Having recently qualified as a teacher of the Energy Field Healing Diploma, I often think about the path that people take to becoming a healer. How do we find our way to discovering that we have the ability to work with subtle energy? Is it gut instinct or a slow realisation?

I started my training in Energy Field Healing in 2000, on the first ever Diploma course run by Sue Zange. I always marvel at how lucky I was to find that course. I was far from my home in South Africa, working and travelling in the UK. A colleague had a healing session with Sue and I was absolutely amazed at the change in her afterwards. Having studied Psychology and Counselling, seeing such a profound change after a single hour session was remarkable. I asked her for more information and discovered there was a Diploma course starting in just a few weeks. I just knew it was what I’d been looking for. Even though I’d never had a session myself, I quickly applied. All went well and I ended up qualifying some months later as an Energy Field Healer. I have remained, ever since, totally in love with this beautiful method of healing.

Looking back, I wonder at this amazing turn of events that put me in the right place at the right time. I can only believe that this was meant to be!

Over the next 17 years, I had the pleasure of knowing many friends and clients who embarked on the journey of the Diploma. I find it fascinating how each of them came to it in such different ways. Some had clues come up for them persistently in healing sessions – they would see glimpses of healing skills, or spiritual gifts, and began to understand themselves differently. Some were already on a spiritual or healing path, and found themselves intrigued by this new and incredibly effective method. Some decided that they needed energy skills to look after themselves, because their natural sensitivity was making it difficult to manage in their daily lives. Some people took years to make the decision as it kept coming back around for them, while others knew it was right for them straight away.

The course is an incredible process. It takes place over a weekend every month for 6 or 8 months, with practice work to do at home in between. It involves embarking first on one’s own journey of personal healing. This is very important, as it not only helps each student deal with deeper aspects within themselves that need healing, but also clears the way for their natural energy sensitivity to become stronger so they can sense the subtle energies of others.

When you hear the graduates’ stories of their journey, each experience is so unique. But what seems to be common for everyone is that unlocking these skills and potentials is part of a greater healing journey, which is entirely individual and always provides great personal insight.

In fact, the healing journey of the training is so powerful, that many students sign up for just the journey of self-discovery, rather than with the intention of becoming an Energy Field Healer. That was my reason for signing up! Many people don’t have enough faith in their skills at the start to envision working as a healer. Now, looking back at my experience and that of many other graduates, I can safely say that everyone has the ability to do so, and the training is perfectly designed to move us into this new space. It’s just a matter of seeing the process through and having the faith to keep practising.

It was only by the last weekend of the training that I started to glimpse the possibility that I might help others with my skills too. It took a little time until it became increasingly clear that there was no better way that I could help people than through Energy Field Healing, and that these skills were too special to not use them every day.

Now it’s with great joy that I work full time as a healer and teacher in Cape Town. To be able to work with subtle energy and to see how wonderfully clients heal and move forward after a session, still leaves me in awe and honoured to do this work of service.
