Energy Work

Trauma-Informed. Spirit-Led. Soul-Driven.

What is Energy Work?

Clear blocks. Regulate your nervous system. Shift your entire field.

Grounded in clinical training, martial arts discipline, and energetic mastery, Sara Vandenburg’s trauma-informed energy work combines somatic healing, applied kinesiology, and muscle testing with subtle field-balancing techniques. Whether you’re clearing inherited trauma, regulating chronic anxiety, or seeking deeper integration, this work activates your body’s innate intelligence and restores flow where it’s been blocked.

How Energy Work with Sara Vandenburg Works

Sara’s trauma-informed energy work is rooted in clinical insight, martial arts discipline, and deep energetic attunement. Each session is a precise, individualized experience designed to restore flow, ease, and coherence across your physical, emotional, and energetic systems.

Techniques may include:

Applied Kinesiology and Muscle Testing

Used to identify energetic, physiological, and emotional imbalances by observing the body’s reflexive responses to gentle pressure. These techniques help pinpoint disruptions that might not be consciously known but are stored in the nervous system.

Creative Emotional Wizardry (CEW)

CEW is a transformational energy modality developed by Dr. Randy Robirds that uses targeted language and muscle testing to locate and shift stuck emotional energy. Working through your body’s electrical and emotional systems, CEW brings unconscious beliefs and survival patterns to the surface and then clears them.

Total Body Modification (TBM) Vials

These vials work with the body’s energetic system to help identify and shift unresolved emotional patterns. Using muscle testing, the body selects specific vials that correspond to subconscious beliefs or energetic imprints.

Examples are:

  • Relief From Worry & Anxiety 
  • Addicted to Fear
  • Fear of Being Sexy
  • OK to be Assertive
  • Self Love 
  • Acceptance of Love
  • Acceptance of Yourself
  • Acceptance of Wealth

Once identified, targeted energy work helps clear these blocks and re-establish alignment with healthier emotional states. Clients often experience shifts around self-worth, love, assertiveness, and fears.

TTAPS (Tapping Tangoreceptors Anodynia Proprioceptive Information Sanative)

A neuro-energetic technique developed by Dr. Alan Bonebrake, TTAPS works directly with the body’s meridian and reflex systems. By stimulating specific acupoints through touch or tapping, TTAPS can rapidly shift energetic blockages, regulate the nervous system, and help integrate emotional and physiological stress patterns. This method is especially effective for clearing trauma stored in the body and restoring natural energetic flow.

Energetic Realignment

This method uses precise muscle testing and subtle energetic recalibration to locate and shift areas of blocked or misdirected energy. It’s designed to help restore your natural state of internal balance, especially after periods of stress, emotional upheaval, or disconnection. Sessions may focus on releasing emotional congestion, recalibrating how your body responds to past experiences, or re-centering your system after burnout or energetic overload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything in your body, mind, and emotional system is energy. Your heartbeat, your thoughts, your memories, even your trauma responses all have an energetic imprint. When that energy gets disrupted, blocked, or overwhelmed, it can create symptoms that show up emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Energy work helps restore flow where things have gotten stuck. It supports your nervous system, clears out old patterns, and helps your body integrate what traditional talk therapy may not fully reach. For many clients, it’s the missing link between intellectual insight and embodied healing.

Yes. Energy transcends time and space, meaning virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person ones. Muscle testing, energetic field work, and clearing techniques can all be done remotely. Most clients report feeling deeply seen, shifted, and grounded no matter where they are in the world.

Absolutely. Energy work is a powerful complement to therapy, coaching, spiritual practices, and medical treatment. Many of Sara’s clients work with her alongside traditional psychotherapy and/or coaching modalities. This work supports integration, nervous system regulation, and emotional clearing no matter what other paths you're walking.

That depends on your goals. Some clients come for a single session to shift something specific while others schedule regular sessions as part of their ongoing healing or spiritual practice. We'll discuss your needs together and create a rhythm that supports your body’s pace of change. 

Not exactly. People often compare this work to Reiki because both use energy, intuition, and intention, but Sara’s approach is more clinical, structured, and targeted. Her methods are rooted in trauma-informed care, applied kinesiology, and nervous system regulation. If you’ve tried Reiki and felt underwhelmed, this may be the depth you were looking for. And if you loved Reiki, this work can take you even further, more targeted, and deeper into the body, the unconscious, and the places traditional energy healing might not reach.

Ready to Realign?

Whether you’re carrying inherited trauma, caught in familiar energetic holding patterns, or simply know something feels “off,” your body is already asking for change. Let’s shift it.

If you’re ready to explore what’s possible, schedule a session today. Sessions are currently virtual and available to clients across the U.S. and beyond.

Testimonials

Former Client

“Working with Sara Vandenburg changed the trajectory of my life...Through our work together, she helped me access and heal the parts of myself that didn’t believe I deserved peace—parts that thought I was only strong enough to survive the pain, not move beyond it. Her approach and presence made all the difference. Nearly three years later, I look at my life and see growth I never thought possible. I held my first real job, something that once felt out of reach due to impatience and trauma from a past that included being trafficked. Finding a place where I could belong felt impossible—until now. Sara didn’t just help me heal—she helped me believe again. Believe in my own strength, my own future, and most importantly, my worth.”

Former Client

“I came to Sara Vandenburg at one of the darkest points in my life. As an incest survivor struggling with sex and love addiction as well as drug addiction, I felt completely lost, broken, and unsure if healing was even possible. Over the past three years, everything has changed — and I truly owe that to her. Through our one-on-one sessions, brainspotting, and transformative exercises, she created a safe, judgment-free space where I could finally begin to untangle years of trauma…Since working with her, I’ve become a mother, moved out of my parents’ home into a space of my own, and most importantly — I’ve remained sober from drugs…I’ve reclaimed my body, my mind, and my spirit. I’ve become a woman I’m proud of — grounded, strong, and full of self-worth. If you are struggling and looking for someone to help guide you back to yourself, look no further. Sara doesn’t just do therapy — she changes lives. She changed mine.”

Former Client

“Before working with Sara, I felt like I was carrying decades of unspoken pain in my body—grief, trauma, shame, and confusion I couldn’t even name. Traditional therapy helped to a point, but it often felt like I was just talking in circles. Brainspotting with Sara changed everything. From the very first session, I knew this was different. Sara’s presence is calming, intuitive, and safe. She doesn’t just sit across from you—she holds space for you, gently guiding you into the places where the real healing happens…Sara helped me reconnect to myself—to my story, my body, my voice, and even my faith. She didn’t just help me survive trauma. She helped me reclaim my joy and rewrite my future. I truly believe God placed her in my life at the perfect time.”
