Yes. Participants must be 18 years of age or older to join Sanamente Healing Circles. This is to ensure developmental appropriateness, group cohesion, and to comply with ethical standards for peer support spaces.

You will be asked to confirm your age on the registration form.

The total cost is $275 for the full six-week series. Full payment is due upon registration to reserve your spot. Missed sessions are non-refundable.

This includes six 90-minute live sessions, digital resources, and access to a confidential, community-rooted support circle.

Yes. A two-part payment plan is available upon request:

• First payment due before Session 1

• Second payment due by Session 3

Payment must be completed by the end of the series. Missed sessions are non-refundable.

While Squarespace does not process HSA/FSA directly, participants may submit their invoices or receipts to their plan administrators for potential reimbursement. Please keep your payment receipt for documentation.

We understand life happens. However, due to the limited size and intimate nature of the group, missed sessions will not be refunded or credited. You are encouraged to attend at least three (3) of the six sessions to maintain group safety and consistency.

• Refunds are not available after the group begins due to limited capacity

Registration closes after the third session. This helps maintain cohesion and psychological safety. If you miss the current round, you can join the waitlist for the next cohort.

Yes, you absolutely can. Respiro is an adjunct to individual therapy—not a replacement. Many participants find that attending a peer-led healing circle alongside therapy helps deepen their insight, regulation skills, and sense of connection. It’s a powerful complement that allows you to process in community what you’re exploring individually.

No. Sanamente Healing Circles are peer-led support spaces, not clinical therapy. While facilitated by a licensed mental health provider, this group is not a substitute for individual therapy or crisis care.

That’s a great question.

Group therapy is a clinical service where a licensed therapist provides structured treatment, documents clinical progress, and addresses mental health diagnoses using specific therapeutic interventions. It’s considered formal medical care and is often covered by insurance.

In contrast, peer-led support groups—like Sanamente Healing Circles—are not therapy.
While the group is facilitated by a licensed mental health professional, they are not acting as your therapist during the circle. These groups focus on shared lived experience, emotional validation, community support, and nervous system awareness, not treatment or diagnosis.

There is no clinical documentation, diagnosis, or treatment planning in a peer group, and participation is not part of your medical or mental health record.

No. To protect confidentiality and create a safe space, sessions will not be recorded under any circumstance. Participants agree to the same standard—no screenshots, notes, or recordings of any kind.

No. Your participation will not be recorded, documented, or added to any clinical or medical file. This is a confidential, non-clinical peer support space.

Yes, we ask that participants keep cameras on during sessions to foster connection, trust, and presence. You are welcome to take brief breaks as needed, and accommodations can be discussed individually.

No. This group is open to participants across the U.S. However, those residing in Texas may receive more localized referrals for therapeutic support if needed.

Yes, you’re welcome to refer others. However, due to the confidential and intimate nature of this group, we ask that you do not share the registration link directly. Instead, please refer them to the official registration page or waitlist so they can complete the required consent process.

If a participant breaches confidentiality or behaves in a way that disrupts group safety, they may be removed from the group without refund. This is to ensure the space remains respectful, confidential, and healing for all.
