Welcome to my FAQ  & Resources

When you arrive for your session you may feel slightly anxious and this is perfectly natural so we start the session with a chat about how you are feeling and why you have come for the treatment. I will then complete a short consultation form and as we do this I am also intuitively connecting with your energy fields to notice any areas of weakness or imbalance and to pinpoint the areas I will be working on. I will then ask you to remove your shoes and any jewellery or scarves that may get in the way. You will then be invited to lie on the couch and I will cover you with a blanket. I will ask you to take a few deeper breathes and then close your eyes and relax. As I carry out the treatment you may fall asleep, don't worry I will wake you. I do not physically touch the body, as I work in your energy fields, so my hands will be moving at different heights and areas around the body. A Reiki session will usually last for an hour and a Shamanic Healing up to an hour and a half.

We are made up of energy and there is energy all around us. A healing treatment involves the transfer of energy through the healer to the recipient. It promotes self-healing by relaxing the body, releasing tensions and also supporting the body’s own immune system. Healing is natural and non-invasive and has the intention of bringing the recipient into a state of wellbeing and balancing the mind, physical body, emotions and spirit.
Healing is not linked to a religion or belief system you just have to be open to the possibility and experience.
As author and teacher Shakti Gawain writes:

Spiritual healing occurs as we begin to consciously reconnect with our essential being – the wise, loving, powerful, creative entity that we are at our core.

Because we are individuals we all have our own experiences of healing, equally two healing sessions with the same therapist can be experienced differently. Each session is different and you will receive exactly what is needed for you at the time of the treatment. Many clients experience heat where I am working, some have visions or images as they relax or are aware of colour. Some people feel sensations in their body and their legs or arms may twitch. Healing can bring up locked away emotions so clients often have a few tears and this is a very positive release. Some people feel and experience nothing although it is important to remember the healing has still been received and you will still reap the benefits.

Following the treatment I will provide you with some feedback on what I had found and sometimes I provide suggestions for your ongoing self-care. I suggest you hydrate fully with water during the day and especially if you experience a headache or upset stomach. Some clients do experience this, it is their body releasing old energy. I would then make recommendations for further appointments if required. Ideally I suggest that the remainder of the day is spent relaxing as some people can feel tired and it also allows the healing to be integrated fully. I also advise avoiding strenuous exercise or anything challenging mentally or emotionally for the day of the treatment.
