If you are here it means you have become or are considering becoming a patient with us. Welcome to Enjoy Vibrant Living! You are about to embark on a great journey. It is a journey where you will be actively changing your life for the better with our guidance. The suggestions we offer and the treatments we give will act as a catalyst for you to learn:
- How strong and capable you are as a human being.
- How your health and your overall perspective of life is in your hands.
- How the process of resolving your health problems can be one of the greatest life lessons available.
We are here as your support through the healing process. This means even though you are coming once a week, once a month, or even once a season, we are here to partner with you on your road to greater health always. This means you do not need to wait to call us if you get an unexpected migraine but aren’t scheduled for 3 weeks. This means if your child or life partner becomes ill and they are not a patient, call us anyway. We are here for you and your questions as they come up, so please know you can rely on us.
What is the basic rhythm of treatment?
The answer to this varies depending on each individual, but here are a few general considerations:
Phase One: Most patients begin with weekly sessions for the first few months. Again, this varies per person and there are no set rules, but this is generally what most people need. The reason for this is that no matter what the cause of our pain and illness, our body often needs regular reminders of what health looks like. Through weekly treatments, we begin to remind your body and mind what balance feels like and how to become more stable. Think of a child who naturally repeats something over and over again to learn. We have to re-teach our body and mind what balance looks like. When we become more balanced within, it becomes easier to make the necessary changes in our life. Many positive changes will happen in this first phase. Your whole life will begin to change and you will start to feel your strength come back and your health concerns diminish.
Phase Two: At some point in time, depending on the nature of what you are coming in for, we move from one session per week to every other week sessions. This means, your body and mind are now feeling stronger and it maintains that strength for at least two weeks rather than one. At this point you will have had some experience of improvement and we can go deeper with treatment. This means many unneeded physical and mental/emotional blockages can be released affording you with more of your own vitality and empowerment.
Phase Three: At this point you will be ready to come one time per month. Of course, this is determined by you. Some people find so much benefit from stage two, they decide to stay there far beyond the resolution of the complaints they came in for. In our busy and sometimes hectic lives, regular sessions can be a great way to keep on track and extract the most out of life. Others find that at some point all they really need is to come in once a month. By now your main complaint is much if not totally better and your overall capacity to maintain vitality and mental/emotional equilibrium is stronger. This phase offers a healthy reminder about how we can best face our life, as well as helps maintain the work we have accomplished in the first two phases. Phase three is also good for those of us who, rather than focus on getting rid of symptoms, would like to focus on maintaining health. Preventative care is of the utmost importance, and ongoing monthly sessions can be a powerful and affordable way to maintain health.
Phase Four: Phase four is when you may decide to come in for seasonal treatments. This means every 2-4 months you will come in for a ‘tune-up’. By now you have had personal experience that your health is in your hands (and mind), and that the way you perceive your life has a great impact on your experience of vibrancy. You have made many necessary changes in your life and are eating better, thinking and feeling with more intentionality, and understand that you have the reins of your own life. It is a time when you can manage your life, your mind, and your health mostly on your own and seasonal tune-ups are all that is needed to keep you and your body healthy. As a reminder, while in phase four you can always call with health questions. Often with patients who even come weekly, we forget how to take care of ourselves when we get sick or something traumatic happens. Remember to call when things come up. It may not mean you even have to come in, but often there are simple things you can do for yourself to assist your body and mind go through these healing processes.
Phase Five: This phase can happen at anytime. After we work together for a while, you will become educated about when you need a treatment and when you can bring yourself back to balance. You will have developed tools to take ownership of your life and you will realize that nothing can get in the way of making the most of your life and the challenges you have to face. At some points in life, after we have come to a place of greater vitality and health, something unexpected happens. Perhaps we get in an automobile accident, or maybe we get a divorce, or maybe some new symptoms arise for the first time and throw us for a loop. No matter what the reason, health does not seem to ever be a static location, but instead a series of movements towards and a way from balance. You probably came in to work with us in the first place when you felt off balance. It is these times of feeling off or when symptoms are coming up that we really learn the most powerful lessons. Phase five is the time when we have already established a powerful healing relationship with a practitioner at Enjoy Vibrant Living, and due to new circumstances we realize we need to come back more intensively for a period of time. Chinese medicine is a medical system which can assist you from the time you were in utero to the moment you leave this world through death. We may come in and out of your life in terms of intensity depending on your need, but we are ALWAYS here for you. Phase five is truly a recognition by you that we are here for you whenever you need us. Be it a short call with a question about a persistent cough, or a need to come in regularly again due to a need for greater consistent support, we are here for you.
