Menla Energy Healing East Bay
Activate your inner healer
About Me
My name is Jeffrey Gianelli, and I have devoted the past decade to practicing in the healing arts. My own healing journey began with Buddhist meditation more than 15 years ago, which opened the door to a lifelong exploration of consciousness, compassion, and human potential.
Over the years, my work has evolved into guiding and supporting others through energy healing and working with non-ordinary states of consciousness, with the intention of fostering balance, wholeness, and supporting others on their path to awakening. I draw from a holistic framework that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, weaving together diverse healing practices that create space for deep insight, release, and renewal.
My Offerings
Reiki and energy healing invite you to reconnect with the flow of universal life force energy. These gentle practices support relaxation, reduce stress, and restore balance to the body and mind. Through hands-on or distance work, these sessions harmonize the chakras, clear energetic blockages, and open pathways for higher guidance. The natural flow of energy can help ease tension, promote emotional well-being, and enhance overall vitality.
Sessions are one hour.
Consciousness Expanding Breathwork is a powerful, two hour drug-free journey inward, using conscious connected breathing, evocative music, and guided support to access expanded states of awareness. This immersive experience helps release stored emotional energy, unlock creative insight, and promote deep healing.
In these 2.5 hour sessions, ketamine is used as a doorway into expanded states of awareness, supported by the practice of mindful self-compassion. Together, these approaches create a safe and nurturing space to gently explore the inner landscape, release old patterns, and cultivate kindness toward oneself. This integration allows for healing on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels, while fostering resilience, clarity, and self-acceptance. Medical consultation and medications are not included.
Our birth can leave lasting imprints, some positive and some negative, that are often related to longstanding patterns of emotions, behaviors and beliefs that show up in our daily lives. The implicit memory of birth is stored within our bodies, our cells hold the imprint. Birth trauma reprocessing connects us to archetypical resources who help us to heal from the very core of our being in this lifetime. This can be the beginning of new ways of being in the world.
This program is a nervous system retraining that helps rewire the brain and body from the impacts of trauma. We will meet for 4-6 sessions to customize a plan tailored to your specific needs. Through mantra, breath, mudras, visualization, and vibrational sound, we create a safe internal space for healing and emotional regulation. Ancient tools like crystals, energetic medicine, and elemental archetypes support the release of stored patterns and the creation of new, empowering ones. Rooted in deep self-awareness and sacred intention, this journey restores balance, clarity, and connection to the healer within.
