1. Practitioner Disclosure
My name is Sarah Jane Riley, CHt, QHHT. I can be contacted at the office address and telephone number above.
Education and Training
I trained in hypnosis at the British School of Yoga in England, where I attained my A.M.I.H. qualification (Associate, Midlands Institute of Hypnotherapy). I have completed a course in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hold certification as a Clinical Certified Hypnotherapist. I am a QHHT practitioner, Reiki Master, and Shamanic Practitioner. I continue to develop my qualifications through ongoing education.
Regulatory Notice
As the State of Florida has not adopted educational or training standards for the practice of hypnotherapy, this statement of credentials is for informational purposes only. Hypnotherapy is a self-regulating profession, and its practitioners are not licensed by state governments. I am not a physician or a licensed healthcare provider, and I do not provide a medical diagnosis or recommend discontinuation of any medically prescribed treatment.
As a client, you have the right to:
- Refuse hypnotherapy, Reiki, or Shamanic services at any time, without retaliation.
- Be free from physical, verbal, or sexual abuse.
- Know the expected duration of your session in advance.
2. Fees & Cancellation Policy
Standard hypnotherapy, Reiki, and Shamanic sessions are charged at $125 per hour, billed in 15-minute intervals.
QHHT sessions are booked separately, with their own intake and consent page — see the QHHT page for QHHT-specific fees, session length, and recording consent.
Fees are due at the end of each session, payable by cash, check, Zelle, or credit card. You will be given 14 days' notice of any change in fees.
Cancellation Policy
I require 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Sessions cancelled or missed without this notice will be charged in full.
3. Confidentiality
I will not release any information about you to anyone without your written authorization, except where required by law. You have the right to access my written records about you.
I recommend you plan to pay for these services personally rather than through insurance. No insurance companies cover hypnotherapy, Reiki, or Shamanic services.
4. Informed Consent — Hypnosis, Reiki & Shamanic Practice
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep, but a natural state of focused relaxation of mind and body. Reiki and Shamanic practice are gentle, complementary energy modalities intended to support relaxation and the body's own capacity to restore balance. None of these are a substitute for medical or psychological care, and none diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or psychiatric condition.
