Conversation guide
Five minutes of questions can make the next step clearer
A first conversation is a chance to understand the approach—not a commitment to continue. Ask enough to feel clear about the setting, boundaries, experience, and next step.
Understand what will happen
Ask for a plain-language description of a typical session, including anything you may be invited to do.
- How do you usually begin and end a session?
- Will this involve touch, movement, breathwork, sound, or group participation?
- Can I pause, decline, or stop at any time?
- What should I prepare beforehand?
Ask about experience and boundaries
Training, personal experience, professional credentials, and lived tradition are different things. Ask which of them informs the work and decide what matters for your situation.
- What training or experience is relevant to this practice?
- How do you handle privacy and consent?
- What is outside the scope of your practice?
- When would you refer someone to qualified medical or mental-health support?
Leave space before deciding
You can ask about availability, format, and fees directly after an authorized introduction. A directory request is not a booking, and you do not need to decide during the first conversation.
