what is intuitive healing?

Intuitive healing is a holistic approach to wellness that uses intuition, energy awareness, and inner wisdom to identify and release energetic, physical, or emotional blockages.

This goes deeper than talking about it, we go down the rabbit hole

You might already be self aware. You might have tried therapy, journaling, or other forms of healing.

And still, something isn’t shifting.

And still feel as if your life is a dumpster fire of a mess?

That’s because not everything lives in your thoughts.

A lot of what you’re carrying is stored in your body and your subconscious. It shows up as tension, emotional reactions, repeating patterns, or a constant sense of being on edge.

Energy healing helps you access deeper layers aka releasing the deep shit. It’s the type of shit we aren’t able to access ourselves so you can actually have breakthroughs. You’ll not just have a better understanding of those layers but you’ll have more of an understanding of how everything you have been molded to the person you have become. The emotions, the mindset, having your guard up and then you get to make the choice, either stay this way or become a better version of who you are now.

What is the subconscious?

Sigmund Freud’s iceberg theory is a way of understanding how the human mind works. It suggests that only a small part of our thoughts and awareness, about 10 percent, is visible at the surface. The much larger portion, about 90 percent, exists below the surface in the subconscious.

This hidden part of the mind includes deep emotions, past experiences, and automatic responses. According to the theory, these unseen factors play a major role in shaping our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors, even if we are not fully aware of them.

If this feels familiar, you’re in the right place

  • You feel stuck in patterns you can’t break.

  • You carry tension, stress, or anxiety in your body.

  • You’ve done “the work” but you feel like your life is still a dumpster fire of a mess.

  • You feel disconnected from yourself or your intuition.

  • You notice the same issues showing up in relationships, work, or daily life.

  • You want real change, not surface-level bullshit.

Here’s what working together looks like

Step 1:

Start with a Consultation

You’ll begin with a consultation where you talk through what’s going on, what you’ve tried, and what you’re ready to shift. You’ll also experience a short portion of energy healing the work so you can feel if it’s a right fit.

Step 2:

Go deeper into the work replace with go down that rabbit hole

Sessions are designed to help you access what’s stored beneath the surface. Through guided meditation, intuitive insight, and body work techniques, you’ll begin to feel what’s been held in your body.

Step 3:

Release what’s been held, replace with  Let that shit go

As those layers come up, you’ll be guided through processing and releasing. This can look like emotional release (cough, laugh, cry, or word vomit where you purge the negative thoughts that run rampant in your mind or past timelines of trauma), physical shifts (your body can shake and wiggle), or a deeper understanding of what’s been driving your patterns.

Step 4:

Move forward differently

As you release the deep shit, you’ll feel more grounded as in living in the present, more clarity and more control of how you respond and navigate through life.

Break Free from the Chains of Trauma and Fear

Are you stuck in addictive behaviors, consumed by fear, or trapped in the relentless cycle of PTSD and flashbacks? Does mental illness cloud your thoughts, making it hard to trust anyone or anything? At Cathartic Catalyst, we understand the limited way of existing these challenges impose.

Instead, imagine a life where you're aware of the roots of your emotions and trauma—your demons, defense mechanisms, and generational patterns. No longer feeling dumb or crazy, you'll get answers about what's yours, what's spiritual distress, and more comprehensive insights than traditional doctors or therapy can provide.

Ready to transform your life? Let's embark on this journey together.

This work meets you where you are

Whether you prefer to be in person or in your own space, this work is available both ways. Remote sessions are designed to be just as effective, using guided techniques and intuitive work to support your body and nervous system wherever you are. This allows you to go deep without needing to leave your environment.

What you may start to notice

As you move through this work, you may begin to feel:

  • More grounded and present in your body

  • Less reactive and more in control of your emotions

  • Physically lighter and more relaxed

  • More connected to yourself and your intuition

  • Able to move forward without the same patterns holding you back

If you’re ready to do the damn thang

You don’t need to keep carrying this on your own. Start with a consultation and see what’s possible for you.

Testimonials

  • Laney Marie is an amazing soul and extremely gifted facilitator. She works from her heart and brings passion into everything that she does! She has an incredible capacity to see struggle and transform it into light!

    — Don Massat, Director of The Sacred Journey Institute

  • When Elena was a student in massage school, she initially lacked confidence. After working with the Chicago Marathon medical team, she quickly gained competence and confidence. Five years later, due to her experience and confidence, she was entrusted with leading the massage team at the 2014 Chicago Marathon. Her growth and ability to mentor new therapists earned her great respect and trust.

    — Mike H.LMT, BS

  • I've been seeing Laney for over seven years and have witnessed her incredible evolution. Initially an amazing massage therapist with exceptional knowledge of human physiology, Laney's intuitive touch always found the exact spots needing attention. Over time, she incorporated new techniques like deep tissue, craniosacral therapy, and Reiki, creating a unique blend of treatments. Laney further expanded into breathwork, past life regression, and ancestral traditions, guiding me through profound, transformative sessions. Her dedication to holistic healing is unparalleled, making her a true healer. Highly recommended for anyone seeking deep, meaningful healing.

    — Brian V.

  • Laney is a truly gifted massage therapist. I've been a happy client for years, consistently receiving massages that release fascia and relieve pain, leaving me relaxed and nurtured. Each session is uniquely wonderful, providing both health benefits and luxurious self-care. I highly recommend her services.

    — Cassidy R.

  • Spirit guided me to Laney at the exact right time in my life. I did a 5hr. session that included Craniosacral Therapy, Ancestral Healing, and three levels of massage. Before the session I had a lot of negative thoughts and anxieties around self doubt that at times caused me to not be present in my life because I was in my head instead of my body. After the session I noticed a shift in my inner dialogue and a lot of the doubt and anxiety was replaced by positive thinking that put my mind and body more at ease and increased by ability to stay present.

    — Johnathan N.

  • I had never received craniosacral treatment before today, and Laney provided me with an absolutely incredible experience. She helped me become ore in-tune with certain areas of my body, specifically my left hip and leg in which I apparently hold a lot of tension and stress. She is professional, poised, patient and perfectly suited for this type of bodywork. 5 stars!
    — Ulamaguta A.

  • I had never experienced a remote healing session or craniosacral work before I met Laney.  Her professionalism exceeds that of most individuals, and this is demonstrated in the conversations that always occur before a session begins.  She always asks how I am doing and what is happening in my life that needs some focus and energetic attention.  This aspect of awareness in particular is fascinating to me and seems to make all the difference for the success of the sessions.  I highly recommend Laney for body and energy work!

    — Shauna B.

  • Laney's remote ancestral clearing technique is transformative. After discussing my family history of alcoholism and emotional distance, she performed a session that disentangled energy blocks and healed my heart chakra. Months later, I feel more connected to myself and have a better relationship with my father. Her gentle, precise energy work has led to profound, lasting changes. I highly recommend her services.

    —Meg S.

  • As a first-time client, I was unsure what to expect and skeptical about the effectiveness of distance healing. During the session, I felt calm and relaxed, with sensations of pressure and cold as energy was released. Afterward, I felt lighter, calm, curious, and clear-minded. This experience proved that distance healing and energy work can be genuinely felt. Elena made me feel comfortable and tuned into my needs with great knowledge and talent. Thank you for this great experience!
    — Veronica S.

  • I have had the pleasure of receiving several healing sessions from Laney. The combination of craniosacral therapy combined with Reiki was absolutely wonderful, helping my physical body to unwind, my mind to calm down and the energy to flow more freely throughout my being. I would highly recommend her services for anyone experiencing a life transition, working through old issues or anyone who is feeling run-down and needs some help getting back to their best self.

    — Kelsey B.

  • The most profound takeaway for me has been realizing that, with a bit of guidance and conscious energy, I can do significant work without leaving my house. I spent a while in therapy, which was effective but lacked tangible spirituality and its application in daily life. This work is thorough, body-centered, and addresses the root causes of repetitive cycles and traumas. The ancestral healing session taps into familiar and comforting energies from my past lives and bloodline ancestors.
    — Ulamaguta A.

  • I have had a few massages from Elena that were AMAZING, but Elena's cransiosacral sessions are where it's at. I don't know how to put into words the effect that they had on my healing journey. Elena creates a safe space to address things from your past that no longer serve you. She gets right in there with you and makes you feel seen. I would not be as far along in my healing if it weren't for her. I HIGHLY recommend her.

    — Erin H.

  • I've had awesome craniosacral and energy work with Laney. She really knows her stuff and puts her full attention and light into her work. I always leave the sessions feeling cleared of stagnation, doubt and physical/energetic heaviness. I highly recommend a session with her.

    — Kelsey B.

  • I felt okay before the session with Elena but as a first-time client I knew working with her Elena would be beneficial. The Consulta provided clarity on challenges I was facing, with Elena focusing on things I had overlooked. During the session, I felt relaxed and connected, with colors and occasional visitations from my guides. Afterward, I felt physically relaxed, spiritually connected, and emotionally balanced. Elena is exceptional at what she does and sees past the walls and blockages people place around themselves, guiding them through necessary releases. I highly recommend her for anyone dealing with energy blockages.

    — Brenda H.

  • I was nervous before meeting with Elena, but the Consulta provided clarity on relevant challenges I was facing. Elena's energy work made me feel very comfortable and brought a general feeling of peace. The intuitive reading offered insights that helped clarify my emotions and gave me ideas for the next steps to move through my pain. Elena's natural and authentic expression during the readings was truly gifted. Thank you for your work!

    — Melissa G.

  • As a new client, I felt mostly calm but a bit nervous. During the session, I felt really relaxed, with tingles over the areas Elena was working on. It felt like a nurturing meditation. Afterward, I was more active and my ADHD symptoms subsided, giving me the confidence to work on long-term goals. Since the Consulta, I've become more self-aware and have significantly reduced my skin picking by catching myself and finding healthier distractions. Elena's direct, no-nonsense approach is refreshing and rare in the healing community. Thank you, Elena, for this incredible experience!
