Beyond excited to announce the launching date for the new Vagus nerve stimulation treatment! You can officially book from the 15th of July. 

If you are not sure why it could be important for you, please read on, it will be well worth it I promise! 

I was originally inspired to create a treatment that is centred around abdominal massage. Before I knew it, it took on a life of its own, and evolved through several steps to become what is essentially a Vagus nerve stimulation; as far as I know possibly the only one in Northern-Ireland, certainly one of a kind as it was created by me through lots of research, studies and practice. 

So, let me just briefly fill you in why this is so exciting, and what amazing results my trials have produced. 

The Vagus nerve is an important large nerve that connects your brain to your main organs: heart, lungs, liver, digestive system. It is also the main nerve to help you calm down. Let me repeat this: the Vagus nerve is what is responsible for you being able to come down from stress.  

• A strong vagus nerve means a sense of wellbeing, the ability to cope with stressful situations, a good digestion and reduced inflammation, and deeper connection in our social lives.  
• A weak vagus nerve means mental health difficulties, struggling to cope in stressful situations, an inability to think clearly and feeling overwhelmed, impaired digestion and immune system, inflammation, and a lot of chronic health conditions. 

Vns (Vagus nerve stimulation) was first used in epileptic patients whose seizures could be suppressed by correct stimulation at the neck. A vagal nerve stimulating implant similar to a pacemaker was invented to treat epilepsy, pain, depression, migraines, tinnitus etc. All with excellent results so far, studies are still ongoing as it is tried for more and more conditions. 

So here is a list of conditions where the vagus nerve stimulation (Vns) device has been shown to improve symptoms: 

• Epilepsy – it results in 50% seizure reduction in up to 50% patients over time 
• Migraines, headaches and vertigo – the vagus nerve calms the centres in the brain responsible 
• Depression – Vns device is now more widely used to treat depression 
• Sleeping disorders – helps falling asleep and improves sleep quality 
• IBS and other digestive issues – miscommunication between the gut and brain is key to these conditions 
• Anxiety, PTSD – studies show a reduction in stress, Vns is like a biological antidote to stress related mental health issues 
• Fibromyalgia – patients always have low vagal tones. The vagus nerve is key in inflammatory responses, a strong vagal tone reduces inflammation and pain. 
• Tinnitus – there has been very positive results in treatments, currently being explored 
• Autism – low vagal activity has been associated with autistic behaviours and language impairment; Vns may provide symptomatic relief. Studies showed improvement in alertness and mood. 

Pretty impressive, right? Though with the device, it takes some time for the improvements.  

I have been trialling my Vns treatment for the past few weeks, and here is what I can report: 

Out of the 4 people who have received only a partial treatment, one went into a state of feeling centred that lasted for 3 days, with further lasting improvements on her Ptsd. One who was off work with anxiety experienced some deep emotional shifts that left her exhausted and feeling off that day, but a few days later woke to feeling bored and restless being at home, wanting to go out and meeting friends – she literally got “bored” of her own anxiety. Another reported that the night after treatment he noticed that his sense of taste, which he lost to Covid a few months back, returned. And another said that she had a very stressful week afterwards, and she definitely felt that she coped way better than usual. 

I’m literally overwhelmed by this response. I still cannot comprehend how a partial treatment already achieved so much. It will be a while before I work on more people and will have a more reliable result feedback, but I’m really looking forward to working with people with different conditions to see how much the treatment helps.  

So, that’s it in a large nutshell.  

The treatment is 90 minutes long and fully clothed. Suitable for everyone.
