Thank you for your interest in working with Quantum Energetic Healings LLC and our practitioners, Gene Foster and Shirley Bunnell.  We are providing you with the following information so you can make an informed choice about your decision to engage our services.  Our work together will include a shared understanding of what you hope to accomplish and agreements for supporting those outcomes.  As an intentional and conscious participant in your growth, you will ultimately take all responsibility for and actions related to your health and well-being.  

Theoretical Approach/Services Offered
In our practice we use several innovative techniques and methods which you have the option of using individually or collectively as part of working together.  We offer energy sessions and energetic testing of the organs and systems within the body, Biofield-Tuning sessions, Ajna Light Therapy sessions, Conscious Coaching, Aromatherapy and Pure Certified Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, meditations, intuitive advice/coaching, and sound healing.  The prevailing premise of energy work is that the flow and balance of the body’s electromagnetic and more subtle energies are important for physical, spiritual, and emotional health, and for fostering transformation.  As intuitive practitioners of the healing arts, we use techniques to balance our clients’ energy systems and to communicate spirit to spirit with our clients.  If you ever have questions or concerns about the nature of the theories and methods we use, please feel free to ask us for further resources or references.

The techniques we use in our practice are considered “alternative” or “complementary” to healing arts that are licensed by the State of California.  Although we have extensive experience in the healing arts, we’re not licensed in the State of California as a physician, psychologist, or other licensed health care provider nor are our services licensed by the State of California.  Under Sections 2053.5 and 2053.6 of California’s Business and Professions Code, we can offer you our services, subject to the requirements and restrictions that are described fully in the attached Client Information Sheet incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Client Informed Consent and Disclosure Statement.

Outcome Expectations / Risks & Benefits
The intuitive methods we use appear to result in positive outcomes and clients have found them to be effective and beneficial.  However, it is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your goals using any of the techniques or products we offer, and we don’t know how you will personally respond to any of the techniques.  However, we will work together to achieve the best possible results for you. 

The clinical reports from energy work show no significant side-effects when used appropriately.  However, please be advised that in our work together it is possible to experience some emotional distress and/or physical discomfort or additional unresolved memories may surface related to prior life experiences which could be perceived as negative side effects.  Emotions or physical discomfort may continue to arise after a session and you are encouraged to discuss such emotions or physical discomfort with us and, if appropriate, we can refer you to a licensed health care professional for further assistance.
