FAQs
While there can be overlap between the two, counselling primarily focuses on conversation, emotional processing, and psychological frameworks.
The work offered through The Heart Chakra is more experiential and body-focused. Rather than spending most of the session talking through events or problems, we work directly with your internal experience in real time—through awareness, emotional resonance, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and energy work.
These sessions often involve periods of silence, inward attention, and noticing what arises emotionally and physically in the body.
I also work as a Registered Social Worker and counsellor separately. Counselling services and spiritual services are offered independently and differ in structure, scope, and professional framework.
No. Many people approach this work psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, symbolically, or simply as a reflective and experiential process.
What matters most is not adopting a particular belief system, but whether the experience helps you feel more aware, connected, emotionally clear, or better able to understand yourself.
Curiosity and openness are enough.
Chakra readings use the chakra system as a reflective framework for exploring emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, beliefs, and internal states.
Rather than focusing only on analysis or conversation, the process involves paying attention to your experience as a whole—your emotions, bodily sensations, intuitive responses, memories, and the patterns that arise throughout the session.
Many people experience the process as a combination of reflection, emotional resonance, mindfulness, intuitive observation, and energetic awareness. Whether you interpret the experience psychologically, symbolically, spiritually, or intuitively matters less than whether it helps you better understand yourself and your patterns.
Sessions are calm, collaborative, and guided by your experience in the moment.
Depending on the type of session, we may spend time exploring emotional patterns, bodily sensations, beliefs, or relationship dynamics. Energy work sessions also involve guided awareness and energetic practices intended to help the body and nervous system settle, release tension, and shift emotional states.
Some sessions involve more conversation and reflection, while others are quieter and more inward.
Experiences vary from person to person, and there is no “correct” way to experience a session.
Some people notice physical sensations such as warmth, tingling, heaviness releasing, emotional movement, or a deep sense of relaxation. Others become aware of thoughts, memories, emotions, or relationship patterns they hadn’t fully recognized before.
At times, people experience moments of clarity, emotional release, calm, grief, relief, or a stronger sense of connection to themselves. Some experiences feel subtle and gradual, while others feel more immediate or emotionally significant.
Many people also notice shifts continuing after the session—feeling mentally lighter, more emotionally open, more grounded, or more aware of patterns and choices in their daily life.
What matters most is not having a dramatic experience, but allowing yourself to stay present with whatever genuinely arises.
Yes. People sometimes experience emotional release during or after sessions. This can look different for everyone and may include things like crying, unexpected emotions surfacing, physical sensations releasing, feelings of relief, or a deep sense of calm or openness afterward.
These experiences are not forced or expected, but can naturally occur when attention is brought to emotions, tension, or patterns that may have been held beneath the surface for a long time.
Experiences can also be subtle. Not every session involves a dramatic emotional release, and meaningful shifts often happen gradually over time.
Energy Work sessions are generally more focused on shifting your emotional and physical state directly—helping you relax, release tension, process emotions, and reconnect with yourself experientially.
Chakra Readings are more insight-oriented and reflective. They focus more on recognizing emotional patterns, subconscious dynamics, relationship themes, and the deeper structures influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
Many people choose to combine both approaches.
This work is often most helpful for people who feel emotionally stuck, disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by recurring emotional patterns, or drawn toward deeper self-understanding and personal growth.
People commonly seek sessions for things like:
- recurring relationship patterns
- emotional overwhelm or stress
- difficulty trusting themselves
- feeling disconnected, blocked, or emotionally numb
- self-worth and identity struggles
- nervous system dysregulation
- grief, emotional heaviness, or unresolved experiences
- spiritual exploration and self-awareness
This work is generally best suited for people who are open to reflective, experiential, and emotionally-focused approaches to healing and growth.
It varies from person to person.
Some people book a single session to explore the experience or work through a specific issue, while others choose to engage more regularly as part of an ongoing process of healing, self-understanding, or personal growth.
Because this work is experiential and unfolds differently for everyone, there is no required number of sessions or fixed program. Some people notice meaningful shifts quickly, while others find that deeper patterns gradually become clearer over time through continued reflection and practice.
The focus is not on dependency or long-term commitment, but on supporting meaningful and sustainable change in a way that feels right for you.
Absolutely. Many people use this work alongside counselling, psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, or other forms of personal growth and healing. Because this approach is experiential and body-focused, it can sometimes complement insight-based or conversation-based work in a meaningful way.
Some people find that emotional patterns they intellectually understand in therapy become easier to feel, process, and shift more directly through experiential practices.
While I also work as a Registered Social Worker and counsellor, counselling services and spiritual services are offered separately and differ in structure, scope, and professional framework. If someone wishes to engage in both types of work with me, they would take place in separate sessions with clear distinctions between the approaches.
No. These services are intended to support self-awareness, emotional well-being, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and personal or spiritual growth. They are not a replacement for medical care, psychotherapy, crisis support, or mental health treatment when those are needed.
Many people use this work alongside counselling, therapy, or healthcare support.
Most sessions are completely non-touch.
Energy work is typically done using the hands above and around the body rather than through physical contact. If touch is ever discussed or considered, it would always be optional, clearly communicated, and approached with consent and comfort as the priority.

No.
While this work draws inspiration from mindfulness traditions, meditation practices, and contemplative philosophy, it is not tied to any religion or spiritual belief system.
People from many different backgrounds—including secular and non-spiritual perspectives—engage with this work in ways that feel personally meaningful to them.
That’s completely okay. You do not need to fully understand or explain the process intellectually for it to feel meaningful or helpful.
Many people approach sessions with curiosity rather than certainty. The focus is less on convincing you to believe something, and more on whether the experience itself feels grounding, insightful, emotionally resonant, or supportive.
I have been practicing energy work and meditation for many years and have also studied psychology, mindfulness, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and counselling approaches extensively.
In addition to my spiritual work, I am also a Registered Social Worker and counsellor. My approach bridges experiential, psychological, somatic, and contemplative perspectives in a grounded and integrative way.
