Medical Intuitive, Healer and Mystic

Elaine Woodall, Ph.D., was “just minding her own business” when, in 1981, a mystical and spiritual awakening revolutionized her life. As it often happens with dramatic life changes, she became seriously ill. She had a debilitating case of chronic fatigue syndrome which left her bedridden for six months. Then, surprisingly, after she started to get well, she began to have mystical experiences. They launched her on the first steps of her journey to becoming the skilled healer and medical intuitive that she is today. Throughout her own spiritual learning process, Dr. Woodall has always immediately turned around and taught others her freshly acquired insights. Her years as a college professor in art history had taught her the skill of taking complicated concepts and turning them into easily taught ideas. This ability enables her students and clients to easily grasp and apply her techniques. She currently shares her healing and medical intuitive techniques with the clients in her practice, as well as in workshops given around the world.

Dr. Woodall’s life as a healer began with her very first spontaneous healing in 1983. One day, while being driven home by a friend, she passed by a very serious car accident. One of the accident victims was a woman whose torso had been crushed. The moment after Dr. Woodall saw her, she empathically linked with her and sent her a healing. Then she had a vision of the Madonna and the woman in the sky, with both of them thanking her for the healing and for saving the woman’s life. She would later find out that the woman had actually survived this terrible accident. Such a beginning as a healer has led Dr. Jerry Wesch, an expert on this topic, to describe Dr. Woodall as a “natural healer.” A natural healer is someone who “the universe taps on the shoulder and says ‘you’re it,’” according to Wesch.

During this same period Dr. Woodall herself received several miraculous healings. With the first one, her hearing was restored. She suffered from otosclerosis, a problem with the bones of the inner ear, in both ears and a trauma to the left ear. The second healing was for her arthritis which affected most of the bones of her body.

Even though her introduction to being healed and to being a healer was dramatic, Dr. Woodall’s techniques for healing others evolved in a more gradual way. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, she could heal small illnesses like chronic physical problems such as IBS and chronic bladder infections by just focusing for a few seconds and saying to Spirit, “Please heal this illness.” Then in 1999 the healings evolved into longer meditation-like energy shifts that healed major physical illnesses, genetic disorders, as well as emotional and spiritual problems. This change led Dr. Woodall to develop the current healing procedure she teaches today in her workshops.

A central principle of Dr. Woodall’s healing technique is that everyone has the ability to heal themselves and others. The capacity to heal is hardwired into the human brain. When working with a client, Dr. Woodall brings out their latent healing abilities. She doesn’t transmit the ability to them, but rather her energy resonates with the client’s and elicits their own healing capacity. The healing of their physical, emotional or spiritual problem happens through the cooperation of the healer, the client and the Universal Life Force, or Spirit. Dr. Woodall’s role is certainly not as a “guru,” but rather as a teacher whose goal is to help people learn to listen to their Higher Selves, the God within, their Higher Power. Her clients learn to heal themselves, and to follow Spirit’s lead in their healings.

In addition to being a natural healer, Dr. Woodall is also a natural intuitive. This ability came to her in the early 1980s, about a year after she began a regular meditation practice. She was pondering a problem and saw the answer in her mind’s eye. When she realized what had happened, she began to use her gift to guide her own life and to help others. Along the way, her intuitive ability spontaneously evolved into the ability to see medical issues in her clients. When working with a client who complained of difficulty with her heart, she saw in her mind’s eye what was causing the problem. Dr. Woodall immediately realized that she had just seen into the body and located the source of the dysfunction. She now uses this ability to guide her healings to the precise source of the problem.

In a typical first meeting with a client, Dr. Woodall does a complete medically intuitive reading at the body, mind, and spiritual levels. Oftentimes healings come through to the client during these readings. After finding any issues that need to be resolved, she then determines how many sessions will be needed to heal it. On average, it takes 4 to 6 sessions, though often fewer are needed. In these sessions absolutely anything can be healed, from physical illnesses to emotional and spiritual problems. And physical distance is not a problem for medical readings or healings – half of all Dr. Woodall’s clients have their appointments over the phone.

The interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit is central to Dr. Woodall’s philosophy of healing. Physical illnesses often have their roots in unexpressed, unprocessed emotions. As the researcher Candice Pert points out, “emotions are the key to healing.” A client with Hepatitis C came to Dr. Woodall, and through the process of healing her liver, the client found herself finally confronting her repressed anger at some of her family members. This led her to draw healthy boundaries with them which further led to greatly improving their relationships.

The immense power of the mind to create the physical conditions of the body also demonstrates the importance of treating body, mind and spirit together. Quite literally, “mind becomes matter,” as Pert puts it. This principle is strikingly demonstrated in cases that Pert reports on about multiple personality disorder (MPD). One individual who has MPD had one personality who is walleyed and so aggressive that he gets into bar fights, while the other personality is less aggressive and distinctly not walleyed! Another example is a woman with one personality who is allergic to cats and another that was not. No illness of the physical body can be treated in isolation from the mind. The physical body is quite literally the expression of the mind!

Dr. Woodall’s approach to healing is so effective because it does not treat a person’s physical issues in isolation but, rather, in their interrelatedness to the whole system of the body, mind and spirit. As a medical intuitive, she sees and locates these problems on all three levels, and as a healer, with the cooperation of the client and Spirit, she resolves these issues. James Oschman, a specialist in energy and complimentary medicine, points out that there are “3,868 medical problems listed by the Karolinska Institute of Stockholm, Sweden. I believe this will be replaced by a new medical model. The shaman [the healer] doesn’t need to know the name of your disease.” Dr. Woodall firmly believes in this new medical model, as deeply as she believes in resolving illnesses through the treatment of the whole person, instead of just the physical symptoms.
