Energy Medicine

The fields of psychology, medicine, neuroscience and science are undergoing profound - indeed evolutionary changes in our understanding of the nature of energetic fields as well as how those energetic fields affect us physically, psychologically, and emotionally.

That we are energy "bodies" is no longer in dispute. For thousands of years, indigenous peoples have long used healing technologies that focused on balancing energetic systems.

Findings from the fields of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Physics as well as recent technologies that detect energetic and magnetic fields, have allowed us to begin to map the human energetic field.  Much like the beautiful drawings of Alex Gray (represented here on this page), this field exists within the physical body anchored in the chakras, pulses throughout the body through many meridians, and extends beyond and outside the physical body as well.  This energetic field interacts with and is affected by the larger universal fields as well as with other individuals.  It can be depleted through stress, environmental toxins or pollutants, physical illness and trauma.  The energetic field informs the physical body, our neurophysiology - thus influencing our moods and effecting how we feel both physically and emotionally. 

By balancing and clearing the energetic "body", we thus effect emotional and physical health and wellness.

Many contemporary researchers, neuroscientists, scientists, physicians, psychologists and others are writing with great passion and excitement about the enormous possibilities for health, wellness and healing that this understanding provides us.

Ms. Priestner Werte has studied various areas of energy medicine, including Therapeutic Touch, Hands on Healing, EFT, and Guided Imagery.  She has completed a 30 month certification, and continues her studies in Energy Medicine with The Four Winds Society.  Founded by Alberto Villoldo, The Four Winds is dedicated to providing "a scientific framework through which we can learn (and understand) the ancient art of energy medicine".

Individual sessions are offered in her private office, or by phone.
