In a field crowded with meditation apps and wellness influencers, Chris Wasko has carved out a distinct niche by focusing on something more specific: reading the body’s energy through the chakra system to help clients process trauma. Rather than offering generic mindfulness advice, this approach centers on identifying where emotional wounds manifest physically in the energy field.
Wasko works primarily with adults between 25 and 55 who are dealing with the aftermath of childhood trauma and narcissistic abuse. The practice attracts what Wasko describes as “old souls” and the “black sheep of the family”—people who feel fundamentally different from those around them and are looking for validation and healing that traditional therapy has not provided.
A Body-Centered Approach to Trauma
The methodology behind these spiritual counseling sessions involves reading the chakra system to decode what the body is expressing. According to Wasko, this allows for pinpointing where energetic blocks exist and what stories trauma has written into someone’s physical presence. Clients come seeking help with patterns of self-doubt, relationship dysfunction, and the lingering effects of growing up in difficult family systems.
This work has been formalized through Spicy Old Souls®, a healing program designed for what Wasko calls “spirited, self-aware individuals.” The program name itself signals a departure from the sometimes austere tone of traditional spiritual practice, appealing instead to people who embrace their intensity and refuse to dim themselves for others.
From Practice to Publication
Wasko has expanded beyond one-on-one client work into writing and media. Her book, “An Old Soul’s Journey,” serves as a guide for inner child healing, translating the concepts from energy healing sessions into a format readers can work through independently. The book addresses a specific audience: those who have felt misunderstood their entire lives and are ready to stop apologizing for their sensitivity.
Podcast appearances have further extended this reach, with Wasko discussing energy healing, spiritual growth, and personal empowerment in interview formats. An online blog continues to publish content on these themes, offering entry points for people curious about this approach but not yet ready to commit to private sessions.
What’s Next
The focus going forward is on more books. Having established the practice and created the Spicy Old Souls® program, Wasko is looking to documentation and written resources as the next phase of growth. For practitioners in the healing space, this trajectory—from individual sessions to programs to publishing—represents a common path toward scalability.
The target audience remains consistent: empaths, survivors of difficult childhoods, and people seeking alternatives to conventional therapeutic models. These are clients who want someone to acknowledge that their sensitivity is not a weakness and that their family dysfunction was not their fault. For this group, trauma healing through energy work offers something talk therapy alone has not: a way to address what the body remembers even when the mind tries to forget.
