Energy Healing in Western Massachusetts

Hands-on Inner LightFire Sessions with Jon Terrell, M.A.
I offer in-person energy healing sessions in Sunderland, Massachusetts, in the Pioneer Valley just north of Northampton and Amherst. People come to me for many reasons:
- Relief from physical and emotional pain
- Release from anxiety, fear, and tension
- Mental clarity, centering, and insight
- Peace in a stressful world
- A deeper experience of Presence and being alive in your body
What Happens in an Energy Healing Session
When Inner LightFire focuses on the body, it reveals exactly where our energy is restricted or blocked. As we focus Light on a blockage, it intensifies into Inner Fire and clears it. In simple terms, the Light shows us where to work, and the Fire does the clearing.
Our energy healing in western Massachusetts is a unique . In a session, you rest comfortably on a massage table while I work hands-on to balance your chakras and release stuck energy. You aren’t just lying there while I “fix” you. I guide you in simple meditations so that we work together, and that partnership is what makes these sessions so effective.
Many people feel lighter, more relaxed, and more present afterward. Some experience emotional release. Sometimes grief, fear, or old pain held in the body comes up to be let go. I check in with you throughout, and we go at your pace. (I keep a tissue box nearby.)
Your First Session: Life Energy Assessment and Clearing
For your first energy healing visit with me, I recommend a Life Energy Assessment and Consciousness Clearing session, which takes about an hour and a half. In this session:
- I evaluate your chakras, body, and energy field and tell you what I see: where energy is stuck and what can help free it.
- You learn a simple Inner LightFire meditation that connects you with the source of healing Light within yourself, to cleanse, protect, and vitalize your body and mind.
- You receive hands-on energy healing to balance your chakras and clear blocked energy, supported by the LightFire. You work from the inside out, while I work from the outside in.
You take the meditation home with you. That's why clients tell me the effects last longer than massage or other energy work.
I recommend a series of six sessions, with additional focus on healing and awakening your chakras, body, and energy field. This session can be the first in the series I describe here.
How Is This Different from Reiki and Other Energy Healing?
Reiki and many other methods channel energy to you. In Inner LightFire energy healing, you also learn to work with the LightFire from within yourself, step by step. Three things set it apart:
- Specific healing energies. We use different Light energies for different purposes. Some calm and repair; others energize and awaken.
- You become an active partner. The meditations you learn keep working long after the session ends.
- A proven path. This work comes from more than 50 years of practice, rooted in ancient traditions, and has helped thousands of people heal and awaken.
About Jon Terrell, M.A.
My journey began in 1970 with an energy healing session with Russell Paul Schofield and Carol Ann Schofield, founders of the School of Actualism (now Actual Design). It was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. (Read the story here.) Within a few years, I directed the first wellness center in the US that combined acupuncture, meditation, medical care, and nutrition counseling.
I directed the school’s energy healing program for 14 years, training practitioners in these valuable skills and techniques.
Since then, I’ve given more than 10,000 sessions. I’ve also studied with healers worldwide, including psychic healers in the Philippines, John Thie (Touch for Health), and John Upledger (CranioSacral Therapy).
Clients tell me I’m down-to-earth and easy to be with, which matters when you're doing deep work. I've also completed schooling and an internship as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor. More about me.

What Clients Say
“Thank you so much for our session the other day. I have felt quite different since—certainly more spring in my step, calmer and freer from the need to obsess over my past failings, less afraid overall, more contained and able to feel ‘me’... more protected, I guess... more resilient. Before, everything around me seemed to feed my fear. I needed something quite desperately, and am truly grateful to have found you.”
— Tanya M., Florence, MA
"I have to thank you again for the healing work that you did on Friday. I don't remember ever feeling so alive, connected to my body, and present. You have an amazing, beautiful, and miraculous gift!
I also want to share that I've become so much more aware of the energy in my body since our session. Even as I write this email, my feet feel energetically grounded to the floor beneath me. I've also started to notice that when I hear, read, or speak words of truth, the energy in my body feels more vibrant."
With (a newfound sense of) love,
— Jana D
