What Happens During and After a Healing Session?
If you’ve been considering stepping into a healing journey but find yourself wondering, “What will I feel during and after a session? Will it be intense?”
And honestly? It makes sense!
As a somatic and energetics coach for deep thinkers and sensitive souls, I hear this question often from people who are curious but hesitant to begin.
Healing is deeply personal. ❤️
It requires a level of vulnerability that can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to keeping things “together” or in control.
Fear of the unknown, of being overwhelmed, or even just the idea of letting someone else into your inner world can bring up resistance.
If this resonates with you, take a deep breath—you’re in the right place.
I want to ease some of those fears and give you a clearer sense of what this process is all about.
In this post, I’ll walk you through EXACTLY what you can expect during and after a Healing Session.
Here’s what I’m covering… (you can click on any link to jump to that section.)

During The Session: What To Expect
Every session is designed to meet you where you are.
It’s not about diving headfirst into heavy emotions or pushing yourself to the limit. It is about creating a safe, gentle space where you can explore at your own pace.
Here’s what most people experience:
🌅 A Deep Sense of Safety
From the moment we begin, my priority is to help you feel comfortable and seen.
We’ll start slowly, focusing on what feels manageable for you.
I use grounding techniques and somatic practices to help ease any initial tension, creating an environment that feels supportive and nurturing.
If strong emotions come up, we’ll move through them together, gently and without judgment.
You’ll never be pushed to go further than you feel ready for.
🌅 Physical Relaxation
Many clients notice their body softening during the session.
You might feel your shoulders drop, your jaw unclench, or your breath deepen as tension begins to release.
This physical relaxation is often accompanied by a sensation of "settling" within yourself, as if your body is finally able to let go of the constant state of alertness or stress it’s been holding onto.
Some people describe it as a sense of “coming home” to their body.
🌅 Clarity and Connection
As we explore your inner experiences, you might begin to uncover patterns, memories, or emotions that previously felt tangled or unclear.
These moments of clarity often feel like small lightbulbs going off, helping you make sense of things that once felt overwhelming.
This isn’t about overanalyzing—it’s about noticing and connecting with yourself in a way that feels intuitive and empowering.
🌅 Moments of Release
While not every session involves a major emotional release, many people describe a sense of lightness—like letting go of something heavy they didn’t realize they were carrying.
This release can take different forms: a few tears, a deep exhale, or even a quiet moment of realization. It’s less about dramatic breakthroughs and more about gently creating space for relief and freedom.
🌅 Personalized Support
Throughout the session, I’m there to guide and support you.
Whether that means offering a grounding exercise, adjusting the pace, or simply holding space for you to process, you’re never alone in the experience.
My role is to ensure that the session feels collaborative and that you’re always in control of how deeply we explore.

After The Session: How You Might Feel
Healing doesn’t end when the session does. It’s a process that continues to unfold as your system integrates the work we’ve done together. Here’s what you can expect:
🌱 Calm and Grounded
Most clients leave feeling deeply grounded and present in their bodies. There’s often a noticeable sense of calm—like a storm has settled, even if just a little.
🌱 Space for Reflection
In the hours or days following a session, you might notice new thoughts or emotions surfacing. This is a natural part of the healing process. Your body and mind are processing and recalibrating.
🌱 Sustainable Shifts
My sessions include aftercare notes and suggested practices to help you integrate the experience into your daily life. These tools help ensure that the benefits of the session aren’t just temporary but become part of a lasting transformation.
Healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming or intense to be effective, I promise. ❤️
It’s a collaborative process where you’re always in control of what we explore and how deeply we go.
If something feels too much, we pause.
If you feel hesitant to open up, we start where it feels safe.
Think of it like easing into water rather than diving into the deep end.

Common Follow Up Question: How Can I Trust This Will Help Me?
This is a question ☝️☝️☝️ I hear a lot, and it’s totally valid.
If you’ve tried other healing methods before that didn’t work as expected, it’s natural to feel skeptical. Healing can feel like a leap of faith, so let me share what makes this process unique and effective.
✨ It’s Tailored to You
Every session is customized to your unique needs, emotions, and goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—we’re working with what’s most relevant and meaningful to you in the moment.
✨ It’s About Lasting Change
This work isn’t about quick fixes or temporary relief. It’s about helping you connect with yourself in a way that feels sustainable. Many clients describe feeling a clarity and calm that continues to grow over time.
✨ Support Beyond the Session
The tools and insights you gain in a session don’t stay behind when you leave. With aftercare notes and follow-up suggestions, you’ll have guidance to help you integrate the work into your daily life. That’s where the magic really happens.
Most people do feel shifts after their first session, whether it’s a sense of lightness, clarity, or calm.
But healing is a journey, and some layers take time to unfold.
What I can promise is that I’ll meet you with care, patience, and respect for wherever you are on that journey. ❤️
