FAQ
What is holistic health?
Holistic health is an approach to wellness that considers the whole person – body and mind – in the pursuit of optimal health and balance.
What can I expect during a reflexology session?
During a reflexology session, you can expect to lie comfortably on a massage table while I apply gentle pressure to specific points on your feet, hands, or ears to stimulate organs and systems in your body.
How can trauma counselling help me?
Trauma counselling can help you process and cope with traumatic experiences, reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and promoting emotional healing and recovery.
Are natural supplements safe?
Natural supplements can be safe when used properly and under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. However, it’s essential to consult with me before taking any supplements to ensure they won’t interact with any medications or exacerbate underlying health conditions.
How long does a typical session last?
A typical session at Equilibrium Health can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the service and your individual needs.
