FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
What happens in a session and how does this healing modality work?
First I make a remote energetic connection with you, then using kinesiology (muscle testing) I work with your subconscious to identify and release negative energy that’s gotten stuck in your body. Over time this energy can cause physical illness or pain, as well as other issues like anxiety, PTSD, depression or panic attacks.
Since I only work remotely, you’re not present either physically or on the phone when I do your session. You may want to be in a quiet, relaxing space at the appointed time, but all you really need to do is be open to healing.
For each session, I’ll release as many trapped emotions as your subconscious will allow, which varies by individual, but usually runs around 15-25 per session.
What is a Trapped Emotion?
Just about everyone has some amount of emotional baggage from painful life events. Emotional baggage is very real, and although it's invisible it can really mess up your happiness, your success and your health. It's like lugging around a suitcase from every difficult event you've gone through—eventually the load gets too heavy not to notice. Think of each "suitcase" as a Trapped Emotion—a bit of emotional energy that was created, by you, during an emotional event, and then it got stuck in your body somewhere.
Trapped Emotions are literally like balls of energy, vibrating at different frequencies depending on what the emotion is (for example, Anger is a different vibration than Sadness or Insecurity).
Trapped Emotions are negative, destructive vibrations, and tend to affect the body wherever they are stuck, creating pain and malfunction of bodily tissues, and even disease. They can also cause depression, anxiety and loads of emotional problems. Trapped Emotions can make life miserable, but you can get rid of them and lighten your load for good!

Are there different kinds of trapped emotions?
Yes, there are several types of trapped emotions. A regular Trapped Emotion was created, by you, during an emotional event. There are also:
Inherited Emotions.
In a nutshell, an inherited emotion is a bit of emotional energy that is received from a parent at the moment of conception. It’s passed along with other DNA and physical material—in the egg if it's from your mother, or in the sperm if it's from your father. Inherited emotions cannot become trapped at any point after you are conceived, just as you cannot inherit any genetic trait after you've already been conceived. Inherited Trapped Emotions can go back multiple generations.
Absorbed Emotions
Absorbed Emotions are created when another person generates an intense emotion and you absorb that energy into your body.
Pre-Birth
These were absorbed while still in the womb, usually in the 3rd trimester, when the mother had an intense emotional experience.
Psychic Trauma
A Psychic Trauma is when two or three negative emotions are felt simultaneously and then get trapped together. For example, let’s say as a child you watched a really scary movie and experienced intense feelings of Fear and Horror at the same time—and these two emotions end up getting trapped together in a Psychic Trauma.
Hidden / Deeply Hidden / Very Deeply Hidden
Sometimes the subconscious will only reveal a trapped emotion when specifically asked if it’s hidden, which is likely because these are things we were unconscious about at the time we experienced them, or that we’ve been reluctant to take responsibility for feeling.
What is a Heart Wall?
During times of emotional pain or distress, your heart can be really hurt or injured—which is where the words "heartache" and "heartbreak" originate.
Sometimes we need to put up a form of protection, or a "wall" around the heart—but you can't build a wall from nothing, right? So what ends up being used as the "building material" for the wall? Excess energy in the body—or Trapped Emotions!
The problem is that the Heart Wall doesn't dissolve on its own, even if you don't need it anymore. Having a Heart Wall is like living in a bomb shelter—it's necessary to protect you while the "bombs" are falling, but if you stay in there forever, you'll feel sad, disconnected, frustrated and you could even end up with heart disease or other heart problems.
The good news is that the Heart Wall can be removed—freeing you to live from your heart (or true self), create abundance and find true love.
Hidden Heart Walls
As with trapped emotions, sometimes the subconscious will ‘hide’ part of the heart wall, which can only be discovered after the known heart wall has been completely removed, then specifically asking if there is a ‘hidden’ heart wall.
It’s not entirely known or understood why the subconscious sometimes hides part of a heart wall. However it’s quite possible the hidden things are what we’ve been reluctant to look at or deal with—or perhaps these are things we never even admitted to ourselves that we felt at the time. Whatever the reason, once discovered, anything ‘hidden’ gets released just like regular trapped emotions.

How are trapped emotions released?
The process of releasing trapped emotions consists mainly of two elements:
Muscle Testing
Muscle testing is the tool used to communicate with the subconscious and identify imbalances in the body. The science behind it is similar to a lie detector test or a polygraph. In a polygraph, a person is hooked up to sensitive electrodes and asked “yes” or “no” questions. The answers generate a certain electrical response in the body, which is read and graphed by the machine, showing if the answers are true or false. This is done on a very delicate, minute scale.
Likewise the muscles of the body are also affected by this electrical state—so we can use them to show this same response, just on a more pronounced, larger scale. Any muscle will become weakened in a state of incongruence or falsehood. Conversely, muscles will remain strong when in a state of congruency or truth. So during a session I muscle test on myself (acting as your proxy) as I ask your subconscious “yes” or “no” questions in order to identify the trapped negative energy and release it.
Magnets
Just like a magnifying glass will intensify sunlight enough to start a fire, magnets can act as an amplifier for the energy of thought and intention—enough to produce a change in the body. The intentions and thoughts we have are energy. Magnets are energy. Your body is energy. Therefore these things all have an effect on each other.
When a trapped emotion is identified, it’s released by rolling a magnet down the Governing Meridian (energy channel running through center of body and connecting all the acupuncture meridians), which amplifies and infuses our intention for healing and release of negative energy.
Will the trapped emotions that are released come back?
Once a trapped emotion is released it doesn’t come back—however we may find multiple instances of a particular trapped emotion (e.g. hopelessness), each one from a different event.
As old trapped emotions are released, it’s a good idea to become more conscious about our emotions in the present, remembering that in any given moment we have a choice about how we want to feel. When we choose a positive emotion, rather than falling back on the old familiar negative emotion, we can avoid creating new trapped emotions.

Do I need to recall or reveal painful past experiences in order to release trapped emotions?
No. One of the great things about this work is that there’s no need to dig around in the past or remember painful experiences in order to release the negative emotional energies.
Is there anything I need to do with the list of trapped emotions that got released in my session?
No, the list is strictly provided for your information—it’s not necessary to link the list to specific memories or work on anything. However if you feel that you really want to do something, I’d suggest simply acknowledging the emotions, then bless them and ‘see’ yourself releasing them with gratitude and forgiveness.
How is it that the information from my session is so accurate—are you psychic?
No, I’m not psychic. Remember, all the information from a session comes from YOUR subconscious—which is like your personal supercomputer. It knows everything you’ve ever done, everyone you’ve ever met, every detail of your life—and it also knows exactly what you need to be balanced, happy and healthy.
What does it mean to “process” after a session?
Doing The Emotion Code is like doing surgery on the energy body. We are literally looking for "malignant" or harmful energies and removing them, after which the energy body needs time to heal, reorganize and regain its balance. If you had surgery for removal of a tumor, you would expect to have at least a few days of downtime afterward. Your surgeon would also likely tell you what to expect during this healing time, and also advise you to get extra rest in order to allow the body to heal. The advice after a session with The Emotion Code is just about the same.
To assist your body with processing, drink lots of water, eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Baths with Epsom or pink salts will also assist with processing.
It’s entirely possible you’ll feel great and have no negative effects from processing. However just be aware that about 20% of people have some processing symptoms like feeling more tired than usual, experiencing a change in sleep patterns, feeling “out of sorts”, or having vivid dreams. Some people even experience ‘ghosts’ of some of the emotions released in their session.
A small percentage of individuals may also experience symptoms of detox.
All these things are a normal part of processing, however should you have questions or concerns please email me—and of course seek professional medical advice when appropriate.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies for each individual, and also depends on what your goals are. Clearing a Heart Wall typically takes three to seven sessions. Working on specific emotional or physical issues could take as few as a two sessions or as many as ten or more, depending on things like complexity of the issue and at what pace your body is ready to release.
How long is a session?
It varies by individual and also depends on numerous factors such as how many trapped emotions your subconscious is ready to release—but sessions generally run about 60 minutes.
What kinds of things has The Emotion Code helped?
While this work is definitely not used to diagnose or cure any physical or mental illnesses, you can click here to see a partial list of issues for which people have reported improvement and even complete resolution.
What results can I expect?
Some people have dramatic results or recoveries after just one or two sessions. However for most people the process takes a bit longer, and the results are often quite subtle. For example, after several sessions, one day you might suddenly notice “Wow, I feel happy most of the time now”. Or, “Huh, things that used to upset me don’t really bother me now”.
Remember that healing happens when conditions are right, and by releasing trapped emotions you’re creating conditions conducive to healing.
Don’t get discouraged if it seems like your healing journey is a long one—remember, everything feels longer when we’re in pain, whether it’s physical or emotional. So just continue to be willing to heal, believe that you are healing, and expect (intend) great results. Having faith in yourself raises your vibration, which can only help to make this work even more powerful and effective.
What is an “email” or “remote” session?
Email sessions work a bit like cell phones in that our bodies have the built-in capability to quickly and easily "dial" someone else, and create an energetic connection with them.
An Email session is done remotely, so you’re not present—either physically or on the phone. At your scheduled appointment time it’s a good idea for you to be somewhere quiet—you could even be asleep if you want! I’ll connect with you energetically and release as many trapped emotions as possible.
Does The Emotion Code work on Animals and Children?
Yes it does—just as effectively as on adults! In fact, animals and children are usually easy to work on because they’re less guarded and resistant, and they typically have less baggage!
How Do I Schedule a Session?
