainder of its potential energy. As a result, the system can return to its ideal, coherent state.

·      Energy Healers become a “conduit” – In an energy healing session, the healer acts as a conduit or channel for high-frequency, coherent energy – what some might call Source Energy, God, Spirit, the Universe, or another higher power. The healer doesn’t actively “do” the healing. Rather, they open the channel, set a clear intention, and hold a stable field while the needed frequencies are received by your body. Your system does the rest – taking care of the actual “healing”.

None of these models are rigid explanations. They are invitations to help your mind make sense of what your body and energy field already know. Energy healing works across multiple levels, always with the aim of restoring natural energy flow and balance.

Aside from noticing shifts in your symptoms, it is also very common to experience feelings of clarity, lightness, creativity, and improved energy levels after a session. This is because energetic blockages weigh us down physically, emotionally and mentally – almost acting as gloomy clouds that obscure the sun on what would otherwise be a beautiful day. As we begin to clear away what no longer serves you, we start to reveal our true selves again and remember what it feels like to be us. We also get a whole lot of stuck energy “moving” again that had previously been stagnant for some time (even years). Furthermore, we often will repair “energy leaks” in your bioenergetic field, which has the effect of preserving more of your vital life force energy for you to use (rather than leaking to your environment).
