Q: What does a Healing Treatment with me involve, and how can you know whether it is right for you? A: Within any practitioner/client relationship each must trust that thay are aligned with the other. If the following tells you that we may be able to work together to your benefit, I will look forward to it. Otherwise, my wish for you is that you find the one(s) that can help you move forward. I bring a number of tools to the table, and— in calling in the highest in my guides and your guides to run the show in the name of your highest good— intuitively select the combination intended to achieve this for you. While you may come in with the intention of clearing certain things— blocks and barriers from the past, resistance, fear, etc.— it often occurs that Spirit has different priorities. Be clear what you intend to get out of a given session coming in… and then be willing to release that to the highest as well. The ultimate goal is that you keep all that serves you and release all that serves you no longer. I do find that the majority of my work in this area takes primarily one of two forms with, perhaps, individual adjustments within these. These are: The Oneness Intuitive Healing Treatment and the Free the Womb Healing Session. The Oneness— Intuitive Healing Treatment The Oneness Healing Treatment is a spiritual healing treatment that is intended to align the body, mind and spirit with the divine will of the soul; to bring forth the divine light where it has dimmed or been traumatized in some some way. We know that there is only one divine energy and that energy lives within all things. Aligning this energy and bringing all energy into the present moment is the purpose of the Oneness Treatment. The Oneness Healing Session begins with a short consultation to gather a few facts and to do an energy reading on the client who is seeking treatment. Once the session is opened, Joan holds the space of facilitator and allows information to come to her to help move, release, and assist the re-alignment of the soul's energy. Joan is a specialist in working with plant spirit medicine and will use different aspects of the plant medicine and connection with Spirit and all of her guides to facilitate the healing session. The body is anointed with healing oils on the chakra points. Flower essences are used to assist in moving the energy, as well as herbal tinctures and auric mists to cleanse the energy fields. The Oneness Healing Session is a collaborative effort between the client and Joan. Joan may receive intuitive messages and these will guide the session. The goal is to release blocked energy, emotional trauma, etc. so that the will of the soul may be fully expressed through the client. The client may experience different emotions, body sensations, emotional release, so the re-alignment can happen. It is very important after treatment to take time away from others, rest, drink water, take a warm bath and allow a few days for integration of the energy. Oneness Healing Session— $125.00 This treatment can be done in person or long distance. Free the Womb Healing Session This healing treatment focuses on clearing the womb from any trauma, un-healthy patterns, addictions, etc, that may be associated with what was going on in the womb when conceived and for the nine months in the womb as well as with womb associations from past lives, as well as karmic patterns. This is an extremely powerful treatment that helps to cut the ties of the mother/child, for more healthy expression of the sacred self and allows the freedom of a rebirth to happen. This is an esoteric healing treatment and can be down long distance or in person. Cost of the treatment— $125.00 first session, $95.00 after the first session (3 sessions are recommended). Example of the benefits of a womb healing: A mother is addicted to her self image and while carrying a child— does not want to gain weight or does not want to be pregnant. The child may carry that energy and become anorexic or have an eating disorder of some kind. The child may have a pattern of choosing relationships where she gets abandoned or feels unwanted. Working with the energy fields, and breaking the emotional ties from mother to child womb energy allows for the energetic pattern to be released and a rebirth to happen. The Changing Face of Healing It is my experience that healing looks different now than it did even months ago. It no longer has to be as long and torturous. I am finding that those who come prepared to let go of that which no longer serves them, are having amazing results and shifts. Blessed Be! Client History Sheet First-time Clients!
