✨Abdominal cold wash✨

When we are stressed or worried, blood is shifted from our internal organs & pumped towards our brain & muscles so that we can fight or run away from danger. This is a functional adaptation to a brief, threatening situation. However, if the stressful situation keeps occurring or if we conceive many situations as threatening, the blood supply to our internal organs can stay shut down. This may lead to abdominal tension, consitaption & impaired organ function.

The abdominal cold wash is a powerful way to flush circulation deep into the abdomen & pelvis. Because of how our nervous system is organized, this has a deeply relaxing effect. Our breathing rate slows & deepens & anxious thoughts tend to quiet.

This method is very helpful for constipation, abdominal discomfort, menstrual discomfort & nervous system regulation.

Give it a try & see how you feel!

(Description from the Client Self Care Manual by Doug Alexander)

The majority of the signals travelling through your nervous system are actually moving from your body up to your brain, not the other way around. All that information is used to answer one primary question: Am I safe right now?

With colder weather comes a new arrival procedure for your appointments. This is the new sign that will be posted at my front door when you first arrive.

I have a quick 15 minute turn-over between clients to make sure I can see as many of you as possible each week. This 15 minutes includes the time it takes for a client to get off the table, pay / book their next appointment & for me to disinfect the room & reset the table.

There is a QR code on the front door for self-check-in to let me know that you are here. I’ll soon have little QR code cards that you’ll be able to take with you & leave in your car to make future check-ins quick & easy. Self check-in is not mandatory so if you’re having trouble with it, don’t worry about it. The door will be opened at your appointment time no matter what!

That being said, to avoid having to wait outside in the cold, especially as we approach winter, please wait in your car until the time of your appointment. I cannot guarantee I’ll be able to come to the door any earlier.

Thank you so much for your constant support, let’s stay warm this winter!🫶🏽
