Full Circle Energy Therapies and Coaching in Ewing

Many find themselves experiencing big transitions in life. While change can be a phenomenal experience, it can also be stressful and downright scary. Lori Hoff of Full Circle Energy Therapies understands this journey well. Hoff’s approach to the transformational healing process empowers individuals to do the work; gently peeling back layers so they may radiate their true essence, and vibrationally align with the life they deserve. Her services include personalized energy sessions (in person and distance. for both people and pets), group facilitated breathwork, sound healing and coaching. She also uses and teaches Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy. She also offers a free consultation to new clients.


 “I’ve been through a lot, especially at a young age, and I understand the concept of grief and gratitude rolled up into one. So, you don’t need to be ‘well versed’ in holistic healing to work with me. Show up as you are,” states Hoff. 


Hoff is certified in Polyvagal Theory and understands the connection of the spiritual plane to the physical and how everyday realities can impact our ability to transform. “Deep healing is our right. We don’t always have 5000 hours a day to devote to it, so I facilitate a safe place to land while you learn to heal yourself.”

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
