INNER BALANCE is the Foundation of Health
Emotional stress is the root of all disease. Our problems begin when we ignore signals from our body to slow down, rest, to hydrate, eat better, etc. We cannot give from an empty cup.
Balancing 4 Life offers restoration through modalities to rebalance your energetic body. Every healing session or event you attend helps restore your energetic flow, strengthening your cellular core and enlivening your health and well-being. You regain your Presence with a renewed sense of balanced giving and receiving. Your cup is full and you have the energy to help others with confidence.
As a sensitive soul I understand the pressure that comes with trying to keep up with the demands of life. This is why I use my experience from 40 years in occupational therapy along with nearly 20 years as a Reiki professional to help people find their way back to balance. My mission is to create a healing sanctuary where individuals can recover their wholeness and be able to support others.

The Skill, Technique and Intuition of a Master
“I’ve recently had the good fortune to experience an energy healing session from Anne Bentzen. Anne has the presence of an Angel plus the skill, technique and intuition of a Master. Her energy is soft, sensitive, warm, radiant, relaxing, penetrating and deeply healing. I consider hers to be among the best healings I’ve ever received and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful healer.”
— G. Krachel, A Healer’s Healer
Gentle and Powerful, Knowledgeable and 100% Committed
“I have known and taken Reiki Levels 1 and 2 from three different Reiki Masters…I learned more in one class with Anne than I did with the complete classes of my other 2 masters. Anne has a quiet passion when it comes to Reiki. This permeating passion exudes from her spirit (and remarkable hands) and she generously shares it with any person who has an interest in learning about Reiki. She is gentle and powerful, knowledgeable and 100% committed to each person’s wellness through this remarkable form of energy healing.”
– B. English
Rebalanced My System with Emotional Healing
“I am deeply grateful to Anne for her wisdom, compassionate nature and desire to see me transformed. My body was suffering from a very stressful year and overwork. I found that her Reiki sessions relieved pain, inflammation, edema and restored healthy sleep patterns as well as my energy. She gently rebalanced my system with emotional healing to help me to release old traumas from my tissues and embrace new personal perspectives. This has been such a blessing for me. Much gratitude.”
