What Happens When You Sit With Me: Inside a Somatic and Cosmic Light Healing Session

Most people arrive carrying something.

I can feel it the way you feel a storm coming a mile off, a weight they walked in with, the heaviness of a life that has been happening to them, and through them, for a long time. A loss they did not choose. A marriage that quietly stopped being safe. I think of it like coming home from the store with your arms full of groceries. It is not that anything is wrong with you. You have simply been carrying a great deal, alone. Part of what I do is help you carry it in, and then help you set it down.

That is really what a session is. So let me walk you through what actually happens when you sit with me, whether you are here in the room or a thousand miles away on a screen.

What a session with me actually is

A session with me is somatic and energy healing held together as one. We tend to what you are carrying where it is truly held, in the nervous system, in the fascia of the body, and in the energetic biofield around you. We don’t keep talking about it in an unending loop. We help it soften, and move, and finally lift.

The mind matters. The body matters. The soul and the biofield matter. I never rank one above another. They are all ways your whole self has been trying to speak.

We begin with your words

Everything starts with what is alive for you that day. What is happening on your path, in your family, in your work, in your body. You give voice to it, and all of that is welcome. Naming it is not small talk. What you are speaking is exactly what the imprint of your field has been holding.

And while you talk, I am doing two things. I am listening to you, fully, and I am also tracking. Your words, and your body, are already showing me where the weight is held.

How your body softens and opens

Before we go anywhere near the tender places, we build safety. This matters more than anything, and it is the whole reason the work can go deep. I want your body to feel, in its own time, that it is safe here.

As that safety settles, something shifts. Your body begins to soften and open, and your own inner healer stirs and comes to sit with us in the work. From there we might move into a guided meditation, sound, hands-on healing, whatever your body is asking for. There is no fixed script.

What I can see in your energetic field

Here is the part that is mine to bring, the gift I have carried since I was a child, when I would see colors and presences around the people I loved and had no idea it was a gift at all.

When we move into the quantum field, a kind of holographic picture opens above you. I have come to think of it like the motherboard of a computer, the whole grid of you lit up in front of me. I can see where your light is flowing freely, and where it has gathered in these freeze points, the places or blocks. Sometimes I see it as an actual image: a chain across the shoulders, a long rod of old baggage, a dagger in the heart.

I remember a woman whose feet, as I worked them, showed me something in the heart area. When I asked her a question, she gave me the polite, general answer we all give about relationships. But when we moved into the cosmic light healing, I saw it plainly, an imprint of a dagger, right there in the field over her heart. So I said the brave, strange, true thing out loud. “I feel as if there is a dagger in your heart.” She broke open, crying and crying, because it was real to her. It had been left by someone she loved who walked away in jealousy and spite, until she felt she had driven it into her own chest. She had lost the ability to understand why she kept meeting the world from betrayal and abandonment. Naming what I saw, and doing the quantum cosmic light healing around it, is what finally let it move.

That is what working in the energetic field offers that tending the body alone cannot. I get to see, and often what I see is the very thing that has been waiting to be spoken.

I never tell you more than you want to hear. If you are curious about what I saw, I will share it. If all you want is to feel like a new person afterward, that is more than enough.

In the room, or across the miles

In person, my hands rest right on the place where the story is held in the fascia, where the pain has been quietly alerting your body that something is ready to be seen. Sometimes there is gentle pressure. Sometimes the work happens entirely above your body, in the field. It is always your choice. As a trauma-informed practitioner, your safety is my first priority, and if you would rather not be touched at all, that is one hundred percent okay.

If you are far away, the work reaches you just the same. This is the part people wonder about most, so let me say it plainly. Energy moves through intention. It is the same force at work when people pray, or meditate, or send love to someone across the country. If that basic truth lands for you at all, then you already understand how I can be, quite literally, with you through a computer screen. There is even a gift in it. When you are home, in a space your own body already trusts for rest, you can drop into the deep place faster than you might in a room you have never been to before.

You do not have to believe any of this

You do not have to believe a word of what I see for this to reach you. I will meet you exactly where you are, and I am never going to force you to believe in angels if that is not your spiritual template. Forcing you to believe as I believe is the very opposite of who I am and what this work is.

What I ask is smaller and gentler than belief. Only that you are willing to soften, and let the experience meet you.

A season, not forever

All of life is a ceremony. We each come to thresholds we were never meant to cross alone, a birth, a death, the ending of a marriage, the leaving of a faith. I come the way a birth doula comes, wholly devoted to you through the passage, and then, once you are through, stepping gently back.

This is not a weekly appointment that never ends. We usually work together for a season, four to eight sessions, long enough for your body to remember safety and for you to step back into your own sovereignty, into the life you are actually here to live. This work is meant to return you to yourself, not to keep you coming back.

What you carry out

The joy that is mine in all of this is watching the difference. Who you are when you cross the threshold, arms full, weighed down by the groceries of a hard life. And who you are when you leave.

I get to look into your eyes and say, “You look so bright and shiny right now.” And I hear the same words again and again after a session. “I feel so much lighter. I feel so much more me. Like I had a reboot. A fresh breath of air. I feel hopeful again. Thank you, Vanessa.”

That is the work. Not to fix you, because you were never broken. Only to help you set down what you have carried so long, so that the wild, original you can rise back up and stand in her own light.

A gentle note: I am a somatic and energy practitioner, not a licensed therapist. This work walks alongside healing and growth. It is not a replacement for therapy or medical care, and many of the people I sit with do both. That is a good and beautiful thing.

If something in you leaned toward this while you read, that is worth listening to. You can begin with a free discovery call, twenty unhurried minutes, no pressure and nothing to sell, just a chance to feel what it is like to be met. And when you are ready to know more about the work itself, you can read about somatic energetics here.

You have carried it a long way. Let’s set it down together.
