Emotion Code: A fascinating alternative healing method for both physical ailments and emotional scars
with special guests Cori Alexander and Marsha Brown
*apologies in advance for technical issues that appear at various times throughout this recording.
I had never heard of Emotion Code until recently, when one of my favorite alternative healing places, Covenant Natural Health, began offering it. Even then, I didn’t know too much about it - my initial assumption was that it was somehow an alternative to traditional “talk” therapy.
Thanks to Covenant practitioners Cori Alexander and Marsha Brown, I have since learned quite a bit:
that Emotion Code has Christian roots (west coast chiropractor Dr. Bradley Nelson developed it after praying to God for the wisdom to truly help his patients),
that Emotion Code can also be used in conjunction with traditional / “talk” therapy,
and that Dr. Nelson developed Emotion Code over a long period of two decades, from the early 1990’s through 2007, by observing his own patients
In the words of AI*:
“Dr. Nelson observed that many of his patients' physical ailments and emotional issues were linked to unresolved emotional energies trapped within the body. He refined the technique by combining elements of ancient healing practices, such as acupuncture and energy healing, with modern methods like muscle testing (applied kinesiology). The method is based on the premise that humans are electromagnetic beings and that trapped emotions can block the body's natural energy flow, potentially leading to physical and emotional distress.”
When 2025 roared into my life like a lion, along with some pretty high highs and some pretty low lows, I found myself a bit worse off for the wear and willing to try it, so I reached out to Covenant and made an Emotion Code appointment with Cori. Several months and multiple sessions later, I am a true believer.
I’ll also note that, for anyone who thinks energy healing is too “out there,” the concepts behind Emotion Code - though Christian at their core - are quite similar to (if not directly influenced by) Traditional Chinese Medicine principals, which have been practiced successfully for thousands of years.
I cannot explain exactly how Emotion Code works, but that’s why I invited Cori and Marsha to speak on the podcast today. I’m honored to share their stories so that you, too, can learn more about this powerful tool for gently healing your body and soul.
