About Atherton
Atherton Drenth is a clairvoyant, energy intuitive, and the author of Intuitive Dance: Building, Protecting & Clearing Your Energy (Llewellyn Worldwide), Following Body Wisdom, and The Art of Intuitive Journaling. She is also a contributing author to the Amazon bestseller 365 Moments of Grace. With over 25 years in private practice, she has conducted more than 45,000 healing sessions for clients worldwide.
Atherton’s journey into energy medicine took an unconventional path. Raised by parents with eclectic views, she was encouraged to think independently and explore her interests. As a teenager, she became fascinated by spirituality and studied meditation, metaphysics, and Eastern philosophies under her mother, a student of Theosophy.
She initially pursued a career in science as a Medical Technologist, working in hospitals and private laboratories for a decade before transitioning into corporate management. However, a near-death experience following a medical misdiagnosis changed everything. A healer who saved her life recognized her intuitive abilities and urged her to train in energy medicine.
Immersing herself in this field, Atherton realized her natural clairvoyance could help others on their healing journeys. Her background in science, combined with her lifelong interest in spirituality, gave her a unique, well-rounded approach to energy healing.
Atherton is a certified Medical Intuitive and Holistic Energy Practitioner and the founder of the Paradigm Centre for Wellness, an integrative healthcare center. She has been featured on numerous radio shows, contributes regularly to the Paradigm Pages Newsletter, and appears in the documentary Voyage to Betterment alongside internationally recognized experts in consciousness research and spirituality.
About Energy Work
Everything is made of energy. For thousands of years, shamans and healers have understood how energy flows through the body and how it impacts physical and emotional well-being. This energy has been called many names, including prana, life force, chi, chakras, and aura.Healers knew intuitively that when this energy became blocked or stagnant, it could lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalance—resulting in dis-ease. By clearing these blockages using various techniques, they helped restore the body’s natural balance, promoting healing. Today, we call this Energy Work.
Energy work practitioners—often referred to as healers, shamans, energy medicine practitioners, or energy workers—use different techniques to identify and clear energy blockages. This process, known as balancing, allows energy to flow freely again, supporting the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Energy work is non-invasive and addresses the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. During a session, clients remain fully clothed while lying on a massage table. The practitioner gently places their hands on or near the body to help facilitate energy flow.
To help you understand what energy work is (and isn’t), I wrote Following Body Wisdom: How Energy Work Can Help Heal (2009). This book explains energy work principles, what to expect in a session, and how clients have experienced profound transformations. It’s available on my website, Amazon, and Indigo.
One client once told me:
“I don’t know what you do, and I don’t care because it’s helping. I feel better. I don’t need a scientist to tell me what works for me.”
Energy work does not replace traditional medicine, nor is it a cure-all. However, it is a valuable complementary practice that can assist in helping you on your journey to health and well-being.
