FAQ
What is the format of the session? The experience with Alexandra is relaxed and casual. Expect to come in and share your intention or questions. A conversation will ensue; Alexandra may ask clarifying questions or share her thoughts and intuitive channeling. Approximately 30-40 minutes into your session, Alexandra will have you relax, and will guide you in breathing or meditative/journeying experience. This allows Alexandra to relate and receive insights into your system in a different way, and can allow her to offer an energy clearing and healing to seal in the work you have done together. People usually describe this part as deeply relaxing, balancing and often insightful. Before you leave she will give you a list of guidance and recommendations to explore (usually by email within 24 hours of the session).
What can I expect from the recommendations? Alexandra draws from her vast experience and study to curate bespoke recommendations for you. These could include, but are not limited to: suggestions to bring to your medical provider around further investigations, treatments, referrals etc. Recommendations of alternative health practitioners to explore Recommendations on reading around different health topics and/or supplements or natural remedies that have been known to be helpful Self work and healing practices Guided meditations or breath practices to explore at home Journaling prompts or daily mantras to explore
How can I prepare for the session? Please prepare your intention or question in advance. As with any energy healing modality, once you book the session you may notice themes or synchronicities occurring. Take note of what is happening for you and develop your question or intention for the session. In an ideal world you would come relaxed and have time after to process your experience. You may wish to bring water or tea, and something to write on for after the experience If connecting virtually, please have a quiet, private space and come to the session relaxed. You may want to have a beverage and something to write on if you wish to take notes. It would be ideal and really special to have some time to process your experience in a quiet and calm environment after the session before you fully re-enter your life.
What if I have special needs or concerns? Please inquire directly.
How often should a client come see you? We recommend a maximum of monthly. It is important to process and integrate the experience and put the recommendations into action. Some people will come to Alexandra regularly for support with their current process; others will love a one time connection to help with a difficult time or decision.

Whether the journey is health related, based in a life decision or related to connecting more deeply on a spiritual level, Alexandra is excited to support you.
