Energy healing is often talked about in vague or mystical terms—but beneath the language and symbolism lies a grounded, deeply human truth: we all carry emotional, physical, and spiritual imprints that shape how we feel, respond, and move through the world. In this episode, we explore the foundations of energy healing and the chakra system with Stephanie Ulven, founder of Equanimity Wellness.

Stephanie’s path into this work began long before she knew what to call it. In the early '90s, she studied psychology and sociology, searching for answers about why people feel disconnected from themselves. But it wasn’t until she moved into cosmetology—an unexpected doorway—that she discovered the profound impact of touch, presence, and authentic connection. Clients began asking not just for services, but for what they called a “Stephanie Session”—space to unravel, breathe, and finally feel like themselves again.

When the world unraveled during the pandemic, people turned to her not only for comfort but for clarity. She realized that many were carrying emotional and energetic burdens with nowhere safe to process them. Her calling deepened.

Today, Stephanie is a Master Educator in multiple energy modalities, including Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki, Crystal Reiki, Karuna Ki Reiki, and Sekhem Reiki. Through Equanimity Wellness, she offers a sanctuary for those seeking grounding, emotional release, nervous system regulation, and a return to inner balance. Her work is rooted in understanding the duality of human experience—what we say versus what we truly feel—and guiding clients back to honesty, alignment, and peace.

In this episode, we explore:
• What energy healing is (and what it is not)
• How blocked or overwhelmed energy shows up in the body
• The chakra system as a map for emotional and spiritual wellbeing
• Why touch, presence, and attunement are powerful tools for healing
• How reconnecting to our internal landscape creates resilience

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, emotionally overloaded, or unsure why your inner world feels so heavy, this conversation brings clarity, compassion, and a grounded understanding of how energy healing supports the whole person.
