FAQ
Questions are welcome.
The work can be unfamiliar. These answers are meant to make the process clearer without pretending every session unfolds the same way.
Donations & testimonials
Why are sessions donation-based?
I want to give each session the time and attention it needs, without shaping the work around a fixed duration or an expected result. Donations allow you to contribute afterward, taking into account both what you feel you received and your financial circumstances.
How long does a session last?
Sessions are usually 30 minutes and may extend to 45 minutes when more time is needed for the work or to discuss the approach being taken. Please allow up to 45 minutes. Some sessions may reach a natural conclusion sooner; a shorter session does not necessarily mean less meaningful work has taken place.
How much should I donate, and when?
There is no fixed amount. If you choose to donate, consider what you feel you received and what you can comfortably afford. Donations are accepted after the session, with payment options shared by email.
Do I need to donate or provide a testimonial?
No. Donations and testimonials are both entirely optional. You are welcome to receive a session without providing either. If you wish to share an honest reflection, you may choose to use your full name, first name, initials, or remain anonymous. Nothing is published automatically.
What can I explore at Heart Horizons?
Heart Horizons offers spiritual guidance and shared exploration to help you develop your own connection to spirit. You learn through experience, with space to practise, ask questions, and reflect. Clearing offers support with what you feel ready to release, including where you do not yet feel able to do so on your own. We agree on a focus together.
What do you mean by spirit?
I use spirit to describe the sacred presence I relate to through stillness, attention, and the heart. Your understanding may be different or still taking shape. We can explore without requiring a shared religious identity or certainty about what you believe.
How should I prepare for a session?
Find a quiet, private space where you can be comfortable, undisturbed, and able to focus fully on the session. Silence notifications and avoid multitasking if possible.
There is no advance homework. You do not need to prepare your history, find the right words, or identify an underlying pattern.
You may bring something specific to explore or nothing clearly defined. Either is enough. We begin with what is present.
Do I need to know what I want to work on?
No. You can arrive with a clear concern, a vague sense that something wants attention, or simple curiosity. You do not need to find the right words or understand what lies beneath your experience. We explore together from wherever you are that day.
Can I bring a physical symptom to a session?
You may bring a physical sensation or symptom as something you want to explore from a personal or spiritual perspective. This does not mean we assume it has an energetic cause. A session does not diagnose the symptom or provide medical treatment, and it should not replace appropriate healthcare.
What does surrender mean?
In this work, surrender means a willingness to loosen your hold on something you feel ready to release. It unfolds at your own pace. I offer spiritual support with that process; you do not need to agree with my interpretation, set aside your judgment, or push beyond your boundaries.
Do I need to take an active part?
You can explore through questions, reflection, and gentle practice, with guidance along the way. When receiving clearing, you do not need to direct the work or carry out exercises. We follow your willingness and readiness, and you choose what to share. You can pause or stop at any time.
What is integration?
Integration means giving what you have explored time to settle into everyday life. This may include reflecting on a session or making room for a practice you choose. There is no fixed timetable and no particular feeling or change you need to produce.
Do I need to feel something dramatic?
No. Some people notice sensations, emotions, or a sense of relief; others have a quieter experience. Strong sensations are not a measure of progress, and you do not need to reproduce anyone else’s experience.
You are welcome to approach the work with curiosity. During a session, tell me what you notice and what feels comfortable. You can ask questions, slow down, or stop at any time.
Is the work always comfortable?
Emotions or uncertainty may arise, but discomfort is not a measure of progress. You do not need to intensify a feeling or push through your limits. We can slow down, change direction, pause, or stop whenever you wish.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no set number. One session may be enough for what you want to explore now. You may also choose to return for further learning, questions, or spiritual support. Each session stands on its own, with no required programme or schedule.
When should I schedule another session?
Allow time for reflection and any practice you choose to explore. You can return when you have questions, want to develop your connection further, or would welcome support. There is no required pace.
Do I need a particular spiritual belief?
No. You are welcome to bring your own beliefs, uncertainty, and questions. I share my understanding of spirit while encouraging you to reflect and develop your own discernment.
Is this therapy or medical treatment?
No. Heart Horizons is not psychotherapy, medical diagnosis or treatment, psychiatric care, emergency care, or a substitute for licensed medical or mental health care. A physical sensation or symptom may be explored from a personal or spiritual perspective, but a session does not establish its cause or replace appropriate healthcare.
Are results guaranteed?
No. No particular emotional, physical, relational, spiritual, or life outcome can be guaranteed.
Are sessions remote?
Yes. All sessions are currently remote by Zoom audio or telephone. Video is not used.
How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
To cancel an appointment, open your original appointment confirmation email and follow the cancellation link.
If you need a different time, you can cancel your existing appointment using that link, then book a new appointment at a time that works for you. Cancelling and booking again can be used instead of rescheduling.
