What to expect

Session #1

New clients simply call Evexia Salt Cave to schedule your 1st session

(1-1.25 hours including discussion & intake)

We begin with a brief intro & intake, which is important for old, irrelevant build-up to be swept up & taken out during the session. As we get into the session, the techniques start light and build upon one another as we move through the process. As this happens, your body tissue becomes more supple and the “low-hanging fruit” is able to simply fall off. I call this a good “first opening,” a re-alignment of the client’s physical body to the emotional body. Typical effects range between extreme relaxation & being ready to take on the world. Most experience feeling lighter, and have an amazing night’s sleep. You will continue to be “in-process” for the next several days. Be gentle with yourself & enjoy the fresh start! Since you’re already going to be at the Salt Cave, I highly recommend catching the next Salt Cave infrared sauna afterward. They give me a coupon for $5 off - so please ask for that if you take advantage of the cave, and be sure to drink up a ton of water to help it all out!

“A Month of Healing”

“Gently coercing the body back into alignment”

Session #1 combined with sessions 2, 3, & 4: (1-1.5 hours each)

Big changes call for drastic measures, but you will be amazed if you invest in yourself. I may start you on the Chi Machine, a vibration plate, or use the vibration gun to loosen large areas more quickly, and your body will begin to “drop in” to the session more quickly and easily.

You may find yourself here to solidify those life-changes and ease the physical ailments that may have been plaguing you. Scheduled 7-10 days apart, I flow between the lighter, tapping movements, into the specific nooks and crannies of Craniosacral Unwinding, where we unwind the body’s old traumas (think old bike accidents, car wrecks, falling out of the tree when you’re 9, etc.).

By session 3 we will get into some heavy-handed, extremely relaxing Thai movements that essentially squeeze the tension out of your body. Reflexology and acupressure are always sprinkled in as I bounce around you. You can request specific modalities or techniques such as more Thai work, Thai Foot, Sound Healing or Tuning Forks, Head Massage, etc.

This is a great place to spring-board from and dive into your life’s short and mid-term goals, or where you’re beginning new habits or lifestyle changes. This is the fresh start we all need from time to time to slough off, regroup & then begin again, lest we have a mid-life crisis instead. The sessions are so close together so we can remain ahead of your healing as we move deeper and deeper into the muscle tissue and tease it from adhesion to adhesion.

If you enjoy what’s happening, create your goals and we will create a maintenance plan that works for you. Sometimes people want to push through more barriers, while others enjoy the occasional session as a maintenance program, but the tools and lessons will stay with you for a lifetime.

“Lymphedema Relief”

*Typical observations include a reduction in problematic edema while regaining feeling & function beginning in the first 3 sessions. Sessions 3 & 4 are pivotal, and one client’s water pill was halved and he’s now back down 3 shoe sizes to normal & reversed the yellowing in his toenails. We assume it to be because of the increased blood flow.

Clients with lymphedema specifically, need to start with the Month of Healing and then we observe and wean from there. Typically, we go to every other week for a couple months then hover at 3 as a maintenance program if there is no at-home therapy in addition to that I provide.

I tend to spend the majority of at least one or two full sessions performing Thai Foot Massage with the dowel rod during the first month. Once the swelling and inflammation decreases, we begin cupping on the arches to encouragement blood flow back, which also reflexes back to the internal organs, resupplying the areas with fresh, nourishing blood. An unexpected observation at about 8 months was the reversal of one client’s thick, yellow toenails, growing back a healthier, white color. Our hypothesis is that it happened due to the increased blood flow to the extremities of the toes as he had changed nothing else.

As feeling regains, it may be interpreted as a little bit painful or pins and needles. This is normal and will dissipate as the normalcy of feeling regains.

Clients are encouraged to involve a partner or loved one for quicker results because some moves can be done at home or with enough frequency, that allows us to get more out of each face-to-face visit and to create a seamless transition into an "as needed" maintenance program.

Success to me, is transitioning clients back into wellness and function.
