Can a Spiritual Healer cure me of my Illness?
Healers will never claim the ability to cure and your recovery cannot be guaranteed, however healing will generally affect your well being positively, and in some cases dramatically. Testimonies to benefits received come from all kinds of complaints, including patients suffering from terminal disease.

Must a person be of consenting age to receive Spiritual Healing?
No. Spiritual Healing is given to persons (and animals) of all ages. However a child under consenting age must have their parents or guardians permission to receive it - and of course they must be already registered with a doctor. Incidentally, children make wonderful responsive patients!

How much does spiritual healing cost?
Many healers rely on voluntary donations from the patient to defray costs. Some healers will request expenses only, and some healers practising full time will charge fees. You should ask what convention operates when making enquiries.

Animal HealingI would like healing for my animal/Pet. Can you Help?
Yes we can. Animals are superb patients as they are so accepting of what is natural.  We do expect the owner to have sought the advice of a vet, and if not, recommend that they do so.  Healing is complementary to vetinary treatment, not an alternative.  However, in an emergency a healer will attend an animal whether or not a vet is currently treating it.  Distant healing can also be given to animals as it is to people.

 

I have to have faith or be religious to get beneift from Spiritual Healing?
No is the short answer. Healing can be given successfully to a patient who is agnostic or atheistic. Recipients who do have belief systems often feel that their inner understanding helps the healing process. Believer or not, it helps if you have an open mind and respect for the effort being given. Animals are ideal patients as they naturally accept the flow of healing energies. Healers will never impose their understanding or make belief a pre condition of healing. 

I am taking medication, can I still receive healing and benefit from it?
Yes you can. Spiritual Healing is entirely complementary, working in harmony with both allopathic and alternative medicine. At no time will you be expected to stop prescribed medication or curtail your sessions with an alternative medical practitioner. 

Can I have a friend or partner present during the healing session?
All Healers will want their patients to be relaxed as possible and if you feel the need, for whatever reason, to have a friend, partner or member of family present they will agree the request. Where the healing takes place in public or private session your chosen companion will be given place to observe. If your health condition requires skilled attention the Healer will welcome such support, as this will free them to focus on releasing the healing energies.

Can I expect a Spiritual Healer to respect my confidences?
Yes you can. Spiritual Healers work to a code of conduct that specifically requires the strictest confidence to be practiced. You can be sure that conversations will remain private and records will be kept according to the provisions of the Data Protection Act. These records can be seen by you at anytime, or may be given you if so required.

How can I tell that a Spiritual Healer is trained to AHA Standards?
All Spiritual Healers carry a membership card of the association they belong to, this ID will be produced on request and shows who the member is, the association they belong to, reference to AHA, the period of current membership, and that they are insured to practice.
