Rachael Kane

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE FIRST SESSION?

The first session is a mutual assessment to gauge whether we are a good fit in terms of personality, rapport and techniques. Rachel will ask you questions about your life history, health, concerns and what you may want to achieve during the sessions. There will be time to work together using some of the techniques and processes and how they may work for you.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ISIS SESSION?

The client gets to lie down comfortably on a futon mattress with eyes closed whilst the practitioner sits by their side. The client is guided into a meditative state by the practitioner and once in this state an enhanced state of awareness and sensitivity to subtle energies unfolds. Often clients can have the experience of their emotions being like waves in their consciousness. Whilst in this state, the practitioner asks the client questions about their inner vision and an interactive space is engaged in order to assist the client to move deeper to the source of their experience. Often there is a somatic component to the ISIS session where the practitioner presses a spot (of course depending where it is) on the client’s body. This can assist the client to focus their awareness into the particular emotions and sensations that are being highlighted in the inner space of their subtle energies.

At all times the client has clear awareness and control over the process during an ISIS session. If the client wished to return to a normal state of consciousness they only have to open their eyes. Clients often share their experiences of the inner space to the practitioner throughout the ISIS session.

IS THE SESSION CONFIDENTIAL?

Your privacy is valued. All personal information gathered during the provision of the service will remain confidential and secure except when:

• It is subpoenaed by a court, or
• Failure to disclose information would place you or another per son at risk; or

Your prior approval has been obtained to;

• provide a written report to another professional and/or agency (eg. a GP or lawyer).
• discuss the material with another per son (eg. employer or relative).
• If I feel that you are going to commit suicide, I must contact someone who can protect you from carrying out your plan.
• If you tell me about any child abuse case that has not already been brought to the attention of authorities, I must contact appropriate people (e.g., Child Protection Authority).
• If you tell me that you have been sexually abused by any licensed health care professional, I am obliged to report the alleged abuser to the authority that governs that person. You, as the client, can choose to remain anonymous.

CAN I GET A MEDICARE REBATE FOR SESSION?

Clients referred by a GP or a Psychiatrist are eligible to receive Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Please bring a copy of your Mental Health Care Plan to the first session.

If you have a referral from your Doctor you can receive a rebate of approximately $83 for up to 10 sessions in a year. When you book your appointment with your GP you need to tell their receptionist to make a long appointment for a Health Care Plan (Item 2710) to ensure your GP has enough time to complete a short questionnaire to qualify you for Medicare benefits.

CAN I CLAIM FROM MY HEALTH FUND?

If you have ancillary benefits for psychology with your health fund you are able to claim your consultations.

HOW DO I PAY FOR THE SESSION?

Rachel sees clients for 1.5 hours and fees are payable at the end of each session by cash, cheque or paypal.

IS THERE A CANCELLATION POLICY?

Please provide 24 hours notice by phone if you need to cancel your appointment otherwise you will be charged the full fee.
