Recently, I was asked what I knew about Rife machines and whether they could help with concerns such as menopause, perimenopause, PANS, Lyme, IBS, allergies, etc. That question reminded me that, although I share about wellness often, at least weekly, I may not clearly explain what I actually do in my practice. So, I thought I’d take a little time to explain. Feel free to scroll if this doesn’t interest you. People come to me with different concerns: menopause and perimenopause, digestive difficulties such as IBS, fatigue, stress, menstrual concerns, or questions about supporting their overall wellness while managing conditions such as high or low blood pressure. Others are navigating more complex concerns, including PANS, Lyme, etc., with their medical providers but would like some holistic support. My role is to offer individualized wellness education and support while looking at the whole person: spirit, soul, and body. The first appointment includes a conversation and a Qest4 bioenergetic assessment scan. I actually run four scans during this appointment, and these scans show the energetic markers in several different areas. These reports include what Qest4 calls “energetic markers” across several categories. Examples from scans I’ve reviewed include digestion, liver and gallbladder support, lymphatic function, hydration, carbohydrate and sugar metabolism, and hormone-related entries such as progesterone. There can also be entries related to nutrients, including vitamin B6, folate, minerals, and amino acids. These are energetic scan entries, not measurements of hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, or organ function. The reports can also include emotional themes such as fear, worry, grief, frustration, or difficulty adapting to change. We review these together and discuss whether any of those themes connect with what you’re experiencing. An entry doesn’t tell me what you feel or establish the cause of a symptom; it gives us something to explore in our conversation as we consider your physical and emotional well-being together.
