Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of work do you do?
Through many years of training and working with clients, Kari developed a system of therpeutic release work that is unique in its approach and effectiveness.
You are in control of much of the session as we explore limitations and restrictions that contribute to your lack of movement or flexibilty. It is the goal of the session to help you understand what issues may lie behind the holding pattern. We work with all aspects of your 'self'' to reach a successful improvement.
What happens on my first visit?
Before your visit, you will have received a questionnaire to complete. When you arrive, we will look at your current issues, talk about your history, and about what's going on in your world. Once we have gone over the form and gotten all the details covered we will enter the cottage and begin our work.
Will it hurt to get things straightened out?
Generally not. We work within your body's innate intelligence field to determine where it is willing to go, then once we release that point, we go to the next level and let the body adapt to the new level of movement. I believe that when we respect the body's messages to stop before going any further, a sense of trust is formed and the body's intuition takes over and lets restrictions dissolve, often without any pain whatsoever.
Do I have to get undressed?
Most of the work done in the initial sessions is done with the body fully clothed. There are two reasons I choose to work in this manner. First, allowing touch on the body is oftentimes difficult for individuals who have been in pain, and adding the element of full vulnerablility by having their clothing off causes more tension than relief. Second, the work we do in those initial sessions involves moving the body to achieve positions of release and that is best done without having to wrestle with sheets and blankets to keep everything covered up. Some of my clients have never had a session without beig fully clothed.
Will my insurance cover this type of therapy?
Not generally. Kari has chosen to keep her rates low and make her work accessible to many. Often what you would pay in co-pays and deductibles for several visits to other practitioners with few results ends up more that what you end up paying for one or two visits with really great results!
Kari is also willing to discuss payment arrangements in hardship situations. Please contact Kari if cost is the main issue that keeps you from receiving relief and getting back to your life.
What other services and products do you offer?
Some of the many services available at Mission of the Heart are Relaxation Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Intuitive Clearing and Bodywork, Energy Healing, Ear Coning(Candling), Functional Nutritional Testing and Evaluation, Weight Management Coaching, Facial and Body Toning through the use of microcurrent, and scalp and facial massage (not to be confused with facials).
She also can schedule home visits to determine If there are fundamental issues with your living or working environment that may be affecting your health, as well as assisting you with proper Feng Shui in your home or office.
Kari believes taking care of the whole body from the inside out is tantamount to a successful outcome. While she does not require you to utilize her line of Biotics Research NW supplements or other products, Kari believes in having the best product possible for her clients at all times. As reasearch is released, products are updated and information provided. Please check the BLOG on this site regularly for more information.
