Preparing for your Online Healing Session: Essential tips.

Written By Diana Gavriil

Congratulations on Taking the First Step

Whether you’ve done a lot of inner work or you’re new to healing, I’m so glad you’re here, and I’m honored to be on this journey with you. Taking this step is powerful, and you are exactly where you need to be.

What to Expect

Your session is designed to be a transformative experience, guiding you through emotional release, self-discovery, and deep healing. Using the Self Directed Healing (SDH) framework, each session is uniquely tailored to your personal needs, helping you uncover, process, and release emotional blocks.

This is a transformative experience designed to help you feel lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself. You will be fully supported throughout the journey.

How To Prepare For Your Session

To get the most out of this experience, here are a few gentle reminders:

Set Up Your Tech

✔If possible, use a laptop or computer for stability.
✔ If using a phone, place it on a stand or prop it up to remain hands-free.
✔ Ensure your device is fully charged or plugged into a power source.
✔ Download Zoom (if you haven’t already) and test it on your device.
✔ Check your internet connection to ensure a smooth experience.
✔ Charge your device and make sure both video and audio are working.

Choose a Comfortable Space

✔ Your session runs for 90 minutes, so find a spot where you can fully relax.
✔ Choose a quiet space where you can sit or lie down comfortably.
✔ Minimize distractions—silence notifications and let those around you know you’ll be unavailable.

Final Reminders

✔ Keep water and tissues nearby.
✔ Log on 5 minutes early to settle in before we begin.
✔ If possible, avoid alcohol or substances for 24 hours beforehand—this helps create greater clarity and connection.
✔ Arrive with an open mind and heart, just as you are.
