The Emotion Code® is an energy healing modality developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson that focuses on identifying and releasing trapped emotional energies that may contribute to emotional, physical, or energetic imbalances.

The Emotion Code® uses a form of biofeedback called muscle testing, also known as applied kinesiology, to communicate with the subconscious mind and identify trapped emotions that are ready to be released.

According to The Emotion Code®, a trapped emotion is a ball of emotional energy that may become lodged in the body after an emotionally charged experience. Trapped emotions represent unresolved emotional experiences, or “emotional baggage” that were never fully processed. The Emotion Code teaches that these trapped emotions may contribute to emotional, physical, or energetic imbalances. During a session, trapped emotions are identified through muscle testing and are released to support greater balance and well being.

Remote sessions are conducted by phone, Zoom, or email and utilize proxy testing, a technique commonly used in The Emotion Code®. During proxy testing, the practitioner temporarily acts as a surrogate for the client, allowing access to the client’s subconscious mind from a distance. The practitioner performs muscle testing on themselves to identify trapped emotions and other information relevant to the session, such as the age when it was trapped.

Because Emotion Code sessions work energetically, clients do not need to be physically present with the practitioner. Following the session, you will receive a personalized report outlining the trapped emotions identified and released during your session.

All three session formats provide the same personalized care and attention, and The Emotion Code® process is the same regardless of which communication method you choose. Every session includes a detailed written report outlining the trapped emotions that were released, along with descriptions, personalized integration suggestions, and any other relevant information to support your continued wellness journey.

The primary difference is simply how you'd prefer to connect. Phone is a great choice if you enjoy a relaxed, conversational experience without being on camera. Zoom is ideal if you'd like to meet face-to-face and appreciate the added connection of seeing each other during your session. Email is perfect if you enjoy taking your time to reflect, prefer communicating in writing, have a busy schedule, or live in a different time zone.

You'll select your session first (human or animal), then choose your preferred communication format during the booking process. You're always welcome to choose different communication formats for future sessions. For example, you might book a phone session one time, a Zoom session the next, and an email session after that—whatever best fits your preferences, schedule, or the focus of the session.

Yes. Emotion Code® Sessions are conducted using proxy testing on behalf of the animal, with the permission and participation of the animal's owner. According to The Emotion Code®, animals can also experience trapped emotions resulting from stressful events, injuries, surrender, changes in their environment, loss, or other life experiences.

The goal is to identify and release trapped emotional energies that may be contributing to emotional, behavioral, or energetic imbalances, supporting greater balance and overall well-being.

Sessions may be performed for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals.

Yes. Emotion Code sessions may be performed for infants and children with the permission of a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian must authorize the session and complete any required intake forms on the child's behalf.

Children, like adults, may experience emotionally charged events that can lead to trapped emotions. The goal is to identify and release trapped emotional energies that may be contributing to imbalances, supporting greater emotional balance and overall well-being.

The number of Emotion Code® sessions needed varies from person to person and depends on your wellness goals, life experiences, and the issues being addressed. Some concerns may require only one or two sessions, while more complex or long-standing issues may benefit from additional work.

Many clients notice meaningful shifts after a single session, and it's often possible for the severity of a concern to decrease during a single appointment. However, because every individual is unique, there is no predetermined number of sessions that's right for everyone.

Each session builds on the previous one, and any recommendations I make are based on your individual needs, wellness goals, and what your subconscious mind determines is appropriate to release.

No. While you are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable, it is not necessary to discuss personal details for an Emotion Code session to be effective. Sessions are guided by muscle testing and proxy testing rather than traditional talk therapy.

Some clients choose to discuss memories, emotions, or life experiences during a session, while others prefer a more private approach. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment that respects your comfort level and personal boundaries.

Yes. Following your session, you will receive a personalized report summarizing the trapped emotions that were identified and released during your session. Your report may also include any relevant insights, self-care suggestions, integration exercises, or anything else that may have been discussed during the session.

Many clients find these reports helpful for reflecting on their experience and tracking their progress over time. Reports are typically emailed within 24 hours of your session.

Every person responds differently to an Emotion Code® session. Some clients report feeling lighter, calmer, more balanced, or emotionally relieved following a session. Others may notice shifts in their thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, or overall sense of well-being in the days and weeks that follow. Some notice improvements in areas of life that were influenced by the trapped emotions that were released.

Occasionally, clients experience temporary emotional or physical responses as the body integrates the work. This may include a greater awareness of emotions, memories, or insights. Some people also experience mild tiredness or fatigue for a short time after a session.

Integration looks different for everyone. Some people notice changes almost immediately, while for others the shifts are more gradual. Staying well-hydrated, getting adequate rest, and following any recommended self-care or integration suggestions may help support the process.
