Frequently Asked Questions

This work is designed for individuals (and their animal companions) who are ready to engage in energetic and vibrational healing, and who are open to experiencing transformation on multiple levels — energetic, emotional, physical and spiritual. Tami’s approach integrates sound therapy, Reiki, shamanic and ancestral modalities, making it especially suited for those seeking a holistic, subtle-energy approach to wellness.

To choose the right session:

• Review the session descriptions on the “Offerings” page to see which resonates with your intention.
• If you’re uncertain, you can reach out for a short discussion or “discovery” conversation to clarify your needs and match the session to your current state.

No prior belief system or spiritual background is required to benefit from these sessions. The modalities used (such as Reiki, Acutonics®, ancestral healing) are accessible whether you’re open-minded, cautious or simply curious. Skepticism is welcome — think of the session as an invitation to experience, rather than a requirement to “believe.” The work is grounded in energetic principles and intuitive resonance, so you can simply show up and see how you feel afterward.

• Booking: Use the online scheduling system linked on the website (“Book Now”) to select your session type, date and time.
• Payment: Payment is collected (typically at the time of booking) via Venmo or Zelle.
• Rescheduling: If you need to change your appointment, please contact Tami as early as possible (see cancellation policy below) to adjust your time.

Appointments are booked in PST. If you live in a different time zone, please verify the corresponding time before the session to avoid confusion.

Prior to your appointment, please download and complete the intake paperwork located at the bottom of this page to help create a personalized protocol that supports your health goals. 

Frequency depends on your goals, state of being, and how your system responds to energetic work. Some clients find benefit from a single session, others from a series spaced regularly (e.g., weekly or monthly). During your session, you and Tami can discuss a plan that makes sense for your needs.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so with at least 24 hours notice to avoid a late fee or forfeiting the session. 

Preparation:

• Arrive a few minutes early to settle in and get comfortable. 
• Choose a quiet space and have water nearby. 
• Eat lightly for about 12–24 hours before and after your session, and avoid alcohol, coffee, sugary drinks, recreational drugs, and unnecessary medications during this time. 
• To help your body and mind prepare, take a short walk, do some deep breathing, or meditate 30–60 minutes beforehand.
• Stay well-hydrated before and after your session to support your body’s natural cleansing and integration process.

Dress:

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting, lightweight clothing that allows your body to move freely.

No. You’ll simply lie down or rest comfortably at your location while receiving the energy remotely. 

Afterward, I’ll send a voice note with insights and guidance, and I’m happy to answer any questions via text once you’ve had a chance to rest and integrate your experience.

Yes — in-person sessions may be offered depending on location and scheduling. Please check the “Offerings” page or contact Tami to find out available locations. Remote sessions, however, are fully supported and accessible globally.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer — some clients feel significant shifts in a single session, others benefit from multiple visits. During your first session, you and Tami will discuss your intention and goals, and she may recommend a number of follow-ups if appropriate.

Yes — energetic and vibrational healing often builds on itself. With each session you may experience deeper integration, greater clarity, and more durable shifts. That said, each person’s timeline is unique.

During a session, you might:

• Feel waves of energy, warmth, tingling or release in your body or fields.
• Receive sound frequencies, tuning-fork work, chakra/aura balancing, meridian alignment and other vibrational tools (as appropriate).
• Experience emotional release or subtle changes in physical sensation.
• Move into a state of relaxation, inner stillness, or aliveness.

After the session, you may notice shifts over hours or days.

 Yes, this is totally normal. Some people feel dramatic sensations during the session; others feel quiet, subtle or barely perceptible changes in the moment, and then notice shifts later. Absence of obvious sensation doesn’t mean the work isn’t happening — energetic change can be internal, gradual or non-sensory. 

Support Your Body:

• Drink plenty of water to help your body process and release energy.
• Rest if you feel prompted — integration can bring up the need for extra sleep or quiet time.
• Epsom salt baths are wonderful for relaxation and clearing energy.
• Grounding foods such as dark chocolate, root vegetables, red meat, and even a small glass of red wine can help you integrate the frequencies.
• Spend a few minutes “Earthing” — placing your bare feet on the ground to reconnect with natural energy.

Notice & Integrate:

• Pay attention to subtle shifts in your energy, mood, or body over the next few days.
• Move gently — light stretching, yoga, or walking can help energy flow smoothly.
• Allow time for creative expression — drawing, painting, singing, journaling, or using positive affirmations can help process and anchor your experience.
• Avoid scheduling another intense session right away unless recommended. Give yourself time and space to fully integrate the work.

• Holy Fire® III Reiki is an advanced Reiki lineage that incorporates meditation, mindfulness and spiritual presence.
• Karuna Reiki® is a compassion-based Reiki system aligned with the Holy Fire lineage, focusing on deeper healing of emotional and relational patterns.
• Kundalini Reiki addresses life-force energy associated with the Kundalini awakening, supporting energetic clearing and movement.
• Seraphim Blueprint® is a newer system that works with high-level angelic energies and light-codes to support spiritual alignment and blueprint activation.

Acutonics® is a modality that integrates sound healing with principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, psychology, cosmology and vibrational science. It uses calibrated tuning-forks, planetary frequencies and sound instruments to align and harmonize the body’s energy systems.

Ancestral or shamanic healing encompasses holistic methods that honor lineage, spirit, ecology, and the subtle-energy dynamics that extend beyond the physical body. This work may involve clearing ancestral patterns, releasing energetic attachments, and engaging with spirit allies or energetic fields to restore harmony and balance. It is often most supportive when deeper, multi-generational layers of disharmony are present. 

Tami was trained by Betsy Bergstrom in Mediumship, Energetic Hygiene, Compassionate Depossession, Thoughtform and Curse Unraveling.  Her approach is further informed by a profound understanding of epigenetics and ancestral patterns, enabling her to recognize and help release energetic imprints carried through family lineages.

The Wakefield Sonic Facelift™  method is a non-invasive vibrational facial rejuvenation technique that uses precisely tuned sound frequencies to stimulate connective tissue, enhance circulation, and promote natural lift and renewal. 

This gentle yet powerful approach supports both the skin’s vitality and the body’s energetic harmony, encouraging a refreshed, radiant appearance from within. 

Yes — Tami keeps private session notes solely for the purpose of continuity of service, context and professional integrity. These notes are kept confidential and not shared without your explicit permission. Client privacy and respect are foundational to the work.

Absolutely. You are encouraged to bring a specific intention, question or focus to your session. Tami will work with you to honor your intention and align the session accordingly. The more clarity you bring to your focus, the richer the experience can be.

Yes — you may still work with Tami, but please note that these services are complementary and not a substitute for medical or psychological diagnosis or treatment. 

As stated in the website’s disclaimer: the modalities are intended to promote relaxation, stress-reduction and overall well-being, and practitioners do not diagnose, prescribe or perform medical procedures.  

If you have a medical or mental-health condition, please continue working with your licensed healthcare provider and let Tami know about any major conditions or medications so she can best support you.

 You might notice:

• A sense of lightness, openness, or expansion in your body or energy field.
• Emotional release such as tears, laughter, or waves of unexpected feelings and insights.
• Physical sensations like warmth, tingling, pressure, softness, or release in certain areas.
• Changes in sleep, appetite, mood, or mental clarity, or even subtle shifts in your environment.
• Sometimes the changes are gentle and unfold gradually over several days rather than immediately.

As your body and energy field recalibrate, you may also experience temporary “Herxheimer” or “ascension flu” symptoms — mild fatigue, headaches, body aches, or feeling emotionally tender. This is often the body’s natural way of processing and releasing stagnant or toxic energy that has been held for a long time.

Part of this work involves identifying your triggers, allowing emotions to surface, and shifting perspective as old energy clears. These sensations and emotions are signs that your system is realigning — trust the process, rest, hydrate, and support your body gently as you integrate the changes.

All types of animals can benefit — including dogs, cats, horses, and other companion or working animals. The energy work naturally adjusts to each animal’s unique energetic system, sensitivity, and capacity, providing balance and support in a way that feels safe and comfortable for them.

Tami is trained in animal communication, Small Animal Acutonics®, and Animal Reiki, allowing her to tune in intuitively and respond to each animal’s individual needs with care and precision.

It depends on the session format (remote or in-person) and the animal’s temperament. 

For remote sessions, the animal should ideally be in a calm, quiet environment, and you may stay nearby for support or observation. 

For in-person sessions, your presence may be optional depending on the animal’s comfort level — discuss with Tami at booking.

Yes — many clients report improvements in physical pain, anxiety, emotional stress or behavioral patterns (in humans and animals) after energy and sound work. That said, outcomes vary and are dependent on many factors including individual openness, consistency and integration. Because this is complementary work, it should be used alongside conventional care when addressing clinical conditions.
