Why I Got Certified in Body Code

My journey with Body Code energy healing didn’t begin as a practitioner, but as a client. At the time, I was in a situation where I had been infected with a parasite after traveling to Mexico over the summer and it had gotten so bad that I could not even eat much of anything. I was up all night with stomach pain. I was at a loss of what to do and I saw a few different doctors – was told I needed labs and all kinds of supplements and no one really knew what was going on. Was it a parasite? Was it SIBO? Everything was on the table. Enter – energy healing. A friend of mine is a certified practitioner and after just one session, I was no longer in digestive distress. After experiencing several sessions on both me and my family members, I witnessed firsthand shift after energetic shift that could happen when trapped emotions were released and other imbalances in the body were corrected. The results were not just emotional or spiritual but physical and were so impressive that I became curious: could I learn to do this myself?

When I finally picked up Dr. Nelson’s book, I was no longer a skeptic—I was already a believer based on my personal experiences. What I didn’t expect, however, was how naturally the practice would come to me once I started learning the techniques. I’d seen it work as a client, but discovering that I had an knack for doing this was a pleasant surprise.

Discovering a Natural Gift

Sometimes in life, you stumble upon something you’re unexpectedly good at. That’s what happened with Body Code. From my first attempts at muscle testing and identifying trapped emotions and imbalances, there was a flow, an intuitive connection that felt different from anything else I had ever done or tried.

What began as a tool for emotional release quickly expanded into an invaluable resource for my daily health decisions. I discovered my muscle testing abilities were surprisingly accurate for determining what foods my body needed (or needed to avoid) each morning at breakfast. The practice evolved to help me pinpoint exactly how many drops of an essential oil would be most beneficial or how many pills of a particular supplement my body required that day—precision that no generic dosage recommendation could provide. I found I was equally good at pinpointing what my kids and husband needed as well – it was that specific and clear. Then I found I could do the same for friends who lived far away in other cities even. What the what?!

Even more surprising was how much joy I found in the process. There’s something profoundly satisfying about helping someone identify and release an emotional burden or imbalance they’ve been carrying—sometimes for decades. That moment when someone feels a tangible shift, when their body physically relaxes afterwards—it’s an incredible experience to facilitate.

From Book Learning to Certified Practitioner

I started like most people do—working through the exercises in Dr. Nelson’s book, practicing on willing friends and family members. The results were immediate and often profound. People reported feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace after our sessions.

The decision to pursue certification wasn’t actually about building a practice at first. It was about refining a skill I’d discovered I had a knack for. I wanted to understand the nuances, learn the advanced techniques, and become even more effective at something that already came naturally.

The certification process deepened both my technical skills and my intuitive abilities. Working with experienced mentors helped me refine my approach and taught me how to handle more complex cases. Most importantly, it gave me the confidence to work with a wider range of people and situations.

The Joy of Helping Others

Two certifications (Emotion Code and Body Code) and countless sessions and amazing successes and testimonials later, I find myself more drawn to this work. Being able to identify exactly where imbalances are stored and trapped in the body and which specific emotions need to be released to resolve them comes naturally to me, and watching the immediate shifts in people is rewarding but also mindblowing. When it works it works and I have learned not to question it too much and just go with it!

One such success story and experience truly nailed my belief in this energetic work. My son and I both got sick, but while I was fighting it off and just feeling slightly under the weather, I received news that my father had suddenly been hospitalized. The stress of his worsening condition quickly took its toll—I became severely congested and felt too ill to even visit him in the hospital which wasn’t good since I am his power of attorney and the only relative that lives in town!

In bed that day, I performed a Body Code session on myself, releasing trapped emotions related to my father’s hospitalization. The results were remarkable. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling completely better—100% recovered. After just one day of severe symptoms, I was able to visit my father with absolutely no lingering congestion or illness. He did not get sick from me either so I know I was completely well.

I also worked on my son who had developed a persistent cough during his illness. After one session focusing on releasing his trapped emotions, his cough completely disappeared by the next day. These weren’t coincidences—they were powerful confirmations of how emotions directly affect our physical well-being.

What I’ve come to understand is that trapped emotions create energetic imbalances in the body—like static in a radio signal. These imbalances disrupt the body’s natural healing capabilities and immune response. When we clear these trapped emotions, we’re essentially removing the interference and creating the optimal energetic terrain for the body to heal itself.

Dr. Nelson often explains that our bodies are designed with incredible self-healing mechanisms. However, trapped emotions act as barriers that prevent these mechanisms from functioning at full capacity. By identifying and releasing these emotional blocks, we’re not “curing” anything directly—we’re simply removing the obstacles so the body can return to its natural state of balance and activate its innate healing intelligence.

In my experience with both clients and my own family, once this energetic interference is cleared, the body often responds rapidly. Symptoms that had persisted despite other interventions suddenly improve because the body can finally access its full healing potential. It’s like removing a dam that was blocking a river—once cleared, the water naturally flows as it should.

What I love about Body Code is how tangible the results can be. Physical symptoms that haven’t responded to other treatments might improve dramatically when the underlying emotional components are addressed. Seeing someone experience relief after potentially years of discomfort is truly amazing.

Unlike some healing modalities that can leave practitioners feeling drained, Body Code energizes me. There’s something about being the facilitator for someone else’s healing that feels like a privilege rather than work.

Why Clients Choose to Work With Me

Clients often tell me they sought me out after seeing the remarkable results their friends experienced. “I’ve never seen anything work so well and lasting,” they say. What makes sessions with me different? My natural intuitive ability with the Body Code energetic healing approach creates a uniquely effective experience.

When you book a session with me, you benefit from:

• Intuitive accuracy – I can quickly identify exactly what YOUR body needs right now
• Monthly remote session subscription – We do not need to schedule time together so your busy schedule doesn’t need to mesh with mine. I work on you independently and send you an email report with your results and we follow up from there.
• Clear communication – I explain what I’m finding in straightforward terms you can actually understand
• Genuine results – Most clients feel tangible shifts during our very first session together but the committed continued work really uncovers root causes you never would have dreamed up on your own!

Why This Isn’t Talk Therapy (And Why That’s a Good Thing)

One of the most refreshing aspects of Body Code that clients appreciate is that you don’t need to share your deepest, darkest secrets with me. Unlike traditional talk therapy where you’re expected to verbally process every painful detail, Body Code allows us to identify and release trapped emotions without you having to relive or even discuss the experiences that created them.

Your body knows exactly where these emotions are stored and what needs to be released—our muscle testing simply allows us to access that information directly. Many clients are surprised and relieved to discover they can experience profound emotional healing without having to expose vulnerable stories they may not be comfortable sharing.

For a deeper exploration of how Emotion Code differs from traditional talk therapy, you can read my detailed blog post on “How Emotion Code Isn’t Talk Therapy (And Why That’s a Good Thing)”. You’ll discover why this approach often works faster and more effectively than conventional therapeutic methods, especially for those who find traditional therapy challenging or uncomfortable.
