What to expect after your session
• You may feel deeply relaxed, calm or slightly spaced out for a few hours. Your nervous system has shifted, and your body may need time to integrate the change.
• Some people feel an immediate reduction in pain, tension or inflammation. Others notice gradual improvement over the next 24–72 hours as tissues continue to respond.
• You may feel tired and need extra sleep. Healing requires energy, and the body often prioritises repair after treatment.
• Mild symptom fluctuation can occur. Old aches, past injury sites, or previous symptoms may briefly reappear as tissues recalibrate. This is usually temporary.
• Emotional release is common. You might feel teary, reflective, lighter, or unexpectedly sensitive. The nervous system and stored tissue memory are closely linked.
• Temporary detox-type responses may occur as the body clears toxins, infections, or stored metabolic waste. This can include fatigue, brain fog, skin changes, or altered bowel habits for a short period. Increased urination, thirst, mild headache, or slight flu-like feelings can occur as inflammatory by-products are processed. Hydration is important.
• Improved mental clarity, steadier mood, or a sense of “reset” may be noticeable within a day or two.
• If we worked on concussion, trauma, vagus nerve or autonomic regulation, you may notice shifts in sleep, digestion, heart rate variability, or stress tolerance over the following week.
​
Post-Session Recommendations:
• Drink plenty of water for the next 24–48 hours.
• Prioritise rest and avoid overexertion the same day.
• Eat nourishing, protein-rich meals to support tissue repair and detox pathways.
• Gentle movement, sunlight and deep breathing can support lymphatic flow.
• Notice changes without over-analysing them — your body integrates in layers.
• Don't think too much about things, be in flow as much as possible.
• Get outside under the sky as often as possible. Spend time outside on the earth, shoes off.
• Contact your practitioner by email if you experience anything intense, unusual, or concerning.
Healing is not always linear. FSM supports the body’s own repair mechanisms, and responses vary depending on inflammation levels, trauma history, toxicity load, and nervous system resilience. Each session builds on the last.
Tracking your Progress
Most people feel impatient when it comes to healing, so it is easy to miss the subtle signs of improvement. Keeping a journal is a good way to notice things as they improve.
​
Start with a review of your initial symptoms. A rating system is ideal, out of 10 (where 10 is high), or a mild-moderate-severe-unbearable type rating. Include physical, mental and emotional health reviews.
​
Write down what you have done to support yourself each day, and before each sessions, take some time to become introspective and notice what is changing within you.
​
Often healing is simply things feeling more 'normal'. It's easy to overlook these improvements. Notice when you respond differently to life's stressors and take the time to celebrate your wins, even if they are subtle.
​
Starting with some commonly used assessments is a good idea. These are some of the ones we find most useful. These are online resources using an external site, they are not saved or accessible to anyone but you. Be sure to download your results, and if you want to share them with your practitioner, email them before your next session.
​
​Studies demonstrate that people who record their diet and lifestyle do better. And people who journal their healing experience, tend to experience improved results.
​
​
These are ofsite screening questionnaires that can be helpful if you have never done one of these.
​
Be sure to download and save your results as the platform they are on doesn't keep the results.
​
This is the Depression - Anxiety - Stress Score is a word doc questionnaire that we like to do along the way, if these are things you are working with:-
Supporting Healing
with Conscious
Self Care
Healing requires resources. Most of the time the best way forward is to stop doing the things that depelete the body's resources, and start doing the things needed to support it.
Generally this means
-
Optimising sleep
-
Quality Movement
-
Quality Water
-
Quality Food
-
Reducing Stress
-
Replenishing key nutritional elements
-
Getting barefoot in nature regularly
-
Finding quiet within with regular introspection / meditation
General Diet & Lifestyle Guidelines
These suggestions are not individual to you, they are general suggestions to review and pick out the the things suit your needs and your lifestyle.
Overall we want to make healthier choices in support of optimal digestion, assimilation, elimination, regulation, repair and recovery. The optimal approach is not about restriction or perfection, it is about creating the right conditions for your body to heal and feel safe again.
We are working on the foundations first, because when digestion, blood sugar, and circadian rhythm are stable, everything else responds more easily.
EATING TO NOURISH
Your body responds best to simple, clean, whole foods. Vegetables form the base of every meal, with protein used for stability and repair.
​
Foods to Focus On
Choose naturally gluten-free grains and starches in small amounts if needed: Buckwheat, quinoa, basmati rice, black or red rice, rolled oats, polenta, green banana flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and gluten-free pasta occasionally.
-
Include quality protein daily: Organic eggs, organic meats, poultry, and wild or ethically farmed fish.
-
Seafood is especially supportive: Small oily fish such as sardines, mackerel, herring, wild salmon, or Huon Tasmanian farmed salmon. Oysters if you tolerate them.
-
Fermented and gentle dairy (only if tolerated): Plain yogurt, kefir, organic butter, and sheep or goat cheeses. Keep harder cow’s cheeses to a minimum.
-
Vegetables are essential: Aim to include vegetables at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Use a variety of colours and preparation methods including salads, soups, stir-fries, steamed and baked vegetables.
-
Fruits: Enjoy fruit between meals rather than after meals. Focus on berries and lower-fructose fruits such as kiwi, papaya, apples, mandarins, and pomegranate.
-
Nuts, seeds, and minerals: Include raw nuts and seeds. Pumpkin seeds are especially beneficial. Aim for a small handful daily, or grind them into meals or smoothies. Hemp seeds are also supportive.
-
Iodine-rich foods: Include seaweed wafers, nori sheets, or kelp granules in small regular amounts.
-
Fluids: Drink filtered water and organic herbal teas, mainly between meals.
Things to take out
These things will damaged and deplete your energy system :
-
Alcohol
-
Vaping, smoking commercial cigarettes
-
Sugar and sweet foods not made by nature
-
Soft drinks, energy drinks, commercial milk drinks
-
Overconsumption of poor quality coffee and tea
-
Artificial flavours, colours, emulsifiers, preservatives
-
Volatile organic compounds from perfumes, commercial deoderant, cleaning productions, commercial laundry products, artificial fragrances (eg: Ambi pur, toilet sprays, non-essential oils, body washes, hair products etc), commercial skin care products and makeup, etc.
-
Electromagnetic radiation pollution - putting devices on the body (in pockets, to the ear for phone calls, holding the phone when a call is underway, sleeping next to your phone, being close to a charging port etc), wireless technology (eg:airpods/headphones, bluetooth etc), wifi (ethernet cables are the only safe internet option, wifi should be turned on the modem, and the modem must be away from bedrooms and living areas).
-
Spending too long with toxic people, places, events etc - choose peace as much as possible. Learn how to manage relationships in respectful ways if this is a taxing influence (eg: Brene Brown).
-
Overwork
-
Late nights
-
Overconsumption of screen time
-
Light pollution - become tuned into the light outside. Turn off overhead lighting when it is dark outside. Lighting should be yellow side lighting at night. Stay off screens 1-2 hours before bedtime.
​
How and when to Eat
This plan supports digestion, blood sugar balance, and gut repair.
-
Eat three proper meals per day rather than grazing.
-
Avoid snacking where possible and allow yourself to feel gently hungry between meals. This supports a natural cleansing wave in the gut that prevents bloating and bacterial overgrowth.
-
Hydration is important, but timing matters.
-
Avoid drinking for 30–45 minutes before meals and wait 60–90 minutes after meals to protect digestive enzyme strength. Aim for 1.5–2 litres of fluid daily between meals.
-
Chew your food well and eat slowly.
-
This reduces digestive stress and helps your body register fullness properly.
-
Avoid gluten and wheat-based foods completely.
-
These are inflammatory for many people and can irritate the gut lining, disrupt blood sugar, increase cravings, and contribute to fatigue and pain.
-
Reduce sugar.
-
Sugar drives inflammation, pain, and fat storage and destabilises energy and mood.
A SIMPLE DAILY STRUCTURE
-
Breakfast: Have a proper meal. Options include eggs, a vegetable-based frittata, soup, a protein smoothie, or porridge topped with seed meal.
-
Lunch: A large salad with protein, soup, or leftovers from dinner.
-
Dinner: Half your plate as vegetables with protein. If eating late, vegetables alone may be enough. Include healthy fats such as olive oil or coconut oil.
-
Between meals: Water or herbal tea. Only eat if truly hungry. If needed, choose pumpkin seeds or low-sugar fruit.
-
Dessert: Preferably none. If desired, berries with plain yogurt and hemp seeds.
-
Avoid eating within three hours of bedtime.
SLEEP AND NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT
Your nervous system needs clear signals of day and night to regulate hormones, digestion, and immune repair.
-
Create a consistent evening routine.
-
Dim lights after sunset, reduce stimulation, and aim for an early dinner.
-
Limit screen exposure at night.
-
Switch off devices after dark where possible, ideally before 8 pm.
-
Support deep sleep.
-
Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and free from electronic devices. Turn off Wi-Fi at night and charge devices outside the bedroom.
-
If you wake during the night, this may reflect low blood sugar or nervous system activation. The dietary and routine changes in this plan are designed to address this gently over time. A helpful exercise if you do wake, an exercise like this might be helpful. The Vagus Nerve Reset (you can do this exercise with your eyes closed in your normal sleep position, if your eyes become tired from holding the position, change to the other side or rest and re-engage).
MOVEMENT AND BRAIN HEALTH
Your body and brain both need regular stimulation to stay resilient.
-
Strength exercises help support muscles, bones, and metabolism. Focus on core strength.
-
Cardiovascular movement such as walking, cycling, dancing, or swimming supports circulation and energy production.
-
Mental stimulation is equally important.
-
Daily puzzles, games, learning, or focused attention practices support memory and brain health.
REDUCING TOXIC LOAD
Your nervous system and immune system are sensitive to environmental overload.
-
Reduce exposure to Wi-Fi and digital devices, especially at night. Avoid sleeping with phones or tablets nearby.
-
Minimise chemical exposure. Avoid fragranced products, including perfumes, air fresheners, and strongly scented cleaning or laundry products.
-
Drink filtered water. This reduces chemical and fluoride exposure and supports detoxification pathways.
ORAL HEALTH AND WHOLE-BODY HEALTH
Bacteria in the mouth can drive inflammation, and issues with immunity, heart health, mood and gut health.
Choose a natural, fluoride-free toothpaste. We like the Weleda Salt Toothpaste, paired with an enamel repair and mouth detox powder like Gigi's Tooth Powder.
Soak your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide several times a week.
Use an interdental brush or water flosser to clean between teeth, especially at night.
HOW FSM SUPPORTS THIS PLAN
Frequency Specific Microcurrent works alongside nutrition and lifestyle changes to help your body reset and regulate. Each session is tuned in to the presenting layer requiring support, and we will move through the recovery process together, guided by the wisdom and intelligence of your amazing self-healing body.
As your system becomes calmer and more regulated, your body will respond more effectively to the nutritional and lifestyle changes you are making. This plan is not about doing everything perfectly all at once, it is just about creating steady, supportive change that your body can feel safe within.
​
Keep the changes you make within the boundary of what is possible for you right, no judgement, no stress. Be kind to yourself.
​
We will adjust this together as your body responds.
