A deeper understanding of yourself, your patterns, and your direction
There are times in life when we find ourselves questioning where we are, why things feel the way they do, or what might help us move forward with more ease. Personal Energy Mapping offers a gentle, insightful way to step back and see the bigger picture — helping you understand your natural tendencies, strengths, and the patterns that shape how you respond to life.
Using BaZi (Chinese energy mapping) through the lens of Chinese medicine, these sessions explore how your unique energy blueprint influences the way you think, feel, make decisions, and navigate change. Rather than predicting outcomes, this work is about helping you make sense of your experience — why certain things come easily, why some periods feel more demanding, and what supports you in feeling more balanced and steady.
Many people find that simply having language for who they are brings relief and clarity. It can help you feel more accepting of yourself, more confident in your direction, and more able to work with your energy rather than pushing against it.
Whether you’re feeling curious, at a crossroads, or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, these sessions offer a calm, supportive space to reflect, gain perspective, and reconnect with your natural rhythm.
Below you’ll find three ways to explore this work, depending on the depth of insight you’re looking for.

What is Personal Energy Mapping?
Personal Energy Mapping is a way of understanding your natural tendencies, strengths, and patterns through the lens of Chinese medicine. It helps make sense of how you respond to life, what supports your energy, and why certain phases can feel more demanding or expansive.
This work draws on BaZi, a traditional Chinese system that maps energy patterns based on your birth details. Rather than predicting events, BaZi is used here as a reflective tool to understand personality, timing, and the rhythms you may be moving through.
What happens in a session?
Before we meet, I spend time preparing your chart and translating the patterns it shows into something clear, practical, and relevant to you. This preparation is an important part of the process and is reflected in the session cost.
During our online session, I talk you through what I see in a grounded, supportive way — helping you understand your strengths, sensitivities, and how the current year or life phase may be influencing you.
A gentle note
