Who Can Benefit?
Because they are tailored to the needs of the individual, these sessions can be effective both in enhancing well being and in aiding recovery from illness or injury. They are not a substitute for appropriate medical or psychological care, but research suggests that these approaches can
- Enhance health and vitality
- Reduce stress
- Boost the immune system
- Relieve headaches & back pain
- Improve circulation & respiratory function
- Alleviate depression and insomnia
- Ease digestive problems & constipation
- Increase flexibility
- Be beneficial for arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and a wide variety of other common ailments.
Before Your Session:
- Plan to settle in a few minutes before the scheduled appointment so the session can begin on time.
- Wear loose comfortable clothing (preferably made with natural materials such as cotton)
- Allow 1-2 hours for digestion prior to your session – you will enjoy the session most if you are neither hungry nor too full.
During Your Session:
- Relax and enjoy!
- Make yourself comfortable.
- Feel free to give feedback and ask for what you need.
- Sensations of warmth/coolness or tingling/numbness are common as your body relaxes, releases tension, and your energy becomes more balanced.
After Your Session:
- Drink plenty of (warm) water to help your system process the changes.
- Plan to relax and spend the rest of the day quietly if possible so you can be aware of and enjoy the effects of the session.
- You may feel energized or you may discover that you need more rest for a few days afterward – both reactions are common.
