How does energy medicine work? 

The mechanism behind energy medicine is still unclear.  However, some research suggests that Healing Touch works through pulsed electromagnetic fields.  Healers notice a sense of vibration, frequencies, resonance and energy as they work.  Clients often feel heat flowing from the practitioner’s hands, and they may feel the craniosacral rhythms in their own bodies. 

There are many scientific theories about healing.  Daphne is drawn to the theory of Dr. Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, who found that the brain waves of healers from around the world exhibit the same pattern, fluctuating between 7.8 - 8 hertz. Beck found this surprising, given that the healers he tested used a variety of different, and sometimes contradictory, techniques.

As he searched for a common denominator, he eventually came upon the fact that the fluctuation of the earth's magnetic field is between 7.8 to 8 hertz. These fluctuations are called Schumann waves.  Upon further investigation, Beck discovered that during healing moments, the healer's brain waves become synchronized with the earth's Schumann waves. 

One theory holds that as healers work with their clients, their bodies begin to resonate at the same rate, much as one tuning fork resonates with another.  Thus, as the healer's body synchronizes with the Schumann wave, it is possible that the client's body also synchronizes with the earth's magnetic field.  Is it this connection that provides the energy source -- the boost -- that stimulates "spontaneous" healing?  This theory has not been proven yet, but it is an intriguing possibility.

How many visits are necessary to obtain results? 

That depends on the severity of the condition and how long it has existed.  Problems that are relatively minor or that developed recently can often be treated with one, two or three sessions.  However, chronic conditions that took many years to develop will take longer to shift.  As with pharmaceuticals or physical therapy, energy medicine requires time and repetition to make a difference.

Daphne helps clients explore their short-and long-term goals for healing, and clients decide how often and they want to come in.  Some clients come weekly for support with difficult issues, and others come monthly to re-balance and restore.
