What Is The Emotion Code?
The Emotion Code® is an energy healing method created by Dr. Bradley Nelson (D.C., ret.), a holistic chiropractor who discovered that many of his patients’ physical discomforts were not purely physical — but rooted in unprocessed emotional energy.
During times of stress, heartache, loss, fear, or emotional overwhelm, the body can hold onto the energetic vibration of those emotions. Dr. Nelson called these imprints “Trapped Emotions.”
These trapped emotions can linger in the energy field for years, subtly affecting your mood, relationships, health, self-worth, and even the way you experience the world.
The Emotion Code was developed to help people gently release these trapped emotional energies, so the mind and body can return to balance, harmony, and ease.
What Can Trapped Emotions Affect?
According to Dr. Nelson’s work, trapped emotional energy can create a wide range of physical and emotional effects, including:
Ongoing emotional heaviness or mood swings
Patterns of anxiety, sadness, anger, or fear
Difficulty giving or receiving love
Relationship challenges or repeating negative cycles
Feeling “blocked,” numb, or disconnected from yourself
Chronic tension, discomfort, or unexplained physical symptoms
A tendency toward self-sabotage or holding yourself back
Feeling like you’re always on the outside looking in
Struggling to heal from heartbreak, grief, or past trauma
Many people describe it as carrying “emotional baggage” — even if they can’t quite pinpoint where it came from.
Because emotions are energy, they influence everything in the body: the nervous system, the heart space, the mind, and the energetic field surrounding you.
The Emotion Code is designed to help clear these emotional imprints gently and effectively, without needing to revisit the original story or trauma.
How The Emotion Code Helps
Releasing trapped emotions helps restore energetic flow and emotional balance in the body.
When the emotional load lightens, clients often experience:
A greater sense of peace and clarity
Relief from emotional heaviness or overwhelm
Improved self-worth and confidence
Healthier boundaries and relationship patterns
Increased emotional resilience
A deeper connection to themselves and their intuition
The Emotion Code works because the mind and body are not separate — they are interconnected, constantly communicating. When emotional energy becomes stuck, it can disrupt this natural communication flow.
By releasing old emotional imprints, the body can begin to rebalance itself and create space for deeper healing and transformation.
How a Session Works
Emotion Code sessions are gentle, intuitive, and non-invasive.
I use my pendulum or muscle testing (a form of biofeedback) to access the subconscious mind — where all memories, emotions, and energetic patterns are stored.
During a session:
I ask simple yes/no questions to identify trapped emotions your body is ready to release.
Through the use of muscle testing on myself or using my pendulum it will reveal what is stored beneath the surface.
Once identified, we release each trapped emotion using energetic intention, principles rooted in ancient Chinese medicine and magnetic energy.
Your system then integrates the release, often creating emotional or physical shifts in the days that follow.
Sessions can be done remotely, and they are just as effective long-distance because energy is not limited by location.
Emotion Code is safe for all ages
Children respond beautifully to Emotion Code and often even faster than adults.
Because they have fewer layers of emotional buildup, their systems release and recalibrate with ease.
This makes Emotion Code a powerful tool for supporting children through:
Anxiety or overwhelm
Sleep disturbances
School stress
Emotional sensitivity
Big life transitions
It’s a gentle, supportive way to help little ones move through the world feeling safer, calmer, and more grounded.
