Frequently Asked Questions
At this time, sessions in Reiki, Breathwork, Spinal Energetics, and Ceremonial Cacao Meditation are not covered under Medicare. These are holistic and energetic healing modalities that fall outside the current Medicare Benefits Schedule. Many clients find the investment in their emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing to be deeply worthwhile — and we are happy to discuss session options to find what works for you.
We are not currently registered with any private health fund, so sessions cannot be claimed through private health insurance at this time. We recommend checking directly with your provider regarding their policy on complementary and holistic therapies, as this can vary. We will always be transparent about our fees so you can plan accordingly.
Breathwork refers to a range of intentional breathing practices used to support physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Conscious Connected Breathwork — the modality offered here — is a powerful rhythmic technique where the inhale and exhale are connected in a continuous, unbroken flow. This sustained breathing pattern helps activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, allowing suppressed emotions, stress, and trauma to surface and release safely. Sessions are held in a nurturing, guided environment and are known to enhance emotional wellbeing, reduce anxiety, and create a profound sense of inner clarity, relaxation, and self-awareness.
Diaphragmatic breathing — also known as belly breathing or deep breathing — is the practice of breathing fully into the lower lungs by engaging the diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle beneath the lungs. Unlike shallow chest breathing, diaphragmatic breathing draws air deep into the body, slowing the breath and activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This naturally reduces stress hormones, lowers the heart rate, and promotes a state of calm. It forms the physiological foundation of many breathwork practices and is one of the most accessible tools available for nervous system regulation, anxiety relief, and overall respiratory health.
Reiki offers a wide range of benefits for those seeking holistic healing and stress relief. By channelling life force energy through the practitioner to the client, Reiki helps to align the body’s energy centres, clear energetic blockages, and support the body’s innate ability to heal. Clients commonly report a deep sense of calm, improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and greater emotional balance following a session. Reiki is also valued for its ability to support healing on multiple levels simultaneously — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual — making it a powerful complement to conventional health care and a meaningful standalone practice for those seeking renewal and inner harmony.
Spinal Energetics offers a unique and deeply holistic approach to healing by working with the body’s energetic flow along the spine. Benefits reported by clients include relief from chronic physical tension, a greater sense of ease and alignment in the body, emotional release, and a strengthened mind-body connection. By addressing both the physical and energetic layers of held stress and trauma, Spinal Energetics supports lasting shifts that go beyond symptom relief — helping clients feel more free, grounded, and connected to themselves. It is particularly valued by those who feel stuck in patterns of tension, fatigue, or emotional heaviness.
Spinal Energetics works directly with the energetic pathways along the spine — the very channel through which the central nervous system communicates with the rest of the body. By releasing stored tension and trauma held within the spine and surrounding tissue, the practice can help shift the nervous system out of prolonged states of stress, hypervigilance, or freeze response. Many clients experience a noticeable softening and settling during and after sessions, reflecting a transition toward greater parasympathetic (rest and restore) activation. Over time, regular sessions may support improved nervous system regulation, reduced reactivity, and a greater capacity for rest, connection, and ease.
Ceremonial cacao contains several naturally occurring compounds that are known to support mood and emotional wellbeing. These include theobromine — a gentle stimulant that promotes feelings of warmth and alertness — as well as phenylethylamine (PEA), which is associated with elevated mood, and anandamide, often called the “bliss molecule.” Cacao also contains magnesium and is a source of tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin. While these properties make cacao a deeply supportive plant medicine for heart opening, emotional clarity, and inner reflection, it is important to note that cacao is not a clinical treatment for depression or any medical condition. If you are experiencing mental health challenges, please seek support from a qualified health professional in addition to exploring complementary practices.
