David Phillips - Energetic Awakenings

David Phillips - Energetic Awakenings Energetic Awakenings helps you achieve personal transformation through body based therapy & energy work.

Main modalities are: Core Energetics, Imago Couples Therapy & Reiki. Personal transformation is a change in the way you feel about yourself and subsequently the world. Hidden beneath the physical surface, are levels of emotions, thought patterns and learned beliefs that help shape your self image. Imbalances and energy blockages on these levels manifest as emotional discomforts and even physical illnesses. The most effective way to create transformative change is to uncover root causes and begin the healing process from the deepest emotional level. Conventional therapy and medicine take a different approach to healing. Body based therapy and energy healing offer a holistic healing solution encompassing body, mind and spirit.

Hi — I’m David.

Most people find their way to this work because something in their life isn’t working the way they want it to. They feel stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected in their relationships, or unsure how to move forward — even after trying other approaches.

My work focuses on helping individuals and couples slow down, look honestly at what’s happening beneath the surface, and create meaningful change that lasts. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and centered on real life — not quick fixes.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

For a long time, I thought I needed to think my way out of stress.
More affirmations. More “positive mindset.” More pushing.

What actually helped? Tiny, physical signals of safety.

Here are 6 micro-habits we teach clients when their system feels overwhelmed:

•Gentle pressure — hugging a pillow, pressing your feet into the floor
• Temperature shifts — cool water on your wrists or warmth in your hands
• Orienting — slowly scanning the room and noticing where you are
• Auditory anchors — steady music, white noise, familiar voices
• Far-gaze reset — looking into the distance for 20–30 seconds
• Bilateral movement — walking, gentle rocking, left/right tapping

None of these require motivation.
None of them require “calming down.”

💬 Which one do you already do without realizing it?
💾 Save this for the next time your body feels like it’s in overdrive.

As a holistic counselor, I am always grateful when clients start to open up during their sessions.

Creating a space where people feel safe, supported, and heard is at the core of my work.

If you're looking for a place to slow down and reconnect, Energetic Awakenings welcomes you.

Feeling exhausted, like you're unable to truly rest, doesn’t make you lazy.
Often, it means your nervous system is fried.

When your body doesn’t feel safe, slowing down can actually feel uncomfortable—even threatening. Your system may stay in “go mode” because it learned that constant movement, productivity, or control helped you cope at one point.

If this resonates, a few gentle reminders:
• You’re not broken—your body is protecting you
• Rest doesn’t have to mean complete stillness
• Safety comes before calm
• Softening, even just a little, is enough for now

Healing and regulation don’t start with forcing yourself to relax. They begin with small pauses, slow breaths, and moments of gentleness that help your body feel supported again.

If you need grounding today, this is your reminder to pause—just for a moment.

It was a privilege to support couples who are committed to deepening their connection and living more consciously with Clare Carr.

Our Getting the Love You Want workshop created space for insight, honesty, and meaningful growth.

Grateful for the courage and openness brought into the experience! 💙

“I always mess things up.”
“I feel stuck.”
“I’m tired of fighting.”
“I need something new.”

You’re not the only one who’s thought these things.
But you don’t have to stay there.

Reframing your thoughts isn’t about pretending things are okay — it’s about meeting yourself with truth and compassion.

Save this for the days your mind turns against you.
Or send it to someone who needs it.

You still love each other.
But the same conversations keep ending in distance.
You’re trying — but it’s starting to feel like too much.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about deeper patterns that can shift with the right support.
