Waiver and Expectations for Sessions

What to Expect

Please come to the session in comfortable clothing, you will be asked to remove your shoes and any metal objects.  All of the Energy Healing performed by Jody Goddard is non–invasive. There is minimal touch and the client remains fully clothed. During the Bio-Energy Chakra clearing, clients may be asked to stand or sit down in a special treatment chair at different stages of the session depending on the techniques used. Depending upon the nature of a person’s condition, how serious it is and how long they have it some clients may require a second course of sessions.  During the Eden Energy Medicine, clients may be asked to stand and lie down on a massage table, to be active participants in the session.

While clients report positive outcomes in using Jody Goddard’s services, please note that it’s not possible to guarantee any specific results and it is unknown how you or your animal, whichever is applicable, will respond to Energy Healing. Participation in sessions can result in a number of  benefits to you or your animal, including improved health and well-being and resolution of the specific concerns that led you to seek consultation for yourself or your animal.  

While the Energy Healing provided by Jody Goddard is considered gentle and non-invasive, it’s possible during or after your session(s) to experience some physical discomfort or emotional distress that can be perceived as negative. During sessions, clients may feel heat or cold, tingling sensations and also swaying or movement of the body. Occasionally, some people have experienced dizziness, nausea, or anxiousness as a side-effect from energy work.  It is also possible that clients notice very little happening initially but find their illnesses have dissipated for up to 90 days following the sessions.
