The story of EnergyWorx:

A Journey to Myself

  My mother said that I was a very affectionate child, very emotional and “touchy-feely.” I was keenly aware of the emotions of people and would do what I could to hug and soothe their cares away. I am very much that girl, the hugger, the crier and the one who laughs with her entire being. Deep feeling and expression had led me to be a writer since the age of 9, winning many competitions and contests. After pursuing a more obvious and expected career path of journalism and communications, and feeling unfulfilled, I eventually found a career as an esthetician as a way to incorporate those senses of touch and intuition into my vocation. I felt fulfilled connecting to people more closely and being a change agent in them feeling better about themselves and how they showed up in the world.

I could never quite explain the deep and profound effect that touching people daily and connecting to their joys, hurts and concerns had on me. That is, until 2006, when I was dealing with a series of personal disappointments and failures, followed by the sudden, traumatic loss of a close friend. Through trying to find more purpose in my life while processing grief, I discovered what is classified as an alternative and complementary therapy, called energy work.

Energy healing practices have become increasingly well-known lately, but energy healing is not new nor a fad. Much like yoga and meditation, more people are becoming more accepting of its therapeutic benefits. Energy work draws on ancient wisdom, science, and tradition, utilizing the body’s frequencies to promote a sense of well-being for each person. It has some indigenous influence, but is also grounded in physics – that we are all made up of energy and that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; only change its form. One method of energy work, for example, is acupuncture. However, several modalities apply the same principle — all aimed at promoting feelings of wholeness, well-being, and a sense of groundedness. The modalities I have studied and become certified in are Chakra Balancing, Healing Touch, and Usui. All of these are known as “touch therapies” because they primarily use the placement of hands to facilitate the movement of energy through the body, thereby aiding the body in its own healing process. They all operate on the premise that the practitioner helps support the recipient in their healing process. Since learning energy work through touch therapies to reach a level of mastery, I was also intrigued by learning breathwork, crystal therapies, sound therapy, and the use of essential oils as supporting aids to living a more harmonious life. I call this part of my business EnergyWorx.

My journey to EnergyWorx is also my journey to my best self. I gained an understanding of the Divine design of each spirit and an acceptance of one of my gifts in this world, which involves touching and connecting to others in a deeply empathic and authentic way. My goal is to make energy work feel easily accessible to all so that each of you can integrate things that support a life that feels more whole, well, and grounded – in harmony with your passions and dreams.

In 2024, my EnergyWorx journey led me to new heights after successfully beating lymphoma, where I was confronted again with being reconstructed as a whole person. It was a life-changing journey that reminded me of the importance of holistic and intentional wellness. I am thrilled to introduce The AuraMELT™ Method to you soon! It is the first NeuroAesthetics Wellness Method of its kind, integrating my knowledge, wisdom, and experience, and intersecting skin, science, and soul. You may have started to see this perspective in The Aura Effect column in WellSpa 360, beginning in February 2025, and in the May cover article in SKIN INC on neurocosmetics.
