    • Drink plenty of water

      Come well hydrated. Drink extra water the day before and the morning of your session. Hydration helps your body respond better to every modality we offer.

      Eat a light meal or snack

      Have a light meal or snack at least one hour before your session. Avoid heavy meals within two hours of your appointment. Do not come in on an empty stomach.

      Wear comfortable clothing

      Loose, comfortable or athletic clothing works best for all sessions. We will let you know if anything specific is needed when you book.

      Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine

      Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session. Limit caffeine the morning of your appointment. Both can interfere with how your body responds.

    • Keep drinking water

      Continue hydrating after your session. Your body will be actively working — water helps move things along and supports your recovery.

      Rest when you can

      Some people feel energized. Others feel ready for deep rest. Both are completely normal. Give your body space to integrate — avoid strenuous activity for the remainder of the day if possible.

    • Before your session

      • Arrive in athletic or loose, comfortable clothing — the suit goes right on top
      • Drink water beforehand — lymphatic movement works best when you are well hydrated
      • Avoid a heavy meal within two hours of your session
      • Let us know if you are pregnant, have active blood clots, or have recently had surgery

      After your session

      • Drink plenty of water — your lymphatic system has been moving fluid and hydration helps clear what has been released
      • You may feel noticeably lighter or less puffy — the lymphatic system doing its work
      • Use the restroom soon after your session — your body may be ready to release
      • Rest if you feel tired — a short rest after enhances the benefits

    • Please let us know before your session if any of the following apply

    • Before your session

      • Wear loose, comfortable or athletic clothing
      • Drink water and have a light meal beforehand — do not come in on an empty stomach
      • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session
      • You are welcome to bring your phone, tablet, or reading material inside the chamber
      • No headphones or earbuds — the pressure inside the chamber makes them uncomfortable and can cause ear pain
      • Let us know of any ear, sinus, or lung conditions before your session

      After your session

      • Drink plenty of water — your cells have been working
      • You may feel noticeably energized or calm — both are normal responses
      • Eat a nourishing meal within a few hours
      • Mild ear fullness may occur after — this resolves quickly, similar to after flying
      • Rest if your body is asking for it

      Note on ear pressure: As the chamber pressurizes you may feel a slight fullness in your ears — exactly like descending on an airplane. Clear it easily by yawning, swallowing, or gently pinching your nose and blowing gently. Let your session guide know if you feel any discomfort.

    • Please let us know before your session if any of the following apply

      • No downtime required — you can return to your normal activities right away

      If you have a pacemaker or any implanted electrical device, please do not book until you have spoken with us directly. This is the one absolute contraindication for PEMF.
