TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms & Conditions are included from a professional perspective; to give my clients and students a perspective and framework of the high standards I have, alongside the knowledge I provide my services with love and from a deeply spiritual place. These also help me comply, only partly, with insurance and the law. You will see many of them, are added for Spiritual Standards.

Healing: Please note that if you are suffering with a long term physical or emotionally disabling condition I will recommend a long term treatment of Reiki in order to facilitate your healing long term. It takes us years often to become so ill, and we must allow ourselves the time & space to heal.

Galilean Healing: In order to achieve the results you wish, you must commit to the home study portion of the treatment, as much as the sessions with me. This treatment centres on putting the power back in your hands.

If you have more than one area in your life blocked, I will recommend multiple Root cause treatments. This ensures that each area is addressed fully & you do not give yourself more change than you can handle at one time.

Non refundable. Once a programme has begun, full payment is expected.

Deposits: I charge a deposit for all workshops and events minimally (with the remaining balance to be paid a week before the workshop) and may ask for the full ticket price in advance for some workshops; depending on price.

I also ask for deposits or full payment on healing and reading appointments.

This deposit or pre-booked ticket reflects your commitment, just in the same way that I commit to reserving your place and preparing workbooks, paying for venues in advance, or not giving your reading or healing slot to someone else, preparing for your appointment etc.

After paying a deposit or an invoice being issued, unless it is within 3 weeks of the workshop, you have 14 days to ask for a refund. Our contract begins a week before your workshop, as this is when the preparation for the workshop begins, and this is when your balance is due. This is your legal right.

After that they are non-refundable and non-transferable; except in exceptional circumstances which I will judge on a case by case basis. Or if you have someone to take your place.

Unless I cancel the workshop due to unforeseen circumstances in which case an alternative date and/or refund will of course be provided. Covid exceptions apply.

Appointment Cancellation: I kindly ask for at least 48 hours notice if you wish to cancel an appointment for a one-to-one session. This is because, as you can imagine, I commit to setting that time aside for you and your needs. In return I ask for this notice period so that I have an opportunity to offer the appointment elsewhere; in order to allow someone to be treated quicker (who I may have had to put off for weeks in some cases), to organise my time efficiently and to mitigate my financial loss. As a self-employed individual I rely on the courtesy of my clients in this regard.

Pricing: I charge what I feel is appropriate for an energy exchange for time and work. If you would like me to travel outside my local area I will need to charge extra for petrol and time. I provide full and indepth training, workbooks and ongoing support for all my students and clients.

I price my Reiki One as competitively as I can afford to, in relation to the content I provide in comparison to other Teachers. I do this as it is my true wish for everyone to be aware of their energy and participate actively in their own healing journey. The professional qualifications I offer in addition are priced relative to the fact they are professional qualifications which will enable you to earn if you wish to.

On the personal healing workshops (Reiki One, Regression workshops and the like), I maybe able to offer you a discount if you are suffering financial hardship. For example evidence of being on benefits or being retired. Each case is assessed on a case by case circumstance, please ask if you would like me to consider this for you. They are given from the goodness of my heart where I can. Please note they do not extend to professional workshops and qualifications, or one to one work.

I offer many of my community groups at non-profit and offer house clearance for donation only.

Insurance Terms and Conditions: As you would expect I am fully insured and can produce evidence if you require it.

In order to comply with the terms and conditions of my insurance I must state that ‘readings are for entertainment purposes only’. Please note that this statement does not take away from how seriously I take my work or how important I feel it is.

If you would like to see evidence of certificates of any of my qualifications, including my Reiki lineage back to Usui himself, then these are available.

Delivery: For shop items delivery to the UK mainland, postage and packaging, is charged for Smaller Items at £1.80 and £3.45 for larger items. Royal Mail Second Class Delivery; if you would like quicker delivery please ask. Postage is combined for multiples items in an order . For Orders over £65 delivery is free.
