Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Below are common questions from my clients. If you don't find your answer, feel free to contact me directly. I’m here to help and provide all the information you need for a successful healing experience.

What is the difference between a 60min and a 120min massage?

During a Thai massage of 60 min you have the choice between a focus on your back or a focus on your legs. A Thai massage of 120 min is a full-body massage, where I take care of both upper and lower body.

Do you offer remote Reiki sessions?

Yes, Reiki sessions can be conducted remotely as the energy is not limited by distance. The process and benefits are similar to in-person sessions. However, my style is to offer Reiki sessions in presence, where I can really create and hold a safe space for you. If you don't have the possibility to come to the practice, please get in touch with me and we will arrange an session tailored to your needs.

What are the potential benefits of Reiki?

Benefits can potentially include relief from stress, anxiety, depression, and pain; improved sleep; accelerated healing; enhanced energy flow; increased intuition and creativity; and emotional and spiritual growth.

What should I do after a Reiki session?

After a session, it's best to rest, drink plenty of water, and avoid any strenuous activities. This helps your body integrate the experience. Taking some quiet time for reflection can also be beneficial.

How often should I get a Thai massage?

There are no strict guidelines on how often you should get a Thai massage. If you're trying to solve a chronic problem, I recommend weekly treatments for at least 4-6 weeks. Otherwise, monthly visits could work just fine. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide how often you receive Thai massages, but this healing art is also traditionally used as a preventive measure to maintain the body and the energetic system in harmony to prevent illness. Regular sessions are therefore recommended.

Do I need to bring something specific with me for a Thai massage?

Yes, you will need to bring fresh and comfy clothes to wear just for the session: a t-shirt with a small neck opening that covers your shoulders completely, as well as long pants that are not too thick (joggers or pajama style).

How should I prepare for a Thai massage?

Please come to the session freshly showered, especially your feet, that will be manipulated often during the massage. Your last meal should be light and take place at least 2h beforehand.

Should I come to the Reiki session with a specific intention?

It really depends on the reason why you want to experience a Reiki session. You can come with a specific intention if you need to process emotions for example, if you need to let go of something that's bothering you... You can come with the intention to relax yourself as much as possible and offer yourself a time out from the intensity of life, Or you can simply come with a fully open mindset to welcome whatever arises during the experience.

Do I need to bring something specific with me for a Reiki session?

Yes, you will need to bring fresh and comfy clothes to wear just for the session. I recommend bringing warm clothes since we often get cold during a Reiki session. A really good pair of socks is always appreciated, as the feet are generally the first to become cold.

How do I need to prepare myself for a Reiki session?

Please come to the session freshly showered, especially your feet, that will be manipulated often during the massage. Your last meal should be light and take place at least 2h beforehand.

What does a Reiki session include?

Each session includes 15 minutes of consultation at the beginning to understand your wishes and intentions as well as to help you settle for the journey. It is followed by 6o min of Reiki and 15 min of integration and exchange at the end.

How often should I get a Reiki session?

This vary for one person to the other. In general, regular sessions every 2-4 weeks are recommended for deeper and longer-term results, especially if you're going through challenging times. This can help you keep your being in balance and feel more grounded.

What follow-up care do you offer after a psychotherapy session?

I always make sure to ground the person as much as possible before ending the session - online or in presence. The person always has the possibility to contact me per email or message in the hours following the consultation in case of emergency. I will myself analyse the situation to understand what kind of support the person needs in the moment.

How do you ensure patient confidentiality and privacy?

I comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding patient confidentiality, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU. All consultations take place in a private, secure setting to ensure that discussions and treatments remain confidential. Patient records are stored securely in a locked and protected system, whether they are in digital or paper form. Access to these records is restricted to me only. Any digital patient information is stored on encrypted servers to protect against unauthorized access. I request explicit consent before sharing any information with other healthcare providers or third parties, unless required by law.

How often should I get a psychotherapy session?

It depends on the challenges that you are facing at the moment. In case of emergencies, 2 sessions per week could be required, but my general recommendation is to keep it to 1 session per week. You need enough time to process and integrate what has been addressed in each session in order to make significant progress.

What is the typical process for a first consultation of psychotherapy?

After booking your first consultation, you’ll need to complete a detailed medical history questionnaire before our session. This will give me an initial overview of your health and serve as a basis for defining the first version of a healing plan during the session. The session will also be an opportunity for both of us to determine if we are a good match – it is important that we both agree that we can potentially have a fruitful collaboration.

Do you offer psychotherapy sessions online?

Yes. There is the possibility to have psychotherapy sessions online from Tuesday to Friday. The sessions are taking place through a specific software of Doctolib that ensures the highest compliance in terms of data protection.

Are your services covered by health insurance?

The costs of a session with a Heilpraktiker are in general not covered by the health insurances. Some private insurances are sometimes covering part of the costs, but it is rather an exception. I kindly ask you to clarify how it works with your own personal insurance before starting with our sessions if you want to be sure to be covered.

Can your services replace conventional medical treatment?

As a Heilpraktiker, my services are complementary and do not replace conventional medical treatment. I do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. Always consult with a licensed healthcare provider for medical advice and treatment.

These services can be booked individually, but they work synergistically in the therapy I provide.

What is a Heilpraktiker?

The term "Heilpraktiker" refers to a naturopath in Germany, but not just any naturopath! A Heilpraktiker must undergo rigorous education. This is not a practitioner with a few weeks of internships or some correspondence courses who then "hangs up a shingle," as is unfortunately common in many countries. A Heilpraktiker is in general trained over at least 3500h of studies in Germany. You can learn more about it by readind this article.

How often should I get a holistic health coaching session?

The first 2 sessions could be done over a week, the following sessions on a monthly basis or every 3 months for example. In any case, the plan will be specifically tailored to your needs.

Is there any requirement for an Astrology session?

You need to be able to provide a reliable date, time (as precise as possible) and place of birth. It is absolutely necessary if you want your reading to be as accurate as possible.
