The sessions can certainly stand alone and the client will receive benefits. The 10-series process, however, is most effective if the sessions are completed 1-2 weeks apart in order to create a sense of continuity and progression.

Most definitely! This work is great for children of all ages and can help with postural concerns, sensory and motor skills, self-awareness and confidence.

I encourage people to take a short break after the series in order to integrate and flow in the rhythms of life. Periodic “tune ups” can be very helpful, and if people have chronic issues, continued regular work can be beneficial in maintaining balance and function.

Scarwork is most effective 4-6 weeks after surgery when the wounds have closed completely.
