For cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment, 50% of the fee will be charged. No-shows without cancellation will be charged in full.

Question 7

How many sessions will I need to be pain-free?

zentherapy · Accepted Answer

This process is very unique to the individual and can’t be planned. We work on finding the source of the pain, building awareness and recognition, and accepting change. There’s no time-table for this process.

Individual sessions can be dedicated to specific areas of discomfort.

The 10 Zen Bodytherapy® sessions are recommended to work on and align the entire structure of the body.

Question 8

Is this work painful?

zentherapy · Accepted Answer

Working on misaligned tissue can be perceived as painful. Experiences that are the root cause of the pain are often relived and processed.

We’ll be in constant communication throughout the process and can always adjust to your unique pain threshold.

Question 9

I’m not in pain but would still like to work on my posture and body awareness.

zentherapy · Accepted Answer

Awesome. You’re more than welcome here. We’ll likely find areas that would like some attention.

Question 10

What should I do after the sessions?

zentherapy · Accepted Answer

It’s important to stay hydrated after these sessions. The body needs fluids to flush out newly released toxins.

It’s also wise to train in body awareness. It is less about judging and correcting as it is about developing consciousness for what is going on.

Question 11

Do you work on children?

zentherapy · Accepted Answer

Yes, if they participate voluntarily.

Question 12

I’m pregnant. Is this type of work for me?

zentherapy · Accepted Answer

Yes. Our work will be less intense, and we will avoid certain areas.
