Sessions

Healing Sessions

Initial (Intake) Session: Initial sessions are scheduled for 1.5 hours.

We will begin with an interview in which we will discuss your current general health, your health history and your concerns and symptoms. We will also explore your intentions for yourself and your healing.

Regular Sessions: Regular sessions are scheduled for 1 hour. Payment for the session is due at the beginning of the session.

Long Distance Sessions: Long distance sessions are scheduled on a pre-paid basis only. Otherwise, they are quite similar to regular sessions, except that you will be lying down at your place of choice rather than in my own healing space.

I will call you at the beginning of the session to make sure you are available and ready. I will ask you to lie down during the session. After the session, I will call you again so we can discuss our experiences of the session.

To arrange a long distance healing session, please first contact me via email or telephone.

Outcall (Housecall) Sessions: Sessions are available in your home, if you are unable to come to my own healing space. There is a $10 per session additional fee for outcall sessions. If the distance is significant, I may ask for reimbursement for my driving time.

Hands-on Healing: This work is the heart of my practice. I will ask you to remove your shoes and lie, usually face up, on a comfortable table, fully clothed.

During the table work I will usually begin at your feet and work with light, gentle and respectful touch, and with my own energy and awareness to balance, clear, restructure and nurture your body and your energetic field.

Specific techniques and locations of treatment will depend on your own unique symptoms, needs and concerns. My training and experience allow me to tailor the work to what is needed at the time, in a fluid and dynamic manner.

I may include the recitation of specific mantra, which can deepen our contact, increase and intensify my own focus and serve as a strong container for the work we do together. I usually recite these mantra at an audible volume, though if you are very deep in a healing space I may choose to recite them silently. Your own preference (including silence) will, of course, always be honored.

I may also lead you through a guided meditation or visualization to help increase your self-awareness and aid the healing process.

Counseling: Our voices are critically important and powerful expressions of our energy and consciousness. Talking together, we exchange energy.

Talking together with the intention to explore, understand and heal is a powerful means of moving toward wholeness. This is the meaning of "counseling" in my practice.

Counseling may take the form of sitting and talking to each other, or talking while the hands-on healing is underway.

Process Work**: Also called Expressive Therapy, this involves you activating your own energy system through the use of your body and your voice to express your energy.

At times, you may be really wound up, or tense, or anxious, or just plain angry. In such states, it will be difficult for you to receive the benefit of the healing work, because you will be unable to relax or even to lie still.

Additionally and perhaps more importantly, moving your own body in prescribed ways can be a powerful method of activating your own energy, loosening blockages, freeing your creativity and your intuition and vision, allowing you more clarity and insight into the situation at hand.

**I am neither trained by nor affiliated with the Process Work Institute, though I believe it be a powerful force for personal and planetary healing.
