Each session is completely unique to each individual and how a session looks varies just as much. Some sessions are all spirit delving into past lives, the ethereal plane, and other aspects of one’s spirituality. Some sessions deal strictly with the mind and the slough of circumstances that can lead to complex issues. Still others reside completely with the physical body. More than not, though, the session is an amalgam of the three, spirit, mind, and body.

Targeting a specific area or issue can either come up organically in the session(s) or you can make this known prior to the session and that will be the agenda for the that particular session, thus moving toward finding the root of that issue.
