​

After -Treatment Care

​

I recommend to drink plenty of water (ideally warm or at room temperature with a splash of lemon) or herbal tea. This will allow for proper elimination of toxins. Rest and take it easy for the rest of the day if you need to. You might even want to have a nap, or you might feel very energetic. I encourage you to listen in with yourself and respond to what you need. Even though the session is over, the body-mind needs time to adjust to the energetic changes that have been facilitated. 

​
