BioMat® sessions are deeply restful for most. Treatments take place in a setting similar to what one might expect for a massage and clients remain clothed. The full length BioMat® is placed on a massage table and covered with a cotton pad and a sheet. Clients lie on the BioMat® and it is turned on. The BioMat® range of settings arc from no or little heat (Negative Ion Therapy) to high heat for thermal therapy (Infrared Ray Therapy and Negative Ion Therapy). Clients select the setting they prefer.

The BioMat® is an FDA approved medical device which converts electricity into deeply penetrating far infrared rays (FIR) (nature’s invisible light) and is said to produce cellularly activating and renewing negative ions (found abundantly in nature). Studies suggest that beneficial exposure to FIR reduces swelling, increases blood flow, stimulates the production of healthy cell tissue, encourages the elimination of cellular waste and toxins, promotes faster healing and has been shown to destroy cancer and viral cells without harming surrounding healthy cells. It penetrates 6-8 inches into the innermost recesses of the body, stimulating healing and regeneration of nerves and muscle tissue layers. Negative Ions are negatively charged molecules or atoms and are found in highest concentration around waterfalls and pounding surf. Negative Ions have been studied for their beneficial effects on human health and wellbeing. Research by Dr. Takada Maku of Japan shows that with the introduction of negative ions to the human body there is increased calcium and sodium in the blood and blood purification is promoted through increased alkalinity. Exposure to negative ions has been found to revitalize cell metabolism, enhance immune function, purify the blood, balance the autonomic nervous system, promote a feeling of wellbeing and more. Unlike heating pads and blankets, the BioMat® functions without the production of harmful electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs). BioMat® is a stand alone therapy that can also be combined with other energy therapies like Intuitive Healing, Healing Touch and Reiki, and standard allopathic medicine.

THE EXPERIENCE

• A treatment space similar to a massage therapy setting

• Emphasis on client choice, direction, autonomy, engagement, participation, consent, sovereignty, and safety

• A brief intake conversation focusing on your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual states, health, and wellbeing

• Discussion of client and practitioner boundaries and safer-space practices. Consent for touch is obtained. No touch is required and touch is at the discretion of the client.

• All participants remain fully clothed

• Full client agency over BioMat® settings including heat intensity.

• Encouragement to ask questions, change, or stop the session at any time

• Restful time alone. Practitioner typically leaves the treatment room after settling you into your session.

• The possibility of experiencing relief from pain, gentle or deeply penetrating heat, deep relaxation and sense of bliss or euphoria

• Closing conversation addressing any questions you may have, insights, or experiences you had during treatment

• Collaborative self-care planning for continued support post-session

NOTE: Athena, our family’s cat, has access to the treatment space and absolutely adores spending time on the BioMat®. She will most likely join you in your session. Please plan accordingly.

BioMat® sessions are available in-person only. Session durations include intake and closing conversations. If you require a full 60 minutes on the BioMat®, request a 90 minute session. Contact Natalia to discuss options for sessions longer than 90 minutes.
