Informed Consent

Client Agreement

This document contains important information about our services and policies.

  • You may continue or start traditional or alternative treatment from other health and medical professionals while you are having shamanic sessions.

  • You are willing to discuss any physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual issues you may be experiencing in your personal and professional life.

  • You are open to the healing changes that may arrive in your life as a result of any shamanic practices undertaken by you or on your behalf.

  • It’s possible this work may arouse intense emotions during or after in-person, remote, or in absentia session(s) and / or subtly or significantly alter close and / or intimate personal and professional relationships.

  • Our services are offered as spiritual support only, not advice.

  • Sessions are not intended to diagnose or treat physical, emotional, mental, psychological, or psychiatric conditions or illnesses.

  • While benefits may be experienced they are not guaranteed. Multiple sessions may be necessary to facilitate noticeable and lasting change.

  • Clients are typically provided with information on integrating healing into their lives. While any actions are an invitation, it is recommended that this post-healing integration work is carried out to maximise its effectiveness.

  • Following a session some clients experience healing crises to varying degrees. Any symptoms generally pass within a few days to a week.

  • Other than potentially sharing with Richard’s external supervisor where necessary (excluding any identifying details) any personal information shared with Richard is considered strictly private and confidential.

  • You permit Richard to facilitate in-person, remote, virtual, and in absentia shamanic practices, healing, and counselling services on your behalf, as agreed in advance of any work being carried out. In-session healing will be conducted carte blanche for your highest good unless you request otherwise or Spirit indicates the need for additional explicit consent from you to proceed.

  • In-person, remote, virtual, and in absentia services are by appointment. You agree that in absentia work may be carried out on an ad-hoc 'as-called' unscheduled basis. In-person sessions typically last 1.5 to 3.5 hours.

  • It is important that you inform Richard should you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 48 hours before your scheduled healing, otherwise any monies paid will be forfeit and non-refundable, and any remaining monies owed will become immediately payable on request.

In terms of confidentiality, we do not hold any identifying session records.

However, we do keep your telephone, postal address (if provided), email, and emergency contact details. We will remove this information on your request.

Richard can only discuss our work together openly with others with your written permission. However, there are a few rare exceptions:

We are required by law to disclose information pertaining to suspected child abuse, inability to care for one’s basic needs, and threatened harm to oneself or others. If he believes that you may harm yourself or someone else he must notify the police and your emergency contact. Should a situation such as this arise, he’ll make every effort to discuss it with you before taking any action.

Any pre and post-session discussions, conversations, healing stories, and any shamanic counselling journey narration recordings will be deleted periodically unless otherwise requested by you, in which case they can be deleted sooner.

While it is Richard’s intention that this explanation of confidentiality is helpful the laws governing confidentiality are complex and he is not a solicitor or legal advisor. Regardless it is important that you discuss any questions or concerns that you may have prior to any work commencing.

After your session, programme, or training, you will be invited to share some words about your experience in the form of a client testimonial.

This testimonial may be used for marketing purposes across websites, email, social media, brochures, and leaflets. By providing a testimonial, you understand that you are giving us permission to use it for these purposes.

If we do not hear back from you, we may write a testimonial based on your conversations and communications with Richard, as well as any social media posts or comments made by you. We will then seek your approval to publish it attributed to you. Without your approval, we will publish it anonymously.
