VERA V. CHAPMAN, Ph.D

Somatic Energy Healing & Coaching – Lewiston, NY & Online

You are being called to do the work of deep healing. I help women heal burnout, grief, and exhaustion through grounded somatic energy work – in person in Lewiston, NY and online.

Reiki, energy coaching, restorative yoga — tailor-made to meet you where you are.

Hey, Love

I have a feeling you didn’t just stumble here by accident. Something led you. Maybe it was exhaustion that no amount of sleep can fix. Maybe it was the quiet knowing that something has to change. Or maybe it was a whisper from your own soul, nudging you toward holistic healing and self-discovery.

Whatever it was, you’re here now. And that means you’re ready—ready to release, ready to reclaim, ready to remember who you are beneath the grief, the burnout, and the weight of the world.

You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s walk this healing journey together.

Healing Offerings

The essence of your well-being lies in the vitality of your energy. When your energy is out of balance, blocked, or leaking, your entire being feels it. And the reverse is true, too. When your energy is flowing freely, protected, and aligned with your purpose, your whole being feels like you’re unstoppable. Through Reiki energy and sound healing, somatic energy coaching, sound healing, and movement practices like yoga or nervous system regulation, we’ll help you return to balance and confidence. In-person sessions are offered through Arden Healing™, my somatic energy healing studio in Lewiston, NY. Select offerings are available virtually.

Healing Resources

In addition to tailored healing sessions in Lewiston, NY, and online, Vera has created several intentional healing resources to offer additional support, including healing affirmation cards for grieving women, Online Reiki 1 training, and the Energy Matters with Vera newsletter/blog. These resources are intended to offer support outside of scheduled sessions and to teach energy maintenance to support overall wellness.

Grief Resources

As part of my personal grief healing journey and supported by deep study into grief theory, positive psychology, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness, I turned pain to purpose by developing high-impact tools and resources for women in grief. These are not just books and affirmation cards. They are gentle guides, showing you the way to healing.

Learn Reiki

Learning Reiki is more than a skill—it’s a homecoming. My low-cost Reiki I training is designed to make energy healing accessible, grounded, and deeply personal. You’ll learn to work with Life Force Energy for your own healing, nervous system support, and emotional clearing—no fancy titles or prerequisites required. And if you feel called to go further, there’s a clear, supported path toward becoming a healer in your own right. This isn’t about mastering another rigid, complicated method. It’s about awakening the healer that’s already within you and building an energy practice that’s authentically you

Healing is a choice only you can make.

And a beautiful balance between being with what hurts and doing the work needed to move the energy through. Let me be your guide.
