JOYWELLE

ENERGY HEALING CONSENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT

JoyWelle provides clients intuitive energy healing sessions and spiritual coaching including Reiki, Breathwork, Meditation, mindset work, Coaching/Guidance, and Clairvoyant / Intuitive Reading + Healing. Modalities are a gentle, complementary, energy-based approach to health and healing that can assist in bringing a body to its natural ability to heal. During the intuitive energy healing sessions including Reiki and Breathwork, practitioners consciously use their hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to support and facilitate physical, emotional, energetic, mental and spiritual health and healing. JoyWelle provides a holistic, complementary, and integrative energy-based approach that is accomplished through the practitioner’s use of contact and/or non-contact touch and a heart-centered state of being, as well as guided breathwork and energy practices. The healing traditions of many cultures emphasize the importance of subtle energy systems that flow through and around the human body, affecting its health and vitality. Many of these traditions stress that balancing these energy fields can assist the body, mind and spirit in moving towards and maintaining wellness.

During an Intuitive Energy Healing Session, the practitioner will assess any imbalances in the energy field. The practitioner may choose an energy healing technique and/or combination thereof that is appropriate for the individual client’s needs. This may include reiki, guided breathwork practice, guided meditation and / or light physical touch or sweeping hand motion above the body. There is a high likelihood that the client will experience the relaxation response during the session. A feedback discussion will follow. People have many different responses to energy healing. Some clients feel nothing at all. Others describe sensations of moving energy, feelings of hot or cold, deep relaxation, feelings of being supported and nurtured, or visions of images and colors. Some clients experience an emotional release such as tears; some have what they consider to be a spiritual experience, or they may develop insight into specific areas of their lives. Clients have reported experiencing the relaxation response and often report an increased sense of well-being and peace. JoyWelle cannot make specific claims regarding the results a client may experience from an energy healing session.

Clairvoyant / Intuitive Reading + Healing sessions are conversational in nature and information the healer/reader may receive is shared for the client to consider, to develop awareness around, and to support deeper healing and self-actualization.

For breathwork focused sessions, a breathwork pattern will be guided by the practitioner. You understand that breathwork is a natural method of balancing energy for the purpose of relaxation and reducing stress. You understand your risks of participating in a session where you will be practicing breathwork that may bring up emotions, trauma, discomfort, growth, expansion, and elation. You are not pregnant and have no known medical concerns that may limit your participation. As a precaution, the following conditions are contraindicated for anyone thinking of practicing breathwork in a group setting whether online or in a workshop.

• Pregnancy

• High blood pressure (not controlled with medication)

• Cardiovascular disease including angina, previous heart attack or stroke

• Detached retina

• Glaucoma

 JoyWelle and Lisa Caruso do not diagnose or treat disease and we are not physicians, nor do we interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional. JoyWelle does not prescribe substances. The sessions are not a substitute for medical or psychological diagnosis or treatment from a qualified health practitioner for illnesses, injuries, or other medical conditions. It is recommended that you see a licensed physician or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment you may have. Any recommendations made before, during and after each session are merely suggestions and the client is solely responsible for their actions after a session. JoyWelle is not responsible for any actions you take as a result of or in response to any of our services. It is understood that energy healing can complement any medical or psychological care you may be receiving. It is also understood that the body has the ability to heal itself and to do so, complete relaxation is often beneficial. It is acknowledged that long term imbalances in the body may require multiple sessions in order to facilitate the level of relaxation needed by the body to heal itself and bring the body back into balance.

 These are client-centered practices in which the practitioner is highly trained to assist and guide the client. Nevertheless, the Services may not be regulated by any government or administrative entity. I understand that Lisa Caruso of JoyWelle has completed Reiki Master Certification, Breathwork Facilitator Certification, and Psychic Intuitive Certification programs.
