Energy Work
Energy work can include acupuncture or acupressure from a Classical Chinese Medicine perspective, singing bowls, Reiki, essential oils, and/or tuning forks.
I approach energy work through both personal experience and an understanding of how the nervous system, stress response, and mind-body connection influence overall well-being. While subtle energy itself isn’t fully measurable with current scientific tools, research does show that relaxation, focused attention, and regulated breathing can positively affect the body and mind.
-
In my sessions, energy work is used to help support:
Stress regulation by encouraging the body’s natural relaxation response
Emotional processing by creating a safe, calm space for awareness and release
Mental clarity and focus through grounding and present-moment attention
Body awareness by helping clients tune into physical and energetic sensations
Overall balance by supporting the connection between mind, body, and emotions
Each session is individualized, and experiences can vary. My goal is always to offer a grounded, respectful, and supportive space.
Energy work is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, but a supportive practice intended to enhance overall well-being. for self-regulation, reflection, and well-being.
Sound Healing
A sound bath is a deeply restorative, meditative experience in which participants are immersed in healing sounds and vibrations. I use instruments such as Crystal Tones singing bowls, Koshi chimes, drums, and my voice, to create a space for rest, reflection, and renewal.
Rather than “doing” anything, you are invited to simply receive. You may lie down or sit comfortably while sound waves gently wash over the body, calming the nervous system and guiding the mind into a relaxed, meditative state.
Individual & group sound journey sessions are available
-
Sound travels through the body as vibration. These vibrations can help slow brainwave activity, shift the body out of stress response, and encourage deep relaxation. Many people experience a sense of grounding, emotional release, or mental clarity during or after a sound bath.
From a wellness perspective, sound baths may help:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Support nervous system regulation
Improve sleep and mental clarity
Encourage emotional release and relaxation
Create a sense of balance and inner calm
Each experience is unique—some people feel profound stillness, others notice imagery, insights, or gentle emotional shifts.
Scientists are still learning exactly how and why sound impacts the mind and body, but research shows promising effects on emotional and physiological states.
Sound baths are non-invasive and suitable for most people. No prior meditation or sound healing experience is necessary. You are welcome to show up exactly as you are—rest, listen, and allow the sounds to support your body and mind in their own natural way.
Shamanic Healing
As a shamanic ritual practitioner, my methods vary depending upon the emotional, physical, or mental aspects of the issues.
Our relationship can proceed from reverent and respectful exploration of symptoms and influences disturbing your harmony.
We can journey inwardly together to listen carefully to messages and hints, to read the symbols already present in the unseen dimensions of your being, and to devise a ceremonial and/or clinical plan to return you to balance and joyful pursuit of life and living.

Earth Wisdom has always been available to those willing to tap into ancient ways. Wisdom teachers and initiators have led untold numbers of people out of suffering and toward balance and harmony in their lives. Many of Mother Earth’s ancient peoples’ sacred teachings and medicines and modalities have receded back behind a curtain raised by what we often call modern industrial society.
While this is so, there are also far more cultural explorers than we readily recognize who walk sacred pathways amongst us who have become adept practitioners and skilled counselors when the dragon of change begins to capture us in its spell.
Transition times like those when maidens become mothers overlay joy with fear and doubt; times when life begins to give way to illness and death challenge our life’s choices and threaten to drown us in regret; when love devolves into grief and loss, or when a mother transitions to crone before her own innate wisdom shines from within her.
All of these transformations cry out for balance, healing, and intuitive medicine.
Meet your guide
Kristen Phipps has been a cultural explorer and wisdom seeker for decades. Her pathway has led her to wisdom teachers who taught her to kindle the spark of her own emotional growth and empowered her to ceremonially initiate such wisdom seeking in others.
While her academic pursuit of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture has taught her to be a skilled practitioner of these modalities, her long engagement with yoga, herbal medicines, and ceremonial initiation and rituals of life-stage transition elevate her ability to read the signs within her clients’ changing bodies and lives.
Anyone who feels stuck in the entanglements of transitions need only seek a guide to set them on a path of growth and personal power. Kristen offers herself as such a healer, teacher, companion, and guide.
“Being with Kristen has been transformational. She brings an astute presence that weaves images, spiritual practices, and research based knowledge as a supportive ground to move from.”
