Important Information

HeartMind Health Therapy (HHT) is a gentle, non-manipulative, touch-based therapeutic modality. It aims to facilitate relaxation and reconnection to one's deepest vitality, promoting the body/mind's capacity for self-regulation and self-healing.

During an in-person HHT session, the client lies comfortably on the table fully clothed. For remote HHT sessions, the client is encouraged to be in whatever body position allows for maximum comfort.

Throughout the in-person session, the practitioner applies gentle touch to the head and feet to facilitate a synchronous relationship between different parts of the body. Your comfort is paramount, and any changes in physical positioning can be accommodated. Please promptly inform the practitioner of any discomfort.

All remote sessions begin as soon as the phone is answered. The amount of talking does not impact the length, depth, or effect of the treatment.

The following applies to all HHT sessions:

Treatments are deeply relaxing, often leading to sleep. However, sleeping does not diminish the potential effect of the treatment.

Opportunity for communication and discussion is encouraged before, during, and after each session.

To achieve optimal results, it is advised to refrain from consuming drugs and/or alcohol for atleast 24 hours before and after each session.

The duration of each session will be approximately 50 minutes, with the total number of required sessions determined on a case-by-case basis. Please note that no guarantees regarding the specific number of treatments can or will be provided. Many clients experience significant improvements between four and ten treatments.

Risks & Side Effects: When it comes to risks and side effects, participating in this treatment may involve potential discomfort.

Between sessions: It is common for individuals to initially feel energy, ease, clarity, and happiness. However, it is normal to experience moments of fatigue, depression, and anxiety as well.

As treatment progresses, the experience of vitality and healthfulness tends to expand while rebounding experiences diminish. If any experiences feel uncomfortable or concerning, please notify your practitioner or doctor promptly.
