Alternative healing is not a substitute for your medical practitioner’s advice and I will insist you take your doctor or medical practitioner's advice as complimentary therapies work together with western medicine.  Whilst many people have reported physical and / or emotional benefits from attending healing sessions I cannot promise or guarantee any particular result. Any clairvoyance work is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended to mislead any persons in any way. Any techniques used are not intended to diagnose or prescribe and are in no way a substitute for the clients own inner guidance or consultation with a licensed health care professional. I never make claim to be able to heal a person but do believe in a combination of allopathic (western) and alternative healing treatments.
