Energetic Consultation/Medical Intuition

Initial Appointment Package - Two (90min) Sessions / $300

An Energetic consultation/Medical Intuition session lets information come forward, with the clients permission, that may not be accessible on a conscious level.

Are you feeling stuck in life, confused about some aspect of how you choose to deal with your life, had a spiritual or energetic experience that you don’t know what to make of, trying to reach an elusive goal? Or perhaps the issue feels more about your health/medical situation…you’ve been to several doctors and have received treatment or diagnosis but it hasn’t helped you to understand the underpinnings of why/how/what now? Perhaps you just feel unwell and don’t know what type of doctor to go to for treatment - where to start? This type of appointment may help you to sort through these types of questions from a different perspective.

During this interactive process, you make a request of yourself for knowledge regarding how to heal, new understandings about how you experience your life, ask for guidance towards achieving a specific intention, etc.

There will be plenty of time to talk, and then to lie down and relax as we work with the energetic part of your session. As we work together, I read and interpret what I see in your energy field, what is going on in a specific area of your body, receive messages for how to reframe the way you are responding based on perceptions of life, or any other message that may come forth for your highest good. An energy reading is a communication from you, your guides, and Spirit, via your energetic body, which I then relay back to you.

I utilize intuitive, clairvoyant, shamanic, and energy sensing skills. I am able to work with a variety of client spiritual backgrounds, as this comes up, however this work is not about religion or spirituality in particular. All backgrounds are welcome and honored.

Medical insights that come up in a Medical Intuitive session, are a guide to continue your healing journey- I do not offer medical diagnosis. I am happy to refer you to the appropriate medical practitioners to follow up on our findings.

Please come to the session with 3 questions for yourself with which to work.

Energetic Consultation/Medical Intuition

Follow-up single sessions - 90 min/ $150

This is for ongoing client sessions, after the client has had a 2- Session Initial appointment sequence.

Thai /Shiatsu combination massage - 90 min/ $150 

A combination of Thai Massage and Shiatsu, this bodywork is done on a futon on the ground or a low massage table. I use my hands, feet, knees, and elbows during this treatment. There is no oil used in this treatment, and you will remain clothed.

Please wear comfortable, loose or stretchy clothes for your session.

Combines stretching, gentle compression, rocking, energy meridian work, pressure point therapy, and conscious breathwork. You decide whether you want deeper pressure or light touch, just tell me what you need for that days session.

This Thai/Shiatsu combo treatment session leaves you feeling relaxed and energized and brings balance to your whole being.

Massage Cupping Therapy - 90 min/ $150

A form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissue using vacuum suction. Oil is used, and you will be unclothed and draped with sheets.

Benefits of Massage Cupping Therapy include: reducing muscle pain and tension, reducing inflammation, promotes circulation, and brings relaxation. This therapy is technically termed “Dry Cupping”, in that I do not do any bleeding techniques. If you are in need of a different technique/treatment, I am happy to refer you a trusted Licensed Acupuncture practitioner.

This treatment can cause skin discoloration, which can take a few days to go away.

There are some conditions which are contraindicated including: cancer, skin lesions, direct work on varicose veins, clients with organ failure, clients with pacemakers, or hemophilia.

About Me

First things first….many people are curious about my name and my family background…my parents immigrated to this country, and my mother is Peruvian and my father is German, and hence the European name, but no blonde hair!

When I got married I decided to hyphenate my name to include my maiden name and my husbands name. Its super long, I know! 

I have been an intuitive/clairvoyant since childhood. I felt and sensed energetic information and knew things without knowing how I knew them. I could find lost items by feeling for their energy signature, and it was a funny game as a kid. However, it was somewhat confusing going through adolescence experiencing the world in ways for which I had no context or explanation and no one to guide me. I was keenly aware that others around me experienced the world differently. Mostly, I kept my version to myself and tried to blend into the surrounding agreed upon reality. As a teen, I became involved in church, Bible study, understanding my relationship to the Divine, singing in choir and later, all sorts of high school activities etc. But I did not ever feel safe to talk about what I was experiencing. I worried that people might think I was crazy or into some dark/evil explorations. This worry became more stressing to me because of family members that had existing mental health issues. In these teen years, I had a few profound clairvoyant, energetic, and spiritual experiences that left me feeling unsettled, but also, knowing that I was being directed to safely learn how to use these abilities in order to help others. I needed to understand what this was about for myself, to understand this calling.

Through pursuing an art degree, I began to make sense of my energy/psychic/spiritual experiences. The artwork which I created while earning a BFA in Sculpture at Arizona State University, was the result of sorting out my own experiences with energy, the spirit body, the unseen but felt, and mapping out how energy moves in/out/around our body. I was asking the questions “where does our physical body touch the spirit body or the soul - is it way deep inside or way far outside our physical body?” The answers…yes, yes, yes to everything and so much more! 

Once graduated from university, I began studying energetic systems and anatomy of the body while living in Bangkok, Thailand, having taken on an English teaching job. After many stress relieving Thai massages and gazing at ancient Thai medicine drawings of energy movement in the body, I was intrigued enough to begin taking classes. This experience, in addition to several energetic & spiritual experiences while traveling in various countries, provided a bridge between ancient practices and what I had been trying to understand through my art making. It all started to come together and led me to learning various healing modalities. Over the years, I have studied the first year of acupuncture school, certified in Shiatsu, completed massage school, trained in Kung Fu, meditation, Kundalini Breathwork, facilitation of inner dialogue work, studied with several spiritual teachers who were loving, kind and generous in teaching me, trained in clairvoyant/psychic/medium abilities and shamanic techniques, Acutonics Sound Healing, and Massage Cupping Therapy. 

All of these studies/practices are integrated into the work that I offer now. 

I love the work I do. I am delighted and humbled by partnering with my clients on their healing journeys, and offer my skills and services, in order to help people find health, healing, balance, and peace.

Lots of love, 

Ingrid
