Frequently
Asked Questions
Q. What are balancing energy aLignments?
Balancing Energy Alignments are a gentle, non-invasive form of healing that can be done in-person, over the phone, or remotely. The premise is that the body functions like a computer, either being strong or weak to various issues. Ancient energetic practices across cultures have acknowledged and mapped out the the body's energy circulatory system. Which, when blocked, can lead to a lack of support for the body, mind, and overall well-being.
Blocked energy can manifest as physical issues, pain, disease, or distress. Energy alignments aim to restore these energy channels. During a session, we identify specific causes and areas of energetic weakness in your body's energy flow, correcting them to restore the necessary energy for physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
With restored energy, the body can heal and vitality can be restored on all levels. Clients often experience spontaneous movement of chi, the release of unwanted mental and psychological patterns, emotional shifts and clearing, and shifts in perception that can lead to new manifestations.
Q. WHAT ISSUES CAN ENERGY alignments FIX?
People seek energy work to address a range of issues, from physical pain to emotional distress. Some seek to diminish fears or phobias, while others aim to release physical pain immediately. Relationship, life purpose, and financial issues are also common reasons for seeking energy work.
You're welcome to book a session if you'd like to address:
Physical issues, health, fitness, life force, and vitality
Shifting thoughts and beliefs
Memory, learning, or mental focus themes
Healing emotional trauma or finding emotional relief
Spiritual themes or general intuition and intuitive abilities
Finding your life purpose
Love and relationships
Work-related issues
Prosperity and abundance
Self-improvement
To support a family member or friend
Feel free to contact me if you have questions about other themes that energy work can be useful for.
Q. WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION?
During a session, the use of energy alignments should result in tangible shifts felt within your body and mind. Various techniques are employed based on your needs and goals, including dialogue, kinesiology, and intuitive accessing of your past and present influences, triggers, or belief systems. The movement of chi through the body, along with conscious and non-conscious re-patterning, are also utilized. We may incorporate subtle somatic sensations and spiritual intuitive insights that arise during the session.
Both immediate and longer-term shifts can occur. Sessions can be light and filled with ease, offering a joyful yet powerful experience. At other times, the work may be more serious, with relief and breakthroughs often occurring towards the end of the session. A common outcome is a tangible shift in energy and a sense of change.
Q. ARE APPOINTMENTS best when carried out IN-PERSON?
All session types are equally effective. If you're on Salt Spring Island or visiting nearby, consider an in-person session. Otherwise, you can book a phone session, email session, or recorded audio session to start creating the changes you seek.
Q. Are you sure distance healing will work?
If you've tried various approaches but still face challenges, issues, or blocks in your body, mind, emotions, or life, and you're unable to come in for an in-person session, opting for a distance session can be equally beneficial. Both types of sessions are equally effective.
If you're unsure, feel free to book a session. Within the first 10 minutes, we can assess if the session is providing help and positive effects.
If you feel it's not the right fit, just let me know, and we can end the session early. You'll receive a full refund, no questions asked.
Within 10 to 15 minutes of the session, you should start experiencing positive and beneficial results (some emotional and/or physical changes should be noticeable by then). If that's the case, we can proceed with deeper healing.
Q. what ARE THE OPTIONS, IN TERMS OF SESSION STYLE?
In-Person:
Location: 128 Hereford Ave, Suite 1, Salt Spring Island.

Virtual online meeting - a secure link is sent to you 10-15 min before your session begins. The online meeting requires no download or additional software. Skype, FaceTime, and WhatsApp are also available as options.

Skype audio only, also FaceTime audio, and WhatsApp audio, are also available as options.
Written:
Distance/Remote Session via email correspondence. Simply send an email with information and details of the theme/s you want to work on. The energy work is based on your notes, and session-summary notes are then sent to you by email.
A bit more info on Written Sessions:
Pre-Session Notes: Before your session, you'll be invited to send in your pre-session notes.
These are your personal notes, sent in ahead of your session. You can structure them (with an optional questionnaire sent to you prior to the session) or simply write whatever is on your mind regarding the shifts and changes you wish to experience.
Send these notes anytime before your session. Your written notes can be as simple or detailed as you'd like.
Session Notes, post-session: After your session, you'll receive session notes summarizing the information that came up and the alignments carried out for you.
Your notes will arrive in your inbox 15-30 minutes after your scheduled session ends, with a length based on the duration of your purchased session.
For your completed session notes, you will find the following word counts:
60-minute session: 800 words or more
30-minute session: 400 words or more
15-minute session: 200 words or more
*If you find that your notes exceed the word-counts above, it just means I spent a bit more time putting together your session notes after the energy work was completed. Longer notes don’t necessarily reflect a more effective energy session - I may have just had some extra time to elaborate on the details that came up.
Please note that writing post-session notes is an additional service and does not impact the duration of the energy-aligning component of your session. The energy-aligning work will be conducted for the full length of the session time booked (60 minutes, 30 minutes, or 15 minutes).
Q. what is the cost of a session?
Session fees:
1 hr session - $110
30 min session - $60
*15 min check in - $35 (these mini-sessions are offered by email only)
Q. DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS OR SCHOLARSHIPS?

Q. How many sessions do people usually have?
Often people have 1-3 sessions to support a particular issue or set of issues. While some clients commit to longer periods of deeper themes and more intense work.
*Important disclaimer
While this form of energy work is highly effective for supporting transformative experiences, it is not intended as a long-term service, as one might find in other therapeutic approaches. Energy sessions are not a substitute for traditional counseling, especially in cases where longer-term professional care is necessary.
