Reconnective Healing® - 30 mins
$55
What is Reconnective Healing?
Reconnective Healing® is a form of hands-free healing discovered by Dr Eric Pearl that allows reconnection and healing of a person at every level of being. It is often a life-changing experience that utilizes new frequencies for the healing of the mind, body and spirit. These energies are initiated by the Reconnective Healing practitioner at the beginning of the session and will continue working long after the session has ended.
How Does Reconnective Healing Work?
Reconnective Healing® (RH) uses the frequencies of energy, light and information to facilitate healing and restore the body to a state of balance. The practitioner acts as a catalyst for change, guiding the client in their discovery of the RH frequencies to address the disharmonies in their system and evolve into a higher state of being. When these healing frequencies are introduced into the body's energy field, the tissue within the body restructures and the healing process happens almost instantaneously.
It is believed that everybody's meridian lines, also known as acupuncture lines, were once connected to the grid lines of the universe. Unfortunately, we lost this connection over time. If the client wants to restore their connection with the universe, Personal Reconnection is recommended. It uses the RH frequencies to reconnect their meridian lines to the gridwork encircling the planet. This reconnection process will help the client bring in and activate new axiatonal lines that will allow for the exchange of light and information, the reconnection of DNA strands and the realisation of one's true purpose and direction in life.
What are the Benefits of Reconnective Healing?
Reconnective Healing® offers a wide array of benefits, from creating an integrated life to effectively addressing all sorts of chronic conditions affecting the mind, body and spirit. RH restores balance, harmony and wholeness in your life as it works holistically to connect you with your higher self. This process not only allows you to find your true purpose but also supports the healing of a plethora of conditions, including:
Chronic pain
Depression
Stress
Anxiety
Addictions
Cancer and malignant tumours
Chronic fatigue
Sports-related injuries
Developmental birth defects
Cerebral palsy
Epilepsy
Multiple sclerosis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Trauma
Recovery after surgery
What Can You Expect from Reconnective Healing?
A session of Reconnective Healing® approximately lasts 30 minutes with a debrief afterwards. You relax on a massage table and will be asked to simply let go and become the observer. The Higher Intelligence of the Universe guides this energetic process. Many report feeling very peaceful and relaxed. The healing is usually permanent.
Sessions are facilitated hands-off on the patient fully clothed. The patient should wear comfortable clothing as well as avoid wearing perfume or any scents during the session. Each person who has undergone a Reconnective Healing session has a unique experience, but some people have been reported seeing certain images like colours, light, feeling vibrations, sensing flavours and scents, and hearing sounds.
It may take some people a few hours to a couple of days to see the positive effects of the therapy, while others may require three sessions. Because it's a non-contact therapy, Reconnective Healing® can be delivered online apart from the traditional face-to-face setting. Note that once the RH frequencies have been transferred to you by your practitioner in the initial session, they don't have to be reintroduced; it will work ceaselessly on your healings and help you achieve lasting change.
Is Reconnective Healing Safe?
RH is a safe, non-invasive and non-contact modality that can help everyone achieve a higher state of being and resolve any problem affecting their physical, mental or emotional health. It does not involve any medications, so there is no way that it could result in negative drug interactions.
"Reconnective Healing Practitioners can produce a wave, or more specifically a bandwidth of frequency waves that literally affect the DNA of living things in a powerful and healing fashion." - Dr. Eric Pearl, "Science Confirms Reconnective
"In practical terms, Reconnective Healers work with their hands to sense and manipulate the electromagnetic energy fields of the people being healed." - Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, PhD, "Science Confirms Reconnective Healing."
Dry Needling - 1 Hour
$110.00
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a treatment technique whereby a sterile, single-use, fine filament needle (acupuncture needle) is used to penetrate the skin, fascia, and muscles to address adhesions, trigger points, and connective tissue.
The needles don’t inject fluid into the body and can vary in length and thickness. That’s why the term “dry” is used.
Dry Needling is rarely a stand-alone treatment, other techniques are usually performed during your session to obtain optimal results. The needles are left in place for about 10 minutes to allow the release of neurotransmitters that inhibit pain signals and once removed, massage techniques will be used.
Every person can respond differently, with some showing signs of release quicker than others and generally will determine the length of time the needles are left in for.
What is a Myofascial Trigger Point?
Also known as a knot in the muscle, is a group of muscle fibres which have shortened when activated but have not been able to lengthen back to a relaxed state after use. A myofascial trigger point develops a sensitive nodule in the muscle. This hypersensitivity occurs as the muscle fibres become so tight that they compress the capillaries and nerves that supply them. As a result, the muscle is unable to move frequently, obtain a fresh blood supply containing oxygen and nutrients, or flush out additional acidic chemicals. In addition to this nodule, the remainder of the muscle also tightens to compensate. The presence of a myofascial trigger point in a muscle can lead to discomfort with touch, movement and stretching; to decreased joint motion; and even a temporary loss of coordination
What is a Twitch Response?
The twitch response is a localized, reflexive response of a dysfunctional area of muscle to palpation, or in our case, a dry needle. When needling a trigger point, this is one of our goals as it leads to a rapid release of a taut muscle band, decreasing tightness and sensitivity of the surrounding area.
A tight muscle or one with a trigger point will feel an achy discomfort with an occasional twitching or cramping sensation. This twitch response returns the muscle to a normal state by releasing inflammatory chemicals from the trigger point and restoring blood flow to the area.
The twitch may be a sign that the treatment will be successful. A local twitch response is a spinal cord reflex that creates an involuntary contraction that can be triggered by a snapping palpitation or penetration with a needle. When the patient has an involuntary twitch response, that suggests that the needle has hit the right spot.
What Causes a Myofascial Trigger Point?
A myofascial trigger point develops as part of the body’s protective response following:
injury – the muscle will tighten in an attempt to reduce the severity of an injury
quick or unexpected movements
change in regular activity or muscle loading
sustained postures, e.g., prolonged sitting for work or study
nerve impingement – the muscle will tighten to protect the nerve
stress
illness (bacterial or viral)
nutritional deficiencies or metabolic and endocrine conditions.
Difference between Dry Needling and Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient traditional Chinese technique that utilizes the knowledge of meridians. This focus allows an acupuncturist to work on a person's inner balance, energy, qi, and one's life-force. Work up and exam includes physical, tongue, and pulse examination. Traditional acupuncture has been widely studied and practiced for thousands of years.
Dry needling relies on the practitioner’s expanded knowledge of skeletal and neuroanatomy. This knowledge allows one to identify damaged and sensitive tissues, taut bands, and trigger points as well as injured and overused tissues.
Common Conditions treated with Dry Needling are:
Tennis & Thrower's Elbow
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hip Pain
IT Band Syndrome
Achilles Tendinopathy
Plantar Fasciitis
Ankle Sprains
Muscle Strains
Headaches & TMJ (Jaw Pain)
Neck Pain
Low Back Pain
Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis)
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee)
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)
Shoulder Dysfunction (Adhesive capsulitis, impingement, rotator cuff strain)
Is Dry Needling Therapy Painful?
When the practitioner uses a dry needle to penetrate skin, fascia and muscles to address adhesions, trigger points and connective tissue. Often, patients will experience a mild, dull ache during treatment and up to 24 hours post treatment. Some discomfort is experienced during the rapid ‘twitch response’ but this discomfort is minimal and last only a few seconds. It is normal to have mild to moderate muscle soreness after dry needling treatment. Drinking lots of water, stretching, moving your body and heating the sore muscles can reduce the duration of the soreness. Side effects include mild muscle soreness and bruising in some patients.
What Does Dry Needling Do?
When the delicate dry needle inserts into the centre of a myofascial trigger point, blood pools around the needle triggering the contracted muscle fibres to relax. It also helps to provide those fibres with fresh oxygen and nutrients, as well as by flushing away any additional acidic chemicals. This reaction, in turn, leads to the decompression of the local blood and nerve supply.
What are the benefits of Dry Needling?
Increase circulation to the area
Accelerate tissue healing process
Decrease pain stimulating release of endorphins and serotonin
Improve motion range and flexibility
Decreasing muscle hypertonicity
Correcting movement dysfunction
What are the contraindications
Needle phobia
No consent to insert needles
Thrombocytopenia (bruising easily)
Infectious disease
Dry Needling seeks to relieve the pain caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction through relaxing muscle trigger points. Dry needling is very effective for addressing cases of both acute and chronic pain. Stresses such as poor posture or repetitive actions can cause pain or hinder mobility. Dry needling is suitable for treating a number of musculoskeletal dysfunctions such as back and neck pain, hamstring problems, headaches, muscular tightness and sporting injuries.
The length of time the needles are left in can contributes to the result.

Abdominal massages are good for you but there are reasons when they need to be delayed if any of these situations occur -
ü You’ve had abdominal surgery recently. Wait for some time (approximately 6 to 8 weeks) to ensure the incision has healed completely before receiving a deep tissue massage. You may want to Consult your doctor before any massage.
ü You have any health concerns, or if you’re pregnant. Having an abdominal massage within your first trimester increases the risk of a miscarriage. Some experts also fear that the high rate of blood flow during the massage may be harmful.
ü You’ve eaten spicy or heavy foods. If you really must eat something, make it light. Ensure you have something in your stomach to help stimulate your digestive system. Having a massage on an empty stomach might lead to excess hunger by the end of the session.
ü Have a Stomach Hernia’s
Ensure to consult your doctor prior to any treatment in case of any serious condition or if your abdominal symptoms become severe.
