The Story of Intuitive Energy Massage

I’ve always had an interest in healing beyond the physical body and a fascination with how the physical body manifests pain, illness and injury and why. Even as a child, I recognized the healing power of laying my hands on someone, to comfort them while removing their pain, without they, or me, being consciously aware of how or why this happened. As an adult, I gave this healing technique the name, “White Light Healing”. I would place my hands over the site of an injury, sending bright white light, while distracting the person I was helping with conversation. Children especially responded to this technique and I knew I was on to something powerful when parents took note, wanting to know what I was doing and how it was working so successfully on their children.
When I began my work as a Healer, I knew I wanted to offer a variety of healing modalities, rather than focus on only one. I believe that the more tools and techniques you have in your Healing Tool Kit, the more effective a Healer you can be because you’re open to all the many way each person can heal, rather than being limited by your offerings.
As no one had heard of “White Light Healing” yet, I looked to Reiki as a foundational energy healing system that was familiar to many people. As I took my Reiki levels, I recognized much of what I was already intuitively doing with my “White Light Healing” system. I loved this awareness as it confirmed for me how versatile energy healing is and how differently it can show up for people, while achieving similar results. My efforts to follow to the letter the Reiki system I was learning were unsuccessful. I found that my hands kept wandering outside of the protocol positions. After two Reiki sessions with clients I allowed myself to get out of the way and let my hands move to wherever, and however, they needed to for my client.
As I allowed my intuition to flow and truly became a conduit for the energy I was working with, or which was working through me, IEM as a healing system, evolved. Over a few years, the structure of IEM emerged until it became evident to me that something new was being created; something powerful, transformative and teachable!
I witnessed the healings my clients were experiencing as we connected the Intuitive Counselling piece with the energy healing piece. With one IEM session, major shifts and changes were occurring for my clients. Seeing the potential for this method to be shared, I began the process of documenting the system, where my hands rested, how I moved around my client’s body and what sort of information I received from the client’s various bodies; the energetic, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical. Intuitive Energy Massage is an evolution of energy medicine and healing.
The name, Intuitive Energy Massage, incorporates beautifully what’s occurring within this system. The IEM Practitioner is trusting their intuition and connecting to their psychic abilities as they receive information about their client’s memories from this life time and past lives; they’re working with the flow of energy throughout the body, helping to shift energy blocks from emotional wounds. At the same time they’re moving the client’s body through the stretches and massage to help open and clear the entire energy system through the Chakras and the physical body.
By incorporating the conversation at the end of each session, where the IEM Practitioner shares with their client the information they’ve received and allows space for the client to share their experiences with them, the IEM Practitioner is creating an amazing container for deep and transformative healing. Among other things, it’s the Intuitive Counselling piece after the treatment that allows IEM to have such a profound impact on people.
More then a decade since I created Intuitive Energy Massage and four years of offering IEM training and certification with three levels of mastery, there are almost 40 IEM Practitioners offering this beautiful healing modality to their clients, friends and family. I've created five IEM Techniques, the Front, Back, Chair, Standing and Foot Chakra Massage so that IEM can be done virtually anywhere and under any conditions.
