Open the heart, together
The Private Cacao Ceremony is a beautiful group experience — available for up to 8 people — facilitated by Adela using ceremonial-grade cacao. Known as the 'food of the gods', cacao is a gentle plant medicine that opens the heart, lifts mood, and heightens presence without psychoactive effects.
Adela guides the ceremony with intention-setting, breathing, meditation, and sharing. The result is an atmosphere of warmth, connection, and genuine openness that is difficult to create in any other way. Ideal for group retreats, hen parties, friendship gatherings, or any group wanting a meaningful shared experience in the beauty of Hanmer Springs.

Your questions answered
Do I need to believe in energy healing?
No belief is required — just an open and curious mind. Many clients come to healing sessions out of simple curiosity and find the experience deeply relaxing and insightful.
What should I expect in a session?
You'll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table. Sessions are gentle and non-invasive. Adela may use light touch, sound, or guided breath depending on the modality.
How many sessions are recommended?
This varies by individual and intention. Some people find a single session profoundly clarifying; others choose a series. Adela can guide you at your first appointment.
Is this appropriate for emotional difficulty?
Yes. Adela is a qualified practitioner experienced in holding safe space for emotional processing. All sessions are completely confidential.
