Your HTMA Session includes a Home Testing Kit shipped to your door. This includes the kit & instructions for taking the sample.. You will need someone to help you take the sample!

From the time of your order, your test kit will take approximately 1-2 weeks to arrive depending on location.

There is a specific protocol for preparing the hair for the sample to ensure the test is accurate and not skewed in its results.

A teaspoon amount of virgin hair ( the top inch from the root) is taken in small amounts from around the back of the head. This is mailed to Trace Elements Lab to be processed and results are sent to me as your Practitioner within about 2 weeks from the sample being sent in

Some Important things to consider:

- Hair is best UNDYED if possible, but if this is not possible for you, waiting 3-4 weeks after coloring is best for a most accurate result.

- You will want to ensure you follow the instructions for taking the sample and prep accurately to ensure we don't get a skewed result.

- If someone in your family does not have hair on the head, Pubic Hair, Beard Hair or Nail Clippings can be used. Scalp is the preferable spot however.

I pull from a spectrum of trainings and unique perspective in my work with HTMA.

I first and foremost abide by the following values when attended my clients:

"I do not give strong medicine, when gentle medicine will do.

I do not give gentle medicine when movement is needed.

I do not give movement medicine when rest is required."

My protocols for clients are bio-individual to their bodies, lives and families. However some Common threads are woven here in the making of my protocols:

Supplementation

I am very picky about Supplementation and do not feel supplements are always the best option. If I recommend a supplement, know that I have personally vetted the company and give it my full faith. I carefully choose the companies I work with to ensure not only quality in their sourcing, but bio-availability and purity of source. The companies I may suggest for you, I myself take supplements from or have taken in past with positive results.

Lifestyle Shifts

I am a firm believer that what you are unwilling to shift in your life will affect your body's internal landscape. Lifestyle shifts such as reducing stress, working with the whole family, altering environments, creating harmonious and nurturing rhythms, sleep hygiene, circadian biology care and relationship to the living world are often " supplements" I recommend in Mineral Balancing. These things more often than not are the source of stress in the body, many times we start here before we ever supplement to see what can be shifting in your life to support your body better.

Self-Attunement

A huge part of this work is your willingness to slow down and listen to the ways you have been overriding and neglecting your body. Self-Attunement is the process of being with yourself In a loving, present way.

Learning to be with the parts of you that are pushing past your capacity, under-feeding yourself, over-riding, abandoning, people pleasing... the parts that are so starved for your attention and love.. is a very important part of this work. If you are unwilling to do this, then we are not a good fit for each other.

Nutrition + Nourishment

You are what you eat. Or the age old saying says... But the way you feed yourself matters just as much as the food on your plate. Ensuring you are eating enough and regularly, creating consistency in your body, and making a plan for your unique nourishment needs is another element to your work with me. We will explore what Nourishment looks like for you in all the different forms it appears in our life. We will also talk about the foods you might want to consider introducing for optimal health . Again, this is bio-individual work, unique to each person.

A very important note:

I am not a good fit for clients who are Vegan or strictly Vegetarian and unwilling to make shifts based on their mineral and hormonal needs. This unfortunately is a non-negotiable for me as a practitioner due to the biological needs of the female body for nourishment and animal products.

This is a nuanced question that is often bio-individual to the person, but the short answer is:

The Results you see are entirely up to you.

It is not uncommon for women in deep states of depletion to need 1-2 years of mineral balancing & nervous system care to start seeing sustainable shifts.

Clients who are CONSISTENT with their protocol, nourishment needs, self-attunement + devotion sometimes see shifts right away, others over weeks, some in just a few months. Sometimes it takes people years to recover from a lifetime of self-abandonment. The timeline of your healing is often non-linear and spiralic. We will retrace places we have been before we start to feel better. This is a common and highly intelligent response to the rise in metabolic energy in the body:

To finally allow completion of old cycles + healing integration of old wounds. If you can stay WITH yourself and the process, the results will be so healing, sustainable and regenerative.

This is POWERFUL, slow-drip work with the body to create safety, consistency and relationship.

Re-tests are recommended to assess how your protocol is working and to address deeper layers as they arise during the mineral balancing journey.

Re-tests are best done every 3-4 months if there are chronic issues you are struggling with and especially helpful to assess heavy metal detox and adrenal strength.
