SESSIONS
The initial session is one and one half hours long. I ask that you wear loose comfortable clothing. You'll remain dressed throughout each session.
On the first visit, we begin by talking about your history and why you've come. Within this story will be medical, emotional, spiritual and energetic information that helps determine how we will shape the treatment. On the first visit, we may talk for as much as 45 minutes. During that time we'll also discuss your intention for the session. I ask clients to think about this before they arrive. I would like you to consider before we begin, what you're looking for, what you would like to take from the session. This, though it may change as we talk, is valuable information for both of us about the course of the treatment.
After we talk, you'll lie down and get comfortable on a massage table. The treatment involves gentle, non-manipulative hands on therapy. Most clients find it very relaxing and some clients even doze briefly. This allows you to settle in and adjust to the treatment. Depending on what emerges, I may place my hands, always with your permission, on various parts of your body. The feet, lower and upper back, neck and head are frequent focal points. An application of one or more essential oils may be appropriate, always with your permission.
Once the treatment is concluded you can rest and we generally have a short debriefing to clarify what took place so that you'll be able to remember it when you leave.
Treatments often help normalize heart rate and blood pressure, increase blood circulation and lymph flow, relax muscles, improve range of motion, increase endorphin production which affects the perception of pain, and support more rapid recovery from traumatic injury. It is not unusual for clients to feel relaxed and energized and in less pain when they finish each session.
Vera also does phone (and Skype) sessions with clients from all over the world. Please email to set up an appointment.
