FAQ's
Here are some frequently asked questions
01
What are your private sessions like?
Individual private sessions are tailored to your specific needs and may include spiritual care and counseling, tablework of a variety of somatic modalities, energy work, instruction and practice in spiritual and medical qigong and contemplative practices/meditation.
02
What are your group practices like?
Supportive and safe group practices include instruction and guidance in qigong, contemplative practices/meditation and realizing Body-Heart-Mind Wisdom.
Whether it is group practice or individual sessions, this work relieves the Body-Heart-Mind and releases the habitual holding patterns to allow the transformation you desire.
03
How many appointments will I need?
It all depends on you and your desires and needs. I provide short-term care for immediate and acute issues, as well as continuity of care for clients seeking deep, explorative and self-transformative work or for those with chronic or serious illness. My work aims to reduce suffering in the body, heart-mind and spirit. And if there is anything I’ve learned, we cannot impose a time frame on transformation and healing.
The frequency and number of sessions will depend on your individual needs and situation. Some feel a shift after a few sessions. For some this happens after a single session. Some have the desire for a long-term collaboration as we journey together through a deep loss, chronic condition or serious illness.
After your concerns have been addressed you may choose to have regular 'maintenance' sessions or you may return for a couple of sessions whenever you are ready to work on something else.
Some people return on a weekly basis just because they like how relaxing it is, the work offers them deep insights and it allows them to take time for themselves. They think of it as self-care.

Deep insights and profound experiences happen during our sessions and are wonderful. But how do I incorporate and stabilize these profound shifts into my life?
Permanent, meaningful change happens through continuity of care and continuity of practice.
-
Continuity of care includes regularly scheduled follow-up appointments which includes ongoing contact and support.
-
Continuity of practice includes working with suggested practices at home and on a regular basis, focused one-to-one check-in sessions, additional classes, retreats, or workshops.
Be kind to yourself, be consistent and when you’ve set down your practice for a time, simply begin again.
