How long is a session? 

A first time visit or initial session after a long hiatus is up to 2 hours. All sessions thereafter are typically 1 hour.

Sessions of RoHun Transformation Therapy are up to 3 hours. These sessions are always scheduled in advance.

Do I need to do anything before, during or after a session?

In preparation for your session, allow yourself to be with whatever arises within your emotional, mental and physical bodies.  It is typical that once the commitment and appointment for subtle energy work is made deeper feelings, thoughts and insights surrounding the presenting imbalance arise.  Just be with it all.

Additionally, ponder what your intention is. An intention is consciously setting a focus point for your continued path towards greater health and well-being. What is your desire for your health? What is it you want?  When you know that answer and it feels right then set that as your focus, setting your intention. 

During the session, your job is the 3 R’s. Rest, relax and receive.  You don’t have to do anything at all.  You may have your eyes opened or closed.  You may stay awake or fall asleep but your job is to simply be.  Allowing yourself to move into greater states of resting,  relaxing and letting yourself go into deeper places of receiving healing and returning to balance.

Subtle energy therapy is continually interactive.  At times you may need to express yourself and I may need to engage with you concerning the energetic data that is arising within your field.  These are times when dialogue occurs.

Immediately after the session is complete you will have time to integrate.  Journaling, drawing, and recording your thoughts are good ways to continue to assimilate your experience. Individualized recommendations are given for you to do at home.  The effects of the subtle energy work will continue after the session and this provides continued support.

What do I wear?

For bodywork:
Wear loose comfortable lounge or exercise wear such as a tee-shirt and sweat pants, exercise clothing or and equivalent is just fine.  Feel free to bring these clothes to change privately into once you arrive at the office. Jeans and corduroys are the only items in the “what-not-to-wear” category for a shiatsu bodywork session.

For all other energy healing sessions:
Anything you wear is fine.  Of course, hopefully, it is also comfortable and loose fitting.  Additionally, belts, shoes and eyewear are taken off for the duration of the session.

How many sessions do I need?

I have clients who are healthy and well and have energy work regularly as a part of their healthcare regimen.  They fall into three types:

    1. Clients who schedule regular monthly maintenance visits. I recommend these for most people who are healthy and well.  They optimize health through helping to maintain a healthy energy system.
    2. Clients who come for maintenance visits made as their schedule allows.
    3. Clients who come for seasonal visits..  These are called tune-ups and are scheduled at the beginning of each new season:  spring, summer, fall and winter.

I have other clients who come in to ease acute or chronic conditions.  The amount of sessions needed is discussed at the first visit. In general, I’ve observed that the longer a condition has been present, typically, the more treatments are necessary to help the clients’ energy matrix to return to balance.  Progression towards his or her desired goal is primary so after 3 sessions and, when necessary, every 3 sessions thereafter we do a check-in to ensure the client is progressing positively towards their desired health goal.

There are other situations, which require daily or almost daily sessions within the same week. These situations are very different in scope.  Some have included clients who have had burns, surgery, migraines, suffering from side effects of chemotherapy/radiation treatments, hospice and more.  In these situations and because of the frequency of visits special scheduling arrangements are made.

How does this work?

All living systems have energy. This energy continually emanates from all life and is in constant interplay with its surroundings. Every human being, animal, plant and living organism is in continuous dialogue because of this fluid and vast sea of energy that we are all made of and that we all live in.

Modern physics and, specifically, emerging studies in the field of quantum physics supports how subtle energies and biofield therapy works. Detailed information on studies can be found at the Institute for Noetic Sciences and The International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM).

What can I expect when I come for a session?

At the start of the initial appointment, time is spent gathering information from you and sharing particulars about the upcoming session.  At the beginning of follow up sessions, time is spent checking in and receiving updates about your experiences and progress.

After the initial intake or check-in is complete, you move to the massage table and rest.   I conduct a pre-assessment of your human energy system and coupled with your information, a protocol is created that assists you on your road to better health.

The active phase of the session begins.  Often I start with a guided meditation to help you shift into a deeper relaxed state and then the actual bio energy treatment starts.  This treatment is the protocol of modalities I feel best meets your needs.  Sessions are different and unique. Typically, people find themselves moving into greater states of relaxation as the session progresses.  Many enter into a feeling of deep trance.  This is a natural by-product as the relaxation response is induced in the body as a result of the treatment.

Once the active phase is complete you remain on the table for the integration phase.  This phase is as important as the active phase.  During this time your body, emotions, mind and spirit continue to come into deeper levels of homeostasis and the renewed energies settle in.  In fact, the treatment and this phase can and does continue for hours and even days afterwards.

At the completion of the treatment, you return to an upright position and, if you like, we talk.  I share with you information, provide suggestions, make referrals as appropriate and discuss further treatment sessions to support your process.  You may also share, if you wish, and ask any questions.

I have a specific physical, mental or emotional health challenge.  Can this help?

Subtle energy therapy greatly benefits a wide variety of imbalances.  Because it works with the field of energy, which emanates from and is the holistic body of the individual, this work consistently demonstrates how effective it is in many varied health situations.

Healing Touch, one of the core modalities I use, is also used in private practices, medical, wellness and hospice centers and hospitals around the world as a treatment technique for a variety of challenges and life transitions because of its extraordinarily effects results.

Please email me with your specific details and I’ll respond specifically to your situation.  All communication is confidential.

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

A doctor’s referral is not needed. However, it is always best to let all the members of your healthcare team, including your doctor, know what work you are getting done to improve your health and well being.

Will insurance cover treatments?

At times this work is covered by insurance.  Healing Touch™ and massage therapy are covered by insurance sometimes when a doctor writes a specific prescription for them.   How it works is you get a prescription from your doctor for Healing Touch™ or massage therapy.  You receive your session.  I give you a receipt and you submit both the prescription and receipt to your provider.

Another option is that I provide you with a receipt and you submit that to your insurance company.  This may or may not result in reimbursement to you, however, it’s certainly worth a try.  It will, however, educate your insurance provider that these modalities are being used in promoting better health and, perhaps, through doing this you can help effect a change in coverage for the future.
