FAQS
Who can be helped with QEST?
​
Not to overstate, but QEST can be helpful to everyone. QEST is very helpful for anyone who has had a head injury of any type, including even ‘minor’ car accidents or whiplash. It is effective for people with almost any physical condition causing pain or discomfort, whether acute or chronic, including complex, systemic issues. Although people may not come with the intention of addressing other aspects of their well-being, many people are pleasantly surprised to find that their sleep is improved, as is their mental clarity and emotional stability. Many people come to QEST who have not found relief with traditional western medicine and who are seeking a more holistic, noninvasive way to support their health and well-being. QEST is highly effective for babies, children, adults at every stage of life, and animals as well.
Will QEST conflict with other medical care I receive?
No. QEST treatments can help to support your body so that it can naturally heal itself, but they do not replace or conflict with treatment you may be receiving elsewhere. It may actually complement other care you are receiving, helping it to be more effective. QEST practitioners are not practicing medicine and can not advise clients regarding medical care.
What are QEST sessions like?
Sessions are held in Littleton, CO and last about 60-75 minutes each. You’ll be lying down on a massage table, fully clothed. Your practitioner will perform muscle testing, usually using your arm, to communicate with your body and get ‘answers’ or information about what is needed. The muscle testing will involve pushing on your arm to obtain answers (not hard, promise!). QEST ‘procedures’ are generally done with a very light touch. The first session or two will focus entirely on craniofacial work; this entails light touch to specific spots on the head and face, often with directions for you to breathe with your practitioner. This craniofacial work is foundational work that is essential for the rest of QEST sessions to be effective. After the craniofacial work is completed, the work will progress to the rest of your body over time.
Do you ‘feel’ my energy or somehow intuit what to work on?
QEST practitioners rely on muscle testing to know how to treat each person. Your practitioner will use muscle testing at every step along the way to confirm whether a certain procedure needs to be done, where, and the timing/other details. Your practitioner does not ‘heal’ you. Rather, each QEST procedure is essentially reminding your body to pay attention and bring energy to a certain area that has been disrupted and needs to return to its natural state of balance (clear energetic flow). Your practitioner’s hands act as something of a traffic cop, reminding your body to pay attention and send some extra TLC, so to speak – but it is your body that does the healing.
Is QEST the same as Quantum Healing?
Quantum energetics refers to the understanding that we are all comprised of energy and interconnected at an energetic level. There are many modalities today that contain the word ‘quantum.’ In fact, this work was formerly called Quantum Energetics some years ago. However, QEST has evolved since it bore that name and today is a unique and standalone approach taught by the Quantum Energetics Institute in Fort Collins, CO. Importantly, QEST differs significantly from other therapies that may include ‘quantum’ in their names.
How is QEST different than other energy therapies?
QEST may bear some outward resemblance to other forms of energy work - like Healing Touch or Reiki, a QEST practitioner uses one’s hands to transmit energy. QEST also shares understanding of the chakras, meridians, and the energy body with traditions including acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
However, QEST’s methods of identifying and treating points or systems are based on a completely unique body of knowledge and set of principles. In practice, whereas Reiki might be compared to a searchlight, QEST procedures can be thought of as the fine point of a laser beam, affecting a very precise target.
​
Why is QEST so effective?
​
1) The work is highly structured. Your sessions will begin with essential foundational steps that systematically help you to receive energy and move it through your body.
2) QEST practitioners are trained to use muscle testing in combination with tapping ‘codes’ to discern information and answers from your body.
3) QEST practitioners are trained in anatomy and physiology as well as the QEST principles and techniques. Each corrective procedure done is highly specific to the part of the body or system that your body indicates is needed via muscle testing.
How long does it take to feel better?
Everyone is different, and unfortunately there is no way to predict how quickly you may experience results. In some cases, a chronic condition may take weeks or months to address, while someone with a different kind of problem may see improvement much faster. That said, regardless of why people initially try QEST, many people report sleeping better right away, and some do experience dramatic improvement quickly. Some people report improvement after just the initial foundational sessions alone. It is important to know that QEST is a structured system that builds on what was done before, so the best results come from advancing through the work. The further one moves through the system, the better one’s results will be.
