Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens during a session?
A: If you choose to have a session at The Light Vessel’s space in Navarre, we will first have a brief discussion about your purpose for seeking treatment. Then, you will lay on a massage table fully clothed. (Please dress in loose, comfortable clothing.) If the table is uncomfortable for you, a chair may be used. You may be covered with a blanket, if you wish. I will either lightly lay my hands on various parts of your body or hover my hands a few inches above. If you do not wish to be touched, please let me know as I always want to honor and respect your boundaries.
In a 60+ minute session, I will treat both sides of your body, your head, and your feet. You may talk if you like, but are encouraged to just relax and enjoy the music for an hour as talking can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of your healing as I work best when I am able to focus.
Q: What happens after a healing session?
A: After your healing session, we will have a quick chat about your experience to find out if you felt any changes or sensations. If desired, I can relay to you any information I may have received from my intuition.
I will follow up with you a couple days after your session to see how you’re doing.
To have the greatest healing impact, it is recommend that you schedule at least 3 sessions which should be completed in a short amount of time. I offer a 15% discount for a 3 session package.
Q: What if I cannot travel to The Light Vessel’s healing space?
A: If you are not local or cannot travel to the healing space in Navarre, remote sessions are also available. No matter where you are, I am able to transmit energy to you! You can schedule an appointment using one of the buttons on this website. To receive your session, you merely need to be in a safe space (not driving or doing anything that requires concentration), be preferably relaxed, and ready to receive healing. I will communicate with you before and after your session via phone or email.
