Healing Beyond the Surface: A Conversation with Claudia Osman

In this powerful episode of The Alimond Show, we sat down with Claudia Osman—licensed massage therapist, certified energy practitioner, and founder of Bodywork by Claudia Osman. With a physical office in Herndon and an energy practice based from her home in Reston, Claudia offers something rare in today’s wellness landscape: an integrative approach that blends bodywork, energy healing, and intuitive guidance to help people—and animals—heal from the inside out.

From Intuition to Purpose

Claudia’s journey into the healing arts wasn’t linear. Like many, she started college unsure of her path. But after moving to California and learning about massage therapy from a neighbor, something clicked. Claudia realized that her natural gift—an intuitive sense of touch and deep connection—had a professional outlet. She enrolled in massage school and soon after launched her own practice, leaving behind a large clientele in D.C. to build something rooted in purpose and aligned with her soul’s work.

Understanding the Energy Body

What sets Claudia apart isn’t just her two decades of massage therapy experience. It’s her work with the Body Code, an energy healing system that allows her to connect with the subconscious mind and release emotional and energetic blocks that affect physical health. She explained how unresolved emotional energy—whether inherited, absorbed, or created through trauma—can manifest as chronic pain, digestive issues, or autoimmune challenges.

From clients suffering from mysterious knee pain to those with lifelong digestive issues, Claudia uses muscle testing and energy mapping to uncover root causes, layer by layer. “It’s like peeling an onion,” she said. “We remove what we can in each session, reset, and revisit.”

A Holistic View of Healing

Claudia’s approach is multidimensional. She views the human body through the lens of alignment, vibration, and energy flow. She collaborates with physical therapists, refers clients to posture specialists using the Egoscue Method, and integrates high-frequency tools like gratitude journaling, meditation, and clean nutrition.

Her work doesn’t stop at humans either—Claudia is passionate about working with animals, too. Whether it’s releasing trauma from a rescue dog or helping a cat overcome phobias, she believes that pets, just like people, carry emotional baggage that affects their behavior and health.

Redefining “Woo-Woo”

Claudia’s honest frustration with the term “woo-woo” highlighted something deeper—how often we dismiss ancient healing wisdom because it doesn’t align with modern Western medicine. She emphasized that energy healing is rooted in science, tradition, and thousands of years of collective human experience. Her hope? That more people become curious rather than judgmental, open rather than skeptical.

“Alternative therapy has been around far longer than Western medicine. It’s not woo-woo. It’s just something many people haven’t heard of yet.”

Children, Trauma, and the Power of Early Healing

Claudia also shared her work with children, including those dealing with trauma, learning differences, and emotional struggles. Through tools like Brain Gym and subconscious energy clearing, she’s helped young clients release limiting beliefs and patterns—before they become lifelong emotional imprints. “They deserve to know they are worthy of learning, joy, and expression,” she said.

A Practitioner Who Listens and Refers

Another standout quality in Claudia’s work is her willingness to refer. Unlike some practitioners who hesitate to send clients elsewhere, Claudia thrives on collaboration. She understands that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all and respects the need for complementary approaches—whether through functional medicine, movement therapy, or mental health counseling.

In Claudia’s Words:

“I’m here to help remove what’s holding you back—whether it’s physical, emotional, or energetic—so your body can do what it was designed to do: heal.”

If you’re dealing with chronic conditions, emotional heaviness, or unexplained pain—and you’re open to a healing journey that goes deeper than surface-level fixes—Claudia Osman may be the guide you didn’t know you needed.
