5. Reiki and Energy Healing Disclaimer
Reiki and energy healing services are intended to promote relaxation and stress reduction. These services do not replace medical treatment. We recommend consulting a licensed healthcare provider for any physical or psychological ailments.
Healing, as provided by Soul-Smudge, LLC, refers to shifts in energy and vibration, not curing physical or psychological conditions. Clients are responsible for integrating the sessions into their personal healing journey.

Additionally, Soul-Smudge, LLC practitioners do not provide personal relationship advice or legal/financial counsel. Decisions regarding relationships, including marriage, are deeply personal and should be made with the assistance of licensed counselors, therapists, or legal professionals.

11. Healing vs. Cure
In all services provided by Soul-Smudge, LLC, healing refers to facilitating shifts in energy and vibration, promoting personal transformation.

-
Service Limitations: The services provided by Soul-Smudge, LLC are intended to complement traditional medical or psychological care. While energy healing and spiritual services may provide relaxation, stress relief, and personal insights, results can vary, and there are no guarantees of specific outcomes.
