About Energy Psychology

Energy psychology (also known as cognitive somatic practices) is a family of mind-body methods that rapidly reduce stress and trauma while increasing calm. Calming the body (where stress is stored) is a missing key to unlocking rapid change.  


Energy psychology methods combine cognitive interventions with somatic techniques that influence the human bio-energy systems such as meridians, chakras and the biofield to elevate physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It has been shown to be evidenced based, cost effective and empowering for clients. 


Energy psychology integrates well with other methods and includes self-help techniques. 


These methods can facilitate transformational change including: 

  • Resolving trauma, anxiety and other clinical disorders
  • Working and living in flow 
  • Improving performance in the arts, sports, school and business 
  • Living with greater connection, love and clarity 


Historically, energy psychology methods integrate concepts and techniques from related fields, including acupuncture meridian theory, neuroscience, physics/quantum mechanics, biology, medicine, chiropractic, and psychology to facilitate change. Since the 1970s, these methods have been further developed, refined, and supported via clinical experience and research across multiple areas of application. For example, these methods have been beneficially integrated into the psychotherapy process, nursing, medicine, coaching, athletics, and education.
