When the Nose Knows: The Moment Bioenergetics Turned My Husband Into a Believer

Picture this: I’m knee-deep in my bioenergetic certification training in Utah, still on the fence. I believe in the magic, but I haven’t had that jaw-dropping proof yet.

Meanwhile, back home, my husband’s been living in a scentless world ever since that infamous year we don’t speak of, 2020. He lost his sense of smell, and it simply never came back.

So there I am, learning these new protocols, and I think: why not test them on him? He’s solo parenting, run down, battling sinus issues, and bless him, he’s always game for my latest experiment. I start running remote scans and sending him energetic imprints each night. A little long-distance energy medicine trial.

When I get home, I decide to kick it up a notch. I run a symptom-specific scan for his sinuses, imprint his remedy into a laser, yes, a laser, aim it right at his face, and let the energy do its thing.

The very next morning, our daughter’s slathering herself in super-strong lotion, he comes into the kitchen and says to me, “What is she using? I can smell it from across the house! I don’t know what’s happening, I’ve been able to smell everything!”

After years of nothing, his sense of smell was back. I gave him a sly little grin and he yelled “oh man, you did that laser thing on me!!!”, we both burst out laughing.

That was the moment we both knew: bioenergetics is the real deal.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Who I Am and What I Do
My name is Sarah Potekhen. I’m the founder of Energized Bliss Wellness, your go-to Chief Energy Officer. I help high performers align their energy before burnout begins.

As a certified holistic health coach, energy healer, and bioenergetic testing practitioner, I work with clients to support the body’s natural healing intelligence, clear energetic stressors, and restore vitality.

I spent more than 25 years in the corporate world leading complex projects across industries like healthcare, consulting, manufacturing, and tech. I was successful on paper but constantly running on fumes. After years of pushing through, I realized I wasn’t meant to just survive high performance, I was meant to help others redefine it.

That realization led me to intuitive healing, Reiki, spiritual mentorship, and ultimately to bioenergetic testing, a quantum-based approach to identifying stress patterns in the body and restoring alignment before symptoms ever show up. Once I experienced the power of energy healing, I knew I had a gift that needed to be shared. I haven’t looked back.

Today, I partner with high-performing women, parents, entrepreneurs, busy professionals, and purpose-driven leaders who don’t have time to miss a day and who are ready to understand their energy in a completely new way.
My work integrates intuitive coaching, bioenergetic testing, and custom energetic remedies that help my clients reduce stress, restore clarity, perform stronger, and live in full alignment with who they are.

How I Support My Clients
I blend science-backed tools with intuitive energy work to help my clients:
• Prevent burnout and optimize energy before crisis hits
• Clear subconscious patterns, stressors, and stuck emotional imprints
• Align with their next level of vitality, clarity, and soul purpose

My Services
• Bioenergetic Testing (Qest4): Energetic scans to identify stressors (emotional, mental, physical, environmental) and support energetic balance. Includes imprinted, custom frequency-based remedies.
• Intuitive Energy Transformation Coaching: Sacred containers that blend energy healing, intuitive coaching, nervous system support, and mindset shifts.
• Healing Retreats: Transformational experiences in locations such as the sacred energies of Sedona, focused on reconnection, sisterhood, and soul alignment
• Speaking & Workshops: I love teaching on energy awareness, burnout prevention, inner alignment, and sustainable performance.

What Sets Me Apart
I don’t just focus on what’s “wrong,” I help my clients remember what’s possible. Blending science and soul, I bring the structure and insight from my corporate leadership background and combine it with deeply intuitive, energetic work that creates lasting transformation.

I’m not here to treat symptoms. I’m here to shift systems, both internal and external, so my clients can show up as their most grounded, powerful, and alive selves.

What I’m Most Proud Of
I’m proud of the women I’ve supported through their biggest pivots, wake-up calls, and breakthroughs. I’m proud I had the confidence to leave a high-paying corporate job, follow the whisper of my soul and now help others do the same.

I’m proud of the moments when a client looks at me and says, “I feel like myself again.” That’s when I know we’ve done more than make progress, we’ve activated something that can’t be turned off.

But most of all, I’m proud to be a mirror, a spark, a light, a permission slip for others to stop chasing and start aligning.

What I Want You to Know
Your energy is everything. And when it’s aligned, everything else flows. Whether you’re healing, expanding, or ready to rise, I’m here to help you reclaim your light and live from your most vibrant, powerful self.

To Energize Your Bliss is to remember who you really are, because when you understand your energy, you change your life.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

For most of my life, I believed safety came from control.

If I was responsible, over-prepared, and in charge, then everything and everyone would be okay. It was the pattern that made me successful in the corporate world: leading massive projects, staying ten steps ahead, and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

Unfortunately, underneath that drive and massive need for control was exhaustion. I was running on adrenaline, living for deadlines, and confusing control with peace. The truth was, my nervous system was fried, and my soul was quietly whispering, there’s another way.

When I finally listened, I realized the lesson I had to unlearn was that control equals safety. The truth is, I’m most alive, impactful and magnetic when I let go, trust my energy and flow. Real safety is found in connection.

Now, as an intuitive healer and energy practitioner, I teach my clients what I had to live to learn:
that alignment is far more powerful than control, presence creates more results than pushing ever did, when we let go of managing every outcome, we open the door to miracles.

Have you ever had to pivot?

For more than 25 years, I built a career that looked flawless on paper.

I led multimillion-dollar projects, managed global teams, and thrived in high-stakes environments where control and precision were everything. I was the dependable one, the fixer, the problem-solver, the one who made the impossible happen.

But beneath the achievement was exhaustion. I had mastered performance but lost connection to myself. I lived for deadlines, ran on caffeine and adrenaline, and mistook being needed for being alive. My body was sending signals. My intuition was whispering. But I was too busy doing to listen. The signs kept getting louder…and I still wasn’t listening.

For years, I had quietly dabbled in energy work, holistic health, Reiki, and bioenergetic testing. I was feeling the flicker of something deeper calling me. Yet every time I thought about leaving the security of corporate life, fear whispered louder: What if you fail? What if this isn’t really what you’re meant to do?
So, I stayed.
I kept saying, maybe one more year…then I’ll be ready.

The universe, of course, had other plans. It laughed at my timelines and delivered the most unmistakable sign of all: a layoff I never saw coming. And instead of panic, I felt peace, like my soul exhaled after holding its breath for years. Afterall, I did that, I made it happen. That’s when I knew this wasn’t an ending. It was an invitation. I was certain: This is my time. This is my path.

In that stillness, I realized I wasn’t meant to keep surviving high performance, I was meant to help others redefine it. To guide them on their own journey from burnout to bliss. I began to understand how the body holds energy, how alignment fuels performance, and how true healing requires both structure and surrender.

That’s when Energized Bliss Wellness was officially born, the bridge between science and soul.

Today, I serve as a Chief Energy Officer for high performers who want to align their energy before burnout begins. I help them clear stress patterns, restore flow, and reconnect with their vitality so they can lead, love, and live from their highest frequency. I call it bridging strategy with spirit, bringing everything I learned in boardrooms into the realm of energy, awareness, and alignment.

That pivot didn’t just change my career; it transformed the way I live, lead, and serve. It’s where my greatest fear became my greatest freedom and where I finally learned that true success isn’t about doing more. It’s about aligning your energy, trusting your flow, and choosing to Energize Your Bliss.
