Frequently Asked Questions

I focus on supporting you in releasing your unhealthy, unconscious patterns impacting your life. These are negative physical, mental, and emotional patterns arising from inherited generational trauma, gestational trauma (what your birth mother experienced during your pregnancy), and from your own personal traumatic experiences from birth up to around 7yrs old. At the point of conception, individuals inherit generational trauma energies, and they absorb or collect personal trauma energies from that point forward.

Trauma is trauma at all ages, and it negatively affects every aspect of your health and well-being. As children, we absorb and learn from our surroundings; we mimic and repeat what we see and experience, becoming creatures of habit with both positive and negative unconscious patterns as adults. For example, research has shown that adverse childhood experiences contribute to the development of health issues, such as obesity, heart disease, depression, and chronic pain in adulthood.

Coaching, Energy Medicine, Ortho-Bionomy® & Intuitive Bodywork

Keep in mind that after a session, you can expect to go through an "integrative processing period" which may take up to 4 days to complete. With coaching and energy medicine, this period is for neurological reintegration, and with bodywork, this period is for physiological unwinding - these are both completely interwoven processes. There may be degrees of awareness/soreness with the body, and I recommend very gentle exercise, like walking or swimming.

Less than 20% of the time, there may be some symptoms associated with your processing, such as minor emotional irritability or fatigue. Occasionally, some people experience more uncomfortable symptoms such as headache or nausea. It always depends on the patterns you are clearing, and what's happening in all areas of your life. You can make the processing period easier by listening to your intuition, getting extra sleep, drinking a lot of pure water, avoiding overly stressful situations, and by increasing your self-care.

Some clients may feel subtle or dramatic changes right away, while others may need to receive additional sessions before shifts take place. Each person is unique with varied life experiences, so the pace of healing is not exact or predictable. Consider the image of dropping a pebble into a pond. The waves ripple out from the centre point over the entire surface of the pond. Healing energetic, neurological and physiological patterns creates ripples throughout your whole being.

Your course of action depends upon the goals and/or the issues you are addressing. Ultimately, personal health and well-being are your responsibility. I focus on creating safe spaces, coaching, energy medicine and/or intuitive bodywork sessions to assist you in clearing your negative patterns as quickly as possible, and then supporting you in following through with your strategic action plan or inspired action steps.

The Greek word, agápē (pronounced uh-GAH-pay), is a Greco-Christian term referring to unconditional love, the highest form of love or charity. Within a therapeutic context, agape is the intentional response to promote well-being when confronted by that which generates ill-being.

Have you ever been thinking about someone, and they then call you out of the blue? This is a common example showing how we're all energetically connected. During virtual sessions, I use intention for clearly tapping into a connection that's already present.

Some experts think the conscious mind only makes up about 0.1% of your intelligence. The other 99.9% is the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind archives everything we receive at conception from our lineages, as well as everything we experience from conception forward in life. It's like a binary computer and can be asked “yes” or “no” questions.

Muscle testing determines answers from the unconscious mind by the physical response to things that are true or false. To illustrate, telling a lie creates a weak muscle test, whereas speaking the truth creates a strong muscle test. It's really that simple.

Using a pendulum instead of muscle testing is something that’s easier on my hands. Specifically, I connect energetically to you and then ask the pendulum to swing in a direction that indicates a “yes” or the equivalent of a strong muscle test. Then I ask to be shown the swing direction that indicates the opposite.

Education and Training

I have an undergraduate degree in kinesiology and was a registered massage therapist from 1994 until 2018. In addition, my training includes-Practitioner training in Ortho-Bionomy (OBAC), the Emotion Code™, the Body Code™ System, Quantum Release, Root Cause, and Somatic Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Reiki 1 & 2; Facilitator training in PSYCH-K® (Basic, Master, and Advanced levels), plus a variety of other Energy Medicine modalities that use muscle testing.

Coaching Overview

We offer coaching sessions for releasing mental barriers by connecting your conscious mind beliefs with the repressed thoughts and emotions of the unconscious mind. This helps you achieve long-lasting, sustainable changes in your mindset and thinking.

Coaching creates a repeatable, tangible, sustainable difference and it is NOT therapy. Therapy is necessary for individuals who cannot progress because of significant neglect, abuse, and/or trauma. Coaching focuses on moving from functional states towards optimal performance in any chosen area of life. 

My coaching philosophy is that you:

• Have the answers inside of yourself.
• Are the expert about your own life.
• Have the resources available or a creative way to get them.
• Are whole and complete.

Energy Medicine Overview

The physical body and the aura surrounding it is pure energy and, given the right conditions, has an incredible ability to heal itself. Negative energies can become stuck or trapped because of any sort of life experience. If they remain stuck, over time they can impair physical function and contribute to stress, trauma, sickness and even disease. In fact, most people live somewhere on a spectrum in this kind of state, suffering from it, but the good news is that this process is often reversible. Energy medicine sessions are for releasing personal and inherited energetic blockages. Doing so helps you unlock your full potential and to thrive in your professional and personal life. I use Reiki, applied kinesiology with muscle testing and/or a pendulum during energy medicine sessions.

Intuitive Bodywork Overview

As a former massage therapist and current ortho-bionomy practitioner, I use a variety of bodywork tools in a session. Ortho-bionomy helps to release your pain by gently resetting your nervous system which allows your body to eliminate nagging physical patterns. Beyond OB sessions, I use other bodywork modalities when muscle testing or pendulum testing indicates the modality as highly beneficial for your presentation. 

Other bodywork modalities may include:

• Body Scan
• Fascial Release
• Swedish Massage
• Trigger Point Release
• Visceral Manipulation 

The short answer is no, as I'm not a registered medical or mental health professional. The coaching, energy medicine and/or intuitive bodywork sessions provided are a co-creative experience where we tap into your body's inherent healing wisdom. If you are currently receiving therapy, we will need to have your mental health professional give you the green light to receive our coaching services.

Yes - I strongly encourage you to stay connected with all your traditional and alternative health practitioners when you're receiving any sort of sessions at Agape Therapeutic.

There is no diagnosing or prescribing with the services offered at Agape Therapeutic Health Services as I am not a registered medical or mental health professional. I do encourage you to remain connected with all your traditional and alternative health practitioners. 

This will depend upon what shows up with muscle or pendulum testing. If your body wishes to receive Ortho-Bionomy then you're fully clothed. If your body wants visceral manipulation or a Swedish-style massage, then you're taking at least some of your clothes off. You are draped appropriately with a top sheet, and we work together to ensure your comfort.
