Health Intake Form Please complete and return the Health Intake Form a minimum of 24 hours before your first session so that I have to prepare. Traditionally in Ayurveda the intake occurs during the appointment, but I like to get a head start so that we can get right into things and maximize our time together. Payment Payment is required to secure your appointment. If there is an issue with fees, please let me know so we can discuss options before proceeding. If you didn’t submit payment at time of booking, you can send via PayPal (sachi@elmental-alchemy.com) or Venmo (@Elemental-Alchemy). Checks payable to Elemental Alchemy, LLC are also accepted ahead of your session. Please let me know if this is your preferred method. Virtual Sessions All appointments currently take place via Zoom. If a link was not generated at time of booking, one will be sent to you. If you are not longer able to connect at the selected time, please reschedule a minimum of 24 hours beforehand, as per the cancellation policy. Make a Commitment You are the most important part of this experience! And, 70% of reaching your desired outcome is the commitment you bring to this process: 30% is the skills, information and tools I bring to the table. So that you get the most out of our time together, make these appointments a priority, and as best you can, create the space needed to integrate whatever unfolds. Have an Open Mind You know where you want to go with your health, and I am here to support that! The pathway from where you are now and what you envision may be exactly what you thought, or something unexpected and new. I will not ask you to do anything you either dislike or find unsustainable, but I do invite you try things a few times before deciding whether it is, or isn’t, for you. Who knows, you may be surprised! Read, and then Reread Session Notes If you’re new to Ayurveda or it’s been some time since you engaged with the core principles, please read this Ayurveda 101 and Introduction to Nature’s Five Elements before our first appointment. After each session I will send you a summary and a detailed plan for the week ahead. From time to time reviewing both the introductory posts and the session summaries is a great way to deepen your understanding and celebrate your growth. For Your Comfort Your physical comfort is an important aspect of our work together. In planning for your session, please identify a quiet space with minimal distractions. Manage Your Appointments I prefer not to use valuable session time for scheduling so for convenience, you can view my Calendly page to book or edit confirmed session. Enjoy! This is time you are taking to connect with yourself and invest in your own health. When approached with a sense of childlike curiosity and wonder, the process can be one that helps you feel more connected, harmonious, present and joyful. All the while, I will meet you where you are, as you are, with my full presence, warmth and support.AND, TO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS EXPERIENCE…..
