FAQs
What is energy healing?
Energy healing is a form of integrative medicine and is based on the belief that a person can channel positive energy from one person to another to improve their overall health, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. When our energy fields become blocked or imbalanced, poor health can occur.
What is the science behind energy healing?
Because energy healing is vastly different from western therapies, it’s little-understood. However, quantum science teaches us that the smallest molecule when broken down to its smallest structure is no longer physical matter. It is a whirling vortex of energy, often called vibrations.
Energy healers use techniques that interact with these vibrations to bring balance and alignment to the part of the body that needs it. This creates what science calls homeostasis, which brings physical,, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing.
One particular form of energy medicine, Reiki, has been shown in smaller studies to reduce pain, and help alleviate anxiety and depression.
Can energy work be done online?
Yes, this is called remote healing or distance healing. Debbie offers online remote healing sessions. Energy flows throughout the world and connects all of us. Through the use of intentions and specific techniques, long distance healing is very effective. Please contact Debbie for a more complete explanation of this if you have an interest in it.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Also called guided hypnosis, hypnotherapy is a branch of psychotherapy that uses deep relaxation and a shift in consciousness to promote positive changes in a person’s thinking and life.
Does the hypnotherapist have control over me?
No, that’s a myth. The hypnotherapist can’t make you do anything you don’t want to. You remain aware of who you are and you remember what has happened during your session.
What are the health benefits of hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy has many medical benefits. For example, it can reduce stress, anxiety (especially before medical or dental procedures), panic attacks, post-traumatic stress syndrome, phobias, weight loss, smoking, insomnia, bedwetting, hot flashes during menopause, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, pain control, skin conditions, and much more.
How does hypnotherapy work?
Prior to taking you into a deep state of relaxation, you and Debbie create suggestions to use during the session. Your conscious mind is then quieted and Debbie taps into the part of the brain where your thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, emotions, memory, and behaviors originate.
In this relaxed environment, you are more open to gentle guidance from Debbie to help you modify or replace the unconscious thoughts that drive the behavior you want to change.
What is a hypnotherapy session like?
Clients describe the experience as feeling like you’re “zoned in” or so focused you can block out surrounding distractions. You are aware of sounds in the environment and the comfort level of your body throughout the session.
How effective are hypnotherapy techniques for losing weight or stopping smoking?
When the client is truly motivated and invested in positive results, the hypnotherapy techniques are very effective.
Will I always have to rely on you to stay pain-free and/or to relax?
Debbie teaches her clients effective techniques they can use at home to continue to change their lives.
What is neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)?
NLP studies the ways our thoughts affect our behavior. It looks at the ways the brain interprets the signals it receives and how these interpretations affect what we do.
What is neuro-linguistic programming used for?
NLP uses a set of principles and techniques to enhance your self-awareness, increase confidence, build communication skills, and motivate positive social actions.
What is the function of neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP works to detect and modify unconscious biases or limitations of a person’s own map of the world. It is not hypnotherapy. It uses language to bring about changes in a person’s thoughts and beliefs.
What is integrative healing?
Integrative healing, also called integrative medicine, combines holistic and traditional western therapies in a complementary way to promote health and well-being.

What’s the difference between traditional medicine and integrative medicine?

Integrative medicine looks at the whole person using well-researched, evidence-based complementary therapies to achieve positive health outcomes.
Who can benefit from integrative healing?
Many people have turned to integrative healing because they have tried many different traditional treatments but continue to experience health issues.
