Transgenerational Clearing Intake Session
Our individual soul is deeply connected to the larger family system. Often, unresolved experiences, patterns, and wounds are carried forward through generations until they are fully acknowledged with compassion, support, love, and forgiveness.
When we clear patterns that did not begin with us and cultivate an energy field aligned with the highest expression of ourselves, the effects can extend beyond our personal lives and influence our relationships with others. During our sessions, we use Transgenerational Clearing along with other modalities described on this site to help reveal what is ready to be acknowledged, healed, and transformed.
These clearings and exercises create sacred space for a new way of being to emerge and become embodied in daily life.
Question 1: How does Transgenerational Clearing work?
Answer:
Transgenerational Clearing helps release energetic, emotional, and behavioral patterns associated with inherited family trauma, allowing the body and nervous system to access greater wisdom, resilience, and balance.
Many traditions and emerging perspectives in science suggest that focused attention influences our experience of reality. Our beliefs, judgments, and inherited conditioning often shape what we notice, feel, and create in our lives. Over time, these patterns can narrow our perception of what is possible.
Transgenerational Clearing helps loosen the grip of these inherited patterns, creating greater openness, curiosity, and freedom of choice. As longstanding emotional and energetic imprints are released, clients often report feeling more present, grounded, and connected with their authentic selves.
This process can be experienced in many ways. Some clients notice sensations of spaciousness, lightness, warmth, movement, pulsing, or waves of energy within the body. Others experience emotional release, deep stillness, or a renewed sense of possibility. Physical responses such as heat, chills, trembling, or shaking may also occur as the nervous system adapts to healthier patterns and a new sense of equilibrium.
Question 2: When you do Transgenerational Clearing, does it also affect ancestors and descendants?
Answer:
As individuals heal and transform longstanding patterns, the effects are often felt throughout the family system. Changes in beliefs, behaviors, emotional responses, and relationships can naturally influence how family members interact with one another.
Whether others benefit directly depends largely on their willingness to engage with new possibilities and release patterns that no longer serve them. When we become less identified with old judgments, fears, and limiting beliefs, we often relate to ourselves and others in healthier and more compassionate ways. This shift may inspire positive change in those around us.
Many clients report improvements in family relationships, increased harmony, and unexpected positive shifts among relatives following their sessions. Some also describe experiencing a greater sense of connection and resolution with deceased family members as unresolved emotional or energetic ties are addressed during the clearing process.
In some cases, clients have even reported positive changes in the well-being of family pets and other members of the household as the overall family environment becomes more balanced and harmonious.
Question 3: What do I do during a Transgenerational Clearing session? What are you doing?
Answer:
During a Transgenerational Clearing session, you are learning how deeply held beliefs, interpretations, emotions, and experiences have been encoded within your body, mind, and energetic awareness.
Rather than asking you to search for answers with your mind, I will invite you to allow images, memories, emotions, sensations, or impressions to arise naturally. These experiences may come from childhood, family patterns, or ancestral influences. The goal is not to analyze them, but to observe them with curiosity and openness.
As these memories or images emerge, I may ask questions such as, "What were you saying to yourself deep inside at that time?" or "What belief was formed from this experience?" Often, the beliefs we internalize when we are young continue to influence our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical responses throughout life.
Together, we identify and work with these underlying patterns. Through guided awareness, breathwork, and energetic clearing techniques, we create an opportunity for old patterns to release and new possibilities to emerge.
As shifts occur, clients commonly notice changes in bodily sensations, emotions, or levels of calmness and clarity. Sometimes these changes occur immediately, while at other times they unfold in layers over a period of time. A sensation may change in intensity, location, quality, or emotional meaning as the process progresses.
Another important part of the session is working with the breath. Gentle breathing practices help regulate the nervous system and support greater presence and relaxation. You may be invited to take slow, comfortable breaths through your nose while continuing to remain aware of the sensations arising in your body. The breath is not intended to distract you from your experience, but rather to support and deepen your awareness of it.
Throughout the session, I am facilitating the clearing process by holding a supportive space, guiding your attention, and applying the energetic techniques that are part of this work.
Integration - The final phase of the session is integration.
As your body settles into a more open, balanced, and relaxed state, you will be given time to rest with these new sensations and experiences. During this phase, I continue working to support the integration of the shifts that have occurred.
Before the session concludes, I will share any observations, recommendations, or practices that may support you moving forward. Questions are always welcome. Often, the questions that arise during a session become an important part of creating new perspectives and supporting lasting change.
All sessions begin by reviewing any relevant health recommendations from your healthcare providers, your intentions for the session, and the information provided in your Pre-Session Form.
The Pre-Session Form can also be used between sessions to record questions, observations, and concerns so that you do not need to carry them mentally. When describing an issue, it is often most helpful to summarize it in a single sentence and allow the deeper details to emerge naturally during the session.
If you are unsure what to focus on during a session, I will offer recommendations based on my experience and observations.
This work is the result of decades of study, training, exploration, and practical experience. While some aspects of the process can be understood intellectually, many clients find the greatest benefit comes from approaching the experience with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to observe what unfolds.
Question 4: What do I do with pain or uncomfortable sensations?
Answer:
During a session, uncomfortable sensations are approached with curiosity rather than resistance. Instead of focusing on what the sensation means or attempting to analyze it, you will be encouraged to notice it, breathe with it, and allow it to communicate what it needs to reveal.
Many people automatically label sensations as "pain," "tension," or "a problem." While these descriptions may be accurate, repeatedly focusing on labels can sometimes keep our attention fixed on the discomfort rather than on the changes that are occurring within it.
As you remain present with a sensation, it often begins to shift. It may change in intensity, location, temperature, movement, or emotional quality. These changes are frequently experienced as signs that the body and nervous system are processing information in a new way.
The key is to remain grounded, breathe gently, and stay curious about what is happening rather than becoming attached to a particular outcome. Observing subtle changes often provides greater insight than judging whether the sensation is getting better or worse.
Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, more relaxed, or more connected to themselves as the process unfolds. In some cases, the original concern no longer carries the same emotional charge it once did.
What you do between sessions is just as important as what happens during a session. Applying the guidance, practices, and perspectives discussed during our work together helps support continued growth and integration.
Because this material is extensive and continually evolving, it can be helpful to revisit these guidelines periodically. Repetition often strengthens learning and makes it easier to apply new patterns in daily life.
Question 5: Can this work support dental concerns?
Answer:
Many clients have used Transgenerational Clearing as a complementary practice while receiving dental treatment, recovering from dental procedures, or addressing concerns related to oral health and well-being.
Some clients report experiencing greater relaxation, reduced stress, and improved comfort during the healing process. Because the body functions as an interconnected system, changes in emotional and nervous system regulation may positively influence a person's overall sense of health and recovery.
However, Transgenerational Clearing is not a substitute for professional dental care, medical treatment, or advice from licensed healthcare providers. Any dental concerns should be evaluated and treated by your dentist or healthcare team.
Question 6: What Is Transgenerational Memory and What Evidence Do We Have That It Exists?
Answer:
Transgenerational Memory refers to the ways experiences, patterns, beliefs, emotional responses, and gifts can be carried across generations. In this work, transgenerational memory includes both inherited challenges and inherited strengths.
Unresolved trauma, chronic stress, family beliefs, and emotional patterns can influence how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. At the same time, resilience, wisdom, creativity, courage, and other gifts can also be passed through family lineages.
Modern research into transgenerational trauma and epigenetics suggests that the effects of trauma can extend beyond the individual directly experiencing it. Studies have shown that significant stress and traumatic experiences may influence future generations through biological and behavioral pathways. While researchers continue to explore the exact mechanisms involved, growing evidence supports the idea that the experiences of one generation can affect the health and well-being of subsequent generations.
From an energetic and spiritual perspective, Transgenerational Clearing works with the unresolved patterns, emotional imprints, and inherited memories that may be influencing your life today. As these patterns are acknowledged and released, clients often report feeling greater freedom, clarity, connection, and alignment with their authentic selves.
As transgenerational patterns and unresolved trauma begin to resolve, many clients report:
• Feeling greater safety within their body, their relationships, and their daily lives
• Experiencing a stronger sense of purpose, meaning, and personal direction
• Recognizing and embracing inherited strengths, talents, and gifts
• Greater enjoyment of life's opportunities, relationships, health, and work
• Reduced self-sabotaging behaviors such as procrastination, overthinking, or unhealthy habits
• Increased trust in their intuition and inner guidance
• Improved relationships and deeper feelings of compassion, connection, and love
• A greater sense of peace, possibility, and personal fulfillment
For those interested in learning more about the scientific research surrounding inherited trauma, please see this article on transgenerational trauma and resilience:
Destructive transgenerational patterns and limiting beliefs are cleared, creating space for greater awareness, freedom, and possibility. As blocks to joy, love, abundance, and innate potential dissolve, you naturally align with your authentic self and the life your heart is calling you to live.

Creating Your New Energetic Field
Releasing Old Patterns and Creating New Possibilities
The membrane of every cell continuously responds to signals from its environment. Our experiences, perceptions, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors can influence how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. When we consciously complete old emotional patterns rather than repeating them through habit, imitation, or unconscious reactions, we create the opportunity for new ways of being to emerge.
Within each of us exists tremendous potential. While genetics may influence certain tendencies and predispositions, our choices, relationships, beliefs, behaviors, and life experiences play an important role in how that potential is expressed.
We all experience two general types of thinking. The first is conscious, deliberate thinking that we can direct intentionally. The second is automatic thinking, which occurs beneath conscious awareness and is often shaped by previous experiences, conditioning, and learned patterns.
These automatic patterns influence the ongoing relationship between our emotions, bodily sensations, and thoughts. Over time, this relationship contributes to our beliefs about ourselves, others, and life itself. These beliefs form our mindset, which in turn influences the choices we make and the experiences we create.
When automatic thinking is heavily influenced by fear, stress, or unresolved trauma, including patterns that may have been passed through generations, it can contribute to emotional distress and limit our sense of well-being. Creating lasting change often requires not only new insights, but also new experiences and new ways of relating to ourselves.
Through Transgenerational Clearing, inherited patterns and unresolved emotional imprints are brought into awareness and released. As these patterns lose their influence, many clients report experiencing greater calm, ease, openness, and emotional flexibility.
By intentionally spending time with these new sensations and states of being, the nervous system has an opportunity to reinforce healthier patterns. Consistent practice helps strengthen these experiences and supports the development of new habits, perspectives, and responses.
The simple practice of breathing into sensations that would normally be judged, resisted, or labeled can also help reduce automatic reactions and increase present-moment awareness. As old survival-based patterns are released, greater space becomes available to discover your authentic desires and create a life guided by purpose rather than fear.
Because this work involves both clearing and learning, sessions scheduled weekly or every other week often provide the greatest support for integration and long-term change.
As the process unfolds, many clients notice that their body's natural capacity for balance and self-regulation becomes more apparent. Feelings of contraction, tension, or overwhelm may gradually be replaced by sensations of neutrality, ease, spaciousness, or calm.
In these moments, many people discover a deeper sense of trust in themselves and in life. Rather than being dominated by old stories, fears, or expectations, they become more available to the wisdom of the present moment.
This state of openness creates space for greater clarity, creativity, resilience, and connection. It is often here that people begin to recognize their own beauty, strength, and innate worth more fully.
As you continue this practice, you become increasingly free to express your authentic self and support your overall well-being. By bringing awareness to your experiences, breathing through sensations without judgment, and consciously nurturing the qualities you wish to grow, you strengthen the foundation for lasting transformation.
Your daily choices help shape the emotional, mental, and physical realities you experience.
Within this new space, nourish yourself with activities that bring genuine joy and fulfillment. Whether that includes singing, dancing, traveling, creating, spending time in nature, or deepening meaningful relationships, consistent self-care and support are essential.
When you regularly engage in activities that nourish your body, mind, and spirit, you reinforce the qualities and experiences you wish to cultivate in your life.
What you do between sessions can be just as impactful as what happens during them. The information shared here is intended to support your ongoing growth and help you recognize and transform limiting habits such as excessive judgment, labeling, over-identification with thoughts, perfectionism, or rigid expectations.
For those interested in deepening this process, the meditations and books of Dr. Joe Dispenza, including Becoming Supernatural, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, and Meditations for Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, may provide valuable support and inspiration.
When we remain open to possibility, curiosity, and growth, the benefits of the clearing process often continue to unfold long after a session has ended. In doing so, we remain open not only to what we can imagine, but also to possibilities greater than we may have envisioned for ourselves.
Working with More than one Therapeutic Modality
Question 7: I am currently working with a therapist. What is your opinion on that?
Answer:
Working with a therapist, healthcare provider, or other qualified practitioner alongside Transgenerational Clearing can be an excellent source of support. In fact, many clients find that combining approaches provides a more comprehensive foundation for healing, growth, and well-being.
Transgenerational Clearing is designed to complement, not replace, therapy, medical care, dental treatment, or other professional services. As limiting patterns and inherited emotional imprints are released, clients often report gaining greater clarity, openness, and receptivity, which may enhance their ability to engage with other forms of treatment and support.
.
Many clients choose to schedule clearing sessions before therapy appointments, medical consultations, surgeries, dental procedures, or other important life events. They often report feeling more centered, calm, and prepared for the experiences ahead.
For additional information, please visit the Clearing/Surgical Elixir page.
Over the years, I have observed this work being used alongside a wide variety of therapeutic and healing modalities. Clients have reported benefits such as:
- Greater clarity and insight during therapy sessions
- Increased responsiveness to bodywork and acupuncture
- Improved emotional readiness for treatment and recovery
- A greater sense of calm before medical or dental procedures
- Enhanced integration of insights and personal growth
For practitioners and resources I have personally explored or highly recommend, please visit the Practitioner Support page.
Question 8: Can EMDR do the same things as this work?
Answer:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a well-established therapeutic approach that uses bilateral stimulation to help individuals process and resolve traumatic experiences. Many people experience significant healing and symptom relief through EMDR.
Transgenerational Clearing approaches healing from a different perspective. While EMDR primarily focuses on processing and integrating specific traumatic experiences, Transgenerational Clearing also explores inherited family patterns, transgenerational influences, beliefs, emotional imprints, and energetic dynamics that may be shaping present-day experiences.
In my experience, some clients find that EMDR alone meets their needs, while others choose to combine it with Transgenerational Clearing for a broader exploration of the patterns influencing their lives. Many clients report that the two approaches can complement each other well.
I have worked with individuals who previously participated in EMDR, tapping, hypnotherapy, coaching, and other personal growth modalities. Some have reported experiencing additional insights or shifts through Transgenerational Clearing, particularly when exploring family patterns and inherited influences. However, every person is unique, and results vary based on the individual, their history, and their goals.
Rather than viewing one approach as better than another, I encourage people to discover which combination of tools and resources best supports their personal healing journey.
The Effectiveness of Working Remotely and Sensitivity
Question 9: How can you do remote clearings without Autonomic Response Testing or having a relationship with the other person? Are there limitations?
Answer:
My approach does not rely on Autonomic Response Testing or on having an established relationship with a client before the work begins. Instead, I focus on listening deeply to what is arising in the client's experience and allowing the client's body, mind, and energetic awareness to guide the process. This enables me to remain present and responsive to what is most important in the moment.
What makes this work powerful is not only the techniques being used, but also your willingness to show up for yourself with openness, curiosity, and a desire for change. As you engage in the process, your own innate capacity for healing, growth, and self-discovery has an opportunity to unfold.
In my experience, there is a deeper field of awareness that connects us all. I often refer to this as a "Knowing Field." Within this field, insights, memories, patterns, and opportunities for growth can emerge in ways that support healing and understanding.
From this perspective, unresolved family patterns, emotional wounds, and inherited influences remain active until they are acknowledged, understood, and transformed. Transgenerational Clearing works with these patterns so that greater freedom, clarity, and possibility can become available.
I have facilitated this work both in person and remotely and have found that meaningful shifts can occur in either setting. In fact, many clients find that closing their eyes and turning their attention inward helps them access a deeper level of awareness. Because of this, phone sessions can be just as effective as in-person or video sessions for many individuals.
Working remotely can reduce distractions and encourage a stronger connection with inner sensations, emotions, memories, and intuitive insights. Since much of the process involves internal awareness, the physical distance between practitioner and client is often less important than the quality of presence and engagement brought to the session.
Like any healing modality, there are limitations. Results vary from person to person and are influenced by factors such as readiness for change, willingness to engage in the process, consistency with integration practices, and the complexity of the issues being explored.
Transgenerational Clearing is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical or mental health conditions, nor is it a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or other healthcare services. Rather, it is designed to complement and support a person's overall healing, growth, and well-being.
Many clients report noticing shifts, insights, increased awareness, or positive changes even before their first session takes place. While everyone's experience is unique, it is not uncommon for people to begin reflecting on their intentions and patterns as soon as they commit to the process. This increased awareness can often become the first step toward meaningful transformation.
Scheduling Sessions & Improving My Session
Question 10: How often should I schedule sessions?
Answer:
The frequency of sessions depends on the number of issues you would like to address, how well you are integrating and retaining the material, and your own inner knowing about the level of support you need.
For most clients, I recommend starting with weekly or every-other-week sessions. This provides optimal energetic support as well as educational support while you learn new ways of relating to yourself and your experiences.
As you begin integrating the work, retaining the information, and experiencing the improvements you desire, you may naturally choose to increase the time between sessions. The goal is to find a pace that feels supportive and sustainable for you.
Starting or increasing the frequency of sessions is not limited to new clients. Life naturally moves through seasons. There may be times when additional support is helpful, even after a long period of not needing it. Just as we may seek extra support during periods of physical illness, major life transitions, stress, loss, or personal growth can create a need for more frequent sessions.
During sessions, I often provide a three-week "marination" practice designed to support the integration of new experiences, perspectives, and habits. This process helps reinforce what is being learned and encourages lasting change.
Marinations are separate from your session schedule, and you may have more than one marination practice occurring simultaneously. Many clients find these practices helpful for maintaining focus on the qualities and experiences they wish to cultivate in their lives
.
Question 11: How can I get the most out of my sessions?
Answer:
The sessions provide both clearing work and educational support, so it is beneficial to review your notes, insights, and the Free Intake Session page at least 24 hours after each session.
Keep your Pre-Session Form available between sessions so you can record observations, questions, patterns, and breakthroughs as they arise. Reviewing your notes prior to your next session often helps create greater clarity and focus for our work together.
Using the Sensation Form in your daily life can also help develop the habit of listening to your body's sensations rather than immediately labeling, judging, or analyzing them. Reviewing the Free Intake Session page before each appointment can further strengthen your intention, learning, and momentum.
Another way to deepen the work is by consciously acknowledging and receiving the improvements you experience, even when they seem small. Growth often occurs through a series of subtle shifts that build upon one another over time.
Many clients find it helpful to notice and appreciate experiences such as:
- Greater ease or relaxation
- Increased clarity
- Improved sleep
- A sense of openness or spaciousness
- More balanced emotions
- Improved relationships
- Moments of peace, joy, or gratitude
When we recognize positive changes, we naturally reinforce them. Gratitude and acknowledgment help strengthen momentum and encourage further growth.
Likewise, spending time with sensations of openness, lightness, relaxation, calm, or well-being can help deepen your awareness of these states and make them more accessible in daily life.
Allow yourself to be where you are without judgment. Trust the process. Savor the qualities and experiences you would like to cultivate. As you notice, appreciate, and receive the shifts occurring in your life, you create greater momentum toward the changes you seek.
The more you acknowledge your progress, the more naturally that progress continues to unfold.
Question 12: What if I feel like I need additional support during this process?
Answer:
Sometimes people feel safer having a local therapist, counselor, or trusted practitioner supporting them while they engage in Transgenerational Clearing. If this is true for you, I encourage you to honor that feeling. In fact, beginning a session by exploring concerns about safety, support, or vulnerability can be an important part of the work itself.
Working with a local licensed mental health professional alongside Transgenerational Clearing can provide valuable support and help you integrate the changes and insights that arise during the process.
At times, physical, emotional, or energetic shifts may become more noticeable before or after a session. Some clients report periods of increased sensitivity, emotional processing, heightened awareness, or changes in how they experience stress and well-being as old patterns begin to surface and resolve.
When additional support is needed, it is important to utilize the appropriate resources. This may include medical care, mental health counseling, bodywork, spiritual support, additional Transgenerational Clearing sessions, or other forms of professional care that are aligned with your needs.
Reading the material on this website and listening to the Master Pack Audio Tracks can help deepen your understanding of the process, provide additional insights, and support your integration between sessions. Many clients find that regularly engaging with these resources helps them feel more prepared, grounded, and empowered.
You may also discover that support from trusted friends, family members, healthcare professionals, support groups, or spiritual communities is beneficial during certain phases of your growth and healing journey.
One of the most important aspects of this work is recognizing when you need support and allowing yourself to receive it. Seeking assistance is not a sign of weakness. It is often a sign of wisdom, self-awareness, and a commitment to your own well-being.
Transgenerational Clearing is intended to complement, not replace, appropriate medical, psychological, or other professional healthcare services. If you are experiencing significant emotional distress, mental health concerns, or physical symptoms, please seek support from qualified healthcare professionals.
Question 13: Will the clearings overwhelm me?
Answer:
The purpose of Transgenerational Clearing is to support greater ease, balance, and resilience, not to create overwhelm. In fact, many clients seek this work because they are experiencing stress, overstimulation, emotional reactivity, or a sense of being overwhelmed by life circumstances.
At times, however, strong emotions, memories, or deeper layers of an issue may arise during a session. When this happens, we work directly with what is surfacing rather than avoiding it. These moments often become opportunities to identify and clear the underlying patterns contributing to the overwhelm.
As these patterns are addressed, clients frequently report feeling more grounded, calm, and capable of navigating life's challenges. Many people also find that this work helps them feel better prepared for stressful situations, major life transitions, medical procedures, or periods of increased uncertainty.
In my experience, overwhelm is most often sustained when the mind becomes caught in cycles of fear, analysis, worry, or overthinking. One of the goals of this work is to help create a new relationship with thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations so that these cycles lose their influence.
When intense sensations arise, it can be helpful to remain present with them rather than immediately judging, labeling, or attempting to control them. Gentle breathing through the nose while bringing awareness to the body's sensations often supports a greater sense of calm, clarity, and regulation.
Sometimes physical, emotional, or energetic shifts can be interpreted as signs that something is wrong, when they may simply represent the body processing change in a new way. Approaching these experiences with curiosity, patience, and self-compassion often creates more space for integration and understanding.
Like any personal growth process, each individual's experience is unique. If additional support is needed, it is important to utilize appropriate resources, including medical care, mental health support, trusted practitioners, or additional sessions.
The intention of this work is not to push you beyond your capacity, but to support you in developing a greater sense of safety, presence, and trust in yourself so that healing and transformation can unfold at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.
Question 14: What if things seem to be getting worse instead of better?
Answer:
It is not uncommon for people to wonder whether things are getting worse after beginning a healing process. In my experience, what often appears to be "getting worse" is actually the surfacing of emotions, sensations, beliefs, or patterns that have been present beneath the surface and are now becoming available for healing and resolution.
As awareness expands, old layers may come into view so they can be acknowledged, understood, and transformed. While this can sometimes feel uncomfortable, it does not necessarily mean that the process is moving in the wrong direction. Often, it reflects movement and change rather than stagnation.
One of the greatest challenges during these periods is the tendency to move into judgment, analysis, fear, or attempts to "figure everything out." This is a natural response, and most people experience it at some point. However, healing often becomes easier when we shift our attention away from constant mental evaluation and gently return to the present moment.
This work encourages you to notice and experience sensations with curiosity rather than immediately labeling them as good, bad, right, or wrong. Through breath, awareness, and observation, many clients discover that sensations begin to shift naturally when they are allowed to be fully experienced.
When difficult layers arise, additional clearings may provide support, helping you move through the process with greater ease, clarity, and self-compassion. Every person's journey is unique. Some clients experience gradual shifts over time, while others report significant breakthroughs and periods of accelerated change. Neither experience is better than the other. Both are natural expressions of an individual healing process.
Some people may find that they have more material surfacing between sessions, while others feel lighter and more at ease immediately following the work. These differences do not reflect success or failure. They simply reflect the unique nature of each person's history, circumstances, and readiness for change.
Life continues to present opportunities for growth, learning, and self-discovery whether we engage in this work or not. What many clients appreciate about Transgenerational Clearing is that it provides tools for approaching those experiences with greater awareness, resilience, and self-understanding.
Through the practices of staying present, breathing consciously, and listening to the body's sensations, clients often develop a deeper trust in themselves and a clearer understanding of what is asking for attention and healing.
Questions are always welcome, and education can be helpful. At the same time, this work invites a balance between understanding and direct experience. While insight has value, transformation often occurs not only through intellectual understanding but also through being present with what is happening in the body, emotions, and nervous system.
Healing frequently unfolds in layers. Rather than trying to solve every layer immediately, it can be helpful to trust the process, remain curious, and allow each layer to reveal itself in its own time.
Reviewing the Free Intake Session page, listening to recommended audio resources, and revisiting the practices discussed during sessions can provide additional support during challenging periods. Many clients find that returning to these resources helps them stay grounded and reinforces the new habits and perspectives they are developing.
One additional perspective may be helpful. Individuals who have experienced disappointment, inconsistent support, neglect, or significant challenges earlier in life sometimes develop protective patterns that make it difficult to fully trust help, receive support, or believe that lasting change is possible. These patterns are not flaws. They are often adaptive responses that developed for important reasons.
As these protective patterns are brought into awareness and gently addressed, many people discover a greater capacity to receive support, trust themselves, and participate more fully in their own healing journey.
The intention of this work is not to force change, but to create the conditions for greater ease, connection, resilience, and well-being to emerge naturally over time.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Results
Question 15: What results can I expect, and how many sessions will I need?
Answer:
Clients report a wide variety of positive shifts and changes following their first session. Many experience increased clarity, greater emotional ease, a stronger sense of well-being, or meaningful shifts related to the concerns they presented. In some cases, multiple issues may improve as underlying patterns and barriers are addressed.
Transgenerational Clearing is designed to help release unresolved patterns, creating space for the body's innate wisdom and natural capacity for balance, growth, and healing to emerge. Because every individual is unique, the way this process unfolds will vary from person to person.
For most people, I recommend beginning with three to five one-hour Transgenerational Clearing sessions, scheduled approximately one to two weeks apart. This provides continuity and supports both the clearing process and the learning and integration that accompany it.
For individuals with a history of falls, accidents, surgeries, dental trauma, invasive procedures, or other significant physical or emotional events, Self-Regulation Therapy combined with Transgenerational Clearing may provide additional support. The number of sessions needed will depend on the nature and complexity of the experiences being addressed.
Many clients initially come to address a specific concern and later return as new challenges, opportunities, or layers emerge throughout life's journey. Personal growth is an ongoing process, and as awareness expands, new areas for healing, learning, and development may naturally present themselves.
Sometimes an issue may require attention on more than one occasion. This does not necessarily mean that previous work was unsuccessful. Often, different aspects of a pattern reveal themselves over time, allowing deeper levels of understanding, integration, and resolution to occur.
Clients frequently find this work beneficial before and after dental procedures, surgeries, major life transitions, and other significant events. Many report feeling more grounded, supported, and resilient during these experiences. Additional information is available on the Clearings/Surgical Elixir page.
At its heart, this work supports greater self-awareness, emotional growth, spiritual development, and alignment with your authentic self. Life continually presents opportunities to learn, cultivate virtues, and grow in wisdom. When we meet those opportunities with presence, conscious breathing, self-compassion, and a willingness to listen to the guidance of our heart, we create conditions that support greater well-being.
As limiting patterns lose their influence, many clients report feeling more connected to their purpose, more resilient in the face of challenges, and more capable of creating a joyful and meaningful life. Rather than being defined by old habits, fears, or inherited conditioning, they begin living from a place of greater freedom, clarity, and possibility.
The goal is not perfection, but an ongoing process of healing, growth, and becoming more fully who you were always meant to be.
Acute Symptoms
Question 16: Can Transgenerational Clearing help when I am experiencing acute symptoms?
Answer:
Many clients schedule sessions when they are experiencing acute challenges such as colds, flu-like symptoms, migraines, sleep disturbances, periods of increased stress, or other physical and emotional concerns. If no appointments are available on the calendar, you may request an after-hours session or use the Master Pack Audio Tracks for additional support until a session becomes available.
Many clients find it beneficial to do this work before resting or going to sleep. Quiet periods of rest often support integration by allowing the body and nervous system to process the session without the distraction of excessive thinking, analyzing, or rumination. When we allow ourselves to simply be present with the process, many people report a greater sense of ease and flow in their experience.
For acute symptoms, as well as ongoing physical, emotional, or mental health concerns, Transgenerational Clearing is intended to serve as a complementary support rather than a replacement for professional care.
This work is designed to support your body's natural capacity for healing, balance, and self-regulation while working alongside the treatments, recommendations, and services provided by your physicians, therapists, counselors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals.
Many clients choose to combine Transgenerational Clearing with medical treatment, counseling, bodywork, and other therapeutic approaches. By addressing unresolved patterns, reducing stress, and strengthening awareness, the work may help individuals feel more supported as they move through their healing process.
As always, any significant or persistent symptoms should be evaluated and treated by appropriate healthcare providers. Transgenerational Clearing is intended to complement, not replace, medical, psychological, dental, or other professional care.
Important Tools & Information
Session Preparation Guidelines
- Booking Your Sessions
Once you are a Confirmed Client, you may book a one-hour Transgenerational Clearing session. To address your presenting concerns and establish momentum in the work, I generally recommend beginning with three to five one-hour sessions, scheduled one to two weeks apart. This timing provides optimal support for learning, integration, and retention while helping you establish new patterns of awareness and well-being. - Learning to Work with Sensations
Transgenerational Clearing relies on your ability to notice and describe sensations within your body. The Sensation Form provides examples and serves as a useful tool both during sessions and in your daily life. Developing this skill can deepen your experience and support lasting change. - Using the Pre-Session Form
The Pre-Session Form is designed to help you track information between sessions, including questions, symptoms, observations, insights, medical updates, and concerns you would like addressed. It can help you organize your thoughts, prepare for your session, and communicate clearly.
Please use this form rather than email or phone calls for non-scheduling matters. Keep your completed form available during your session for reference. - Medical and Treatment Updates
Prior to your session, please provide any current treatment recommendations, care plans, or relevant updates from your healthcare providers. Whenever possible, submit updated information at least 24 hours before your appointment. - Additional Support Options
Self-Regulation Therapy and Constellations may be incorporated alongside Transgenerational Clearing when appropriate. Reviewing these offerings beforehand can help you understand how they may support your goals. - Preparing Your Space
For the best experience, plan to participate while sitting or standing in a quiet, private, and comfortable location. Consider having the following available:- Blanket or pillow
- Tissues
- Warm water
- Paper and pen
- Headset or headphones

At your scheduled Pacific Time appointment, please call the session phone number provided in your booking information. For questions, comments, concerns, or updates between sessions, please use the Pre-Session Form.
- Supporting Your Body Before the Session
Sessions are often more effective when you are well-rested and hydrated. Consider:- Drinking water consistently throughout the day
- Getting approximately 7 to 8.5 hours of sleep nightly
- Avoiding alcohol for at least three days before your session
- Limiting substances that may increase stress or interfere with clarity, such as excessive sugar or caffeine. Once you are a Confirmed Client you may now book a 1-hour Transgenerational Clearing session. To deal with presenting issues, three to five, 1-hour sessions, 1-2 weeks apart, are recommended. These sessions involve educational support to help you create a new energetic field so sessions one to two weeks apart are optimal for retention and support.
- Your sessions require you to be able to identify sensations. The Sensation Form below will give you an example and a tool you can use both in and outside sessions.
- The Pre-session Form below is for anything you wish noted between sessions, questions, and information you need to communicate between or prior gto your session.

- Self Regulation Therapy and Constellations are offered with Transgenerational Clearing when needed (please read these web pages).
- It is best to do all sessions sitting or standing. Be in a comfortable, quiet, private place and have a blanket, pillow, tissues, warm water, paper, pen and a headset ready. Do not let mucus buildup in your nose or throat during your session. Blow your nose and remove mucus from your throat so you keep these toxins out of your body.

For three days prior to your session please eliminate any alcohol consumption or anything else that may block or aggravate your body or mind (limiting sugar and caffeine is also helpful).
Post-Session Guidelines for Continued Growth and Integration
- Focus on What Is Improving
What you focus on tends to grow. Give your attention to the shifts, successes, and positive changes you are experiencing, no matter how small they may seem. Staying connected to your progress helps build momentum and reinforces the new patterns you are creating.
- Marinate in Positive Shifts First
After a clearing, spend time appreciating and fully experiencing any improvements, insights, or positive sensations before turning your attention to the next issue or layer you wish to explore. This helps your nervous system integrate the changes more deeply.
- Describe What Is Present Rather Than What Is "Still" There
Instead of saying you "still" have a symptom or issue, simply describe what you are currently experiencing. Often, what appears to be the same issue is actually a different aspect or deeper layer seeking attention and resolution.
- Return to the Breath When Sensations Arise
Sensations often shift more easily when they are met with awareness and breath rather than analysis. When uncomfortable feelings arise, gently focus on breathing in and out through your nose. If comfortable, allow your exhale to be as long as or longer than your inhale. If not, simply breathe naturally and remain present.
- Protect the Progress You Have Made
After a session, avoid immediately analyzing, questioning, or doubting your experience. Even if your body is continuing to adjust through changing sensations, trembling, or emotional processing, remain connected to any increased ease, openness, calm, or clarity you have gained.
Continue focusing on your breath and bodily sensations rather than becoming absorbed in mental stories or judgments. Many clients find that the benefits of the session continue to unfold when they maintain an attitude of openness, gratitude, and curiosity. Resting, taking a walk, or allowing yourself quiet time can be especially supportive.
- Be Selective About What You Give Your Attention To
Consider limiting exposure to information that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, fearful, or disconnected from yourself. While it is important to stay informed, it can also be beneficial to balance outside influences with activities that support your well-being, presence, and inner stability.
- Track Sensations Rather Than Labels
Use the Sensation Form to record your experiences. Practicing the language of sensations instead of labels can help develop greater awareness and connection with your body's wisdom. Make note of any observations, shifts, or questions you would like to discuss during your next session.
- Connect With Your Inner Guidance Daily
Spend time each day in prayer, meditation, reflection, or another contemplative practice that helps you connect with your deeper wisdom and inner guidance. Many people find that a brief practice in the morning and evening is especially beneficial.
- Stay Present and Future-Oriented
Whenever possible, speak from where you are now rather than defining yourself by past experiences. Language such as "Right now..." or "Up until now..." supports an ongoing sense of growth and possibility.
- Remain Curious and Open
Approach the process with curiosity rather than expectations. Healing, growth, and transformation rarely unfold in exactly the way we imagine. When we remain open to possibility, we create space not only for what we hope for, but also for outcomes that may exceed our expectations.
Remember: Progress is not measured only by dramatic breakthroughs. Often the most lasting transformation begins with small shifts in awareness, perception, breathing, and self-connection that gradually build into meaningful and lasting change.Stay focused on what you have shifted and accomplished. The area you focus on will grow. It's important that you stay in the momentum of what you're gaining. Where you put your focus is where you end up going and what you end up attracting.
- After clearings, first marinate in the “good” changes, shifts and sensations and then address the next layer or what you want to mention next.
- Try not to use the word “still “since it will keep you stuck. Instead, verbalize "uncomfortable" sensations or define an issue you want addressed next. If it is the "same issue" it is usually another component or deeper layer that needs to be acknowledge and addressed.
- Often sensations related to labels like fear, anxiety or resistance will dissipate naturally if the breath is where you focus rather than getting intellectual. Breathe in and out of the nose making sure the exhale is as long or longer than the inhale or just breathe if this is not comfortable for you.
- At the end of your session and after the session stay out of your thoughts, don’t let your mind rob you of your achievements from the clearings even if the body is still going through an alchemy where there may be shaking or sensations coming and going as the nervous system finds a new normal. Stay in the improvements you made by continuing to marinate in even the smallest amount of ease, openness, etc. Keep focusing on the breath and the sensations if the mind jumps in trying to question, label or doubt. The clearings can continue to work after the session if the focus remains on the new energetic field, possibility, gratitude, and breath. Taking a nap or a walk is also helpful.
- As much as possible stay away from local and international news. This can be difficult but unless you can make a change there is no sense engaging in it. Trust what you need to know will find you. The changes you make within you will effect everything and everyone around you.
- Track your sensations to help ground you. Write them down using the Sensation Form so you start speaking in sensations rather than labels (fear, pain, mad, sad, resistance, etc). Note anything you want to mention on the Pre-Session Form.
- Twice a day (preferably morning and evening) connect to your higher inner self with prayers or meditation.
- Stay in the present moment ("now...", "up until now...") rather than referencing the past ( "I use to..." "I always...") so shifts continue to evolve.
- Be open and curious, staying clear of expectations. This way you also stay open to the possibility of something even better than you can imagine (-:
Preparing for Your Session
When you take time to reflect on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of your life before a session, the work can be even more meaningful and empowering. This preparation helps bring greater clarity to your intentions and creates a stronger foundation for growth and transformation.
Consider identifying and writing down your goals, hopes, and areas of focus before your session. As your journey unfolds, revisit and update these intentions. Doing so helps you recognize your progress, clarify what is most important to you, and stay aligned with the life you wish to create.
Your wishes, dreams, and aspirations matter. This includes goals related to your health, relationships, family, work, spiritual development, and the communities you are part of. The more clearly you can communicate what is important to you, the more effectively we can support those intentions within the session.
Anything you feel is important to discuss is welcome. Questions, concerns, challenges, successes, insights, symptoms, life changes, and personal goals are all valuable pieces of information. There is no need to decide whether something is "important enough" to mention. If it feels significant to you, it has value and deserves a place in the conversation.
Coming to your session with openness, honesty, and a willingness to share your experience helps create the deepest opportunities for insight, healing, and growth.

After Session Care
Update Yourself With Healthy Developmental Stages
When you have not received the parenting your need or you have been the parent to your parent(s) the developmental stages are compromised. You can redo these stages! Use the book "Begin Again" by Dr. Dickson to guide you. Secondly, the Human Garage offers free fascia release exercises to help your body to repair. You can also use NeuroVIZR light therapy to support the updates (do ART with your doctor to make sure it is a good fit if you wish). Lastly, when you get the help you need, marinate in any sensations connected with getting this help including getting the help you need from yourself or a higher power.
Gratitude Practice
Set an intention for a bountiful day by thinking about what you are grateful for and then marinating in the sensations. Ending the day this way also helps to keep this vibration of gratitude attracting what you are grateful for.
In whatever way you see your value notice it and marinate in the gratitude. Just the fact that you are doing this work, you are a good listener, you made a good choice, whatever it is, grow it with the gratitude marination.
Make Time For Person Work
Take time in the day to address difficulties you are struggling with. Use the pre-session form to make notes of what you need help with and listen to the Master Pack audio track #1 or #2 to help yourself process. Coupling this with a walk adds bilateral stimulation for added processing. Notice what comes to you. It can be helpful to listen to the Master Pack audio #1 in the am and #2 in the pm or prior to bed. Honor where you are at while you meditate, listen or go through your routine.

Higher Power
Begin the day with a purposeful connection to the Higher Power of your faith or understanding. This further impresses the focus for the day with humility. In the morning and evening meditate or say one of the prayers from the many subjects listed on the Spiritual Upliftment section of the Resources page (then follow the directions in this section to get the most insights and benefits).
Exercise
Walk in nature with a meditative mind and conscious breathing. If possible, break a sweat every day. This supports the body's process of decompressing and renewal. It can also promote a better night sleep.
Meditation and Presence
Meditations can be marinating in sensation you wish to grow, walking, grounding or whatever meditation serves you. Practice whenever you need a break in the day. Practice staying present and grounded in your day especially if it is busy. This purposefulness helps grow your calm and focus.
Joy-Full Living
Find what makes you laugh, brings you joy and generates joy. Be purposeful in creating it or indulging in it every day. Take 20 minutes a day and laugh at funny clips or do a joyful activity.
Practice the Virtues
Notice and acknowledge the virtues in others. Instead of blaming a difficult situation or circumstance on others, empower yourself by seeing the part you play, the options you have and the virtue you need to grow to enable more ease (see the free resources below for virtue cultivation).
Professional help
Invest in professionals when you have a sense you need to rather than waiting until you are suffering or suffered. This communicates to your subconscious mind that you are important! When you make yourself important you attract what is important to you effortlessly. Marinate in the gratitude of this support. Notice the dividends this ends up paying out throughout your life as you grow in importance in every area of your life.
Diet
Do Autonomic Response Testing with you doctor to find the diet that works best for you and stay tuned into the emotional and physical shifts. Notice when you need to change your diet due to the seasons or other factors.
Forgiveness or For-Going
Establish a regular forgiveness practice so you are not held in the grip and trauma of the past. When you let go of unhealthy attachments more energy is available for health and compassion. This goes hand in hand with being compassionate instead of empathic. There is no need to carry others with you since they will have to do their own journey regardless. Carrying them will never help you or them in any way. Remember you can always do a return to sender exercise. If this is difficult, listen to whatever audio track speaks to you, make sure you clear or set aside all thoughts and issue prior to going to bed and have a soothing shower if this enhances a deep sleep.
Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us. The land knows you, even when you are lost.

Creating and Sustaining Your New Pattern of Being
In this work, we are uncovering and expressing the best version of you by clearing patterns, beliefs, and energetic influences that no longer serve your highest good. As these old patterns release, space is created for greater awareness, freedom, and possibility.
This new space invites you to apply the insights, practices, and inspiration gained during your sessions to cultivate new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. As your body, mind, and spirit establish a new normal, your daily choices become an important part of the process.
The key is to remain present in the here and now. When you stay connected to the current moment, you become more available to the opportunities, blessings, and guidance that are already present. At the same time, you create distance from habitual patterns rooted in the past. Mindfully noticing and interrupting old reactions, thought patterns, and behaviors strengthens the benefits of the clearing work and supports lasting transformation.
One powerful way to nourish this process is through the conscious practice of virtues. Qualities such as compassion, courage, patience, kindness, honesty, generosity, gratitude, and humility help strengthen your relationships, guide your decisions, and support your personal growth.
When you bring virtues into your conversations, daily actions, and relationships, you cultivate a more uplifting and supportive inner environment. As you embody these qualities, you naturally influence those around you in positive ways and contribute to a greater sense of harmony in your life and community.
Morning and evening reflection, prayer, or meditation on the virtues can help deepen your connection to your purpose, strengthen your intentions, and support the qualities you wish to develop.

Bonus Gift
As an additional resource, consider downloading the Virtues Cards app. Many people find it to be an inspiring way to reflect on virtues, strengthen positive habits, and bring greater intention to their daily lives.
Remember: transformation is not simply about releasing what no longer serves you. It is also about consciously nurturing the qualities, values, and virtues that help you become the person you are meant to be. Every moment offers a new opportunity to practice, grow, and move closer to that vision.
In this work we are unveiling the best version of you by clearing the old energy that does not serve you. With this open space you take the homework and inspiration from your sessions to create a new energetic field while your body and mind establish a new normal. The secret is to stay in the moment, here and now, so you can take in the bounties of this moment while detaching from old habits from the past. Mindfulness in interrupting old habits, or mind hijacking the moment, will strengthen the effects of the clearings. Using the virtues in your conversations, life practice, and relationships is the ultimate nourishment to enable your energy field to support you at a higher vibration. When you speak in the language of virtue you strengthen your cells and give the gift of this vibration to others. Meditation on them in the morning and evening helps to raise your vibration for the day and enlighten the purpose for which you where created.

Words are thoughts that collapse waves of possibility into particles of reality. When a life pattern continues (always) it's a valuable sign of an area to gain awareness. If these words are replaced with current moment acknowledgment (right now or up until now) new possibilities become available.
