Bioenergetics
There are numerous forms of natural healing, such as the use of herbal remedies, certain therapies, or even finding sanctuary in nature for relaxation, reflection, and regeneration. These approaches may support the physical body when it is under duress, injured, or experiencing the natural decline of aging. Bioenergetics is another healing approach one may consider.
How Bioenergetics Can Support Personal Healing
The premise of Bioenergetics (also referred to as BEST, or Bioenergetic Synchronization Technique) is that unresolved emotions, stress, and/or trauma are the underlying cause of most physical and mental discomforts in life. However, one does not need to be injured or experience certain health issues to gain insight and support at the emotional level. For many people, insights and support gained on the emotional level may be invaluable to support overall health at the physical level. Otherwise, one may continue to respond to life’s discomforts in personally familiar ways — with anger, fear, powerlessness, despair, or some other emotional response.
Bioenergetics is a profound technique for gaining insight and offering strategies that support emotional and physical healing. In this way, the natural wisdom and regenerative abilities of our body/mind/spirit may be better understood and expressed. The recipient may also be better able to respond to the daily challenges of life — whether physical, mental, or spiritual.
Who Created the Healing Technique of Bioenergetics?
Bioenergetics was created by Dr. M.T. Morter in the 1970s, and continued by his daughter, Dr. Sue Morter — a medically trained doctor and researcher, and the best-selling author of The Energy Codes: The 7-Step System to Awaken Your Spirit, Heal Your Body, and Live Your Best Life.
The technique was developed through the Morters’ many years of working with patients’ physical needs while closely observing the mental and emotional discomfort patients were experiencing at the same time. They came to understand and work with the valid connection between physical discomfort and emotional distress.

I was trained by Dr. Sue Morter to receive certification and to offer the supportive healing technique of Bioenergetics to others. Over 40 years ago, I also received training and certification in Reiki — an excellent and historically used supportive technique for the physical and emotional issues one may experience in life. I have conducted hundreds of Reiki sessions over my 40 years of practice and have taught Reiki for over 30 years.
Bless your life and health. Always be hopeful in your quest for peace. I look forward to serving you soon.

How is a Bioenergetics Session Conducted?
Bioenergetics can be conducted in person at my office in Eugene, Oregon. It can also be conducted remotely, with the client’s permission, during one-on-one live sessions on Zoom or FaceTime.
Typically, a Bioenergetics session — whether in person or remote — lasts from 1.5 to 2 hours. Reiki healing (an excellent supportive technique like Bioenergetics) is also offered or sent at the end of a Bioenergetics session. Detailed notes about the results encountered and cleared in each session are provided to the client, usually within 72 hours.
Bioenergetics is an excellent supportive complement to physical or emotional healing modalities you may currently be using — such as herbal remedies, physical therapy, or pharmaceuticals.
In practice, Bioenergetics is a gentle, hands-on process when done in person. The client remains fully clothed lying on a massage table. When a remote session is arranged, the client lies on a bed or other comfortable horizontal surface, with visual contact maintained throughout via Zoom or FaceTime.

What My Clients Say About Bioenergetics
I have really enjoyed my Bioenergetics and Reiki sessions with Tricia. They were incredibly healing for me when I was going through a period of deep grief over the loss of a child. In addition, she revealed things from my past that were holding me back and we released those. I left her sessions feeling grounded, restored, and cared for. Tricia is a trustworthy and gifted healer. She is very generous with her time and attention.

If you are looking for a soulful, heartfelt journey full of love and tender care of body and soul, I would highly recommend Tricia for Bioenergetics and Reiki. I have done many Bioenergetics sessions with Tricia, and it has been an unbelievable journey. I learned both Reiki I and II with her and had fabulous experiences. Tricia is a loving human being.
Linda M.
Oregon
I am a pseudo healthy 86-year-old woman dealing with age-related conundrums — low energy, low motivation, and wobbly legs. Tricia’s light is very bright. Her insightful words have given me new perspective on my insecurities, and I feel more grounded and empowered. After a 2.5-hour Bioenergetic healing and Reiki treatment I feel very relaxed and constitutionally stronger. I highly recommend Tricia’s treatments, especially if you have some unarticulated kinks in your psyche. She’s the best.
Ruby H.
Oregon
Bioenergetic healing sessions with Tricia have led to profound shifts for me; while some are noticeable right away, others are more subtle, all far reaching. She has helped me release more trauma in a few sessions than decades of traditional therapy. I’ve recommended her to many family and friends. Bonus: the land she and Forrest steward is a restorative and inspirational space; wander through the magical labyrinth and the secret gardens.
Jamie L.
Oregon
Because of Tricia’s amazing treatments, I was recently able to sit upright in a chair at my own kitchen table for the first time in ten years, due to an accident I was involved in. Tricia’s holistic approach to healing includes Bioenergetics, Reiki, and more. It treats inner emotional blockage which, once released, brings on the corresponding physical healing — at least it did in my case. I highly recommend Tricia to all who seek a new path to health and healing.

Tricia is an incredibly gifted healer! I was blessed to receive her Bioenergetics sessions regularly over 4 months. During that time I was able to cut through a lot of old limiting patterns and open to a more powerful version of my True self. She did this with precise truth-telling, all the while being the gentle guide that anyone doing this transformational work needs. I do not quite understand how she sees so clearly, but she just does!
