Agreements of Service & Disclosure Statement

Welcome to The Otherworldly Archive! I am honored to work with you, and excited that you found this space to connect. It’s important that we share the same understanding and agreement on how we will be working together.

Statement of Intent:

All services delivered by Shosh (The Otherworldly Archive LLC) are meant to help you feel self-empowered in your intuition, body, and life experiences. Shosh crafts a space that honors comfort, non-judgement, ancestral wisdom, and respect. They will honor any and all spirits or energies showing up for you.

Please note that techniques used do not include psychotherapy, medical advice, or legal advice. Any psychological stress that interferes with your ability to function should be treated by a professional in the mental health field. If you are looking for psychotherapy or consistent emotional/mental assistance, please find a professional counselor or therapist. Intuitive energetic work and mentoring may amplify the healing you do in therapy, but it is not meant to “fix” or absolve major emotional or psychological wounds. Only you can discern what your healing journey looks like. Please read the following, and should you agree to each statement and feel called to work with Shosh, please continue to the booking page.

Shosh offers various types of sessions centered around energetic healing, intuitive reading, and connecting to your higher self. Shosh is a certified Master-Level Usui Reiki practitioner that uses this form of healing and other intuitive methods to facilitate the work that they do.

To confirm an appointment, payment needs to be received first. Payments are non-refundable and serve as an agreement for an energetic exchange between Shosh and their clients.

Shosh comes to every session free of distractions and sober, they respectfully ask that you do the same to create a safe space in session. 

When you book, you are agreeing to meet at the designated time/date you schedule. If you must reschedule, there needs to be a minimum of 24 hours notice. Shosh understands emergencies arise and will accommodate those on a case-by-case basis.

Shosh facilitates their sessions in a collaborative manner. There is no hierarchy as we work together to transform. Our gifts are reflected in each other, they exist to help others. Shosh is dedicated to uplifting your wellbeing, and holding space for you on this journey as an energetic healer and mentor.​​​​

You are welcome and encouraged to reach out to Shosh at any point between sessions if you would like any feedback or have any questions. It is important to facilitate relationships that are mutually respectful, honest, and resourceful.

Risks and Benefits

While there are many positive reviews about Shosh’s services, it is impossible to guarantee any specific results using the services they offer. Outcomes reported include a greater awareness, deep peace, meaningful spiritual connections, and validation. Shosh works very hard to create a safe environment where consent is emphasized. You will never have to do anything you do not want to or resonate with, and you will always be informed of the practice before any energetic healing is performed. At any point in the process if you feel that you do not want to continue, this will be honored. You agree to take full responsibility for your self-care in the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of your life.

Any breathing techniques, practices, or movements encouraged should be practiced with a generally healthy body. Please consult your physician if you are not sure if these practices are right for you.

General Guidelines

If you have underlying conditions with the heart, blood pressure, or are pregnant it is recommended to consult your physician before engaging in any meditative breathing techniques that may be encouraged in session.

If you are sick with a fever, bronchitis, pneumonia, cancer, or severe migraine an energetic session may not be beneficial for you and may pose a risk. Please contact your physician for further guidance. 

It is not recommended to book a session with Shosh if you are going through severe psychological pain or disturbance, grief, trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, or suicidal feelings. These are things you should consult a professional doctor or licensed counselor or therapist to work through.
