Gentle Reset Therapy
The foundation of the treatment we use in our Gentle Reset Therapy (GRT) is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), a gentle, non-invasive therapy that infuses low-level resonance frequencies into the body in support of the natural healing process at a both a cellular and bio-electrical level.
When we applying targeted frequencies to specific areas of the body, we are able to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, calm the nervous system, and help the body
regain energy and momentum.
How do the frequencies work?
Every cell and tissue in the body operates at a specific frequency. When injury or stress disrupts these frequencies, healing can stall. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy allows us to deliver precise, ultra-low electrical currents—gentle and often imperceptible—to interact with the body’s natural signals and processes in a harmonious way.
​
Beyond Symptom Management
We are going for more than pain relief; we use frequencies as catalyst to stimulate the life force that governs functional restoration. When paired with supportive practices like nutrition, lifestyle changes, or manual therapy, treatments have been shown to improve energy flow and function.
Supporting the Body’s Natural Intelligence
Injury, illness, or chronic stress can disrupt the body’s cellular frequencies, impairing recovery. Restoring these signals, stimulating mitochondrial function (cellular energy production) and helping the body return to its optimal, self-regulating state is a side effect influence of these gentle, and individualised sessions.

The Science Behind FSM Frequency Medicine
Research has demonstrated that specific frequencies delivered through FSM may:
• Boost ATP (cellular energy) production by up to 500%
FSM supports the body’s production of ATP—your cells’ primary energy source. Studies suggest FSM can significantly enhance ATP levels, helping accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery from injury or illness.
​
• Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage by resolving fibrosis and adhesions
By stimulating targeted tissues, FSM improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage. This delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells more efficiently while clearing toxins and waste, supporting faster recovery and reducing swelling.
​
• Reduce LOX inflammation and pain chemicals by 62%
In one study a specific FSM frequency combination was shown to reduce lipoxygenas (LOX) mediated inflammation by 62% in just 4 minutes.
LOX is a type of long-term inflammation that is often linked to ongoing pain, sensitivity, and chronic immune irritation. It is commonly involved in issues like asthma and allergies, gut irritation, chronic pain conditions (such as fibromyalgia, endometriosis, migraines, lingering concussion symptoms), and stubborn inflammation that doesn’t respond well to typical anti-inflammatory treatments. This kind of inflammation is strongly affected by stress, hormones, and low energy or oxygen levels in the body, which is why it often shows up in people with complex or long-standing health concerns.
​
• Calm chronic inflammation associated with chronic illness
Helps lower inflammatory chemicals like cytokines and substance P, which are often elevated in chronic conditions. This calms overactive pain responses, reducing swelling, discomfort, and stiffness.
This type of inflammatory activity is commonly seen in conditions where pain and sensitivity persist over time. Examples include fibromyalgia, chronic back or neck pain, nerve pain, migraines, arthritis, endometriosis, inflammatory gut conditions, post-concussion symptoms, and pain linked to long-term stress or trauma. In these situations, the nervous and immune systems can become overactive, amplifying pain signals and slowing recovery.
By calming these inflammatory drivers, the body is better able to ease pain, improve movement, and gradually return to a more settled, functional state.
​
• Balances nervous system function and stress response:
FSM promotes balance in the autonomic nervous system, helping regulate the body’s stress response. This can ease symptoms tied to chronic stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and nervous system imbalances.
How do the Frequencies work?
What to Expect During a Session
Your first FSM session begins with a comprehensive consultation. Monica takes a detailed health history to understand the root causes behind your symptoms. This one-on-one assessment helps her identify patterns, contributing factors, and areas of priority for your care.
​
From there, sessions are tailored to your needs using a dual-channel FSM device that delivers specific frequencies through soft, warm towels placed over areas like the neck, back, or abdomen.
-
The current is sub-sensory, meaning you won’t feel it —the frequency is working at a cellular level.
-
Sessions are 120 minutes long, to allow the body adequate exposure the restorative frequencies
-
A course of treatment may be recommended in a series of 4-8 sessions, depending on the case history
-
Many clients describe these sessions as deeply calming and restorative, with benefits that extend beyond the session itself. Some benefits are immediate, with an unfolding of improvements over the 3-6 months following a treatment series.
-
Improvements in nutrition, lifestyle, and self care practices are important to support the ongoing benefits of the therapy.
-
During your session, Monica may recommend herbs, foods, exercises, or remedies to support the body's needs through the healing process.
The Origins of FSM
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerged from the intersection of traditional electrotherapy and a rediscovery of vibrational medicine (using frequencies to promote healing). Its roots trace back to the early 20th century, when physicians explored low-level electrical currents paired with specific frequencies to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Much of this pioneering work faded as pharmaceutical interventions became the norm.
​
In the 1990s, chiropractor Dr. Carolyn McMakin revived this forgotten knowledge after discovering a list of frequencies originally used by an osteopathic physician in the 1920s. Using a dual-channel microcurrent device, she began experimenting and saw remarkable results—such as a patient with chronic fibromyalgia experiencing near-immediate pain relief. What started as a treatment for myofascial pain and fibromyalgia soon expanded to address a wide range of conditions, including nerve injuries, inflammation, and scar tissue.
Today, FSM is embraced by practitioners worldwide, offering a non-invasive path to healing.
​
All practitioners who add FSM to their skillset will use it in alignment with their registered core practice. Monica uses this resource in alongside her Naturopathic, remedial, bio-energetic medicine training and clinical experience accumulated since beginning clinical work in 1991.
The Resonance Effect:
Dr. McMakin’s Book
In her book, The Resonance Effect: How Frequency Specific Microcurrent Is Changing Medicine (published 2017), Dr. McMakin shares the compelling story of FSM’s development. She weaves together the history of frequency medicine, the science behind FSM, and real-life case studies of remarkable healing.
The book explains how resonance between frequencies and tissues can shift physiology in profound ways, and why microcurrent is critical for stimulating the body’s repair mechanisms.
The Resonance Effect is essential reading for practitioners and patients alike, demystifying FSM in an accessible way while offering a hopeful vision for the future of energy medicine.
