In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve felt called to speak about for a while. After hearing a story that touched on energy healing—and reading through the comment section—I realized just how many misconceptions are still out there.

So today, I’m offering a clear and compassionate explanation of how I define and use energy healing, from my own lens of experience, faith, and years of practice. To me, it’s a natural tool for emotional and spiritual well-being—not a belief system.

If you’ve ever experienced energy work and struggled to explain it, or if you’re curious but unsure how it fits with your personal values, this episode is for you. Whether you’re brand new to this or have used it for years, I hope this gives you language, reassurance, and encouragement.
