Today we’d like to introduce you to Candice Berry
Candice , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey into energy medicine has been a gradual and fulfilling 20-year exploration, a blending of various spiritual traditions and holistic practices. Growing up, I was equally captivated by the lives of Catholic saints and the stories of Greek mythology. I sang in the church choir, served as an altar girl for nine years, and loved collecting river rocks and crystals.
My grandmother took me to my first acupuncture appointment in San Antonio when I was a teenager. In my mid-20s, I tried a combination of acupuncture and energy healing treatments for chronic allergies and the results were amazing. Following the 2020 shutdowns, I discovered Reiki and a single session brought me more relief than any talk therapy ever had. What began as a personal journey of curiosity and self-improvement evolved into a passion for learning more to help others too, particularly friends and family where Western medicine had given up. I felt compelled to study everything about it, and I’ve been on that path ever since.
Today, I am a certified Reiki Master, Soul Midwife, Sound Healer and currently working towards full practitioner certification in Eden Energy Medicine.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The journey to establishing my practice has been a dynamic and rewarding adventure. Along the way, I’ve navigated major life changes, including ending a long-term relationship, moving to a new home, and pivoting from a corporate technology career to holistic healing. Launching my business has brought its own set of challenges but these experiences have led to significant personal growth and a stronger commitment to my practice. I’ve learned that sometimes life needs to shift and realign for new opportunities to emerge. I’m genuinely excited to share this journey with others and support them in their own paths to wellness.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Candescent Energy Medicine officially launched in June 2024, offering a unique blend of holistic practices from my home office. The name ‘Candescent’ was inspired by the meaning of my first name, which I explored years ago. ‘Candescent’ means glowing or dazzling as if from great heat, perfectly capturing the essence of energy medicine work.
My practice focuses on alternative and holistic wellness, specifically the energy medicine modalities of the Eden Method, Angelic Reiki, and sound healing. These gentle yet powerful methods support overall well-being by harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit. Energy medicine is gaining recognition as a complementary therapy in modern healthcare, utilized for conditions such as PTSD, pre- and post-surgery care, and pain management in chemotherapy patients. It represents a harmonious blend of ancient wisdom and modern healing practices, paving the way for a more holistic approach to wellness.
Personalized Sessions
I offer personalized 1-on-1 sessions, both in-person and virtually, designed to promote relaxation, mental clarity, pain relief, and balanced energy.
• The Eden Method: Also known as Eden Energy Medicine, this comprehensive, hands-on approach integrates techniques from ancient traditions like Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and modern energy practices. It addresses imbalances across nine energy systems—such as meridians, chakras, and the aura—to restore physical, mental, and spiritual alignment by activating the body’s innate healing abilities. This method can enhance energy flow, alleviate stress, manage pain, balance hormones, improve immune function, and foster emotional well-being. Tools such as magnets, crystals, and tuning forks may be used to enhance these effects.
• Reiki: This modality channels universal life force energy through minimal physical touch to promote relaxation, ease physical and emotional pain, and support spiritual connection. Building on the foundation of Usui and Shamballa Reiki, Angelic Reiki specifically invokes Angels and Ascended Masters to channel pure energy from the angelic realm. While traditional Reiki focuses on universal life force energy, Angelic Reiki enhances and guides the healing process with divine support. Sessions may also incorporate aromatherapy, crystals, and other supportive tools based on the client’s needs.
Experience and Ongoing Education
With over 500 hours of experiential training and client sessions in energy medicine, I am committed to ongoing education in alternative and holistic wellness. This dedication enriches my practice, allowing me to integrate new insights for a truly personalized healing experience. As I work towards full practitioner certification in the Eden Method, projected for early 2025, I am offering services at a discounted rate.
A Unique Blend of Skills
In addition to my work in energy medicine, my background as a musician (singer & guitarist) and a tenured event marketing manager has honed my ability to create harmony and cohesion. These diverse experiences enrich my holistic approach, blending creativity with strategic thinking to foster a balanced and supportive environment.
Exploring Wellness Together
Whether you’re new to these concepts or familiar with alternative therapies, I invite you to explore with an open mind. I’ve created a welcoming space that respects all beliefs and backgrounds. While I currently operate from my home office, I plan to transition to a dedicated office space in the future. Stay tuned for upcoming group events and programs, and discover how my services can support your journey to well-being.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
For me, cultivating genuine connections and authenticity in all interactions is paramount. I am very close to my family and cherish a small circle of friends who are like family. Integrity is central to my work, ensuring it is grounded in honesty and consistency. I prioritize client-centered care, focusing on understanding and addressing each client’s unique needs. I believe in creating a supportive and collaborative environment that respects diverse beliefs and backgrounds, fostering a strong sense of community. These values guide my approach to holistic wellness and how I connect with and support those I work with.
