Diana’s Energy Healing-Restoring Physical, Emotional, Mental Wellness

Owner: Diana Wilson

Diana is a certified emotion code/body code practitioner who uses an energy healing modality for humans and animals to identify and release emotional baggage and negative energies trapped in the body, which can cause physical, mental and emotional pain and illness.

“I provide a gentle, non-invasive, hands-free way to release trauma of all kinds,” says Diana. “Negative energies cause imbalance in the body, which then can cause emotional and physical disease. Releasing the negative energies helps restore proper balance and improve overall health.”
