Hi, I’m Banner.
I'm a certified Body and Emotion Code practitioner living in Charleston, SC. I work with clients in-person and remotely who want to feel more energized so they experience emotional wellness, feel more balanced, and continue thriving.
I first did The Body Code to heal myself.
Like many people, I experienced trauma as a child and teen. I worked to heal those wounds over the years. I first started secretly learning about energy work in general at the age of 17, when my father was diagnosed with colon cancer. I experienced more traumatic events as an adult including a divorce, a double mastectomy, the death of my mother and a terrifying assault, among other things. I found myself in a chronic state of "fight or flight". My nervous system was shot and it was taking it’s toll on my health. The Emotion Code helped me through some tough times and I knew I had found a beautiful modality to help remove blocks to healing myself.
I opened my photography studio way back in 1999 and after years of wear and tear on my camera hand, my tendons and ligaments were not working properly. It eventually required five hand surgeries before I could pick up my camera again. This was a very stressful time. If I wasn't working, I wasn't being paid. And there were no guarantees that the surgeries would heal my “camera hand”.
Having two children to support and a business to run, I did not want anything to deter my ability to be the best mom I could be or to harm my business. I refused to continue to live in a state of chronic pain and fear.
I had been a student and unofficial practitioner of the Emotion Code (on myself) for many years at this point and had privately used it off and on over the previous 15 years for various reasons. It was during my recovery from hand surgeries that I became a certified Body Code and Emotion Code practitioner and dove further into Reiki as well as sound healing with tuning forks and singing bowls.
The positive impact these tools had on my life was amazing. I felt more energized, balanced, emotionally well, and I continued to thrive (despite the natural ups and downs of life!).
Today, I’m not only back behind the lens, but I also help people who are experiencing everything from anxiety and depression to a large range of physical ailments and misalignments. My studio sessions, which include the Body Code, sprinkled with a bit of Reiki and sound healing, are a great stand-alone ‘treatment’ and/or can be a wonderful complement to my clients’ other health and healing protocols. These sessions (remote or in-person) also benefit clients who are already thriving and want to continue to experience heightened well-being and prevent any imbalances from manifesting in the physical body in the future.
I invite you to connect with me to learn more about my in-person and remote sessions.
As Nikola Tesla once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Happy Vibing,
