Questions people ask

Is this a replacement for medical or psychological treatment?

No. These are complementary wellbeing and spiritual practices. Please keep seeing your doctor or therapist and never stop prescribed treatment without their advice.

Can I have a session online?

Many practices work well over a video call. Hands-on practices need an in-person visit — each page says which format is available.

Will I see results?

Everyone’s experience is different and no result can be promised. Many people simply value feeling heard, calmer or clearer.

Can someone under 18 book?

Only with a parent or guardian’s consent, and a parent or guardian should be present.
