Disturbances in these frequencies are often a key indicator of distress and disease. Radionics is a healing method that aims to discover imbalances in the body’s electromagnetic field, and then improve that ailment with the use of energy waves. This form of energy medicine has been used to address a number of conditions, such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, and Lyme disease.
When Jen isn’t helping others, she loves being in nature, hanging out with her husband and dog, growing fresh food, and preparing yummy meals for her loved ones.
