INTUITIVE HEALING INFORMED CONSENT

 INTUITIVE ENERGY MEDICINE

Thank you for considering working with me. This document contains important information about Liz Potter and what you can expect during our sessions.  Please read it carefully and ask any questions you might have.  If you decide to proceed and sign this document, it will represent a formal agreement between us.

WHAT IS INTUITIVE ENERGY MEDICINE?

Intuitive Energy Medicine is an approach that involves balancing and restoring your body’s natural energies for the purposes of increasing your vitality, strengthening your mental capacities, and optimizing your health.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE 

My Intuitive Healing work began after I was received training through Lisa Powers’ Reiki Master Course.  As I began to grow my Reiki practice, I became aware of my ability to see a person’s inner energy, like a weather man sees a storm on a radar. As I would discuss my observations with my clients, they would corroborate my findings.  Not long after that began, I started to receive input from my client’s body/energy indicating where/what the concerns stem from. Subsequently. I started asking the body for ways for the client and I could work together to mitigate the concern. This is now what has come to be my Intuitive Energy Healing.  My skills, abilities and knowledge are in constant evolution and growth. 

OUR WORK TOGETHER

You can expect me to approach my work with you in a professional manner, to honor scheduled appointment times, and to treat information I learn about you as confidential.

Intuitive Energy Medicine techniques bring disturbed energies back to a state of balance and harmony. These corrections will generally consist of various forms of light or deeper touch and of movement of my hands within your body’s energy field (aura).  Prior to our initial session I will show you a “map” of the primary hand placements used in Reiki session. Stemming from the intuitive side of the session, your body may tell me to apply pressure on certain areas of your body using one or two finger tips. I will tell you prior to placement and request permission.  If you are uncomfortable with being touched or with any of the procedures being used, please tell me immediately and I will instantly stop. If anything changes from session to session it is your responsibility to inform me. 

While the methods I will be using are gentle and considered non-invasive, it is possible that physical or emotional after-effects may occur after your energies have been stimulated and adjusted. In some instances, deeper pressure is used to move energies that may be blocked or congested in a particular area of the body, and this may cause some pain or discomfort. Dizziness, nausea, or anxiety are relatively unusual but not unheard-of side-effects to energy work. If any procedure is uncomfortable or leads to discomfort, please tell me immediately. I will instantly stop if you request me to do so. 

OTHER ASPECTS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP

Questions. Please ask me questions about anything that happens in our work together. I'm always willing to discuss how and why I’m doing what I'm doing. 

Touch.  Physical contact, even in a healing relationship, can be a sensitive matter because touch can be easily misinterpreted and feel too intimate, uncomfortable, or sexual in nature. Touching in a sexual manner is unethical within a professional healing relationship and will never be a part of our work together. Many of the methods I will use, however, are likely to involve touch. The theory behind such methods is that touching or holding points can assist me and you in identifying and shifting imbalances in your energies. At such times, you would remain fully clothed, with perhaps the exception of your shoes. I would always explain ahead of time where I would touch, and you shall let me know if you are comfortable with it or not. I will always honor any requests not to touch.

Communication: You are always in control of your session whether or not it's completed via remote options, or in person.  You are obligated to communicate with me your concerns,  discomforts & needs.  If you are ever uncomfortable with any aspect of your therapy or healing you are obligated to inform me immediately.
