Top Questions
How should I prepare for our time together?
What should I expect from my first session?
Do you help treat terminal or chronic illness?
Who are these offerings for?
How far in advance should I reach out?
For in-person offerings, please reach out at least 21 days (3 weeks) before your desired date. For virtual and remote offerings, please reach out at least 14 days (2 weeks) in advance. Some circumstances may allow for more flexibility, but advance notice gives us room to have a proper conversation, tend to access needs, and prepare the offering with intention.
How much do offerings cost?
Offerings are priced according to the time, care, materials, and intention we design together. I offer community access rates, as well as trades and barters when appropriate. If the listed rate isn't workable for you, it is okay to ask about other possibilities rather than assuming the door is closed.
Do you work with men?
Yes! My work is not exclusive to any gender or sex. Most, if not all of my offerings are there for the inclusion of both gender exapansive and cisgender clientele.
Can you create something that isn't listed?
Yes. Heritage Soul is not limited to the offerings currently listed on this site. If you have something in mind that falls within my scope of practice, we can talk about what you're imagining and whether it makes sense to create it together.
The best way to prepare for your first service with me is to book an initial consulation.
I'll be able to answer your questions about various offerings more in depth and we'll get a chance to know each other. We'll also go over your current situation, assess your needs and goals, then make up a plan from there!
Expect your first session to be free flowing and adaptive as we learn to work with one another's energy in a healing space. Typicially, we will start each session with a quick check in- over a lovely beverage and we may talk more or less each session just depending on your current needs and your progress. You'll leave your first and every session afterwards with new resources and reccomendations to help support your wellness.
My offerings are primarily for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other Global Majority people who see complementary and alternative medicine, spiritual practice, and other forms of whole-person care as meaningful parts of wellbeing. My work most often centers QTIGNC kinfolk within these communities, though this is not exclusive. Ultimately, I trust Spirit to guide me toward the people and relationships I am meant to work with.
The work that I do is best described as Complementary Alternative Medicines (CAM), and while holistic medicine does have amazing benefits for a variety of conditions, its best to use these therapies in conjunction with other healing treatments to ensure your health. My work can certainly help support terminally or chronically ill community members, and help reduce discomfort, but again, it should not be used alone and should not be used without consulting a regular provider.
Access & Accomodation
Health, Safety, & Scope
I offer spiritual, wellness, educational, creative, and community-based practices; these offerings are not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, emergency services, or other licensed healthcare. I do not diagnose conditions, prescribe medications or treatments, or ask you to discontinue care from another provider. When something falls outside my scope, I will be transparent about that and may suggest another kind of support. Your participation is always voluntary, and you can pause, decline, modify, or stop an activity at any point.
These practices are grounded in access, consent, and the understanding that bodies and brains move through the world in many different ways. Offerings can be adapted for mobility, sensory, communication, energy, and other access needs whenever possible. Let me know what would help you participate fully, whether that means a virtual offering, bringing a support person or service animal, avoiding touch or fragrance, changing an activity, or simply moving at a different pace. Access needs can be discussed before booking, and disability-related cancellations or rescheduling will be approached with care rather than punishment.
Privacy & Confidentiality
What you share in the course of an offering is treated with care and discretion. Personal information, stories, and experiences are not used publicly simply because you shared them with me. Projects involving oral history, photography, recordings, artwork, writing, or other forms of cultural memory have their own consent process, including clear conversations about what is being documented, how it may be used, and who has access to it. You can ask questions, set boundaries, or withdraw permission according to the terms we establish together.
Gender, Sexuality & Identity
This work is a celebration of queer, trans, intersex, gender-expansive, and otherwise wonderfully complicated ways of being. You do not need to have your identity figured out, have the right language, or be in a particular stage of transition to seek support around gender. Names, pronouns, bodies, relationships, and identities are treated with respect, and you are welcome to bring uncertainty as well as certainty into the room.
Spiritual & Religious Boundaries
The work we do together can be done without always requiring you to share a particular religion, theology, or worldview- within reason. I take questions of lineage, cultural context, and what is or is not appropriate to share seriously for all cultural, ancestral, religious, or esoteric traditions. You are welcome to bring your own beliefs and practices into our work, and you will never be asked to adopt mine. When a practice has boundaries around who may participate or how it may be practiced, that boundary will be respected rather than blurred for the sake of access.
Professional Roles & Boundaries
My offerings and projects bring together several areas of practice, including spiritual care, doula work, community health work, creative practice, cultural memory keeping, and wellness facilitation. These roles have different scopes, responsibilities, and boundaries, and I will be clear about which capacity I am working in when it matters. Heritage Soul does not provide legal, medical, psychological, or financial advice unless a service is explicitly described as falling within an applicable professional scope. You can always ask what role or practice a particular offering falls under before deciding to participate.
Agreements, Consent & Policies
Depending on the offering, you may be asked to review an agreement, consent form, participation guidelines, or other information before we begin. These are meant to make expectations, boundaries, payment, privacy, and consent clear rather than create unnecessary barriers. Cancellation, rescheduling, payment, and refund terms will be shared before booking, and any questions about those terms are welcome before you commit.
Location & Logistics
Some Heritage Soul practices can be offered one-on-one, while others can take shape with partners, families, friends, creative collaborators, or larger groups. There is not always a required number of participants, and some practices are intentionally able to exist whether one person shows up or many do. If you're interested in bringing an offering into a gathering, event, workplace, community space, or private group, we can talk through what would make sense.
These practices are grounded in access, consent, and the understanding that bodies and brains move through the world in many different ways. Offerings can be adapted for mobility, sensory, communication, energy, and other access needs whenever possible. Let me know what would help you participate fully, whether that means a virtual offering, bringing a support person or service animal, avoiding touch or fragrance, changing an activity, or simply moving at a different pace. Access needs can be discussed before booking, and disability-related cancellations or rescheduling will be approached with care rather than punishment.
Groups & Gatherings
Payment & Community Access
Payment options, rates, community pricing, sliding scale availability, and any applicable deposits will be explained before booking. I believe spiritual, creative, and wellness practices should not be made inaccessible simply because someone's resources look different from someone else's, while also recognizing the material realities of sustaining this work. If the listed rate creates a barrier, you are welcome to ask whether another arrangement is available.
Travel and Location Based Services
I do participate in projects or work that takes place outside of my usual service area of Kansas City, MO when the work calls for it. For location-based offerings, travel arrangements and related costs are discussed during the consultation and agreed upon before anything is booked.
The client or commissioning party is responsible for transportation to and from the location, lodging when an overnight stay is needed, and transportation within the destination area. Due to dietary restrictions- food does not need to be arranged unless we discuss otherwise.
Location, accessibility, travel time, and the nature of the offering will all be considered when we plan the work.
How to reach out for booking?
Our work begins with a conversation rather than a checkout button. The initial consultation gives us room to talk about what you're looking for, answer practical questions, consider access needs, and figure out whether an existing offering fits or something more specific needs to be shaped. From there, we'll decide together what comes next; there is no expectation that you arrive already knowing exactly what you need. To reach out for that initial consultation, email me at heritagesoul.insight@gmail.com.
