In our interview with Mary Ann Stancel for MysticMag, we explore her holistic approach to healing, which seamlessly integrates energy healing, sound therapy, and breathwork.
Mary Ann emphasizes the importance of tailoring her methods to the unique needs of each client, intuitively guiding the session based on the energies present. With a background in nursing, her transition into intuitive energy practices was a natural evolution, driven by a lifelong attunement to the world of energy.
Her 1:1 Soul Healing Sessions focus on deep listening and providing a supportive space for clients to achieve their own healing and transformation.
Can you describe the integration of various healing modalities like energy healing, sound therapy, and breathwork in your practice?
I utilize different types of modalities in my work. It just depends on what the client needs and what would be most suitable to provide the support.
I intuitively lean into the energies of the session and allow for what needs to be utilized and expressed to occur.

What inspired you to combine your nursing background with intuitive energy practices?
It was a natural process. There wasn’t one thing that pushed me to do it. I’ve always been attuned to the world of energy and beyond. So as time passed, and I was seeking more in life and a different way to support people’s healing it all came into being.
How do you tailor your 1:1 Soul Healing Sessions to meet the individual needs of your clients?
I really listen to my client’s needs. I’m the space holder to help them to provide themselves with the healing. So when the client mentions a focus area, we dive deeper into that. And as the session progresses, I will offer suggestions on other topics to focus on as well.
Can you explain the significance of energy alignment in personal transformation and healing?
Energy alignment is when the energy within a person is fluid and is in harmony with the mind, body, and soul. Everyone has energy flowing in them. And our emotions are actually energy. The emotions we feel turn into chemicals that the body interprets and then processes and then we feel it.
Why Energy Alignment Matters:
- Physical Health: Our physical bodies respond to the flow of energy. When energy is blocked or misaligned, it can manifest as physical symptoms or illnesses. By aligning your energy, you can improve your body’s natural healing processes, reduce pain, and enhance overall health.
- Emotional Well-being: Emotions are forms of energy that can become trapped within the body, leading to feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression. Energy alignment helps release these trapped emotions, allowing you to process and let go of negative feelings, leading to a more balanced emotional state.
- Mental Clarity: Misaligned energy can cause mental fog, confusion, and difficulty making decisions. Aligning your energy can clear your mind, increase focus, and enhance your ability to think clearly and creatively.
- Spiritual Growth: Energy alignment is a key component of spiritual development. It helps you connect with your higher self, gain deeper insights into your life purpose, and experience a sense of unity with the universe.
How Energy Alignment Facilitates Personal Transformation:
- Releasing Limiting Beliefs: Energy alignment helps identify and release deep-seated limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from achieving your goals and living your best life. This process allows you to reprogram your mind for success and abundance.
- Empowerment and Self-Discovery: As you align your energy, you become more attuned to your true self and your inner wisdom. This self-awareness empowers you to make choices that are in alignment with your authentic desires and values, leading to personal growth and fulfillment.
- Manifestation of Desires: When your energy is aligned, you resonate at a higher frequency that attracts positive experiences and opportunities into your life. This alignment allows you to manifest your desires more effortlessly, as you are in sync with the natural flow of the universe.
- Healing Past Traumas: Energy alignment helps heal past traumas by addressing the energetic imprints they leave behind. By releasing these energetic blockages, you can move forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind
What are some common misconceptions about energy healing that you encounter, and how do you address them?
Common misconceptions:
That it is a voodoo practice:
Many people come being skeptical but then leave with an expanded mind. Most people are used to living in the analytical space, so at times it can be hard to understand it. But really energy healing isn’t complicated. There are many people who have received many benefits from this type of service, such as peace, calmness, pain relief, clarity, and more.
That reiki is the only type of energy healing:
There are many forms of energy healing. I see energy healing as a big umbrella and the spokes of the umbrella represent the different types of healing modalities like reiki, massage, breathwork, sound healing, somatic work, movement, meditation, and more.
It’s not backed by science:
These days there is more and more evidence on how energy healing has truly supported an individual’s overall well-being. Many studies have been made about how it affects someone’s body system and brain. More and more studies are coming out about the benefits of this type of holistic healing.
Only spiritual people can receive benefits:
Anyone can receive the benefits of healing. It is open to all and you don’t have to be spiritual to receive the healing.
Results should be instant:
Like with everything, some may feel some relief right away but to have long-lasting results doing it more than once is recommended. Over time it can help to relieve any stress and by relieving stress, it allows for a stronger immune system, a better mental state of being, and more.
Only healers can perform healings:
Everyone is a healer. You don’t need to be a healer to heal yourself. Everyone can learn simple ways to move energy and heal their bodies. It is profound what people can do when they believe in it. Many people have cured themselves of cancer, illness, low energy, and depression.
It is all about positive thinking:
Actually, it isn’t. Those that are talking like this are missing the point. We all have trigger points and it is about expressing it, embodying it, allowing for the energy to move within your body and not suppressing it in. Energy healing encompasses all parts of us.
