A Day in the Life of an Energy Healer

As an energetic health practitioner, my days are filled with deep connection, healing energy, and the joy of supporting others in their journey toward well-being. Energy healing is a holistic practice that works by gently manipulating the energies in the body to promote balance, peace, and healing in physical, emotional, and spiritual
levels. It’s a beautiful way to help people release tension, clear blockages, and calm their nervous system, creating a space for natural healing to occur. So, what does a typical day look like for me? Let me walk you through it, from the preparation before my clients arrive to the final steps after the session has ended.

Preparation Prior to Client Arrival

A lot of what I do happens before my client even walks through the door. I need to be
mentally, physically, and spiritually prepared to offer the best support possible. This preparation is an important ritual that helps me maintain my own balance and ensures I’m ready to hold space for my clients' healing. On the days I see clients, I keep my meals light and hydrate well with water or herbal tea. I also carry a grounding and protection stone in my pocket to safeguard my own energy. Cleansing the space is another essential part of my ritual. I clear any stale or negative energy by smudging with Sage or Palo Santo or sometimes using a clearing spray. I also place crystals under the massage table, as they help to amplify energy flow and balance the body’s energy centres (chakras). Before each session, I ensure all my tools are within reach, though I never know which ones I’ll need until the session begins. I also take time to meditate, which helps ground me and ensures I remain calm and focused. Unscented candles for soft lighting and soothing meditation music complete the atmosphere, creating a serene space conducive to healing.

The Client Arrival

When my clients arrive, they often feel a bit nervous or apprehensive. It’s completely understandable because healing is a vulnerable process, and many people are unsure of what to expect. I always reassure them that they are in a safe space and that everything shared with me will remain confidential. My goal is to create an environment of trust and support, so they feel comfortable throughout the session. As a “healer”, I must ask for permission before placing my hands on their body, as consent is crucial. After offering them a glass of water and engaging in a calming chat, I have them fill out an intake form so I can better understand the issue
that brought them to me. I listen carefully, take notes, and tune into their energy to
sense what needs attention during the session.

Once we’re ready, I guide my clients onto the massage table, cover them with a
blanket, and give them an eye mask to help them disconnect from the external world
and focus inwardly. From here, the healing work begins. 

The Healing Work

I begin by making sure my client is comfortable—some may need a pillow under their
knees, others might prefer one under their head. I start by using my pendulum to scan their body, paying particular attention to the chakras (our main energy centres) and I am looking for knots, blockages or hot spots. I then strategically place crystals and/or stones around their body where I believe the energy needs to be strengthened or amplified. I also use feathers to sweep through the aura, which has an immediate effect on moving stale energy. As I am a “hands-on” healer, my approach involves applying light pressure along the meridian lines and chakras to clear any blockages and restore the energy flow. It’s like receiving a very gentle and calming massage that starts around the head and finishes at the
feet.
Throughout the session, I may also use sound healing tools like singing bowls or seed shakers. The vibrations from these instruments penetrate deep into the body, impacting the cells, tissues and organs, further assisting in clearing blockages and restoring balance in the energy field. As the session progresses, I focus on grounding
my client and this is achieved by applying medium-strength pressure from my hands to their thighs, calves, ankles and feet. This helps to balance and stabilise their energy after the shifts that have taken place. I give thanks for the healing energy that flows through the session – I am always grateful for the energetic shifts that take
place to improve the health and well-being of my clients.

Wrapping Up the Session

After the healing work is complete, I leave my client to rest for a few moments. When
they’re ready, I assist them in getting up from the massage table and guide them
back to the couch. I offer them a warm cup of herbal tea, and we take time to reflect
on the session. Some clients prefer to talk about their experiences immediately, while others may need more time to process. I listen to how they’re feeling and share what I’ve sensed during the session. My clients share with me upon completion of their session the profound sense of calm that they experience. The energy healing has activated the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and emotional release. This
sense of calm and peace is a common thread in all my sessions, no matter how
unique the healing process may be for each individual. The entire process typically lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, though the effects of the session continued to unfold over the following days. I like to follow up with my
clients three days later to check in on how they’re feeling. Sometimes, one or two sessions are all it takes to restore balance and energy flow, but healing is a deeply personal journey, so if my client feels drawn to book a subsequent session, they can do so when they feel ready. There is never any pressure.

Rest and Renewal After the Session

Once the session is complete, and my client has moved on to enjoy the rest of their day, I take a moment to reset the space. I clear any residual energy and prepare for the next session. It’s important for me to give myself space to rest and renew between appointments, as holding space for others is deeply energetic and requires
me to take care of my own energy as well.
In the quiet moments after a healing session, I reflect on what a privilege it is to support others on their healing journey. It’s an honour to be part of someone’s process of releasing emotions, reducing physical tension, and bringing peace to their mind and body. Every day as an energetic health practitioner is a new opportunity to
make a meaningful impact on someone's life, and that’s a gift I cherish deeply.
