Important Notes on Energetic Work

I offer energetic remote sessions under Austrian law. Energetic healing is not a medical treatment and is not a substitute for a physician or psychotherapy.

  • No promises of healing: I do not guarantee specific outcomes or provide medical diagnoses.

  • Self-responsibility: Every client remains fully responsible for their own decisions and well-being.

  • Confidentiality: All information shared during a session is treated with strict confidentiality.
