What Is Initiatory Healing Therapy?
Initiatory healing therapy is transformational healing work that addresses your issues on multiple levels at the same time.
Instead of solely working with the mind (like most traditional talk therapies)… initiatory healing practitioners take a holistic approach and tune into the energetic and spiritual realms too.
This means your sessions won’t just help you understand what’s going on and how to cope better.
You’ll leave transformed on a profound level.
Here’s how traditional therapy compares to initiatory healing modalities:
The goal of standard therapy is often to help clients cope with symptoms.
Think of dumping junk into a bin that’s just going to sit there until it’s emptied.
Initiatory healing allows that bin to be emptied. And keeps it from getting filled back up again.
Many therapeutic modalities fall under the umbrella of initiatory healing.
Some focus more on the energy body, others on deep emotions, and some combine both.
If you’re curious to learn more about initiatory healing, check out this article.
Key components of this work include:
- Deep energetic clearing work
- Healing and releasing old patterns
- Transmutation of emotions
Why Transformational Therapies Are Exploding In Popularity
Let’s crunch some numbers:
According to NPR, therapist visits by Americans adults increased by over 30% between 2018 and 2021. Going from 16.5 million visitors to close to 22 million.
But that’s not even the crazy part.
While people are looking for therapists in record numbers… they want healing approaches that go beyond the mind.
Holistic healing centers are popping up everywhere.
Clients are demanding transformational therapies that help heal the root cause of their problems.
Still not convinced? Here are a few more things driving this trend:
Our society is STRESSED.
More burnt out than ever.
And a snappy chat with a therapist just doesn’t CUT IT when your body and energetic system are in pain.
Spiritual awakening is REAL.
As humans evolve, so does our relationship with healing.
Traditional forms of therapy are great… but they’re not designed to take us to higher levels of consciousness.
People are seeking healing modalities that allow them to evolve AS HUMANS.
Initiatory healing checks all those boxes.
How Initiatory Healing Differs From Traditional Approaches
Traditional talk therapy is great for a lot of things.
If you want to better understand your thoughts and how your mind works. Talking things out with someone is an awesome way to gain deeper insight about yourself.
But there’s only so much healing you can do from the mind.
Plus, most people aren’t really looking to understand their problems. They want to experience lasting transformation.
How?
By releasing them on an energetic and emotional level.
Let’s take a look at how these two therapies differ:
Traditional Therapy:
- Works with the mind
- Relieves symptoms
- Change is gradual
- Sessions are typically Talk-based
Initiatory Healing Therapy:
- Works with the mind, body, AND spirit
- Targets root cause for lasting healing
- Change can be instantaneous
- Sessions are a mixture of talk and non-talk based practices
Both have their place.
And if you’re looking for a therapist to better understand your thought patterns… traditional talk therapy is a good route.
But if you want to heal on a spiritual level and EXPERIENCE TOTAL TRANSFORMATION…
Initiatory healing therapy is how most people get there.

That being said…

And help you connect with your spiritual guidance.
Life changing transformation:
Goodbye band-aid solutions…

Finding The Right Practitioner
Ready to take the leap?
Researching healing modalities and connecting with your intuition are wonderful first steps.
But nothing’ll push you further into YOUR journey than working with a qualified Practitioner.
Here are a few things to look for when choosing someone who’s right for you:
- Check credentials. Ensure that they’re properly trained in the initiatory healing modalities they practice.
- Feel the energy. You know that weird feeling you get when something (or someone) Doesn’t Align with you? Listen to that when vetting potential Practitioners.
- Ask questions. Want to know more about what you’ll be doing in session? Your practitioner should be able to explain their process and what to expect.
- Check reviews. While anyone can buy a Google Review these days… positive feedback from prior clients is a good sign that you’ll be in good hands.
At Upreshift, the goal is to help you feel comfortable with your decision.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via email or book a free consultation call with one of the practitioners.
