I understand that:

​

1. Kristy Engelke is not a licensed physician; her services 1) are alternative or complementary to healing arts services licensed by the State of California, and 2) are not licensed by the State of California;

​

2. Kristy Engelke Luminous Alchemy services are modeled after a reiki healing method developed by Mikao Usui;

​

3. Usui Reiki is healing method based on the theory that 1) the practitioner is able to access universal life force energy for the benefit of the client; 2) this energy is plentiful and available to everyone; and 3) it is accessed through the intention to align with it;

​

4. During a reiki session, Kristy Engelke will ask me to sit or lie comfortably while fully clothed; she will place her hands lightly on or just over me (either physically, during an in-person service, or over my energetic field during a distance service), and move them through a series of placements from my head to my feet;

​

5. I will be guided through relaxation, visual imagery, and/or stress reduction techniques. I am aware these modalities are non-medical in nature and it is my responsibility to consult my regular doctor about any changes in my condition or changes in my medication;

​

6. Reiki is not a substitute for regular medical care and I have been advised to consult my regular medical doctor or health-care practitioner for treatment of any old, new or existing medical conditions;

​

7. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions nor do they prescribe or perform medical treatment, prescribe substances, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional; and 

​​

8. Reiki services can complement any medical or psychological care I may be receiving; they do not take the place of medical care, and it is recommended that I see a licensed physician or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment. 

​

9. I take responsibility for receiving Kristy Engelke's services and release her from responsibility for any mental, emotional, or physical changes which may or may not occur after receiving her services. 

​

10. No information about me will be discussed or shared with any third party without my written consent (or the written consent of my parent/guardian if I am under the age of 18).
