Informed Consent & Disclaimer

Before booking an appointment, please read the following to acknowledge that shamanic healing is distinct from mental health counseling, and that in booking a session, you voluntarily choose to participate in these sessions.

Shamanic Healing Informed Consent & Disclaimer

**1. Nature of Services:**  

I, Jennie LaVaque, provide Peruvian shamanic energy healings and spiritual guidance through my practice, Dreamwalker Shaman. These sessions support individuals in their personal and spiritual growth and may involve energy clearing, intuitive insights, guided practices, and other spiritual methodologies rooted in traditional shamanic practices. More information about my services can be found within this web site.

 

**2. Not a Substitute for Mental Health Services:**  

Shamanic healing, spiritual guidance, and soul card readings are complementary practices that focus on spiritual well-being. They are not a replacement for licensed mental health counseling, psychotherapy, medical treatment, or any other regulated healthcare service. If you require psychological, psychiatric, or medical intervention, you should seek care from a licensed professional.

 

**3. No Licensed Mental Health Services Provided:**  

I am a practitioner of shamanic energy healing and spiritual guidance. While I may also hold training and/or credentials in clinical mental health counseling, these sessions are **not** conducted under that license and do not constitute professional mental health treatment. No diagnosis, psychological assessment, or therapeutic intervention will be provided during these sessions.

 

**4. Not an Empirically Validated Intervention:**  

Shamanic healing is a spiritual and energetic practice based on traditional methodologies. It is not an evidence-based or empirically validated intervention within the fields of psychology or medicine. Clients should understand that these sessions are rooted in spiritual traditions rather than scientific research.

 

**5. Voluntary Participation & Personal Responsibility:**  

You acknowledge that participation in services offered by Dreamwalker Shaman is voluntary and that you are responsible for your own well-being and personal growth. The effectiveness of these sessions varies for each individual and cannot be guaranteed.

 

**6. Confidentiality:**  

Information shared during shamanic sessions will be kept confidential, except where disclosure is required by law (e.g., harm to self or others, abuse, or court order).

 

**7. No Guarantees & Release of Liability:**  

While shamanic practices can be deeply transformative, I do not guarantee any specific outcomes. By acknowledging this document, you release me from any claims, liabilities, or damages resulting from your participation in these sessions.  You will be asked to sign a physical version of this agreement prior to engaging in services with Dreamwalker Shaman.
