A Natural Approach to Anxiety & Stress Relief

You asked, and we’re saying Yes! We are now offering relaxation treatments as a one time visit. Many clients of our many programs have often remarked, “This treatment is so relaxing, it provides the same feeling after a really good massage!” We listened and now we are giving it a try as a one time visit outside of our regular programs which usually last 3-5 days, or 1-5 weeks.

Our individual relaxation treatments can help relax your body, relieve discomfort and demonstrate how your body has the ability to heal itself.  We teach you how to empower your body to heal itself, naturally!

Book your session today to reclaim your wellbeing and experience a sense of deep relaxation!

What Is Auricular Therapy and How Does It Work?

For 33+ years, the STOP Clinic Method has helped clients quit smoking, lose weight, and reverse illnesses using a variety of personalized methods – one of which being Auricular Therapy (electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve). Our success rate for treating smoking cessation with this treatment is better than 95%.

Clients who have completed our programs for stopping nicotine or food related illness often come back for relaxation treatments as “tune-ups” or simply to relieve stress and anxiety.

Now for the first time, we are offering this opportunity “outside” of our normal programs for addictions.

Vagus nerve stimulation has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine to treat many problems, ranging from stress, anxiety, addictions, improving mental wellbeing, calming the heart, and bringing the body back to a place of balance and peace.

In ancient China, before big Pharma was introduced into our culture, when people sought the aid of their healer, they were often asked, “What are we working on today?” Many times their response was simply, “Well being.”

What Does a Relaxation Treatment Feel Like?

During the treatment, you may feel a warming, pricking or tingling sensation and a deep sense of relaxation. Many people who have headaches or a body pain, feel the pain releasing during the treatment. 

There are no medications or drugs involved, so the treatment is safe for everyone, even those with heart problems, pacemakers, people on heavy medications, pregnant people, and children.

How Vagus Nerve Stimulation Helps Reduce Stress and Anxiety

The vagus nerve is one of the longest and most important nerves in the body – and the vital bridge between your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When these two systems are out of balance, it can cause stress, anxiety, and countless other problems.

Stimulating the vagus nerve, however, helps repair this connection and relax the body. Ways of stimulating the vagus nerve you may have already experienced by accident in your daily life include:

  • Deep, regular breathing (such as is practiced during yoga or meditation)
  • Exercise (which causes Endorphins to realise naturally and quickly)
  • Eating a healthy diet

Our treatments tap into the vagus nerve using mild, soothing, electrical currents – a.k.a., auricular therapy or “electrical acupuncture” allowing YOUR body to passively release endorphins which both relax and calm your nervous system and entire body!
