FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My introductory rate is $45 for a session. The first session tends to be up to 2 hours in length. I have a sliding fee scale for subsequent appointments - $50 to $85, in person, via Skype, via phone. I charge $125 to make a house call.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, I would encourage you to take advantage of the introductory session, discounted to $45.00. You don't have anything to lose and you will gain a feeling of peace and well-being. There is no obligation to continue. If you choose to have a subsequent appointment, I have a sliding-scale - $50 to $85.00.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Masters in Social Work. I studied medical social work and worked in an oncology department because I had had cancer. I worked as a cancer counselor for 14 years, after which I spent 6 years in hospice. I had support groups focused on mind/body modalities of support - I introduced people to techniques and practices that they could DO themselves - practices that the clients were able to do themselves. Part of this exploration and education was due to my need to heal, myself as I was diagnosed with cancer in 1993 and again in 2003. In 2008 I discovered Reiki and became initiated into Reiki in 2009. I have studied with shamans and have developed a unique blend of shamanic healing and Reiki. I have found Reiki to be a very powerful and easy to access energy to aid self-healing. Prior to 2009 I was a practitioner of another type of energy healing, Biofield Therapy. I also spent 9 years in a semi-monastic spiritual community and am an ordained minister.
