Frequently asked questions
Questions about beginning
Do I need to know which service I want?
Not at all. Tell us what you would like support with, and we can use the introductory conversation to explore which offering—or another kind of support—may be most appropriate.
What happens in an introductory conversation?
We will talk briefly about what brings you to Mast Healing, what you hope to gain, and any access needs or questions you have. We will also explain scope, format, and next steps so you can make an informed choice.
Is Mast Healing a medical or mental health service?
No. Mast Healing provides general wellbeing education, coaching, and restorative practices. We do not diagnose, treat, or manage medical or mental health conditions, and our services are not a substitute for care from appropriately qualified professionals.
Do I need yoga experience or flexibility?
No. Restorative yoga is slow and supported, with options offered throughout. You are encouraged to make choices based on comfort, mobility, energy, and any guidance from your healthcare providers.
What if Mast Healing is not the right fit?
We will be honest about our scope. If your needs are outside it, we may suggest seeking a relevant registered or qualified professional. You are always free to decide not to proceed.
