What is Biofield Therapy?

Biofield therapy, more commonly known as “energy medicine” is a key part of ancient healing practices around the world. In hands-on sessions, the practitioner functions as a conduit for bringing healing energy through their hands to the client’s body. In remote sessions, the practitioner is connecting to the client’s biofield, and is able to gather information about their system, as well as send supportive and healing energies directly to them. Camille can access this layer of connection with clients regardless of time and location. One commonly known biofield modality is Reiki, a Japanese practice that works with the life force energy called Ki. Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to this energy as Qi (Chi), and in Yogic philosophy it is known as Prana. Modern scientific research is being done now to understand how biofield therapies function and the affects they have in healing illness. 

“Biofield is a term used by some scientists to describe a field of energy and information that regulates the homeodynamic function of living organisms and may play an important role in understanding basic biopsychosocial functions, especially those directing health, healing, and wellbeing (see Rubik et al, this issue, for a discussion on the history and current use of the term biofield). However, this concept of biofield is not new, as the foundations and practice of several ancient philosophical and medical systems are reflective of many contemporary biofield concepts and may serve as a means for more deeply understanding and developing these concepts.” –

What kind of training do you have?

Camille was introduced to energy medicine through Therapeutic Touch technique in 2010. She was first trained in Reiki practice in 2012 and trained under two other teachers, culminating in a Reiki Master certification in 2016. She has been practicing Reiki and developing her own methods of distance biofield therapy since, working with clients and family. Camille has also trained in and has experience in Yoga Therapy and Grief Ritual facilitation. She has been a Registered Nurse for 15 years, primarily having worked in end of life care, and has trained as a death doula and conscious dying coach. 

Camille uses her well-rounded experience in holistic and allopathic care to provide not just a grounded approach to biofield therapy, but guidance in other supportive practices that may help address what is going on in your system.

How can biofield therapy support me?

From a holistic perspective, the human system includes not just the physical body, but the energy body, or biofield, as well. When we use biofield therapy to engage with this layer of our being by offering support, we increase the healing abilities of our own bodies. Our physical symptoms, emotional distress, or overall system stress may decrease as we are able to come closer to a state of balance and regulation. This can take time for more complex and long-standing conditions, but the effects often provide a sense of support and tending that is often missed in places where the physical body is prioritized, like healthcare. Biofield therapy is not a means of diagnosing or curing illness. It is complementary to many other modalities.

Is biofield therapy contraindicated or unsafe for any condition?

No. Biofield therapy is safe for everyone, including children and those with fragile physical conditions. Camille holds her practice with a deep sense of integrity, taking care to provide respectful, gentle and thoughtful energy work. Because it can be done remotely, biofield therapy is very accessible to those with mobility and sensory challenges. It is not invasive and will not be at odds with any other therapies or treatments you are currently using. 

How many sessions do I need to have?

The initial scan session and follow-up provide us with important guidance on where your system needs the most attention. After that at least 2 more biofield therapy sessions are recommended. The biggest benefit will be found in doing biofield therapy for 3-6 months at a time. Camille does frequent check-in sessions to determine what is most effective in supporting you. You can decide at anytime whether to continue with sessions or stop and return later as needed.
