Intuitive Energy Work is a holistic healing modality that blends traditional energy work techniques with the practitioner’s intuitive abilities. In this approach, practitioners work intentionally with the subtle energies within and surrounding the body, often referred to as the human energy field or aura. They utilize their intuition to identify areas of imbalance or blockage within the energy system and to guide the healing process. Within a holistic wellness context, Intuitive Energy Work is recognized for supporting energetic balance, emotional well-being, and overall healing potential.
