Your first appointment
How do I make an appointment?
Through the contact page, by email at info@innerphoenix.be or by phone on 0475 95 20 38. Together, we arrange a suitable time.
How do I know if your approach is right for me?
You are welcome to get in touch. I explain how I work and answer your questions. You do not need to be convinced beforehand or book an appointment straight away.
What does Kaizen mean to you?
Kaizen is about small, achievable steps. We start with your situation and look together at what feels right today. You do not need to change everything at once.
What is the difference between Kaizen and a tailored session?
Kaizen combines a conversation, energy healing and reflection afterwards; follow-up appointments are possible. Tailored support starts with a specific goal and may involve a longer session, several appointments or a combination with home cleansing. The first introductory conversation for tailored support is free.
Is the introductory conversation free?
Yes, the first introductory conversation for a tailored session is free. We explore what you are looking for and which approach might suit you. It is a chance to get to know each other, rather than a full session.
How much does a session cost?
A Kaizen session costs €75. A longer session or programme requires a tailored proposal. The first introductory conversation for a tailored session is free.
Is my appointment confirmed straight away?
The form sends a request. I contact you personally to discuss your question, a suitable time and the practical arrangements. Your appointment is confirmed once we have agreed it together.
Where do sessions take place?
You are welcome by appointment at my practice at Chrysantenlaan 37, 1930 Zaventem. Home cleansing takes place at your property. Let me know beforehand if you have questions about access or anything you need to visit comfortably.
During and after your session
What is an energy healing session?
An energy healing session starts from the connection between body, emotions and energy. I use Reiki, among other techniques, with the intention of releasing energy blockages and supporting balance. At Inner Phoenix, this also includes a conversation and time to reflect afterwards.
Who are the sessions for?
You are welcome if, for example, you experience sensory overload, find yourself repeating the same patterns or are going through an intense period in life, and are open to energy work. Unsure whether this fits what you are looking for? Feel free to get in touch.
I am highly sensitive. Will there be room for my sensitivity?
As a highly sensitive person, I recognise how intensely sensory input and emotions can be felt. That sensitivity also plays a part in my work. Tell me what you experience and what you find difficult; that is where our conversation begins.
What happens during a session?
We begin by talking about what you are looking for. You then lie fully clothed on the treatment table while I work with my hands on or above your body. We finish by discussing your experience and my observations.
What should I wear to a session?
You remain fully clothed during the session. Choose clothes that allow you to lie comfortably on the treatment table.
What might I feel during a session?
You might experience warmth, tingling, relaxation or emotions. The experience varies from person to person and from session to session. Afterwards, feel free to share what you noticed, even if it was very little.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on what you are looking for and how you experience the support. A Kaizen session can be followed by another; tailored support can also involve several appointments. We discuss together which next step would be useful.
What happens after the session?
We discuss what you experienced and what I observed during the session. Where appropriate, I offer personal suggestions. We may also talk about a possible next step.
A ritual for your home
What is home energy cleansing?
In home energy cleansing, I work from the view that spaces carry energy. I explore the home with an energy scan, cleanse the rooms using energy techniques and finish with an energetic closing ritual.
Why do people choose home cleansing?
For example, after moving, renovating or going through a difficult period, or when a home feels heavy. Cleansing can also be a deliberate step when starting a business or saying goodbye to a home.
How does home cleansing work?
First, we discuss your home and what has brought you here. During the visit, I begin with an energy scan, followed by cleansing the rooms. I finish with a ritual of protection and grounding.
Can cleansing help me sell my home?
Selling a property can be a reason to arrange home cleansing, for example when you want to say goodbye to a place in a mindful way. A faster sale or a higher selling price cannot be guaranteed.
How much does home cleansing cost?
As a guide, €150 for a small house or apartment with 1–2 bedrooms, taking around 1.5 to 2 hours. For a larger home with 3 or more bedrooms: around €300 for 3 to 4 hours. We discuss the final estimate beforehand.
How long might I notice a difference?
This varies with the home, situation and person. During cleansing, I focus on the space and the reason for your request. There is no fixed timeframe for a noticeable result.
What can I do myself to feel more at home?
A simple start is to air your home, tidy up and consciously take a quiet moment. From an energy-work perspective, you can also work with an intention or sound. If you want to use herbs, smoke or oils, find out about safe use in your circumstances, especially with children or animals at home.
Do I need to prepare my home?
Make sure the rooms are accessible; no extra cleaning is needed. Mention any children, pets or sensitivities to smoke and scents beforehand so we can discuss what is possible.
Do I need to be there during home cleansing?
When you get in touch, discuss when you can be present and how the home can be accessed. The practical arrangements depend on your situation.
What about scents, smoke and pets?
During home cleansing, I may use herbs, essential oils and singing bowls, among other materials. Are there pets or sensitivities to smoke or scents? Mention this when you get in touch and ask what approach is possible before confirming an appointment.
Expectations and care
Does this replace medical or psychological care?
No. Energy work does not replace diagnosis, medication or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional. Do not stop or change an existing treatment on the basis of an energy healing session.
Is energy healing the same as Reiki?
Reiki is one of the approaches I use. We discuss what may suit you, depending on what you are looking for. You do not have to choose a technique in advance.
How can I reflect on my experience after a session?
After your appointment, take a moment to reflect on what you experienced and discuss it afterwards or at a later session. You may notice relaxation, emotions or a different perspective on what is on your mind. There is no fixed timeline for results.
Is there scientific evidence for energy healing?
Reiki has not been clearly shown to be effective for health purposes. Studies are often of limited quality and their results vary. There is no scientific evidence for the proposed energy field. See also the information from the NCCIH.
What if I feel worse after a session?
Let me know how you feel so we can talk about your experience. Take new or worsening symptoms seriously and consult a healthcare professional. A change in symptoms deserves attention and is not automatically a result of the session.
Is there anything I should discuss beforehand?
Let me know if you have questions about touch, your position on the treatment table or the materials used. If you have a medical or mental health condition, discuss with your treating healthcare professional whether complementary support is appropriate.
Do I need to believe in energy work?
You are welcome with an open mind, questions or doubts. A first conversation helps you discover how I work and whether this approach appeals to you.
How can I recognise a responsible practitioner?
Look for clear explanations, respect for your boundaries, transparent prices and realistic expectations. You should always feel free to ask questions, decline a session or stop.
Can I come if I have anxiety or symptoms of depression?
Professional psychological or medical support is important for these concerns. An energy healing session is not a treatment for anxiety or depression. If you are also looking for space to relax, discuss what is appropriate with your healthcare professional.
Which techniques do you use?
For my energy healing sessions, I draw on Reiki (Unitary), Access Bars, Access Core/Body and Lift, bio-energy and energy acupuncture without needles (Cosmonergy), among other approaches. I have also explored NLP, coaching and hypnosis.
Crystals (lithotherapy), essential oils and space energy cleansing are also part of my work. My background also includes shamanism, animal communication, soul guidance, soul transition and mediumship.
You do not have to know all these techniques or choose one yourself. Our conversation starts with what you are looking for. Read more about a tailored session.
