We recently connected with Hannah York and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Hannah thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I stumbled into this idea in 2019. I had been searching for ways to help myself heal, and in 2019 one of the practitioners I was seeing suggested a modality that relies on muscle testing to get answers from the subconscious mind. I read the book, reluctantly, and started practicing the technique. I was at the point in my life that “traditional” approaches weren’t helping, and in fact I ran out of options to try. As I read this book, and practiced on myself, then on those around me, I realized I had a powerful ability to tap into energy.
For added context. I grew up in Montana and went to college for Geophysical Engineering in 2010. I am a science-based person, it took a lot of mind bending for me to seek alternative treatment in the first place. Then to be introduced to energy healing was my next big stretch. It was an act of mental gymnastics to get to the place where I was practicing and learning to do the work myself.
Back to the story.
I signed up to take the certification class, and in the process, I realized how much I could help others, as well as myself. My ability to ask questions and see past the perceived blocks was a huge asset to this work. It is my nature to ask questions when presented with a problem. Where did this come from? What is it? Why are you still holding onto it?
I quickly learned that there was so much more out there in this world of energy healing. I took more classes and gathered knowledge. I felt like something was missing, something that would make my sessions even more transforming for those I worked with. I was stuck on the learning treadmill. There was always another class to take, something else to learn before I could feel complete.
Luckily, I was able to identify that and start looking inward and see how the pieces already fit together. I asked (myself?), what are my gifts, and how do I want to use them?
The answer came quickly, even though I resisted hearing it. It is my ability to ask questions and see past the block that people perceive. My connection to energy has now amplified this ability. I help my clients release the energetic and emotional ties that keep old patterns, thoughts, habits in place. I can see, feel, and hear the energy that needs to be released, heard, or loved in order to move forward. It might be entity attachments, trauma from when you were in the womb, energy you picked up from someone else… The list is endless, and that is why my ability to be curious and ask questions is so valuable. If I haven’t seen it before, I simply ask questions until we know enough to release the energy from you.
I started my business in 2019, but I didn’t realize at the time how much it would change me. Looking back, I can see my spirit team guiding me into it, and then celebrating. Once I started there was no turning back!
I have navigated so many periods of darkness as I have faced, confronted, and facilitated calmness/release/relief for the healing required to nurture and expand this connection. My business has provided a path for a deep and intense healing journey.
I have had experiences with other practitioners along the way that span from horrifically bad or disappointing all the way to fantastic. Looking back, they were all necessary. I needed to experience both sides of the coin. Those experiences have informed the decisions I make to ensure that my business and sessions are the safe, loving, supportive container where healing can happen.
I have learned who I want to be, and how I want to show up for others. Recognizing bad experiences increased the desire to consciously shape my sessions as much as the good experiences healed me.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I work with the energy that is all around us, in the very air we breathe. I help you untangle the energetic knots, tears, snags that are keeping the energy from connecting and flowing in the way you desire. We are connected to all possibilities and desires. The question is how clear the energetic connection to what you do or don’t want.
My ability to ask questions, and to see beyond what I know consciously helps me identify the energy that most needs to be released, or called in.
I am honored by my clients’ ability to be vulnerable and open to change. You never really know what will come up in a session. Ten people can have the same goal in one week. Every person will have a different energetic story that comes up. It is an act of love for themselves that they can show up and be open to what comes forward.
I believe this work can help anyone who feels interested in learning more. Often we don’t know what we want or need until we get started. If you feel a pull to this work, it is worth investigating and learning more.
It is courageous to explore the unknown within yourself. As people progress deeper into their own healing; many lose sight of that. Whether you are just starting or have been on this journey for a while now, I want you to know I am proud of you.
While that is all well and good, how about some real-life examples of energy weaving and shifting?
• A business owner was able to shift the energy between her and her commercial rental space. The company told her she was the only one in the history of the company to receive a full refund of their deposit.
• A dog had severe anxiety about the owner leaving the home. Now the dog is calmer and no longer panics when she leaves.
• A company was having difficulty with a project site, the energy of the land was causing major disruptions to progress. After multiple sessions, a truce was formed. The workers were able to move forward with consistent progress, and minimal interference after that.
• A business owner was looking to increase their income and bookings. After the appointment they met their monthly income target.
• Fear of driving on icy roads. She can now drive in the winter without panic. This was helped by releasing a deep-seated fear from childhood.
• Improved relationships. Interpersonal and romantic.
• Improvement in physical symptoms. Many clients notice an improvement in their physical symptoms when we begin to release the energy blocks in the body. The body can then repair itself more easily. This is especially prevalent when there does not seem to be known cause that the doctors can find. This is what got me started on my journey!

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Treating people the way I want to be treated. That is the golden rule right? Before I started my business I learned that this is not really the best way. Hear me out… It is a great place to start, until you know better. The best way to treat people is how THEY want to be treated. We are all motivated by different desires and what makes us feel seen and heard. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying you need to change or twist yourself in knots to appease the other person. I am saying that if it is something I notice, and can do, I try to. I used to live by this rule. I wanted to create my business in the way that helped me. I wanted to offer sessions in the way that I needed them. After a while I noticed that my clients actually get the best results when I met them where they were. Is today a guided meditation and I work in silence for most of it? Can we delve into questions and find the patterns? Do you need to connect to your body?
For a while I was letting my preference for the type of healing sessions I like, dictate the session types I offer. To be clear I love all the session types I offer, however they are not all the style of session I personally relate to when I seek out other practitioners. It can feel and seem counterintuitive. All I know is that when I removed the limitation of only treating people and doing business how I wanted to be treated, everything felt better. The ways we limit ourselves in our everyday life can be subtle and mind-blowing at the same time when we can see the far-reaching ripple effects.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

Referrals. Building a network of people that trust what you offer and who you are as a person. I found a community that I enjoyed interacting with online and stayed present there. I answered questions. I offered free events to get my name noticed. It started slow, but when you are building a referral network it truly has the potential to grow exponentially.
