Meet Meredith Woods
I believe that life can improve significantly, with greater stability and expanded possibilities. Clarity of mind and peace within the body are attainable.
Self-healing is within everyone’s grasp, and the journey — when embraced wholeheartedly — becomes the most potent vehicle for accessing freedom. We can all do this; we are all equipped to find our own way.
As Rainer Maria Rilke writes: “… the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Influences and Motivations
My life has been shaped by a diverse range of learning experiences and professional roles. Degrees include a Bachelor of Arts in Bioethics, combining Biology and Philosophy, a Master of Acupuncture and Master of Business Administration. I have certifications in project management and various energetic and holistic healing modalities, and a real estate broker license.
A good portion of my career was spent in clinical and academic research management, while working intermittently as an acupuncturist. While seemingly disparate, these experiences – including the many remarkable people I have interacted with along the way – have all helped form my perspective on healing and personal evolution through energy work.
While I appreciate and value hard science and the tangible, I have chosen to work in the realm of ’empty space’ to effect change for myself and to support others.
I love to learn, and where I can, to understand. I am equally inspired to see others have their own palpable moments of illumination. Energy work allows me to participate in this, and to make a contribution, as clients gain awareness of who they really are and choose to release all that they are not.
The essence and excitement of energy work practice, for me, lies in the act of becoming — guiding one’s own potential to open and create new possibilities.
As Michael Singer shares in The Untethered Soul:
“The fact is, you already know how to find yourself; you have just gotten distracted and disoriented. Once refocused, you will realize that you not only have the ability to find yourself, you have the ability to free yourself. Whether you choose to do so or not is entirely up to you.”
“And should you choose to devote yourself to the ongoing journey of self-realization, you will develop a tremendous sense of respect for who you really are. It is only then that you will come to appreciate the full depth in the meaning of the advice: ‘This above all: to thine own self be true.’”
A glance at my website and the quotes I use will reveal my love for words and the energy, power, and inspiration that come from stringing them together seamlessly and artfully. Word choice, emotional and thought awareness, intention, and self-examination via the energy body are all fundamental aspects of the work I do with clients.

I was born and partly raised in the vibrant landscapes of the Caribbean, specifically in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My early years were filled with the warmth and rhythm of island life, which later transitioned to the bustling energy of the East Coast when part of my family moved to Manhattan. Currently, I reside in Eugene, Oregon, where the natural beauty and tranquility provide an ideal backdrop for my work and personal practice.
I received my energy healing practitioner certification from the Energy Healing Institute (EHI), where I had the privilege of learning from Jill Leigh and Ellen Donaldson. The certification process included multiple hours of documented and reviewed client sessions, ensuring a high standard of practice. My advanced energy practitioner and self-healing studies with EHI are ongoing, reflecting my commitment to continuous learning and growth.
