What is Energy Work? A Soul-Centered Perspective

There are moments when we sense that something isn’t quite right: it may present
physically, but more often than not, it’s something beneath the surface. We might feel stuck, heavy, untethered, or like our light has dimmed in ways we can’t explain. This is where energy work begins: in the unseen places where your system is calling for realignment.
At its core, energy work is the art and practice of helping the body, emotions, and subtle fields return to harmony. But I believe it’s more than that. To me, energy work is a sacred collaboration with your Soul.
Each session is an invitation to move beyond just “feeling better,” and into deep energetic coherence. The intent is for the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies to come into resonance with your true nature.

You might arrive feeling overwhelmed, disoriented, or unsure of what you need, and that’s okay. Through gentle dialogue, intuitive sensing, and energy attunement, I help identify and shift patterns—across this life and beyond—that may be blocking your vitality or clarity. Some clients experience physical relief, emotional release, mental insight, or simply a profound sense of peace. Others notice changes unfolding subtly over time.
Energy work doesn’t impose, but it does reveal what’s hidden. It reconnects you to the part of yourself that already knows how to heal.
In all honesty, when I started studying this work many years ago, it wasn’t because I wanted to “be a healer”. It was because I was feeling stuck and stagnant, and I constantly struggled in EVERY area of my life. I understand what it’s like, and I was skeptical when I first became a client of energy work. But over time, even though I couldn’t understand how it worked, I realized I was feeling better. I started making different choices, and I started creating momentum that has led to great change over the years.
Somewhere along that path, I realized that this is exactly the work I’m meant to do. It’s almost as if my purpose here is to pay forward the support that was offered to me. I still don’t consider myself a healer- I don’t want people to feel like their healing is in the hands of someone else. The whole point of energy work is to empower people into their own knowing. And I recognize that True healing is done by the client. I am a facilitator and space holder. I support the process and act as a guide, and an objective observer who can see people’s blind spots and help clear them.
I draw on many modalities, including Esoteric Healing, Reiki, sound, light language, and a channeled process I tend to call Intuitive Quantum Healing. No two sessions are the same, because each soul has its unique requirements for unfoldment. The result of this is what I like to call Energetic Alchemy.
Webster’s dictionary defines alchemy as “a power or process that changes or transforms something in a mysterious or impressive way.” To me, energetic alchemy is the process of working with the subtle fields to identify energetic patterns and distortions that keep you stuck. We transmute dense, stagnant vibrations into high-vibrational flow, and amplify a person’s innate resonance so they can embody their soul’s fullest expression.
Whether you're new to this world or have been walking the path for years, you are welcome here.
I invite you to take a moment today to notice:
Where does your body feel open or heavy?
What sensations or images arise when you consider the phrase energy field?
What would it feel like to move through the world in full resonance?
I’ll be sharing more reflections and teachings here on the blog—some simple, some deep.
If there’s something you’re curious about—energy work, intuition, healing, the Soul—let me know. I’d love to hear what you’d like me to explore in future posts. You can comment, email me, or send a whisper through the ethers. I’m listening.
Love,
Leena
