General Queries
What is healing and how does it work?
Reiki healing, spiritual healing and chakra balancing all work with gentle healing energy to support balance in the body’s energy centres and encourage calm, relaxation and wellbeing.​
​
Whichever type of healing you choose, the session is always adapted to your individual needs on the day. In our experience, the appropriate energy flows to where it is most needed.
​
Healing sessions are available in person at our private therapy room or remotely, where you can receive distant healing in the comfort of your own home. Many clients tell us they feel comfortable during remote sessions, as spiritual energy is not limited by time or space.​
​
Sessions can focus on particular areas of concern and may support you on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. As healing can work across these levels at the same time, many find it supportive for their overall sense of wellbeing.
​​​​
For your first healing treatment with us, we recommend a minimum 45-minute session, which includes an initial consultation, by video call if remote, so we can tailor the experience for you.
​
​
What can I expect during a private healing session?
Healing sessions can be deeply calming and gentle, helping to support a sense of balance and wellbeing.
You simply relax on our professional healing couch while the healer places their hands lightly over different areas such as the head, shoulders, waist, arms and legs. Crystals may also be used to support the flow of energy, chosen intuitively for each session.
For remote sessions, we suggest finding a quiet place to rest while the healing is being sent.
​
We always aim to help you feel comfortable throughout the session, and many clients say they feel relaxed and at ease during the healing.
​
The final part of the session includes feedback, by video call if remote, where we share impressions and offer gentle spiritual guidance where appropriate.​ Many people describe feeling calm, settled or more centred afterwards.
Each person experiences healing in their own way. Some notice a shift during the session, while others become aware of subtle changes in the days that follow.
​
As healers, we allow the healing energy to flow gently. While we always aim to help our clients, we cannot promise or determine any particular outcome.
In our experience, the energy often flows to where it is most needed at the time, which may be different from what you had in mind. The best approach is to stay open minded, let go of preconceived ideas and allow the session to unfold naturally.
​
How long should I continue to have healing sessions?
​How long you continue with healing is entirely your choice. Many people like to have a block of sessions and then review how they feel, while others prefer to book from time to time when they feel it would be helpful. There is no set number of sessions, as each person's needs and circumstances are different.
​
Many clients say they feel calmer, more centred or generally uplifted after a session. Healing is a personal process and everyone experiences it in their own way.
​
Can healing support people with long-term health conditions?
Healing can support a sense of balance and wellbeing, and many people find it helps them feel calmer and more settled within themselves.
Healing works with the body's energy system rather than focusing solely on the physical body. For this reason, people facing a range of circumstances or challenges sometimes choose it as a gentle, supportive addition to their usual care. Each person experiences healing in their own way.
​
When someone is living with a long-term health condition, healing can offer a sense of comfort, peace or emotional support. Some describe it as helping them feel more understood and reassured during a challenging time.
Any spiritual guidance that arises is shared with sensitivity and aims to support the person in whatever way feels right for them.
​
​
How should I prepare for a reading or healing session?
Sessions are available in person at our private therapy room or remotely by video call. Mediumship readings are with either Faye or Robin, both experienced international mediums. Robin also offers our tarot readings. ​
​
Availability is typically around a week away, or longer at busier times. Session times update live as bookings are made across our services, so we recommend booking in advance for the widest choice.
​
On the day of your session, simply arrive with an open mind. We are a friendly bunch and aim to help you feel at ease from the moment you step in. We explain everything clearly so you know what to expect.
For healing sessions, comfortable clothing and minimal perfumes or aftershaves are usually best, as this can help you relax more easily.
​
We encourage clients to let go of any expectations about how things should feel, as every session is different and people experience them in their own way.
​
You are welcome to ask any questions during your session. Many clients say they feel calmer or more centred afterwards.
​
How do you create a calm space for sessions?
To help keep your session calm, personal and fully focused, all sessions are booked individually as private one-to-one sessions for one person at a time. Availability updates live as sessions are requested across our services, so the calendar adjusts automatically.
As experienced mediums and healers, we take care to create a safe, positive and relaxing environment for every session. In spiritual practice, energy is often understood as having different qualities and characteristics, so we work with protection as part of our practice.
Our private therapy room is kept calm and energetically cleared using crystals and gentle clearing techniques. Many clients tell us they feel peaceful and settled in the space.​
If you feel drawn to it, visualising yourself surrounded by light can help you feel grounded and supported. This approach is gentle, reassuring and easy to use, both during sessions and in everyday life.
​
Why do people consult mediums and psychics?
People come to us for different reasons. Some seek clarity around work, relationships, family or life choices, while others are looking for reassurance, guidance or a sense of connection.
​
Mediumship readings can offer a gentle spiritual perspective by linking with those in the spirit, sharing messages of comfort, reassurance and guidance. This can help people understand what feels right for them and what their next steps might be.
Oracle cards can also be used during mediumship readings to offer intuitive life path guidance.
Tarot cards offer a focused psychic reading that explores where you are in life and the influences around you.
​
We all have free will, and it is always up to each person to decide what feels right for them. Many clients tell us that having a reading helps them see things more clearly so they can move forward with more confidence.
​​
​
How do private one-to-one readings work?
For the best experience, our readings are private one-to-one sessions and are booked individually for one person at a time. This helps create a deeper personal connection and clearer insights tailored just for you.
Availability updates live as sessions are requested across our services, so the calendar adjusts automatically, helping keep each session calm and fully focused.
​
Mediumship readings work through a gentle blending of energy. The medium raises their energy and spirit adjusts theirs so a connection can be made. This creates a spiritual link based on unconditional love, allowing the medium to sense information from those in spirit.
​
Our mediums may work with a mix of spiritual senses, such as clear seeing, sensing, feeling or hearing, and use these to share messages of reassurance, upliftment and gentle guidance from spirit loved ones and guides.
​
Oracle cards can also be used during mediumship readings to offer intuitive life path guidance.
Tarot cards provide a focused psychic reading with no spirit contact, using pictorial cards to explore where you are in life, including past and present influences and any that may be coming in.
​
What sort of messages can I expect in a reading?
Messages in our mediumship readings are personal to each client and are brought through with care and sensitivity. Our mediums blend with the energy of spirit to share information that may include feelings, memories, personalities, objects or moments that help you recognise who may be communicating.
Alongside this, you may receive gentle guidance that relates to what is happening in your life at the time.
​
Every reading is unique. The medium’s own personality blends with the communicator, which means the style of the message can vary from one reading to another. Some details may feel very specific, while others may come through more subtly.
Many clients find that the combination of evidence and gentle guidance helps bring reassurance and a sense of connection.
​​
As mediums, we allow the spiritual link to flow naturally. While we always aim to help our clients, we cannot guarantee or choose who may connect or what information may come through, as the link is guided by spirit.
In our experience, spirit brings through what is needed at the time, which may be different from what you had in mind. We do not claim to be fortune tellers or to predict the future. Sometimes future-related insights may arise naturally, although this cannot be promised.
The best approach is to stay open minded, let go of preconceived ideas and allow the session to unfold naturally.
​
​
How can card readings help me?
​​​Oracle cards are intuitive tools the medium may use during a reading to offer gentle guidance and insight. They can be helpful when you are exploring your life path, making decisions or moving through a period of change.
The messages reflect the meaning of the chosen cards and are brought through to support your own intuition and sense of direction. Many find that the symbolism of the cards helps them understand what feels right for them at the time.
​
Tarot cards offer a focused psychic reading with no spirit contact. The pictorial cards can offer insight into where you are in life, how past influences have shaped your path, and what influences may be coming towards you.

​
Will my religion or personal beliefs affect my session?
People’s religion or personal beliefs do not affect the experience of a reading or healing session with us. We work with a gentle, universal energy that is not linked to any specific religion or belief system.
Our sessions are offered with care, compassion and intuitive awareness, helping you feel comfortable whatever your background or beliefs may be.
