FAQs: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Inner Energy Health?
Inner Energy Health is a customized mind-body treatment approach to dealing with everyday stressors and giving you tools to maintain your well-being and emotional health. 

What do you do in an Inner Energy Health session?
I don't subscribe to a ‘one size fits all' treatment method. But generally speaking, much of the first session is spent carefully listening to the client and clarifying issues and goals. The chosen method for working with your particular issue will depend upon answers from energy diagnostics, your input and my intuitive impressions.  (See ‘Methods and Tools' for a list of treatment approaches). I often use energy balancing at the start of a session to maximize your system's receptivity to treatment. 

You talk about energetic blocks on your homepage --- what are they?
Electromagnetic current pulses throughout our bodies including our minds. This is not ‘woo-woo', but is supported by findings in the developing field of bio-energetic medicine. Our sensitive energy flow can become disrupted by many things creating a kind of energetic ‘short circuit', resulting in an energetic ‘block'.  Among the causes might be a sudden upset, radiation exposure, an insult to the body, or a negative thought. When our energy system is imbalanced, we are more susceptible to developing negative emotions, fears, intrusive memories, physical complaints and a host of difficulties.  There's nothing wrong with you for developing an energy block! We are all subject to this if we are alive and living! 

How do I get rid of these blocks?
There are many possibilities.  Since I use an eclectic approach the treatment possibilities are varied. I work with you to find the modality best suited to your need.  At times a combination of several approaches is needed. It all depends on your particular need in the particular situation.

Does your treatment address physical as well as emotional issues?       The mind and body are one; physical issues may develop from many factors and emotional issues may be enmeshed regardless of whether they are the cause or the effect. Without making any promises, Inner Energy Health treatment is likely ease the difficulty so you feel better all over.

What should I expect as a result of treatment?                                             Many report relief of the specific problem that had been treated.  Others describe feeling ‘lighter' as if relieved of a heavy burden and report they can go about their business better. Some experience a tangible reduction in negative stress and tension and notice feeling more free-flowing and creatively connected. I've heard it said that the treatment is kind of like pushing the ‘reset' button on an electronic device.

Do these methods work with children?
Often exceptionally well.  The parent must first meet with me at the initial session. Care is taken in approaching even the most sensitive issues and.children can be treated without pressure to talk directly about their issue unless they so wish. Young children, whose cooperation may be difficult to enlist, can often be treated by working with the mother in their stead.

Do your methods have Rabbinic approval?
Attention to the halachic acceptability of all methods used in Inner Energy Health is of prime concern to me.  Rav Daniel Kohn of Bat Ayin, who is well versed in holistic and alternative treatments has reviewed all my modalities and endorsed my practice.

What is the length, frequency and duration of treatment sessions? Treatment sessions generally run an hour, meeting once and occasionally twice per week.  In many cases improvement for a particular issue is experienced in two sessions or even less. Although it is impossible to state with certainty how many sessions will be required, generally speaking, a much shorter course of treatment can often be expected compared to conventional therapy.

Are results long lasting?
Generally speaking issues that have been dealt with successfully do not become ‘undone'. However new or related aspects that were not addressed may subsequently surface, requiring further attention. Since the focus in my practice is on personal empowerment, I will be teaching you the tools that can help you to help yourself, and you can continue to apply them long after we have finished meeting.

". . . Sara's . . . position is actually more honest than that inherent in 'official' mental health professions of psychology and psychiatry, which purport to 'treat' quasi-illnesses which are really just stress reactions to the trials and tribulations of life - the implicit medical model which exists predominantly for economic and professional market-place reasons (rather than having scientific validity)."
