What is energy healing?

Energy healing is a broad term for practices that work with the body's energy system to promote health and wellbeing. It is based on the principle that everything is energy, and that our physical, emotional, and mental health are influenced by the state of our energy body. Ana works with multiple energy healing traditions including shamanic healing, Reiki, crystal therapy, and luminous energy field work.

Is energy healing real?

Energy healing has been practised across cultures for thousands of years and is increasingly being studied and integrated into modern healthcare settings. While the mechanisms are not fully understood by Western science, the effects are well documented by practitioners and clients alike. Ana has witnessed profound transformations in her 17 years of practice.

Can energy healing be done remotely?

Absolutely. Energy is not limited by physical distance. Remote energy healing sessions are conducted via video call and are just as effective as in-person work. Ana works with clients across the world from her base in Portugal.

What does energy healing feel like?

Experiences vary from person to person. Common sensations include warmth, tingling, lightness, emotional release, deep relaxation, or a sense of peace. Some people see colours or images. Others simply feel calm. There is no wrong way to experience energy healing.

How is energy healing different from therapy?

Energy healing works with the energetic and spiritual dimensions of a person, while therapy typically addresses the psychological and cognitive aspects. They are complementary rather than competing approaches. Many of Ana's clients work with a therapist alongside their energy healing sessions.

Who can benefit from energy healing?

Anyone. Energy healing can support people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, chronic pain, fatigue, life transitions, spiritual awakening, or simply the desire for greater balance and clarity. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from this work.
