Policies.
Arrivals & Time: Please arrive just a few minutes early to your session. I do not have an indoor waiting area to accommodate early arrivals. If you arrive late to your appointment, your session will be shortened accordingly. All conversations are considered part of your scheduled session. If I am running late, I will extend your session time accordingly.
Cancellation: Please reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. Life happens and it is my policy to allow one "grace pass" for the first missed appointment or appointment cancelled less than 24 hours. However, if it happens a second time, your session will not be rescheduled and you will need to book a new session.
Illness and emergency are exceptions to this policy. Please do not hesitate to reschedule your appointment if you are sick.
Conduct: Although healing can sometimes be a sensual experience, it is not a sexual experience. Any sexual advancements or requests by the client will be grounds for terminating the session immediately and full payment will be charged.
Drugs/Alcohol: If client arrives under the influence of any mind altering substance, the session will be cancelled and full payment will be charged.
Session Refunds: Paying for a session is a commitment to yourself. No refunds will be given. You are welcome to reschedule your appointment for another time or gift your session to a friend.
Essential Oil Refunds: We do not offer refunds , so please order carefully. We are happy to offer store credit for items returned in unopened/new condition. Payment will be charged for shipping exchanged products.
FAQs.
How Long are Sessions? All sessions are approximately 75 minutes. This allows time for about an hour on the table with one primary modality (sound or aromatherapy + healing touch) plus time to share before and after the session. Profound healing can occur in a very short time, given full presence and intention. I offer extended 2-hour sessions which allows time for both sound and aromatherapy + healing touch. This is an intensive experience and I highly recommend reserving quiet time to integrate after these sessions. Extended sessions are especially great for people who are visiting Boulder and only have a short time in town.
How Can I Most Benefit from my Session?
Cleanliness. Come to the session clean and without other lotions or oils on your skin. To receive the full benefit of medicinal essential oils, it is important that they are layered directly on the skin for absorption without interference or barriers from other skin care products.
Plan to take it easy after your session. The session can continue to integrate for up to several days after your session. Whenever possible, schedule sessions when you have time after your session to rest, relax and take care of you. It is not uncommon to hear that sessions with me are "very detoxifying," which means that emotions might start coming to the surface or you might feel physical symptoms of detoxification afterwards or even days later. This "old stuff" is coming up to release, so giving yourself time and space to allow it to release is so important. You might feel deeply tired and/or emotional. This is very common. If you can, plan on taking it easy the rest of the day, take a stroll into nature, take a salt bath, meditate or anything else deeply nourishing. This will allow this "old stuff" to release and once it passes, you should feel invigorated and thoroughly refreshed.
Hydrate. Always drink extra water after sessions to help the body move out toxins after sessions.
Are Remote Sound Healing Sessions as Effective as In Person? Absolutely. In fact, sometimes sound healing sessions done remotely are even more effective because there are no distractions. There is no opportunity for your mind to make judgements about what is happening. When receiving remotely there is no other choice but to simply surrender.
Draping? Sound healing clients remain fully dressed on the table. Aromatherapy + healing touch clients may choose to undress and be draped like a typical therapeutic massage, or may choose to wear loose clothes and essences can still be applied around clothing. Although healing work can sometimes be a sensual experience, it is not a sexual experience. Any sexual advancements or requests by the client will be grounds for terminating the session immediately and payment will not be refunded.
