Amelia Vogler is one of the few practitioners in the world specializing in energy medicine for surgery—a powerful modality that supports healing before, during, and after medical procedures.
We’re honored to share this conversation with Amelia, a grounding and energy healing specialist whose decades of experience blend medical intuition, trauma work, and spiritual coaching. Her unique training in surgical energy medicine offers a profound lens on what it means to support the body, mind, and soul—especially during life-altering moments like surgery.
In this interview, she shares her approach to holding the spirit in safekeeping, preparing energetically for surgical outcomes, and guiding clients back home to themselves.
CC: You’re one of the few trained in Energy Medicine for Surgery. What first called you to this very specialized healing path?
Amelia: Thank you so much for this thoughtful question. I’ve always found it fascinating how the rivers of our lives converge, gently guiding us toward our destined path. In my case, four distinct rivers flowed together to lead me to this sacred work in surgical support through energy medicine.
The first was the river of incarnate design. I was born with energetic sensitivities and a deep curiosity about science and medicine—an alchemy that inclined me toward a more clinical, therapeutic application of energy. As a child, I could sense energy in many ways—seeing it, hearing it, tasting it, and simply knowing things beyond explanation. Though I didn’t understand these gifts growing up, I would eventually leave a career in engineering to open a global healing practice. I’ve spent the last 18 years expanding and refining those early sensitivities in service of others.
Energy is the first layer of our being. It shapes everything—emotionally, physically, spiritually.
The second river is deeply personal. Someone close to me suffers from body dysmorphia and has pursued multiple surgeries to “correct” perceived flaws. I’ve supported them energetically through many of these procedures over the past 15 years. That experience shaped my understanding of the profound emotional and energetic layers surrounding surgery.
The third river was my formal training. My beloved first mentor was a nurse whose 40-year career included surgical, oncology, and labor-and-delivery nursing. Her clinical wisdom taught me how to listen to tissues, read energy in the body, and work with medications and past-life imprints in illness. She also encouraged me to complete the Healing Touch Program, where I later became a certified instructor and the Executive Director of the professional association.
Fear before surgery isn’t just psychological. It lives in the body—and can be lovingly released.
The fourth river was a class taught by Janna Moll (who has since transitioned into Spirit). I was blessed to be in one of her final classes on surgical energy medicine, where I learned how to support a patient in the Operating Room, including how to read monitors and navigate the spiritual challenges of anesthesia and death. Her teachings live on in my practice today.
Today, I’m honored to support individuals preparing for surgery by bringing energy medicine for surgery into clinical and spiritual alignment.
CC: In your work, grounding isn’t just a wellness buzzword—it’s essential. How do you define grounding, and why is it so critical before and after surgery?
Amelia: Thank you—this is such an important question. Grounding is indeed foundational in all of my work, not just surgical support.
My definition of grounding extends beyond Earthing (placing bare feet on the earth). While that practice is beautiful and supportive, I work with a more multidimensional understanding—through what I call the Hara Line. This central vertical channel links your Soul to your Spirit, the Universal field, and the heart of Mother Earth. Through this axis, you connect to your Higher Self, God (however you define that), and Earth’s nurturing energies. This is one of the foundational elements of my work in energy medicine for surgery.
The body speaks. Through breath, sensation, and subtle shifts, it tells me where healing is needed.
Surgery requires a profound connection to your Higher Self for discernment—choosing the right procedure, the right surgeon, the right timing. This inner wisdom also supports you in defining your intention for the surgery and anchoring in the highest possible outcome. Grounding to the Earth helps stabilize your vital force and enhances your healing capacity.
Through this multidimensional grounding, you gain access to an incredible library of support—before, during, and after your procedure.
CC: You’ve described “holding someone’s spirit in safe keeping” during surgery. Can you explain what this means energetically and how you do it?
Before surgery, my client and I prepare together through a specific protocol that establishes communication between their Spirit and mine. This opens a subtle line of connection so I can sense and speak with their Spirit throughout the procedure.
You don’t need to understand energy medicine for it to work. You just need to be open.
During surgery, I remain attuned to what’s happening in their body while also staying in communication with their Spirit. I support the integration of body, mind, and spirit—guiding subtle shifts such as calming blood pressure, easing pain, or even helping tissues release tension.
I recall one surgery in particular: a man undergoing a knee procedure had a medical crisis and I sensed his Spirit beginning to lift. I met him energetically and asked, “Are you sure you want to leave?” After a brief pause, his Spirit chose to return. That single moment of clarity helped him recommit to life. These moments are sacred and profound.
CC: What role does fear play in the energy field leading up to surgery, and how do you help patients move through that fear in a trauma-informed way?
Amelia: Fear is natural. Our brains are wired to scan for threats—and surgery invites a full-body scan: the medications, the anesthesia, the unknown outcomes.
What matters most is your relationship to that fear. Do you let it run wild? Or do you meet it with resourcing and support? My work ensures that clients have tools to stay grounded and centered in the face of uncertainty.
We use visualization, somatic techniques, and intuitive energy work to bring fears into awareness and compassion. I begin by helping clients connect with what they already know: their strengths, resilience, and sources of support.
I often frame surgery as a modern-day vision quest—a sacred, altered-state journey with real physical transformation. When clients view their surgery in this way, they are better able to move through fear and open to the mystery, which creates space for healing, trust, and grace.
CC: Many people don’t realize how much trauma—both known and hidden—can affect recovery. How does your work help bring these pieces into awareness for healing?
Amelia: From preparation through recovery, I am always listening for trauma—those moments that were too much, too fast, or too soon. Trauma often hides in subtle patterns: repeated phrases, anxious energy, or stuck loops in the field.
Because the body heals best when its energy flows freely, part of my role is to gently identify and release these blocks. Sometimes hands-on energy techniques are enough; other times we work with beliefs and emotional memory using somatic or intuitive healing.
Grounding isn’t just spiritual—it’s physiological. It’s how we come home to ourselves.
We always proceed slowly, building safety and trust. Restoring agency and sovereignty is key. These inner alignments release hidden energetic resources—activating your body’s natural capacity to heal. Fear disrupts the body’s energy system—and part of the promise of energy medicine for surgery is restoring balance where fear has taken hold.
CC: You talk about aligning intention with surgical outcomes. Can intention really influence how the body heals? What does that process look like?
Amelia: Absolutely. There’s powerful research showing how visualization—one form of intention—can impact surgical outcomes. But it’s more than that.
We live in a quantum field of possibility. Intention allows us to shape that field—casting a vote for what wants to emerge. In my practice, we get incredibly specific with intention, going beyond the physical to explore soul-level and even ancestral healing layers.
For example, I once supported a woman through a knee surgery that echoed a pattern of powerlessness in her maternal lineage. Her surgery became an initiation—allowing her to reclaim the ability to “walk her own path.”
We also explore intentions around organ removal, ensuring clients stay connected to the energetic aspect of their body—keeping the sense of wholeness intact. This work brings profound clarity and empowerment into the healing process.
CC: What have you observed when supporting patients as they emerge from anesthesia? How can energy work help the body recalibrate in those delicate moments?
Amelia: I love working with anesthesia. It fascinates me—the paradox of deep unconsciousness paired with energetic availability.
As my clients come out of anesthesia, I stay connected to their Spirit and begin gently grounding them—often by holding their feet. I speak their name, tell them what day it is, remind them they are hungry and thirsty—simple cues that activate their parasympathetic nervous system and help them regulate.
My work is to bring people back to wholeness, to help them remember who they truly are.
Energetically, I also re-anchor their Hara Line—restoring the vertical axis that links them to Earth, Spirit, and Self. This “re-homing” helps them feel like themselves again. Clients often tell me they feel “back home” after our post-surgical support.
CC: For those feeling depleted or scattered after surgery, what simple practices can help them reconnect to their own healing power?
Amelia: Start with your breath. It’s been with you since your first moment of life. Breathing mindfully reconnects you to your own history of resilience and self-love.
Touch is also powerful. Pat your legs, hug your body, or gently wiggle your toes—these small actions help your brain remember your body. Gentle movement, within your medical guidelines, can also support reconnection.
And never underestimate the power of your imagination. Visualize your body rooted into the Earth like a tree, or imagine a silvery cord flowing from your spine into the heart of the planet. Invite your scattered parts to return—using imagery like a magnet or lasso. Let the experience unfold slowly. Healing is not just a mental act—it’s a felt, embodied one.
CC: You’ve said that surgery can create spiritual fragmentation. How does your work support people in bringing their soul and body back into alignment?
Yes—and to be clear, it doesn’t always happen. But when it does, it’s often in situations where surgery came suddenly, like after an accident.
Soul fragmentation is a trauma pattern. I use the Hara system—a channel of energy that organizes our incarnational blueprint—to support the return of the Soul to the body. The Hara holds the memory of wholeness. Its vibration is attuned to unity and the undivided field of being.
When someone feels incomplete, their soul and body are out of alignment.
By activating this current and working with imaginal resources or personal symbolism, we invite the body to choose to come home to itself. This subtle reweaving can restore profound connection, dignity, and vitality.
CC: For those who feel skeptical about energy medicine, what do you most want them to understand about the role energy plays in healing?
Amelia: Skepticism is natural, and I would never push someone beyond their beliefs. That said, I’d encourage anyone curious to look at how energy is already central in modern medicine: EKGs measure the heart’s electrical field; EEGs map brainwaves; ultrasounds and lasers are forms of energetic therapy.
Energy medicine, as I practice it, is simply a continuation of this—it’s the newest expression of ancient wisdom. And for those open to it, it becomes a beautiful and effective companion on the path of healing
