Common questions about holistic therapy and healing

Holistic therapy is an approach that works with the whole being. Mind, body, spirit and energy. At Astral Flow, this can include energy balancing, intuitive guidance, sound therapy and meditative practices. The aim is to support your natural healing processes and help restore emotional, physical and energetic alignment.

Both modalities support healing, balance, and alignment — they simply approach this in different ways.

Choose Ashati if you’re seeking deep relaxation, energetic restoration, and a more receptive experience. This approach is ideal if you want to rest, receive, and allow your energy system to rebalance without needing to actively engage during the session.

Choose SimplyALIGN if you’re seeking meaningful energetic change, clarity, and functional alignment. This modality is suited to those who value a focused, guided process that works directly with what is ready to shift, and who prefer to be gently involved in the healing process rather than entering a purely relaxation-based experience.

If you’re unsure which session is the best fit, we can explore what will most support you before your booking or at the beginning of your session.

An Ashati session is a calm, restorative experience designed to support balance and energetic restoration.

You’ll be lying comfortably on a massage table and guided into a relaxed state. The session works through hands-on energy healing, where healing energy is channelled through the practitioner to support the chakras and layers of the aura.

You don’t need to do anything other than rest and receive. Many people experience deep relaxation, a sense of calm, or gentle energetic sensations, while others simply enjoy the opportunity to fully switch off. Each session meets you where you are and supports what your energy system is ready for at the time.

Using muscle testing, the session identifies areas across the energy systems, body systems, personal timeline, generational energy, or other relevant layers that are ready to be released, cleared, or affirmed. The work is responsive and intention-led, allowing your system to guide the session rather than following a fixed structure.

Sessions involve gentle participation from you, supporting awareness and alignment rather than deep relaxation. While some people experience calm or relief, the primary focus is functional alignment — clearing what is no longer serving and supporting clarity, strength, and meaningful energetic change.

Post-session experiences vary from person to person and are led by your system. Some people notice immediate changes, while others experience more subtle shifts that unfold over time. Both are completely normal.

After an Ashati energy healing session

Many people feel deeply relaxed, lighter, calmer, or more grounded after an Ashati session. It’s also common to feel tired and need rest.

Ashati has a 21-day integration period, during which the healing continues to work gently in the background. During this time, you may notice changes in mood, sleep needs, energy levels, or appetite as your system integrates the work.

After your session, rest and hydration are recommended. Gentle, non-strenuous activities are best for the remainder of the day, and a nap may be beneficial. It’s advised to avoid stressful or demanding activities immediately after the session.

After a SimplyALIGN energy healing session

People often feel lighter, calmer, and more grounded after SimplyALIGN. Some experience clear shifts straight away, while others may not notice much initially — with changes becoming evident gradually over weeks or months.

It’s common to notice signs of release such as frequent sighing for a short time after the session or increased thirst. Some people also notice brief physical sensations such as warmth, coolness, or goosebumps.

SimplyALIGN integrates immediately, and no specific aftercare is required. You can continue with your day as normal.

A note on integration

Not feeling anything straight away does not mean the session wasn’t effective — subtle shifts are just as valid. Follow-up sessions are always your choice.

Energy healing is a complementary modality and does not replace medical or psychological care.

No special preparation is required. It’s helpful to wear comfortable clothing and allow yourself time after the session to rest or reflect. Whether you attend in-person in Ocean Grove or connect online, simply come with an open mind and a willingness to receive.

Yes — energy healing can be done remotely and is just as effective as in-person sessions. The work takes place within the energy field and is not limited by physical location. Remote sessions do not require you to be online or on a Zoom call at the time.

An optional Zoom call can be arranged after a session for both modalities to share what came up during the work. For SimplyALIGN, a Zoom call is also an available option as part of the session, though it is not required.

While in-person sound healing includes physical vibration, online sound healing works primarily through sound, frequency, and nervous-system regulation. Even without feeling vibration in the body, the sound still supports the brain in shifting into slower, more meditative states, helping the nervous system settle and allowing the body to relax and reset. The energetic intention of the session also remains present, supporting balance, clarity, and emotional processing.

Many people find online sound healing to be deeply calming and surprisingly effective, often feeling more relaxed because they are in their own familiar space. While the experience is different from in-person sessions, the benefits can be just as meaningful — simply experienced in a subtler way.

In-person and remote energy healing are equally effective. The difference is in the experience, not the results.

In-person sessions offer a dedicated, distraction-free environment that many people find easier to relax into. Remote sessions allow the work to take place from wherever you are and are just as effective, though the experience can vary depending on how relaxed your environment is.

Both Ashati and SimplyALIGN work within the energy field rather than through physical touch, and the same energetic process is used whether sessions are in person or remote. In-person sessions support connection and community, while remote sessions offer accessibility and flexibility.

The frequency of sessions depends on the modality and your individual needs.

For Ashati, sessions are spaced at least 21 days apart to allow for full integration of the work. This integration period is an important part of the healing process, and booking more frequently is not recommended.

For SimplyALIGN, session frequency is entirely client-led. Some people book when they start to feel stuck or notice that things are no longer flowing as they were, while others choose occasional tune-ups. Short 20-minute SimplyALIGN reset sessions are also available to support anything that has surfaced.

There is no “right” number of sessions — you’re encouraged to listen to your system and book in a way that feels supportive rather than prescriptive.

You are never required to relive, revisit in detail, or disclose personal trauma during an energy healing session.

With Ashati, some people may notice emotional release or old themes gently surfacing during the integration period. This occurs only to the extent that your system feels safe and ready, and you remain in control at all times.

With SimplyALIGN, past experiences or trauma may arise if they are ready to be cleared — particularly when working with the personal timeline. However, there is no need to go into detail or relive the experience. Often, it is enough for a client to acknowledge what the energy relates to, for example by saying “I know what that’s about,” or naming it in broad terms such as a life stage or general theme.

Anything shared during a session is held in confidence and without judgement. If a client feels they need to speak more about something, space is gently held for that — but this is always the client’s choice. The work is guided by the energy and honours safety, autonomy, and pacing at all times.

No. My sessions are complementary healing practices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or mental health conditions. If you are under the care of a doctor, psychologist, or health professional, I encourage you to continue that support and inform them of any healing work you choose to explore alongside it.

Astral Flow does not offer crisis or emergency support. If you are in distress, at risk of harm, or need urgent support, please contact emergency services (000 in Australia) or a crisis service such as Lifeline (13 11 14).

Each person responds differently, and while many clients feel lighter, clearer or more relaxed after a session, shifts can sometimes bring temporary emotional or energetic processing. These sessions are offered with care but do not guarantee specific outcomes. You are encouraged to consult with a healthcare provider if you have existing health conditions, are pregnant, or have concerns like sound sensitivity.

All intuitive, psychic and oracle readings are offered for reflection and insight, and are not guaranteed to be predictive or accurate. I always encourage you to use your own discernment and never rely on a reading for legal, medical, financial or life-critical decisions.

Yes — energy healing can be booked for children and is offered remotely.

Remote sessions are often well suited to children, as they allow the work to take place without the child needing to attend an in-person session or engage in something that may feel unfamiliar. This approach can support emotional balance, general wellbeing, and, in some cases, learning or behavioural challenges.

Sessions for children are offered as a remote dedication for both modalities. Ashati requires the child to be relaxed for the duration of the session, which may not suit all children. For this reason, SimplyALIGN is generally the preferred modality, as it does not require the child’s participation or relaxation.

An optional Zoom call with the parent or caregiver can be arranged after the session to share insights, though this is not essential.

You’re welcome to reschedule or cancel your session with at least 24 hours’ notice. Short-notice cancellations may incur a late fee, and missed appointments may be charged in full. Please get in touch if you’re unsure or need support around your booking.
