DISCLAIMER/LIABILITY WAIVER for Energy Work, Ceremonies & Retreats:
Everyone responds differently to being in Sacred Space (Ceremony). Although my approach is gentle & compassionate, in ceremony or a healing, sometimes this work can go quite deep, making hidden parts of ourselves easier to access…

Rachael's sessions are held within a Medicine Wheel… Which is a sacred space, offering a clean, energetic container, supported by her spirit team and guides.
Everyone responds differently to being in Sacred Space/Ceremony. Although E and Rachael’s approach is gentle, nourishing and compassionate sometimes this work can go quite deep and make hidden parts of ourselves easier to access.
The Participant understands that EC or ER activities, including but not limited to; ceremony, meditation, energy healing, group processes, nature immersion, and movement, may bring up emotions, discomfort or physical symptoms, and may (or may not) experience any of the following:
Insights and clarity as to what you can focus on moving forward. Your goals and desires may feel more achievable. Your energy levels may fluctuate from exhaustion to feeling elated.
You may feel calmer, more relaxed, free, light, at ease, expansive, more present, embodied and grounded.
Or you may feel tender, vulnerable or emotionally heavy as you clear out old, repressed emotions. Sadness, grief, anger can re/surface. You may think you have moved through an emotion, situation, pattern or shadow to find it returns you back to a deeper or unmet truth.
You may experience physical symptoms such as heaviness, tiredness, the need to go to the toilet more frequently, aches and pains, headache or cold-like symptoms. These physical detox symptoms usually pass quickly and are your body’s way of releasing/letting go.
Trust that whatever arises for you is here for your loving attention & honouring at a time you are ready to work with it.
Following an EC or ER it is advised you avoid unhelpful coping mechanisms like sugar, alcohol, negative people/places etc.
It is helpful for you to do things that feel nourishing following an EC or ER. For example, eat healthy food, drink plenty of water, get a good night’s sleep, invite gentle movement, spend time in nature, rest, journal, dance, walk, shake.
What can you do to support the integration of a Ceremony/Healing?
Give yourself some time and space to reflect on what you experienced. Don’t be in such a rush to get back to the usual structure of your day to day life and allow the session to integrate.
You might like to go for a gentle walk outside in nature, meditate, have a soothing bath or shower and/or do some journal writing to reflect on what you experienced.
If you have a therapist or other healing professionals who you work with, you may benefit from a session with them to explore and further integrate what has arisen for you. As it is important to look at things from a holistic perspective -that is spiritually, mentally, emotional and physically. As one approach will not fix all.
E notes that the energy and timeline healings offered are not shamanic clearings or soul retrieval. If you are interested in this deeper spirit work, Rachael can make recommendations for accredited, integral healing practitioners. However, it is at your own discretion to decide if the practitioner or service is right for you and takes not responsibility for your experience with them.
Self-responsibility is an important expectation of attending an EC, ER or receiving a service held in scared space. By attending you agree to this and that you are resourced and supported in your day-to-day life to take care of yourself and engage in helpful integration practices following a ceremony, healing or retreat.
The more you commit to slowing and allowing your integration process, not judging what arises for you, the more easeful and even enjoyable the experience can be.
