MY WHY

Several years ago I developed rosacea after experiencing a gut health syndrome. I was not able to find relief working with a dermatologist, or even my naturopathic doctor. After years of frustration I became aware of Facial Reflexology. I’ve been supporting my self with this practice for years & it has supported my wellness immensely. I felt inspired to get certified in this practice & have the pleasure of sharing this gift & seeing incredible results!

HOW DOES IT WORK & WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Facial reflexology deeply relaxes the brain, putting you into a meditative state, which allows increased well-being & energy. The technique works by balancing your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). There can be energy blocks in the body which create difficulty in circulation & restriction in energy flow. Stimulating reflexology points releases the flow of vital life force which nourishes our body. This practice enhances energy flow to every organ & body part promoting health, well-being, & beauty from the inside out. In my practice I have seen that facial reflexology is particularly beneficial for those with inflammatory diseases. Clients have reported increased energy & less frequent pain lasting up to 2 weeks post-session. This offering is a very nice accompaniment to a Reiki session or on its own.

WHAT TO EXPECT

As the receiver of this practice you will lay fully clothed on a comfy massage table. We will begin the session with several deep breaths, a visualization, relaxing music & essential oils (if desired). I use a stainless steel flow-method Reflex Detector (AKA The Magic Wand!) to stimulate a series of points on your face. The tool has a soft point & is weighted to nest into the stimulated area for gentle release & energy flow. This tool was created by my instructor Jackie Van Ruler (Mind Body Beauty Institute). It is made from medical grade stainless steel & glides nicely on the skin. Being that steel is conductive, you will also receive the benefit of Reiki healing energy as it flows from my hands & through the tool. This provides ultimate healing & relaxation.

FAQ's

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I RECEIVE THE PURE ENERGY FACIAL MEDITATION (PEFM)?

I recommend starting with a 5 session series over the course of 2 weeks. Consistency in the beginning trains your brain & nervous system to get into & stay in a state of relaxation. We will assess your needs moving forward & home program coaching is available to maintain session benefits over time.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT/ HOW WILL IT FEEL?

You will ideally come to the session make-up free, with facial jewelry (nose, lip rings) removed, if possible. Most people feel a deep, relaxing effect. Some may feel energy moving, vibrations or electrical pulsations. For some, emotions come up as stagnant energy is released. Every person will have a slightly different experience. Following a session, you may notice you have more or less energy. Your body will tell you whether it needs rest. You will want to stay hydrated & may feel increased thirst. You will likely notice an immediate change in the vibrancy of your complexion. Most clients notice a mini “facelift” effect with glowing skin.

IS PEFM RIGHT FOR ME?

YES! PEFM can have positive effects for everyone, whether they are experiencing skin conditions or merely want to reap the benefits of a relaxed state.

There are several conditions that require extra considerations, so please inform me if one of the following applies to you:

• PEFM can be performed 2 weeks or more after a Botox treatment & 4 weeks or more after a Filler.

• PEFM can be beneficial for promoting wellness & vibrancy during pregnancy & I will adjust our session accordingly.

• PEFM can be beneficial for colds, flu, or sinus infections. We will assess your level of infection & develop a plan.

• PEFM can promote faster healing & decrease inflammation from surgeries, injuries, or other medical treatment by working around them. Open wounds will be avoided.

CAN I DO FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY ON MYSELF?

Yes! I offer home program coaching sessions with personalized face maps & instructions for those who have completed a minimum of 2 sessions with me. Initial appointments are extremely helpful in setting the tone for your practice & setting the best foundation for your skin. There is also a different level of impact on the nervous system receiving the treatment vs. doing reflexology on yourself.
