Ethics & Conduct

Ethics are foundational to Helen's work as an Akashic Records Teacher, Practitioner, Mentor, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner.

 

Rather than viewing ethics as a fixed set of rules, Helen approaches ethics as an ongoing practice of awareness, responsibility, discernment, and accountability. At its core, ethical practice involves understanding the impact of one's actions, honoring the inherent dignity of others, and engaging in the thoughtful and responsible use of power within relationships.

 

Teaching, mentoring, facilitation, and transformational work naturally involve power differentials. Whether working in a one-to-one setting, classroom environment, mentorship relationship, or community space, Helen recognizes the responsibility to steward that influence with care, transparency, humility, and integrity.

 

Helen's ethical commitments include:

​

• Honoring the autonomy, agency, and self-determination of every client and student.

• Practicing clear communication, informed consent, and appropriate professional boundaries.

• Maintaining confidentiality except where disclosure is required by law.

• Recognizing the limits of training, experience, and scope of practice, and making referrals when appropriate.

• Engaging in ongoing personal, professional, and ethical development through continuing education, consultation, supervision, and self-reflection.

• Remaining attentive to issues of power, privilege, bias, and relational impact.

• Taking responsibility for mistakes, misunderstandings, and harm when they occur, and participating in meaningful repair whenever possible.

• Representing qualifications, training, services, and offerings accurately and honestly.

 

Helen believes that ethical practice is inseparable from embodiment and relational integrity. It requires ongoing attention to how individuals show up in relationship with themselves, others, their communities, and the larger systems of which they are a part.

 

The intention of all offerings is not to create spaces free from discomfort or challenge, but to cultivate environments where respect, accountability, consent, curiosity, and care support authentic learning, growth, and transformation.
