FAQS

Answers to commonly asked questions.

What is the procedure for Bowen session?

The therapists uses thumbs or fingers to perform a gentle rolling motion across muscle, tendon, or nerve bundles, aiming to release restrictions. A key component is the therapist leaving the room for 2-5 minutes between sets of moves to allow the body to process and integrate the "re-setting" the neuromuscular system. Bowen Therapy is performed thru clothing and a large cotton t-shirt is provided (or you can bring your own) to wear during the session. Also the client is covered with a blanket during the session to keep the body warm and comfortable.

After a Bowen Therapy session results vary greatly depending on the person. Most people feel completely relaxed and energized following their session. As for pain most people feel an immediate decrease in their body however some may feel an increase in pain which generally goes away after a day or 2. The effects of Bowen take about a week to cascade throughout your body’s intricate physiological structures.

Post-Treatment Care: It is often advised to drink plenty of water and go for short walks to help the body integrate the changes.

Sessions are often spaced 5-10 days apart, with relief sometimes felt after one session, though three to five are typically recommended for lasting results. 

Session may also include any of the following: Amethyst Biomat, Sonic Wave Therapy, Scalar Wave Laser.

Is Bowen Therapy or your other Services covered by OHIP or Private Health Insurance?

Unfortunately my services are not covered by OHIP and most likely not covered by extended private health insurance programs.

Please provide more information for Raindrop Therapy.

Only Young Living pure therapeutic-grade essential oils are used during the session & only applied to feet & back. Nine specific essential oils are dropped from about six inches above the spine to simulate the sensation of raindrops. By the time the session is over your body should not feel greasy. 

It's best to shower before the session, so that you can leave the oils on your body as long as possible afterwards.

For the session we ask you to undress down to your underwear but if you prefer, you can wear a loose fitting or stretchy pants and keep them on. 

After a Raindrop session, people commonly feel deeply relaxed, emotionally balanced, and/or revitalized and rejuvenated. I recommend that you take the rest of the day off after the session just to relax your body and slowly ease it back into the real world. 

Drink plenty of pure water on the day of the session. Eat lightly. I usually recommend that people have 1-2 sessions per month for health maintenance, and 1-2 per week to facilitate the body to heal itself if you are dealing with health issues. Some clients prefer to experience the Raindrop Therapy just for the detoxification effects 3 to 4 times a year, as this can help rid any viruses lying dormant in the spinal fluid and throughout the body.   

The soothing infrared heat, negative ions and crystal energy from the Amethyst Biomat is included in your session! 

Can I purchase Young Living Essential Oil products & other products from you?

Yes absolutely. I have a lot of Young Living products on-hand available for you to purchase from me or I can assist you with ordering directly from Young Living to have product shipped to your home. I am also a distributor for the Scalar Wave Laser and Amethyst Biomat. As well I offer personal consultations, educational workshops and seminars on essential oils and other products.


Please provide more information for MPS Pain & Scar Therapy and Concussion Recovery Therapy (CRT).

Specific therapies/protocols of Pain & Scar Therapy are used to help treat both external and internal adhesions and for Concussion Recovery MPS is applied to specific cranial points to help regulate nerve signaling and reduce symptoms like brain injuries, headaches, migraines and fatigue. The process is extremely gentle and involves releasing the fascia where appropriate. A more or less intense prickling may be felt where on the area being worked on. For scars there is usually significant difference both in the feeling around the scarring and in its appearance after the first session. 

MPS therapies aim to "de-regulate" the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), shifting the body from a "fight or flight" (sympathetic) state to a "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) state to reduce chronic stress and pain.

The therapist uses a handheld device (commonly the Dolphin Neurostim) to apply low-level Direct Current (DC) to specific trigger, motor and acupuncture points. This current mimics the body's natural electrical signals. Research suggests this can increase ATP production—the "energy currency" of cells—by up to 500%, accelerating tissue repair.

Published research proves MPS Pain & Scar Therapy can provide significant pain relief in the 1st session. After a single session, MPS improved pain outcomes 73% on severely chronic pain 51 patients, who suffered an average 7.61 years with an average intensity of 6.33/10. 

In a study using MPS Concussion Recovery Therapy, the results were astounding after a single session: cortisol (stress hormone) reduced by 47%, cognitive functioning improved by 47%, brain fog reduced by 41%, headaches reduced by 33%, ringing in ears reduced by 47% and The King Devick Test (considered a gold standard in evaluating for concussions)reaction time reduced 6% (which means they could answer the questions quicker).    

Most patients require 1-10 treatments for lasting outcomes, however number of sessions also depends on the amount of scar tissue or pain a person is experiencing. 

In most cases depending on part of body being treated no need to remove clothing. Loose, casual and comfortable clothing is recommended.
