DISCLAIMER

Sinead de hOra maintains this website to enhance public access to information about her activities. Her goal is to keep this information timely and accurate. The information accessible on this website, particularly the synopsis of Energy Healing, is derived from a variety of sources and includes statements of opinion. Despite her best efforts, there may be inaccuracies or points upon which other practitioners of Energy Healing may disagree.

Sinead is an Empath, a Clairvoyant, a Clairsentience. Sinead does believe that the body expresses physical pain and dis-ease because of emotional stress and energy healing and Intuitive Guidance can enhance most cases. However, if you have serious illness/ injury, you must visit your medical doctor and take action where required. For example: if you fall and break a bone, you will need to go to the hospital. A healing session can reduce pain and speed up the healing process but a medical action is required.  

Therefore www.sineaddehora.com website is not a substitute for the advice provided by a medical professional. Always consult a doctor or other qualified health professional if you have personal concerns. DISTANCE HEALING IS NOT SUFFICIENT IN TIMES OF PHYSICAL EMERGENCY. Be sensible and contact your doctor, do not wait for a response from info@sineaddehora.com for any emergency situation.

Intuitive Guidance is always shared in highest regard for your wellbeing. Sinead only shares positive energy and insight with the use of tools and techniques from the modalities that she has studied in throughout the years. Sinead does not diagnose or offer medical prescriptions of any kind. All of Sinead’s sevices are based on Alternative therapies and holistic wellbeing.
