Shannon has asked that question many times and received many different responses, including the one above. There is no capitalization intentionally so that you may insert your belief into that answer.
Energy makes your heart beat. What creates that energy?
God, the universe, your Self – any and all of those answers could be correct.
Energy is everywhere. It surrounds us. Energy is usually subtle. An individual may draw energy from within their own body or from others. Energy affects moods and health.
Energy-work is any work in which an individual has contact with another individual.
By that definition, a handshake* is energy-work. Think about it, what can you learn about a person from their handshake? That’s energy.
*Under normal circumstances, I do not charge for handshakes.
Shannon practices energy-work in several different formats:
Reiki [pronounced ray – key] is an energetic healing method. The practice of reiki has been known for thousands of years. Reiki practice uses ‘the laying on of hands’ to gently transmit energy. Reiki energy is not based on any religion, belief, faith, or suggestion. Reiki sessions can be one piece of your healing process or it may be included with others.
Touch for Health (TFH) is a safe, practical touch-healing process of balancing the body's natural
energies to reduce tension, manage the stresses of daily life, and increase overall energy. TFH is a combination
of Oriental principles and Western wellness techniques.
Touch for Health is an on-going passion for Shannon. She truly enjoys spreading the word and work of Touch for Health.

Ear coning helps clear debris and toxins from the ears. A long cone, similar to a rolled newspaper, is used. The cones are dipped in beeswax scented with essential oils. Heat from the flame creates a vacuum which draws the debris and toxins from the ear. Ancient civilizations [Egyptian, Chinese, Aztec, Tibetan, Mayan and American Indians] practiced ear coning. Current cultures still utilize this lost art to help the healing process.
Auric body coning is also available. Auric body coning helps remove negativity and imbalances from chakras and trauma points. Smaller cones similar to the ones described above are used for body coning.
Shannon uses chakra balancing and color therapy in tandem to remind the body how to heal. Different colors can represent joy, happiness, sadness, pain, sorrow, anger, frustration, healing, death, growth, freedom, memory, release, or any other emotion. Any and/or all of the pieces [puzzle pieces] listed here may also be used in a chakra balancing treatment.
These treatments all remind the body how to heal. Healing takes time.
Contact this practitioner for more details or to make an appointment.
Individual preparation: Please come into a treatment prepared to spend some time with your Self. While emergency sessions do occur, being prepared for a session is best. Eat well, and drink plenty of water, for 24-hours before any energy treatment. For example, drinking plenty of water before a massage therapy session will help the muscles be more relaxed and ready for a healing session.
