Client Safety 


Safe, respectful, consent-based care

Stillness Meditation Touch Therapy is offered in a calm, respectful and professional setting. Sessions support relaxation, stillness, emotional settling and general wellbeing.

You remain in control at all times. The session process is explained before it begins, and nothing is done without your consent.


Touch and non-touch options

Meditative Touch Therapy may involve gentle, still touch, hands held near the body, or a completely non-touch approach.You may choose touch, hover/non-touch, seated or lying down work or to pause or stop the session at any time. You do not need to give a reason.

Limits of this service

This service supports relaxation and wellbeing. It does not replace medical, psychological or psychiatric care.

I do not diagnose, prescribe, advise you to stop treatment, or claim to treat serious illness. Please continue care from your doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist or other registered health practitioner where needed.  My noninvasive meditative touch therapies are an option that work in cooperation with these conventional treatments. I also encourage you to inform your conventional healthcare providers you are learning Stillness Meditation or receiving Meditative Touch Therapy. Your provider can then take this into account when your condition changes and they are considering if pharmaceutical drugs or other treatments need to be modified.
