Frequently asked questions

How treatments work

Sessions last for approximately 90 minutes. We chat at the beginning for 15 mins and then I’ll invite you to lie down on the treatment table for approximately 60 minutes, covered in blankets. After the treatment is over, we’ll chat about your experience for 15 mins.

  • I’ll ask you to complete an intake form to give background information about the reasons you are seeking healing and a disclaimer. I will send location details or a zoom link depending on whether your session is in person or distant.

  • During your first treatment, we'll start with a chat to go over some important details including your medical history, any medications, diet, lifestyle and your specific reasons for choosing energy healing. This initial conversation - lasting about 15 minutes- ensures I understand exactly what you need to get the most out of each session. Everyone's journey is different and I tailor each treatment to suit.

  • You'll be invited to lie down, fully clothed, and covered with blankets. I usually begin by lightly placing my hands on your shoulders to connect with your energy, and may gently touch your shoulders, hips, knees, or feet at the end to help ground you. I always ask permission beforehand, and you're free to say yes or no. There is never any touching of intimate areas.

    Most of the session is hands-off, working in your energy field above the body. You may feel warmth, coolness, tingling, emotions, or simply deep relaxation — some people even fall asleep. We can have gentle music playing, or work in silence if you prefer. If we are working with crystals I will place them on the body, or use medical tape to fix them to specific points.

    At the end, I’ll gently guide you back to full awareness. I will then remove any crystals, help you off the couch and give you a glass of water to rehydrate.

  • After our initial chat, I’ll invite you to lie down in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Cosy up under your duvet or blankets. You may wish to use an eye mask or play relaxing music. I can send you a Spotify playlist if you’d like.

    During the session, you may experience warmth, coolness, images, emotions, or simply deep relaxation. If anything feels uncomfortable, just let me know. Many people drift into a peaceful, sleep-like state.

    For your first distant session, I’ll ask you to keep your camera on so I can see you and respond in real time. After that, you’re welcome to choose whether we stay connected or end the call during the treatment — whatever helps you feel most comfortable.

  • Afterwards, I will ask you about your experience of the healing and make notes and share anything I have picked up during the process. I may make some recommendations of things to do for self care in between sessions. I will ensure you are well grounded and in a state of full consciousness before departure.

FAQs

  • After a session, you may notice detox symptoms which can include sweating, tingling, trembling, increased urination or secretions. You may experience energy movement such as shivering, yawning, flatulence, feeling off balance or aching old injuries. You may experience rebalancing symptoms such as disrupted sleep or aggravated skin conditions. All of these are normal and should settle down within a few days.

    Energy healing may also bring up stagnant emotions or outdated thought patterns to the surface to heal. In this case, try to witness what is happening in the body without becoming attached to the mental story.

    If you have any questions regarding your healing experience I am here to support and offer you guidance.

  • It’s recommended to leave a minimum of one week between sessions as it takes that time to process the energy shifts within the body.

  • As a ‘complementary’ therapist, I make no pretensions of replacing conventional medicine and taking its place. The work we do together never excludes conventional medicine and the Registered Medical Doctor from patient care and treatment. If you are under the care of a doctor, I will seek a cooperative relationship with them, seeking their consent to work with you where appropriate.

     As laid out in the BAHA rules and regulations, I do not prescribe, diagnose, give medical advice, or countermand instructions or prescriptions given by a registered medical professional. Likewise, I make no claim to cure.

  • Absolutely. Our relationship is professional and confidentiality is of paramount importance. Anything disclosed in sessions will be kept strictly confidential.

    The only case in which it is appropriate to break confidentiality is if there is a threat to life, of yourself or others or suspicion of child abuse.

  • Absolutely. However, I will need written consent from your doctor or midwife to proceed with healing, either distant or in person.

  • Yes. When working with anyone under the age of 18, I will need to obtain their consent, and written consent from one or ideally both parents/guardians. It is best practice to have a third party present during sessions.

    In law, children under the age of 16 may also be able to request confidentiality in the same way as adults, depending on their age, maturity and understanding. Confidentiality is always subject to the consent of those with the parental responsibility for them. Please talk to me about this if you have any questions.

  • I am a fully accredited member of BAHA (British Alliance of Healing Associations) which upholds the highest standards within the profession, and guarantees my integrity, sincerity and ability. My name appears on their register of healers, and I am fully insured.

  • Before each healing session, I ground myself and connect with a higher source of light, love, and universal life force energy. This healing energy flows through my heart and hands into the person’s energy field, supporting balance and restoration. It knows where it’s needed — sometimes reaching back through the family line, or helping to heal parts of the soul that have been affected by past trauma. I also connect with trusted guides and angels to hold a safe and supportive space for the healing to unfold.

The healing sessions have been incredibly nurturing on many levels. During them I was extremely relaxed, both in-person and distant. Many topics and things to work on arose. After creating an intention to meet a new partner, I met someone amazing, and I started a relationship with him shortly after we started.

Julie-Anne is incredibly warm, empathic and knowledgeable. She listens actively and her feedback after the sessions is always so accurate and good to hear. She explains concepts in a really easy way, and she takes the time to talk with you before and after the session. It makes you feel that she has all the time and focus for you, it feels very welcome and caring. She also takes the time to suggest reading, courses, or self care. It’s so clear that she loves providing this sessions and she has a gift for it.

The space Julie-Anne provides feels almost sacred, and very special. She is very easy to trust so I could completely let go during the sessions and trust in her healing.

I will definitely recommend her, and I am looking forward to having more sessions with her in the future!
