Welcome to My Support Practice
This document contains important information about my approach and policies. Please read it carefully and note any questions you would like to discuss with me. Then, sign at the bottom of the page to indicate that you agree with the contents. I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with you.
As a support practitioner, I do not provide medical diagnoses or prescribe medication. My approach is holistic and considers you as a complex, dynamic, and unique being—body and mind—and I serve as a facilitator in your personal process.
My approach involves working with the body and energy field, as well as the consciousness associated with imbalances. I work directly with the energy field and through the body to promote self-discovery and identify what prevents you from fully enjoying life and being in your pure essence. This work is collaborative and requires your commitment to being curious and exploring yourself as we work together.
We will explore factors that influence your state of well-being, such as your health history, sources of stress in your life, attitudes, family, diet, exercise, and relationships.
The energy work technique through hands-on healing balances and recharges your energy field and clears accumulations that can eventually transform into discomfort and illness. This enhances your body’s self-healing potential. I work by laying hands on your body through touch or by working on your energy field above the body. Sometimes, I use sound to dissolve these accumulations. If, at any point, you feel uncomfortable, it is your responsibility to let me know. Taking care of yourself is an important aspect of your return to well-being.
Be aware that this work can bring up strong emotions. Due to the nature of this work, please do not attend sessions under the influence of alcohol and avoid consuming alcohol within 24 hours after the treatment.
Confidentiality
Everything you share is confidential. However, I sometimes discuss clients (without identifying them) with my supervisor or colleagues to support my professional development and better serve you.
By law, confidentiality will not be upheld in the following cases:
- If you pose a danger to yourself.
- If you pose an imminent danger to another person.
- If there is reason to believe that a child or elderly person is being abused or neglected.
Phone and Email
I try to respond to calls as soon as I am available.
Phone and email are not the best methods to address issues or emotions that may arise during a session. I treat any correspondence or calls from you as sacred. I will read the emails you send me, but I may not necessarily reply. I do not provide consultations by email unless we have made prior arrangements to do so.
Please be aware that emails are not confidential and can be intercepted on the internet. I cannot be held responsible if the information contained in email exchanges becomes public.
Phone calls lasting more than 10 minutes will be billed as a half-session, and those exceeding 30 minutes will be billed as a full session.

Following the implementation of Law 68, and unless otherwise notified by you, we consider that you consent to our recording in a file all the information you have communicated or will communicate to us, verbally or in writing. Additionally, unless otherwise notified by you via registered letter, we consider your consent valid for a period of five (5) years. Any information provided may be recorded in your file.

I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and I encourage you to share your concerns about this work.
