F.A.Q

Essence of Cacao is a space for gentle inner exploration, emotional release, and reconnection with yourself, supported by ceremonial cacao and intuitive healing practices. My work blends cacao ceremony with grounded spiritual tools such as EFT tapping, Rahanni, and Intuitive Angelic Healing, always guided by safety, choice, and respect for your own inner wisdom.

This is not about fixing you. It’s about creating a soft, steady space where you can meet yourself more fully.

Ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed cacao that is grown, harvested, prepared and consumed with intention. It has been used for centuries as a heart-opening plant medicine, traditionally in Central and South American cultures. Ceremonial cacao is from the Criollo cacao bean, unlike normal cacao and chocolate.

In modern ceremony, cacao is used gently. It can support emotional awareness, grounding, clarity, and connection. The doses I use are always considerate of nervous system safety and individual sensitivity.

Each ceremony is different, as I work intuitively with the group or individual, but sessions may include:

• A grounding opening and intention setting

• Drinking ceremonial cacao

• Guided meditation or visualisation

• EFT tapping and/or angelic healing

• Quiet reflection or journaling

• A gentle closing

You are always invited, never forced, to participate in any part. Resting, listening, or simply being present is enough.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called tapping, is a gentle, yet very powerful, practice that combines light tapping on specific points of the body with focused awareness.

It can help calm the nervous system, release emotional charge, and create space around thoughts or feelings that feel stuck or overwhelming. In my work, EFT is used softly and intuitively, without pressure to “fix” or force change.

You don’t need prior experience, I will guide you.

Rahanni is a gentle, hands on if you are comfortable with that, form of energy healing that works with compassion, heart-centred awareness, and emotional balance. It is often experienced as deeply calming and supportive.

People commonly describe feeling lighter, more settled, or more connected to themselves after a Rahanni session. It does not require belief or effort on your part, simply openness to rest and receive.

Intuitive Angelic Healing is a non-denominational, heart-led energy healing practice. It works with intention, presence, and a sense of support beyond the mind.

This work is intuitive rather than scripted. It may support emotional release, grounding, clarity, or a sense of being held and guided. No religious belief is required, and nothing is imposed.

The angels will show me what is needed and their energy passes through me to you.

No. While some of the language may feel spiritual, this work is not religious and does not require any belief system. You are welcome exactly as you are, with your own worldview, questions, or uncertainties.

For most people, cacao is absolutely safe. However, it is not suitable for everyone.

A Ceremonial dose of Cacao (42.5g) may not be appropriate if you:

• Are pregnant

• Have certain heart conditions

• Are taking specific medications (such as some antidepressants)

If you are unsure, please get in touch before buying. I am always happy to discuss whether cacao is right for you or suggest alternatives.

You will always be guided on how much to consume in a ceremony or consultation. I will serve you a full dose and you decide how much to drink, honouring your privacy.

Not at all. Everything is guided clearly and gently. You don’t need to know how to meditate, visualise, or “do it right.” There is no right way. Your experience will be your own.

No.

Sharing is only sometimes included and is always optional. You will never be asked to speak or disclose anything unless you genuinely want to.

Silence is respected and welcomed.

No. My work through Essence of Cacao is not psychotherapy or medical treatment. It is a supportive, complementary practice focused on self-awareness, emotional safety, and inner connection.

If you are experiencing significant mental health difficulties, I recommend working alongside a qualified mental health professional.

Emotions are welcome, and so is stillness. You might feel emotional, relaxed, energised, or simply quiet. All responses are valid.

I hold the space gently so that whatever arises can be met with care, without pressure to analyse or change it.

If you’re feeling drawn to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive environment, this work may resonate.

If you’re unsure, trust that uncertainty is allowed too. You’re welcome to reach out with questions before booking.

You are also welcome to trust that if you have read this far, maybe you are being called to this work.
