Energy Healing
What is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is a type of healing that uses the universal life force energy to sooth mind, body and soul. It can help you balance the energy flow in your body, remove blockages, reduce pain, promote relaxation and improve your well-being in an amazing and 100% natural way.
There are different types of energy healing, such as Reiki and Ankh healing.
Reiki is a technique that involves the transfer of energy through the hands of the practitioner to the recipient. Ankh healing is a method that uses the Ankh to transmit the life force energy for healing. The Ankh is not very familiar in our modern day, but it is an ancient symbol and tool that has been used for healing and protection throughout many eras in history.
All energy healing is based around the innate understanding that everything is connected by its energy and that healing can occur on multiple levels (physically, emotionally, spiritually).
Energy healing is not to be underestimated, as it can be a powerful and transformative experience for anyone who is open to receive it. Besides, it is a 100% natural form of healing available to you anywhere and at any time. This may sound incredible, and it really is!
The Benefits of Energy Healing
These are some of the benefits of energy healing:
- Feel more relaxed and calm
- Boost your mood, feel more positive
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep
- Enhance your body’s natural healing ability
- Release pain and trauma
- Get more in tune with your body
- Release blocks and fears
- Improve your overall well-being
Because your body is a complex and interconnected system, the source of your discomfort is not always where you think it is. That is why energy healing does not focus only on the area that is troubling you, but rather on the whole body.
Energy healing helps you to relax and open up to the universal life force that flows through you. This way, your body can tap into its own natural healing abilities and find the best way to heal itself.
Energy healing supports your body with this natural process, by providing gentle and soothing energy that can restore your balance and harmony, and release blockages that are preventing your energy from flowing freely.
“Never have I ever felt better! Linda is a miracle worker, her energy healing has changed my life. I was skeptical at first, but that quickly vanished after just one session. I felt lighter, more confident and free. I couldn’t believe the way I felt, like it was too good to be true. Linda does amazing work, I can’t thank her enough for the difference she has made in my life. Thanks once again!” – Jordan
How can Energy Healing work?
I understand that healing through energy in this way can seem unbelievable for some people. And I get it! It is something you need to experience for yourself before your mind will fully accept it.
Because our minds are constantly talking to us, we often miss the subtle energetic sensations around us. But once you practice to quiet your mind, you will become more aware of energy in general.
The mind is often what keeps us trapped in a limiting idea of what is possible for us. That is important to realize, because it can be the key to becoming more open and accepting to the life force energy that is send to you during an energy healing. If you’re not ready to receive it, you will subconsciously not allow it in.
Once we learn to become the observer of our mind and our thoughts, we can discover the world of energy, and heal ourselves with it.
Do you know the story of the gorilla? He walks through the screen in a basketball video, and the majority of people doesn´t notice when they are focused on the game. Because if you are not focused on something, they are very easy to miss! Well, the same goes for energy healing. Many people have not learned to quiet their mind and tune into their body to be able to sense all that is possible once you do. Because the more quiet your mind, the more sensitive you become to the energy!
In Person or over a Distance?
What´s even better, is that energy healing can be given in person or over a distance. The experience is slightly different but the effects are similar!
The benefits of receiving a distance healing are that you can receive healing from the comforts of your own home (more comfort, no travel time), and it can be easier for you to relax.
The benefits of receiving a healing in person can be the overall experience, which some people prefer, as well as the option to do a more in-depth ankh healing and soul retrieval (more info below).
I am a certified and initiated Ankh Energy Healer and Reiki 2 Practicioner. I give healings both in person as well as over a distance.
How can Energy Healing work over a Distance?
You might wonder how energy healing can work over a distance, when the practitioner and the recipient are not physically together. And if you’re a bit skeptical, I get it, because it does sound strange!
But the truth is, energy healing is something you can only experience for yourself. And once you do, you will discover a whole new way of healing and enhancing your well-being.
The key is, you need to allow yourself to feel it, and be open to receiving it. Because intention is everything when it comes to energy work!
Here’s how energy healing works over a distance:
- The practitioner and the recipient agree on a time and a place for the session. They can communicate by phone, email, or video call before and after the session, but not during it.
- The practitioner prepares for the session by clearing their mind, setting their intention, and tuning into the recipient’s energy field. They can use a photo, a name, or a location to help them connect with the recipient.
- The recipient also prepares for the session by finding a comfortable and quiet place, where they can relax and focus on their breathing. They can also set their intention and ask for the healing they need.
- The practitioner channels the universal life force and directs it to the recipient, using their mind and their intuition. They can sense the recipient’s energy field and work to clear any blocks or imbalances that they find.
- The recipient receives the energy and allows it to flow through their body, mind, and spirit. They can feel sensations such as warmth, tingling, or relaxation. They can also experience emotional or mental shifts, such as insights, clarity, or peace.
- The practitioner and the recipient end the session by thanking each other and the universal life force. They can share their experiences and feedback with each other, if they wish.
As you can see, energy healing over a distance is possible and effective, because we are not limited by our physical reality. Through our minds, we can communicate and heal beyond time and space.
If you want to learn more about energy healing and how it can help you, you can read more on my blog or book a session with me. I would love to hear from you and share this amazing gift with you.
“Linda’s distant Reiki healing helped me during a few difficult days last year. I had to go through two weeks of intens medical examinations, dealing with physical pain and insecurity, not knowing what the outcome would be. During the session I felt a lot of vibrations in my body, especially my chest and arms (I was being examined for breast cancer). Afterwards I felt more relaxed and relieved. It was a very comforting experience. And in the end no breast cancer was found. I highly recommend Linda. She’s an experienced healer, who dedicates her precious time on earth to helping and guiding others.” – Lisanne
Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki is a form of energy healing that is passed on through the practicioner’s hands. Also when the healing is done over a distance.
During an in-person healing, the healer will channel the universal energy (not their own energy!), and pass it on to the client via their hands.
In person, the hands can be placed on the body or be held slighty above the body. Over a distance, the energy is also transmitted via the hands (as if the client was there in the same room as the practicioner).
Because the practicioner has been initiated, they can call on to the energy by setting the intention and using specific Reiki symbols.
Reiki helps to get your nervous system into the parasympathetic state, and to relax your nervous system. It’s extremely soothing for your whole system 😊

“Linda is a very talented, professional & incredibly gifted healer who knows her stuff! After our first session I noticed a huge difference; within 3 sessions I was more relaxed, open, confident, happier and positive. I’m so happy to have found you Linda, thank you for all your help! Exceptional service & highly recommended!!!” – Bobby
Ankh Energy Healing
Ankh healing uses the ankh, a sacred symbol of life and creation, to channel life force energy, balance your system, and remove blockages from your body.
Ankh healing is a powerful and ancient technique that can change your life. By using the ankh, you can access the healing benefits of life force energy and enhance your well-being.
In our modern day and age, the ankh has been forgotten about, but it has never lost its healing power and protective properties.
The two-legged ankh that I use is called an Atlantis cross because this particular type of ankh originates from the age of Atlantis, where it was used for healing purposes. When the ankh came to ancient Egypt, it (over time) transformed into a one-legged ankh, which is the ankh you see depicted in many ancient works of art. It has a different vibration.
The Ankh has the amazing capacity to attune itself to YOUR personal frequency during a healing. It will therefore give you exactly what you need at that particular moment.
I absolutely love working with the ankh because it’s such a powerful and effective tool for energy healing, with a very soothing energy.
When I received my first ankh healing, I was blown away. The block on my chest, that caused me to be short of breath, was removed within minutes. That’s when I knew: “I have to learn this!”
Through my training to become an ankh healer, my relationship with the ankh has deepened over time, and it keeps showing me how much is possible through working with this amazing tool!!
The wonderful sensations you can experience during an ankh healing are unlike anything else, but the only way to know is to come try it for yourself! ✨
“Hi Linda! What a relief I have discovered within myself after our wonderful Ankh healing. Not only after, but also during the session, I felt a major shift. I loved how calm your energy was and how you explained what you have been doing after the session. This gave me insights and helped me understand where my blockages have been sitting. I will definitely be back! 🩶✨” – Alice
“Linda makes you feel very comfortable and also gives you information in advance on how the healing works.
The special thing is that the Ankh shows her the blockages! During the healing I felt a tingling sensation in the places where my blockages were. It is hard to explain, because you really have to experience it but I felt so much lighter afterwards. My tensions were gone, I felt more grounded… I found this a very special experience, it is completely different from receiving Reiki.
Linda knows what she is doing, is a super soft sweet woman. Definitely a recommendation!” – Wendy

“I was fortunate to receive a distant Ankh healing and an activation whilst being hospitalized in South America due to acute appendicitis, including complications. After surgery I was experiencing a lot of pain and was unable to go to the bathroom without crying. Linda’s healing and activation contributed to a significant decrease in pain. I was able to go the bathroom without crying! I highly recommend Linda as an energy healer. She is a lovely person and a dedicated, experienced, compassionate and knowledgeable guide.” – Lisanne
FAQ
How should I prepare for the session?
To prepare for an energy healing session, I recommend the following:
✨ Set your intention: be open and receptive to whatever is ready to present itself. The more you can open yourself up, and let go of expectations, the more susceptible you will be to the energy.
✨ Try to relax: before the session, take a moment to calm your mind and get into a relaxed state (as much as your situation allows). Go for a walk in nature, take some deep breaths, listen to some relaxing music, take a bath, or do a meditation. Anything that helps your mind to quiet down.
✨ Drink some water before the session: this will help you stay hydrated and flush out any toxins.
✨ Eat a light meal up to a few hours before the session. Do not eat right before the session starts.
✨ Trust the process: you felt called to this session for a reason. Don’t worry about whatever sensations you might feel during the session; just set the intention to observe them without judgment and let them go.
✨ To prepare for a distance healing session: find a cozy and quiet place where you can lie down and relax. Make sure to turn off any devices so you don’t get disturbed.
What can I expect during the session?
During an in-person energy healing session:
✨ You will lie down on a comfortable table, fully clothed, and relax.
✨ Depending on the type of session, I will either place my hands on or above your body in a Reiki session, or use the ankh to locate and clear energy blocks in an Ankh healing session.
✨ You will receive healing energy that will flow to where it is needed in your body and mind. Be open and receptive to the energy and any sensations or emotions that may arise.
✨ You may feel warmth, tingling, wavy sensations, blocks being released (a popping or cracking sound/feeling), intense relaxation, sleepiness, growling stomach, burping, coughing, body twitching, sudden emotions, or nothing at all. Whatever you feel, just observe it without judgment and let it go. Don’t suppress any emotions or sadness that come up, as they are part of the healing process.
During a distance energy healing session:
✨ Find a cozy and quiet place at your home where you can lie down undisturbed and close your eyes.
✨ Create a soothing atmosphere by playing some relaxing music and burning a scented candle or essential oil.
✨ Be open and receptive to the healing energy and sensations that may arise in your body and mind.
✨ You may feel warmth, tingling, wavy sensations, blocks being released (a popping or cracking sound/feeling), intense relaxation, sleepiness, growling stomach, burping, coughing, body twitching, sudden emotions, or nothing at all. Whatever you feel, just observe it without judgment and let it go. Don’t suppress any emotions or sadness that come up, as they are part of the healing process.
✨ The above applies to any Distance Reiki healing session, and in some cases also to an Ankh Energy Activation (when used for healing purposes). In case an Ankh Energy Activation is done to boost/support your energy during a particular event, you do not need to lie down when I perform the activation.
What should I do after the session?
After an energy healing session, it is important to take it easy, and allow your body and mind to process the healing. The energy can continue to work for days after the session. Therefore, I advise you to:
✨ Drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins from your system.
✨ Eat light and healthy foods.
✨ Rest and relax as much as possible, and avoid overly intense activities or stress where possible. If you feel like it, take a nap, journal, meditate, or spend some time in nature.
✨Take a bath or a shower to clear your aura.
✨ Be gentle and compassionate with yourself, and acknowledge your healing process. You may experience different emotions, sensations, or insights during or after the session. Just observe them without judgment and let them go.
✨ In case you experience any physical pain after the healing, then know that this is part of the healing process. Physical pain after the healing is a sign that your body is releasing old energy and healing itself. Don’t ignore or suppress the pain, but listen to what it is telling you and take good care of yourself.
What if I don't feel anything?
Some people may not feel anything during or after an energy healing session, but that does not mean that the healing is not working. Energy healing is a subtle and individual process, and everyone responds differently to it.
Here are some possible reasons why you may not feel anything:
✨ You may have a low level of sensitivity to energy, or you may be used to suppressing your emotions. In that case, you may not notice the subtle changes in your energy field or body. However, the healing energy is still flowing and working on you, even if you don’t feel it.
✨ You may have received the healing energy that you needed, but not what you expected or wanted. Sometimes, the healing energy goes to where it is most needed, which may not be the same as where you think you need it. For example, you may want to heal a physical pain, but the healing energy may go to heal an emotional wound that is causing the pain. In that case, you may not feel any immediate relief, but you may notice some improvement later on.
✨ You may need more time to process and integrate the healing energy. Sometimes, the healing energy works on a deeper level that is not immediately apparent. You may need to wait for a few days, weeks, or even months before you notice the effects of the healing. You may also need to experience some physical or emotional triggers that help you release the old energy and make room for the new energy.
✨ You may have released the healing energy through other means. Sometimes, the healing energy is not felt as a sensation, but as a physical or emotional reaction. You may feel sleepy, tired, thirsty, hungry, or have a headache after a healing session. You may also have some emotional outbursts, such as crying, laughing, or anger. These are signs that the healing energy is working and clearing out the old energy from your system.
✨ You were not able to relax and quiet your mind enough to feel the energy. When you feel tense or stressed, or feel skeptical of the process, your mind will get in the way of your ability to sense subtle energies.
So, if you don’t feel anything during or after an energy healing session, don’t worry! It doesn’t mean that the healing is not working. It just means that the healing is working in a different way than you expected. Trust the process and be patient with yourself 🤍
Are there potential risks or side effects?
Energy healing is a 100% natural practice that makes use of life force universal energy to remove blocks and increase your energy flow to improve your well-being.
Because the energy works on a soul level, you cannot receive what you aren’t ready to receive. Therefore, energy healing is actually one of the safest forms (if not the safest form) of healing available to you.
Some people may experience side effects after an energy healing session, but these are not necessarily negative or harmful. In fact, they can be seen as signs that the healing process is working and that your body and mind are releasing old energy and adjusting to the new energy flow.
The side effects that you might label as a potential risk include the following:
✨ Physical discomfort. Some people may feel pressure, heat, cold, tingling, or pain in the areas where the healer places their hands or tools. This pain or discomfort is a sign of energy blockages being released and rebalanced.
✨ Some people may experience physical pain after the healing is over. In case you experience any physical pain after the healing, then know that this is part of the healing process. Physical pain after the healing is a sign that your body is releasing old energy and healing itself. Please note: It is important that you don’t ignore or suppress the pain (!), but listen to what it is telling you and take good care of yourself. Consult me if the pain persists and we can determine what the options are, and whether another session is required.
✨ Energy healing may trigger emotional responses, such as crying, laughing, anger, sadness, or fear. These are signs of emotional healing or cleansing, but it can be overwhelming or distressing for some people. Don’t suppress these emotions, but allow them to flow out of your system.
✨ Energy healing may cause a temporary worsening of symptoms or the emergence of new symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, nausea, or flu-like feelings. This is a sign of the body detoxifying and adjusting itself to the new energy flow, but it might feel unpleasant or inconvenient.
✨ When booking an energy healing session, choose a qualified and trained healer who you trust and feel comfortable with. A good healer should have ethical standards, pure intentions, and a deep understanding of the energy system. As a certified Ankh Energy Healer and Reiki 2 Practitioner, I have undergone rigorous training and received the necessary initiations to offer these types of healing.
Which type of energy healing is best for me: Reiki or Ankh healing?
Reiki and Ankh healing are both forms of energy healing that involve channeling life force energy to remove blockages and improve your well-being. However, there are some differences, and Reiki and Ankh healing are often received as very different experiences.
In Reiki, the healing energy is transmitted via the hands, and in Ankh healing, the energy is transmitted via the ankh; a metal tool in the shape of the sacred ankh symbol of life and creation.
In general, I would describe Reiki as a more subtle method, which helps with relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, emotional relief and overall well-being. The Ankh amplifies the energy.
Ankh healing can feel more intense than Reiki. Ankh healing is great for deep healing, emotional release, boosting mood, boosting energy flow, removing blocks, expansion of consciousness, spiritual alignment and solid grounding.
The best type of energy healing for you may depend on your personal preferences, needs, goals, and sensitivity to the energy. During a session I will always tune into your energy and adjust according to your needs.
In case you book an in-person healing, we can decide during the session which type of healing is best for you. I can then feel and determine how you respond to the ankh’s energy. Sometimes, I combine both Reiki and the Ankh during a session.
During a Distance Energy Healing, I also combine both Reiki and the Ankh. This is the ‘go-t0’ healing I recommend.
In case you have a challenging event or occurence coming up in your life, an Ankh energy activation can provide extra support during the time of that event. I use the Ankh for this because of its power.
You can find more information on my website. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
How do I know if energy healing is for me?
Energy healing can have many benefits, such as relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, emotional healing, and spiritual alignment. However, energy healing may not be for everyone, and it may depend on your personal preferences, needs, goals, and sensitivity to the energy.
Here are some possible ways to know if energy healing is for you:
✨ You are curious and open-minded about alternative forms of healing and understand that there is a lot more out there than what is covered by conventional medicine or science.
✨ You are highly sensitive to energy and can feel the subtle changes in your energy field or body.
✨ You have a holistic view of health and well-being, and you believe that your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects are interconnected.
✨ You have tried other forms of healing or therapy, but they did not work for you or address the root cause of your issues.
✨ You are looking for a natural, non-invasive, and gentle way of healing yourself or others.
✨ You are interested in exploring your inner self, your purpose, and your connection to the universe.
If you resonate with any of these statements, you may want to give energy healing a try. Reiki and Ankh healing can even be done remotely (distance healing). You can find more information and answers to your question on my site.
“I had two distance healing sessions with Linda and they were both amazing experiences. The first healing was before my ayahuasca ceremonies. At that time, I was feeling all restless inside. As Linda started the healing, I felt a bit sad for a while, but that feeling eased up before long. I could sense something stuck in my chest and heart, making it hard to breathe. Linda picked up on the same sensation – even though I hadn’t told her about it before.
The second healing was 6 weeks later and totally different. I felt super relaxed, almost like I was floating. I had relaxing music playing, which helped me go deeper and made the experience visual. Linda picked up on the dryness in the back of her tongue and it’s kinda funny because I totally forgot to drink enough water.
Linda is talented in helping you to navigate your energy in a more healthy way. The distance energy healing is a calming and rejuvenating experience. It’s like a reset button that leaves you feeling more balanced and renewed.” – Daniela
