Energy Healing
Everything is made of energy.
We are made of energy.
With intention and proper training, we can shift the energies of our bodies. This supports the natural tendency toward healing and balance. These are the basic principles behind the Energy Healing techniques (acupuncture, Reiki, and The Wonder Method) that Dr. Vanessa Lee, ND offers at Aster Wellness Centre.
When we come into greater alignment, openness and balance, we feel calmer and happier. We are more able to manage the stressors of life.
Energy Healing Sessions
Energy healing is offered to patients during their acupuncture sessions to increase the benefits from the acupuncture. However, it is also available to patients who do not wish to do acupuncture.
During a 45-60minute session, patients relax on the treatment table in a comfortable position. Some patients fall asleep. Dr. Lee places her hands gently on the body (or above the body if the patient prefers). You may feel her hands become quite warm as the energy flows. Patients commonly report experiencing a sense of calmness, relaxation, and peace. More sensitive individuals report sensations of “waves” through their body, seeing colours, experiencing “opening” or the movement of stagnant energy out of their bodies.
In conjunction with lifestyle changes, patients often move forward more easily in their emotional lives. Then, they have better capabilities to handle stress, and find more joy. Dr. Lee sees this most often over the course of continued treatment sessions (e.g. suggested every 1-2 weeks to start, then every 4-6 weeks for maintenance). As our systems accommodate a new, healthier balance, we often become ready to uncover the next layer of the puzzle.
We are ever changing, and no moment is the same. Each experience is unique – for each patient and for each session. Come with an open mind, and no expectations.
Training
Dr. Lee took her first Usui Reiki Level I course in 2001, and became enthralled with the concept of Energy Medicine. After that, she took the Usui Reiki Level II training, Holy Fire Reiki Master & Teacher training. Most recently, she underwent the Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master & Teacher training in 2020 with William Lee Rand (founder of the Holy Fire type of Reiki and developer of Karuna Reiki). Note that despite its name, “Holy Fire” Reiki is secular, with no religious affiliation.
She applies Reiki regularly in her naturopathic practice, and uses it daily in her personal life as well.
In 2021, Dr. Lee started her training in The Wonder Method with the founder, Alain Herriott. It has deepened her sense of connection with inner balance, and enhanced the experiences her patients report during their Energy Healing sessions.
Dr. Lee is currently a registered TWM practitioner, and continues her training in this method. She looks forward to sharing its positive benefits even further over the coming years.
