Things to Consider Before a Session
Before the session, it is helpful to think about your intentions and also about any changes you’ve seen since your last session with me.
Just taking the step to book a session can start the healing process unfolding - so congratulations on taking this step.
Sometimes people start to get unwell before a scheduled session, or symptoms can appear to worsen as the underlying dynamics are coming to the surface for resolution. Sometimes a sudden scheduling conflict can arise and get in the way. I suggest you go ahead with the session if you possibly can so we can support the healing process that is already unfolding in your body. We can always do a phone session or I can record a session for you without you being present.
Just a reminder these sessions are not intended to be a substitute for medical treatment, medications or support from a mental health professional or therapist. Please seek additional professional help if the support you need goes beyond what Medoc can provide.
After a Session
I suggest you don't schedule anything strenuous or stressful straight after the session and instead allow some time to relax, or perhaps take a walk or do some gentle movement.
Results from a session can be quite deep and your body may process and integrate the changes for a few days. You may find you need extra rest during this time.
Working Individually
Generally we will talk a little at the start of the session about your situation/intention and then move on to the healing work.
If you are a new client your first session may run a little longer than normal.
Logistics for In Person Sessions
For Energy Alignment Sessions, Bodytalk and Reiki you will be laying fully clothed on a massage table. It is best to dress in comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily, preferably natural fabrics.
Please avoid using strongly scented products when you come for your session as I am sensitive to fragrances.
Logistics for Online Sessions
We will meet via Zoom Video - the link is included at the top of your confirmation and reminder email. Most people have used Zoom by now but if you need more instructions let me know. If you haven’t used Zoom before or haven’t used it for a while you may be asked to download or update before the session so leave a little extra time.
The Zoom link is unique to each appointment booking so please use the link in the most recent appointment confirmation email.
Please meet from a private location with a good internet connection, where you can talk and hear easily. It helps if you can relax either sitting comfortably or lying down while the session is happening.
We can switch to phone/WhatsApp or a recorded session if you have a surprise scheduling clash, illness, or if time zones, or limited internet connectivity make zoom sessions difficult. Email or text me before the session if you would like to change to either of these options. Please note: for phone sessions you will call me.
Working in an Online Group Session
Group sessions can be very powerful due to the added attention and intention of everyone taking part in the call. During the session I will tune into the energy of the group as a whole and any priority or theme that has developed.
Using a combination of BodyTalk and other modalities I will do a session for everyone's wellbeing and growth. Everything that comes up for the group is potentially a shift for you, but your BodyMind will only make an adjustment when something is a priority for you personally. Your BodyMind makes these shifts as you listen and then the changes will integrate over time.
(If you think you may benefit from more personalised attention you might want to consider an individual session in the future.)
Logistics for the Online Session
We will meet via Zoom Video - the link is included at the top of your confirmation and reminder email. Most people have used Zoom by now but if you need more instructions let me know. If you haven’t used Zoom before or haven’t used it for a while you may be asked to download or update before the session so leave a little extra time.
The Zoom link is unique to each appointment booking so please use the link in the most recent appointment confirmation email.
Please join on time. If you try to join (or rejoin) after the energy work has already started we may not be able to let you onto the call. You will still be included in the group energy and you will receive the recording after the session.
Join the call from a private, quiet location where you can relax either sitting comfortably or lying down. If you are watching with other people please make sure that you have registered individually, this ensures you are each included in the group energy for the session. It is also best not to attend from a public space (like a coffee shop or co-working space) where your screen is visible to others, or where others can overhear.
Group sessions are not recommended for children because potentially sensitive information may be shared.
Generally this is the format of the call:
Short check in at the beginning to orient those attending live.
Energy Alignment Session which is roughly 60 mins. This portion will be recorded so please keep yourself muted during this part.
Stay for a short Q&A if you want to ask questions and share reflections or comments.
Followup email with the recording is sent the same night.
Creating a Safe Container
Creating a safe container is really important for doing any healing or ceremonial type work. Please only join a group event if you can take part in a good, supportive and attentive way.
If you are intoxicated, trying to multitask, driving or have any condition where you are unable to give the group event your full attention while it is happening, then it is best to wait for the recording instead of attending live.
To help events be inclusive for all people please interact with kindness and avoid discussion of potentially controversial or polarising topics unless they are relevant to the work being observed or your personal intention. Please keep your comments related to your own personal experience.
If anyone’s attendance becomes disruptive we may end their participation in the live call (eg loud background noise or lots of visual distraction). But they will still be included in the energy of the group call and will receive the recording.
Privacy & Recordings
The Energy Alignment portion of the group call is recorded and shared.
Only Medoc should show on the recording, but in the case of a technical glitch or internet outage there is a possibility attendees may also be recorded. If you are concerned about privacy you can choose to keep your video off, change the name shown on the screen, or wait for the recording instead of attending live.
Please do not record or take screen shots yourself, or share any recordings without Medoc's prior permission.
You are welcome to share your own personal learning from a group event - but please don't share any personal or sensitive information about other people, the healing work or the Constellations.
If the recording is disrupted for some reason and cannot be shared, you are welcome to transfer your registration to another future group event or individual session.
