A ninety-second introduction can look like nothing more than a greeting. Carrie Suwal's welcome video for Healing Earth Therapy in Canmore is, in practice, a compact statement of one worldview: that the healing a person is looking for is already inside them, that it gets obscured by what she calls negative blockages and stagnant energy, and that a practitioner's job is to clear a path back to it. The video is short and doesn't go deep on method, so this piece pairs what she actually says with plain definitions of the practices listed in her business description, and is clear about where the video stops.
She opens with a greeting and an invitation to work on "your path to wholeness and wellness." The method she names is connecting to "divine source energy," inviting in "guides and helpers," and reconnecting with what she describes as a deep, inherent truth. Around the 31-second mark she says the wisdom and healing a person needs are already there and that you were born with them. The question she poses next, at about 36 seconds, is the one that drives the whole pitch:
"how do we get you back to your pure source and your pure energy"

That framing matters. It treats healing less as repair, where something broken is fixed from outside, and more as recovery, where something whole is uncovered. In this model the practitioner is a guide who helps remove obstacles rather than someone who installs a remedy. The words she uses for the state on the other side of that work, "radiant," "in balance," "in peace," "open-hearted unconditional love," describe a condition of wholeness rather than a symptom to be treated. Those are her words, and they set the tone for everything else on the site.
Around the 58-second mark she describes the work as "removing any negative blockages that you hold" and "any negative or stagnant energy," followed by creating "a path of clarity" to reconnect you to your divine essence. The video does not define blockages or explain how they are identified or removed. That gap is worth noticing. Energy-based frameworks like this one rely on a shared vocabulary between practitioner and client, and the video assumes the viewer already speaks it. A prospective client who wants to know what a session will look like will need to ask directly.
Her business description lists six offerings. Here are general definitions, which are not statements from Carrie Suwal beyond what her listing names:
- Reiki: a practice of energy healing, widely associated with Japanese origins, in which a practitioner works with the energy field through hands-on or hands-near placement.
- Shamanism: a broad term for traditions that work with spirit helpers and intermediary worlds. It fits her reference to guides and helpers in the intro.
- Space clearing: energetic work aimed at a physical location, such as a home or room, rather than a person.
- Psychopomp work: her listing describes this as "ghost relocating." Psychopomp traditionally refers to a guide of souls between worlds.
- Akashic record reading: a reading drawn from a concept of a non-physical record of experience, practiced within certain spiritual circles.
- Massage: the only offering in the listing that is in person only.
The listing says all treatments except massage can be done at a distance, and that full-day retreat packages are listed through Soulful Mountain Retreats.
According to the description, yes, for everything except massage. Distance sessions are common across energy-based practices, but the video itself does not explain how a remote session works, what a client needs to do beforehand, or how the practitioner tells a session has been completed. If distance work is part of your decision, those are the questions to put to the practitioner before booking.
The intro is a welcome, not a manual. It gives no prices, no information about training or credentials, no client testimonials, and no account of the practitioner's own path into the work. It makes no claims about measurable outcomes, and it should not be read as one. Viewers who find the framework meaningful will want to look at the full description and speak with Carrie Suwal directly. Viewers who don't share the worldview can still take the piece as a clear picture of how a single Canmore practice describes itself.
Read the full business description for the complete list of offerings and the retreat details. If you're considering a session, contact the practitioner with specific questions: what a first session involves, how distance work is conducted, and what training shaped the practice. Then decide for yourself whether the framework of inherent wholeness and energetic clearing fits what you're looking for.
