Let me tell you a little story:

A few years ago, my husband and I hit a major wall — not just in our business, but in our relationship too. It felt like we were quickly losing the ground we'd spent years working so hard to gain. Financial setbacks were piling up, and the strain on our relationship was undeniable. Eventually, we realized that if we wanted to weather the storm, we were going to have to swallow our pride and get some help.

No amount of positive thinking could stop the growing conflict between us. So we reached out to a friend who was a marriage therapist and asked for his help. I was angry with my husband for some things; he was angry with me for others, and it was taking a toll on our family, our business, our emotional well-being, and even our physical health.

In our first session, we were able to get some of the issues out into the open, and we were given a strategy to start fixing the problem. We could see that if we were serious about changing, it would require long-term focus and commitment. We were ready to walk the hard road if it meant saving our marriage.

Then, just a few days later, Carolyn Cooper and her husband came to town on business. I'd heard amazing things about her work from some of my students, so I was excited that she and her husband agreed to meet us for lunch. I was curious because she seemed to apply the same principles I already believed in — but she helped people move forward with incredible speed.

After a great lunch, we invited them to our home. Carolyn shared stories about her work, explained how it worked, and even demonstrated it for us. She showed us how emotional traumas — both from childhood and adulthood — get tucked away and quietly block our success. She showed us how those blocks could be removed quickly and painlessly — without even having to rehash or relive the painful experiences.

Carolyn and I shared similar backgrounds, so it was refreshing to learn about her method (formerly called "Calyco," now called "SimplyHealed®") from someone who spoke my language and honored the principles I hold dear. I'd seen other energy healing methods before — tapping, for example — and had been impressed. But Carolyn's method? It was so much faster and felt completely clean and simple.

To be honest, during her demonstration, it was hard to tell if anything was even happening. She worked on me, my husband, and even a little bit for each of our kids (even though most of them weren't even there). What convinced me — and what ultimately led me to take her class — was what happened after she left.

As our kids came home from their activities and started interacting, Trevan and I noticed something amazing. The kids who usually butted heads were suddenly patient, loving, and respectful toward each other. There was a tangible peace in our home.

The next day was a special meeting at our church where members are invited to stand and share their feelings about God. I've seen my kids struggle with fear in those moments before — wanting to speak but too afraid — so I've always encouraged them to share at home or during the smaller children's meeting instead.

But that Sunday was different.

Our oldest teen walked up to share his feelings, which wasn't a big surprise — he often did. What did surprise us was when his younger brother got up... and then his sister... then another brother... and another sister — until nearly every one of our children, even our five-year-old, stood in front of the congregation to share their love and faith.

Trevan and I looked at each other in awe. We were sure the congregation must have thought we'd had a big family lesson encouraging everyone to participate — but we hadn’t. In fact, we had discouraged them from feeling pressured to speak. They did it because they wanted to.

Later that week, we had a follow-up appointment with the marriage therapist. But when the time came, we had to tell him we wouldn’t need his help after all. The anger and issues that had felt so paralyzing were simply gone. And even years later, the effects of that one session with Carolyn have lasted.

Our business has grown.
Our marriage has deepened.
Our children have thrived.
And I thank God for bringing SimplyHealed® into our lives at just the right time — and for preparing our hearts to be open to it.

Since then, I've attended Carolyn's trainings (and gone back for refreshers!). I love her work and have watched it create incredible transformations for people who are tired of being stuck.

Energy Healing - Dispelling the Myths

What is Energy Healing?

We know our bodies have systems like the digestive, skeletal, muscular, and circulatory systems — but what isn’t as widely known is that our bodies also come equipped with energy systems that help everything function properly. (These energy systems are different from our spirit; our spirit can function at its best when our body’s systems — including the energy systems — are working as they should.)

When emotional or physical trauma disrupts our energy systems, it can create problems that show up physically or emotionally. Traditional medicine often addresses the symptoms, but energy healing addresses the root cause — the energetic blocks. When you remove the block, the body often heals naturally, quickly, and completely — just as it was designed to do.

Read another explanation here.

Keeping it Pure and Aligned with True Principles

Carolyn spent over 14 years studying different energy healing methods, but she saw a need for something cleaner — something that honored God and sound principles. She pulled the purest, most effective techniques together, creating what is now called SimplyHealed®.

Originally called "Calyco Healing" (a combination of Carolyn Lyman Cooper's initials), SimplyHealed® offers a safe and uplifting environment for learning how to cope and even thrive through life's challenges.

And no — it doesn’t replace prayer.
Just like going to a dentist doesn't replace praying for a toothache, energy healing is a tool — not a substitute for faith.

When asked, "Why is this necessary if we have the gift of prayer?" Carolyn answered,
"Yes, the gift of prayer is enough. It is also enough to heal an abscessed tooth or a broken arm, but people still go get help from a Dentist or Dr... These are all tools to help us in this mortal life."

If you feel drawn to this work, I invite you to explore it fully. You just might find the answers you’ve been searching for.

The Practitioner is Not a “Healer”

To be clear: the practitioner isn’t the healer.
They’re more like a janitor — identifying and clearing the energetic blocks that have been holding you back. From there, your body and spirit know exactly what to do.

It’s simple.
It’s clean.
It’s powerful.

Could this help you?

• Do you have a physical issue that hasn’t responded to other methods?

• Emotional wounds that feel impossible to heal?

• Strained relationships you long to repair?

• Financial roadblocks you can’t seem to break through?

Life is full of traumas and hardships. Each negative experience can leave a "dent" in your energy systems. But clearing those blocks frees you to move forward — confidently and powerfully — to become all you were sent here to be.

Freedom at its finest.

You and Your Family Tree

One last powerful idea:
If you don’t clear your own energy blocks, they can stay trapped — and even be passed down to your children and future generations, just like eye color or height.

Sometimes inherited energy blocks show up as irrational fears or sabotaging beliefs, like feeling unworthy of success. You might be doing everything right, but still feel stuck — and this could be why.

And the beautiful part?
When you clear a block, it’s like pushing the unlock button on your car keychain — not only does your door unlock, but all the doors unlock, too.

(The doors might not open right away, but they’re ready — and when your family members are ready, they’ll step through.)

When you heal yourself, you open the way for your whole family tree to heal, too.
