MICROCURRENT POINT STIMULATION

Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) is a treatment method that uses a handheld machine called a Dolphin Neurostim to provide microcurrent stimulation to various acupuncture points/meridians to help relax muscles, promote blood flow to the local area and to calm the nervous system. MPS treatment helps to move energy and thereby promote relaxation and decrease stress in the body. Depending on the treatment, you can either lay on a treatment table or sit in a chair.

POST CONCUSSION TREATMENT

When individuals experience a concussion, they often experience an increase in sensory sensitivities to light, movement, sounds and other types of stimulation and they find it challenging to participate in their day-to-day activities. An important part of the recovery process is looking at the individual’s day to day routines and activities they need to participate in. Often, it is very beneficial to the person to engage in more focused planning to break down tasks into parts and space activities out in order to provide needed break times.

TRAUMA BASED APPROACHES

Sometimes when we have chronic stress, experienced a traumatic event or an injury, our body responds by shifting into a protective mode of functioning. We can experience all sorts of different symptoms that are related to the stress response in the body such as anxiety, fear, shallow or rapid breathing, tightness in our muscles/chest, memory problems, sleep and fatigue problems, etc. The sympathetic part of our nervous system is overly active. If this happens, we need to consider approaches considering the effects of trauma on the brain, body and whole nervous system.

SAFE AND SOUND PROTOCOL (SSP)

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a special music-based program which helps shift your nervous system into the Social engagement system. It assists your nervous system to “learn” how to calm down at a physiological level. This is rewiring the brain and nervous system at the brain level and can be really powerful to shift things in the nervous system.

ACCESS BARS TREATMENT

The Access Bars include a set of 32 points on the head which, when lightly touched, stimulate positive change in the brain and defragment the electro-magnetic components of stress, thought and emotions. This gentle, non-invasive technique works on releasing both physical and mental blocks stored in the body and helps facilitate greater ease in all different areas of life.

ENERGY TREATMENT

Our bodies are made up of energy and we have a bio-magnetic field surrounding us as well as various energy components which act as energy pathways such as meridians and key energy points such as acupoints.

• Chakras

Chakras are considered to be organizing centres for the reception, assimilation, and transmission of life energies. There are 7 commonly known Chakras in the human body, which act as core centers and form the coordinating network in our mind/body system. The Chakras are invisible energy centres located in certain parts of the body and they should spin in a clockwise direction. The Chakras can be opened or closed, over or under active. There are various techniques that can be used to affect the body’s energy system in a positive way to help balance energy.

• Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes the body’s ability to heal. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Heidi became a Reiki Master in 2018.

• Therapeutic Touch

Therapeutic Touch is a holistic, evidence-based therapy that incorporates the intentional and compassionate use of universal energy to promote balance and well-being. It is a consciously-directed process during which the practitioner uses the hands as a focus to facilitate the healing process. The intent is to re-pattern the client’s energy field toward balance, alignment and health thereby enhancing the body’s own ability to heal. Therapeutic Touch was first brought to our attention in 1972 as a modern healing method, by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, and her colleague, Dora Kunz.

REFLEX INTEGRATION

Primitive reflexes are “reflexive actions” that arise from the Central Nervous System (CNS) in response to a stimulus, in normally developing infants. The infants engage in a variety of instinctual rhythmical baby movements to stimulate his or her brain to integrate the primitive reflexes (see video below). There are certain developmental sequences in which this integrating of reflexes occurs, and this is considered a maturing process.
