Frequently asked questions.

There is no fixed script. Some sessions are entirely conversation. Some are mostly quiet, with materials on the table and talking that happens sideways while hands are busy. Meg will ask what you are hoping for at the start, and it is completely acceptable to answer that you do not know.

No. This is holistic wellbeing support and creative practice. It is not clinical treatment, it does not involve diagnosis, and it is not a substitute for care from a registered health professional. Meg's qualifications and professional background are listed in full on the About page: Placeholder: MEG'S QUALIFICATIONS.

No. You do not need to consider yourself creative. Curiosity is enough, and plenty of sessions involve no art materials at all.

Placeholder: SESSION LENGTH. If a session needs to end early, that is fine and it does not change anything about what you choose to give.

Yes. Online sessions run over Placeholder: VIDEO PLATFORM and work well for conversation-led sessions. Weaving and messier art work is easier in person, though people do both from home with materials they already own.

Yes, within limits that Meg will explain at the start of your first session. The main limit is safety: if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, Meg may need to involve someone who can help. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

Please do not wait for a session. Contact emergency services or a crisis line — the numbers are listed on the Therapy page and in the Wellbeing Disclaimer. Meg does not offer an emergency or after-hours service and cannot respond quickly to urgent messages.

Therapy sessions have no set fee. You choose an amount, either when you book or after the session, and that amount does not change the length or the care of the session. You are never asked to justify what you choose.

Yes. Choose 'decide after my session' when you book and Meg will send a private link afterwards. There is no reminder sequence and no follow-up if you do not use it.

Your name and the amount are never displayed publicly, shared, or used in marketing. There is no donor list. Payment processors do collect the details they need for card security, receipts and legal compliance, so it is not anonymous to the payment provider — but it is private in every way Meg controls.

No. Shaman Meg is not endorsed as a deductible gift recipient, so donations cannot be claimed as tax deductions. Any receipt you receive is a payment record, not a tax-deductible donation receipt.

Use the link in your confirmation email, or send a message. Cancelling more than Placeholder: CANCELLATION WINDOW beforehand costs nothing. Inside that window it still costs nothing for donation-based sessions — it simply frees the slot for someone else.

Card payments in Australian dollars through a secure payment provider. Card details are entered on the provider's own form and are never stored by this website. See the Integration Checklist in the project documentation for the provider that has been configured.

Yes. Workshops, artwork and books are all set-price, and every price is shown in Australian dollars including any materials listed. Only therapy uses the donation model.

Join the waitlist on the workshop page. If a place opens up, waitlisted people are contacted in order and given Placeholder: WAITLIST RESPONSE WINDOW to take it before it passes on.

Yes. Private sessions for friends, families, teams or community groups can be arranged. Send a message with a rough group size and what you are hoping for, and Meg will reply with options.

Some sessions are designed for parents and children together, and those are labelled clearly. Other workshops list an age suitability on their page. If your child is close to the listed age, ask — it is usually workable.

Placeholder: SHIPPING REGIONS. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on size and destination. Local pickup from Placeholder: STUDIO ADDRESS is available at no cost for most pieces.

Original artwork and commissions are not returnable unless they arrive damaged or are not as described. Prints, books and objects can be returned within Placeholder: RETURNS WINDOW in original condition. Full detail is in the Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Yes, a small number at a time. Commissions begin with a conversation rather than a brief, and a deposit is taken before work starts. See the commission listing in the Art Shop.

No. Books written by Meg are labelled 'By Meg' and sold here. Recommended books are by other authors, are not sold here, and link out to the retailer stocking them.
