What is Christ-Centered Emotional/Energy Healing (Splankna)?

Splankna is a Christian mind-body prayer protocol that works where emotion, body, and spirit meet. It’s rooted in Scripture and designed to help release emotional pain that’s been stored in the body — often below conscious awareness — without having to relive the past. Each session invites the Holy Spirit to guide the process, allowing God’s truth to replace old pain, lies, and patterns. Healing flows from the inside out, helping you feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to Him.

How is this different than regular therapy?

Traditional talk therapy often works top-down, helping you process thoughts and emotions with your mind. Splankna works bottom-up, engaging your body first — where emotional pain and stress are often stored. It’s not clinical counseling; it’s a faith-based approach that blends prayer, muscle-response testing, and body-based techniques to identify and release what your body is holding. Where therapy helps you understand your story, Splankna helps your body and spirit release what’s been keeping you stuck.

Why do we use the word “energy”?

At the most basic level, all of God’s creation operates through energy — movement, vibration, and frequency. In Splankna, “energy” simply refers to the physical way the body carries emotion, memory, and stress. We don’t worship or manipulate energy; instead, we recognize it as part of how God designed the human body. Using this understanding, we invite Him to bring healing at every level — physical, emotional, and spiritual.

What does a session look like?

Each session begins in prayer, inviting God into the process. Together, we identify what your body is ready to release using a gentle technique called muscle-response testing. Through light touch on specific body points (paired with prayer and thought), we address emotional blocks and invite God’s truth to take their place. You’ll remain fully clothed, comfortable, and in control throughout. Sessions close with reflection and grounding so you leave feeling peaceful, supported, and renewed.

What kind of responses do people have?

Each person’s experience is unique. Some feel immediate peace or lightness, others notice gradual change over time.

Common responses include:

• Deep calm or emotional release

• New clarity and confidence in hearing God’s voice

• Improved emotional regulation and restful sleep

• Feeling lighter, more grounded, and spiritually connected

• More capacity to handle life’s challenges

• Freedom from emotional pain and trauma

• It’s normal for subtle shifts to unfold in the days following a session as your body continues to integrate the healing work.

Does this require a lot of talking?

Not at all. These sessions are not “talk therapy.” You’re welcome to share what feels important, but there’s no need to rehash painful memories or go into long detail. Much of the work happens quietly and prayerfully — through body-based cues, muscle testing, and guided emotional release.
It’s a process of letting God do the deeper work while you rest and respond as He leads.

What is muscle testing?

Muscle testing, also known as muscle response testing, is a gentle biofeedback tool used to help identify what your body is holding or ready to release. It works by lightly testing a muscle’s strength in response to a thought, emotion, or statement. The muscle’s response helps reveal subconscious stress or stored emotion. It’s simple, non-invasive, and always paired with prayer and discernment — allowing God to guide the process of healing and truth.

Are sessions virtual or in-person?

I offer in-person sessions for those local to the Denver area. Virtual sessions are launching soon. Both are effective — the same healing principles apply whether we’re in the same room or meeting online. In virtual sessions, we don’t use physical muscle testing, but I guide you through modified approaches that allow us to discern what your body and spirit are ready to release in real time.
