Sessions with Children
Adina feels very attuned to children and speaks to them in a way that lets them know she honors them as unique souls. Adina has worked with children for many years and is also a mother. Adina can easily move in and out of being serious and silly with your child to make them feel comfortable in their session.
What to expect?
Sessions with children are very much the same as sessions with adults. We create a ritual space for your child to dwell in, in order to release any heavy energy that is preventing your child from feeling comfortable in their body, mind or spirit. Then we call in light energy to fill up the newly empty spaces.
What ages is this appropriate for?
This really varies, depending on the child. It is nice to have a child who is old enough to be able to share his or her experience in words, with clear sentences. Yet Adina has worked with very young children who do not have the ability to use very many words. If the parent is feeling like shamanic work may help their child, contact Adina to discuss it.
Cost for Sessions with Children is $80 per session
The time for a session is typically 1 1/2-2 hours because of the child's attention span.
There is additional time spent on the phone with the parent to clarify the intention for the session in advance. For an adult client this is done as part of the face to face session.

- The parent should prepare the child in advance about what to expect, so the child is not surprised or scared. The parent can frame it as an exciting event for the child. Something like: "we will talk with a woman named Adina, you can share with her what is bothering you, you will lay down and breath with her to release this issue, she will help you bring light into your body, it will be a special time, and we will do it together."
- The parent (or parents) will stay during the session as a support for the child (on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level).
- Adina will talk with the child about why he/she has come. The intention is framed from the child's perspective (not from the parent's) so that the child can deeply engage with the process. Of course Adina will have a conversation on the phone with the parent prior to the appointment to hear about the situation from the parent's perspective and speak about any details that may not be appropriate to talk about in front of the child at the appointment. (This is usually not done in advance with adults.)The parent is also welcome to help the child while in the session clarify his or her thoughts.
- As with adult sessions, Adina will have a dialogue with the child client during the ceremony.
