Question 1

What is Emotion Code?

Accepted Answer

Emotion Code works to identify and release trapped emotions that are residing in the body. You know how you can feel anxiety? Maybe your stomach gets yucky, your palms sweat, your leg bounces, you feel like you want to bolt? Those are the chemical reactions to the emotion. Sometimes those emotions get stuck in the body instead of cycling out of the body. Emotion Code helps identify them and release them.

Question 2

What is Body Code?

Accepted Answer

Body Code is the next level of Emotion Code. It goes deeper into what the body is holding. We will deal with trapped emotions, but we will also ask more questions about emotions, toxins, pathogens, misalignments, nutrition, and body systems to find out what's making your body struggle to find homeostasis.

Question 3

What's the difference between Emotion Code and Body Code?

Accepted Answer

The only difference between them is the depth of questions that are asked. Body Code asks more about emotions and also asks more than emotions. Body Code also finds more layering of what's keeping things stuck in the body.

Question 4

Do I need to know which one I need?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Your subconscious will guide us to the right path and we will follow that guidance.

Question 5

How do you clear old emotions?

Accepted Answer

Once we find what is needed to be released, you hold the intention to release it and then we guide you through a gentle body movement. As we work together, we'll teach you how you can do it anytime something comes up so that you are empowered to work with your emotions without us.

Question 6

Why do emotions matter?

Accepted Answer

Whew! This is a big question! Most simply, emotions matter because they are information and motivation within the body. When we don't deal with them appropriately, our bodies become a jumble of information and motivation. This can keep us in a constant state of fight/flight/freeze. When we are in this state, our bodies cannot heal. So, unresolved emotions keep us from healing. In Chinese Medicine, we say that the only cause of disease from the inside of the body are emotions, specifically fear, worry/pensiveness, anger, over-joy, shock, and grief.

Question 7

Why do past experiences matter?

Accepted Answer

For all sorts of reasons, we often stuff down our past and try to move on from it, ignore it, or think it doesn't matter. But, if it's unresolved, then our subconscious might still be alerting to sensory information from the past. If you can't figure out why you're trapped in a state of fear, it could be because your subconscious is stuck on something in the past. If we can find that, we can release the vibration.

Question 8

Will I become emotional during the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. But, it's important to know that we hold space for emotions to come "up and out" so that things are released. We can guide you to be with those emotions if they show up in your body. And, if you don't become emotional, that's normal, too.

Question 9

Where are the appointments held?

Accepted Answer

All Emotion Code and Body Code appointments are online.

Question 10

How do you do this kind of work online?

Accepted Answer

We are all connected. You know how you get an inkling about a person and then they call you? Or your mom knows to check you when you're having a big day? Or a dog sits on your foot just when you need some love? That's all our connectedness. We use this connectedness to ask questions to your subconscious and then guide you to release them.

Question 11

I don't want to tell you all about my past. Can I still release the past?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!! We are not therapists. We are not giving therapy. You do not need to tell us about your past to heal.

Question 12

Is this like therapy?

Accepted Answer

This is definitely not like therapy! We are not going to dive into your past or your present. We are going to ask your subconscious what it needs to release to help you feel better, physically or emotionally. Sometimes, we will talk about something your body is asking for: maybe a new perspective, a talk with your doctor, a new modality to try, or something else.

Question 13

How is this different than therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy has the goal of talking about your experiences to learn from them and then adopt new perspectives or strategies to move through life. Emotion Code and Body Code bypass the talking part. We work with your subconscious to find out what needs to be released to help you feel better and release those things. So, instead of needing strategies to navigate your past, you released the thing so that it's nothing vibrating in you causing imbalance.

Question 14

How will I feel after a session?

Accepted Answer

The reaction is very person-specific. Some people are energized. Many people are tired. People who started with pain usually experience less pain. The integration can take a few days so some people feel a little bit emotional for a day or two.

Question 15

Do you work with kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In fact, we love working with kids because we like them to learn from a young age what emotions, how they are experienced within the body, and how to move them out of the body.

Question 16

What conditions does Emotion Code and Body Code treat?

Accepted Answer

Well, technically, the training tells us that it can treat anything. Here are Feeling Better Together, this modality has helped people with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, digestive issues, shoulder pain, hip pain, ankle pain, toe pain, people not feeling like themselves, headaches, bone density issues, sodium level issues, high blood pressure, chronic coughs, vertigo, one-sided body weakness, post-surgical recovery, environmental allergies, food allergies, and much more!

Question 17

Can this help me with trauma?

Accepted Answer

For many people, it does help. Trauma is a stuck experience in the body. Emotion Code and Body release stuck things so these two modalities are very helpful for many people with trauma.

Question 18

Do I still see my doctors/therapists/other health care providers?

Accepted Answer

Please keep seeing all your regular doctors and health care providers. We are not a substitute for traditional care.

Question 19

I feel great after a massage or chiropractic adjustment, but the results never last. Would Emotion Code/Body Code help me?

Accepted Answer

When we talk with chiropractors and massage therapists, we always suggest they send us patients who can't hold the adjustments. When your body can't stay in a balanced state, there's a good chance something is energetically stuck/misaligned that needs to be released.

Question 20

How do I prevent more issues from building up after an appointment with you?

Accepted Answer

We love to educate people during our appointments so we will talk about tips and strategies you can fold into your day if that sounds doable for you.

Question 21

I'm researching Body Code online. Why is everyone talking about imbalances?

Accepted Answer

That's a word we use to say that everything isn't flowing evenly in the body. This lack of even flow results in imbalances. In Chinese Medicine, we describe it as the qi and blood aren't flowing freely. Maybe the left lung channel has a blockage so now there's an imbalance in the body. This imbalance is going to cause strain on the whole body, not just the lung channels, which is going to cause the body to have to work differently. This is where symptoms arise.

Question 22

Why do I keep reading about the root cause on the internet when it comes to health?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms are the body's way of sounding the alarm that something isn't working optimally in the body. If we treat the symptoms, we are trying to turn off the alarm without finding what caused the alarm to go off in the first place. The thing that caused the alarm to go off in the first place (ie: the symptoms) is the root cause. The longer we do this work, the more we realize that trapped emotions and experiences in the body are often linked to root causes.

Question 23

Can I learn how to do this on myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Emotion Code book by Dr. Bradley Nelson does a great job teaching about how to do this on yourself.

Question 24

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

We try to keep the appointments around 45 minutes. Sometimes your subconscious has other plans, though, so the appointment could last as long as an hour.

Question 25

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

We suggest you try 3-4 appointments to determine if you're going to experience healing change from this modality. If you've had anxiety for 10 years, it's not going to be resolved in one appointment.

Question 26

How soon will I notice a difference?

Accepted Answer

Most people experience a change they can notice after each appointment. The changes might be physical (like less pain) or they might be emotional and subtle (like being able to stay calmer at work).

Question 27

Why do I have to pay when making the appointment?

Accepted Answer

We really don't like talking money while working on healing. Paying for the session ahead of time lets us solely focus on you, your experiences, and your subconscious during our time together.

Question 28

What training is required for Emotion Code and Body Code?

Accepted Answer

Emotion Code and Body Code each have their own certifications. To become certified in Body Code, you first have to have been certified in Emotion Code. Hours of training goes into both certifications.
