What makes Mindful Beginnings different from other practices?

Do I need to be spiritual or religious to benefit from your services?

Question 6

How long is a typical therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing emotional distress, relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck - therapy can help. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. Many people find therapy valuable for personal growth and self-understanding as well.

Question 8

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

We accept several major insurance plans. Please contact us to verify your specific coverage. We also offer sliding-scale fees for those who qualify, because we believe financial barriers should never prevent someone from getting help.

Question 9

What is Reiki?

Accepted Answer

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing technique that originated in Japan. The practitioner channels universal life force energy through their hands (either touching or hovering above the body) to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body's natural healing processes. You remain fully clothed throughout.

Question 10

What is a sound bath?

Accepted Answer

A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down comfortably while being immersed in healing sound waves produced by crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other instruments. The vibrations help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and create a deeply relaxed state. No musical experience needed!

Question 11

What is biomagnetism?

Accepted Answer

Biomagnetism is a therapeutic approach that uses pairs of magnets placed on specific points of the body to help restore pH balance, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural healing mechanisms. It is non-invasive, painless, and can complement other healing modalities.

Question 12

Is energy healing safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all of our energy healing modalities are non-invasive, gentle, and safe for people of all ages. They complement - rather than replace - conventional medical treatment. We always recommend continuing any prescribed medical care alongside energy healing work.
