Case Studies

Case #1 T.S. was emotionally abused as a child. As a highly intelligent adult she rarely felt competent in her life's pursuits. She also found that the past emotional abuse kept her from setting her life's goals (career and relationships) high enough to feel fulfilled when she achieved them. Energy Healing focused on helping her let go of the feelings of inferiority (stress congested liver) and to trust herself, the world, and contact the reservoir of will power inside her to achieve what she most wanted. The result was that she decided to go back to school to train in an occupation that she had desired since young adulthood but that she had been scared of trying. As she progressed, T.S. also found that she had enormous stamina and felt confident and more relaxed on her path.
"Chris, thank you for the work we've done. My career is finally on track."


Case #2 A.R. was divorced and the mother of an eleven year old girl. She complained of intense digestive distress that was the result of the stress of co-parenting her daughter with her ex-husband. Energy Healing involved removing much of the anxiety and anger congested in the organs and also changing the energetic patterns between her and her ex-husband. One day, after several energy sessions, she found herself watching her daughter play sports when her ex sat down beside her. She found to her surprise that she was calm and that her ex-husband was friendly towards her. That was several years ago and she reports that the relationship between them remains amiable.
"It's much easier dealing with him. There's so much less stress. I'm more relaxed and I feel a sense of relief. "


Case #3 J.T. was married and feeling as if she and her husband were drifting apart. Intimacy had stopped and most daily interactions between spouses contained a strained, somewhat irritable quality. She felt as if it was only a matter of time before some big issue would explode the marriage and she was losing sleep worrying. Energy Therapy involved removing much of the anxiety and anger that was building up in J.T. Then therapy focused on opening up and clearing the energetic connections between spouses especially in the areas of mental communication and heart connection (chakras 6 and 4 ) . Following this treatment J.T. found that she felt much closer to her husband and more willing to talk to him in a calm manner about their issues. She found that he also was feeling more relaxed and less irritable when they interacted. This led both of them to recommit to their marriage. This occurred several years ago and today they have a loving marriage and another child on the way.
She states" I felt that working on this marriage was like facing an insurmountable mountain. After some energy sessions I was amazed to find that I was actually looking forward to being with my husband and working together to improve our relationship. We both feel closer than ever before. Thank you so much for the energy healing."


Case #4 K.A. had grown up with parents who were not loving and supportive. She married early and was divorced twice. She wanted a loving relationship with a man but could not seem to find the right one. The men she dated appeared shallow and critical. She finally stopped dating. She came into therapy for mild chronic depression, low energy, and an eating disorder. Therapy initially involved helping her discover some of the sources of her condition. Energetic connections between her parents and herself that were continuing to affect her self-awareness and behavior in a negative manner were removed. This had the effect of helping her to feel complete and "her own person" instead of the unloved child. She felt strong enough to let go of some of her pent-up sadness and frustration concerning her relationships with her parents and the past men in her life. After the healing sessions she felt more relaxed and stronger physically and emotionally. She was shown an easy technique to help her break impulsive eating habits and started to take care of her body and appearance. After several sessions she found that she felt much more comfortable around others and had attracted a really nice man into her life.
She states," Thank you for this chance to really live my life. I didn't realize that there was such a simple way to change my bad patterns."


Case #5 T.R. had a great family and he liked his profession. His boss however really stressed him out. This person expected 110% all of the time and this played on T.R.'s need to overachieve and please those in authority. He found that the longer and harder he worked, his boss expected more and more. He didn't know how to create boundaries. The stress caused him to start smoking cigarettes again and to take out his frustration on his family. He also was feeling constant stomach irritation and was worried about getting an ulcer. Energy Therapy focused on helping him discover the source of his need to overachieve and please authority. Energy therapy then helped to release his stress and balance his body. His stomach problem diminshed and he was more calm and considerate of his family. He was also strong enough to politely confront his boss about work limits. To his surprise, due to his calmness and inner strength, the boss agreed with his work goals and appeared to have more reasonable expectations
He states" I cannot believe the changes occurred so smoothly. Little things started to improve after the first session and after several sessions my life was back on track. Thank you for this help."


Other testimonials:

"I have found Chris to be the perfect blend of integrity and decency in his counseling and energy work. After coming out of a divorce there was a need to address some emotional issues that standard counseling would not have resolved. It has been my pleasure to have found such a good guide to assist me on my path in releasing old wounds which has allowed me to move forward with my life. I will always be grateful for his compassion and abilities and have highly recommended him to my friends. I have also called on him to assist my pets when it becomes clear that the issue is an emotional one and standard vet care does not have the answer."

"Pumpkin my cat is 17 now ... Since Chris has worked on him, Punky's perked up considerably ... shown much more interest in his food and other activities going on in the house, and sleeps less .. in general he behaves like his younger self .. after awhile the energy will fade and I have Chris give him another treatment which again improves the quality of his life."
