I offer the following services: Meditation (as a certified meditation teacher of the 1 Giant Mind Being Meditation and Effortless Meditation), Holistic Life Coaching and Mind-Body Wellbeing (as a certified Holistic Life Coach and Mind-Body Practitioner), and Women’s Cyclical Wisdom and Shamanic Womancraft (as a certified Shamanic Womancrafter). While services may be delivered as stand-alone, they are often delivered in combination, and in delivering a service I may draw from and blend together the complementary modalities in which I am trained and/or experienced, according to what is relevant and appropriate at the time.

My role is to assist the client to bring balance into their whole lives and ensure the client is in touch with their own needs on a holistic level (typically the mind, body, spirit and emotions). No assumption of responsibility is made or taken through the provision of the services offered and provided.

The client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the client-practitioner relationship and from sessions and interactions with me.

All personal information supplied by the client to me during the course of providing the service is confidential. Written records will be kept for a reasonable period of time as determined by the Practitioner. Information will not be given to third parties in relation to the client or the client’s personal details without the permission of the client, unless I deem the client, or any other person associated with the client, to be in a serious or life threatening situation, in which case I am duty bound to report the perceived danger to the appropriate authorities. Such incidences may include suicidal tendencies or physical, mental or emotional abuse being committed on, or by, the client.
