what to expect
Each person's process is unique!
What should I wear?
Depending on the kind of session you book, if it is focused on craniosacral, you will remain clothed during the session. If you are receiving a session focused on massage techniques, you will undress to your comfort level.
Wear comfortable, loose clothes similar to what you would wear to exercise or do yoga.
Jeans and short skirts are not recommended.
What should I expect during an in-person session?
We will use verbal / somatic processing and therapeutic bodywork and energy work to identify and process mental, emotional, and physical pain or tension. Touch can vary from light touch, gentle rocking, and deep pressure. We will communicate to make sure you are always within your comfort zone. This is your session and time to process anything you'd like support around. Each session is unique, and we will work together to bring alignment to the issues you’d like to address.
Generally, most people feel very relaxed during the session, and go into a meditative relaxed state.
What should I expect during an online or phone session?
Usually, online sessions focus more on Somatic Trauma Coaching. Depending on what practitioner you work with, online sessions may vary. Online sessions can be very similar to in-person sessions, except that we will be doing the same Craniosacral and Polarity techniques from a distance.
Sessions are through Zoom or on the phone, and can be done sitting up or lying down. Usually we will start sitting up, and then could transition to lying down. Many clients like to be on their bed or couch so they can be comfortable.
And process-based work such as Family & Systems Constellations using objects or the inner eye for working with trî or amy.
How will I feel after the session?
Everybody is different, and there is no “normal” way to feel during or after a session. Effects can be immediate, or sometimes can take a few days for the body or mind to process. Sometimes, the issue may get worse before it gets better.
We recommend that you notice what comes up for you and be gentle with yourself if you feel a little more sensitive than usual. Healing can take time, and the more you can allow ourselves to be with what comes up physically or emotionally, the more those issues can release or shift.
What can I do after the session to retain the most positive benefits?
One of the most important thing you can do is to drink lot of water after your session! This will help any metabolic waste that is released from your tissues to cleanse from your body.
It can be helpful to not plan anything for right after your session. Take time to rest or do activitties that feel nourishing and supportive to your system.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Please give 48 hrs notice for any cancellations or if you need to reschedule.
Cancellations, outside of illness or emergency, will be charged at the full session rate.
Call, text, or email or make changes online via your appointment email confirmation.
