• What is a Bioenergetic Assessment?  
  • There are many forms of bioenergetic assessments. Sandra has learned several techniques but favors EAV and Radiesthesia (Dowsing for health). 
  • EAV (Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll) was discovered in 1940's by Dr. Reinhold Voll, a German medical doctor.  Dr. Voll discovered that he could measure the electrical conductance of acupuncture meridians which correlated with health issues/outcomes.  For example a low lung point reading (low conductivity) correlated with poor medical conditions related to the lung.  
  • The technology evolved and has come a long way with the advancement of computerization.  Using modern EAV equipment allows for a non-invasive assessment of the body's energetic meridians.  Points assessed are located on the fingers and toes.  In-person appointments will require you to take your shoes off and to have your skin free of excess oil or perspiration. 
  • 
  • Radiesthesia is also know as medical or health dowsing.  Utilizing a pendulum (traditionally, medical pendulums are made of either brass or stainless steel) to see what energetic systems are out of balance and what can bring them into balance.  
  • Sandra Stewart is a member of the American Society of Dowsers if you'd like more information, books or your own pendulum you can find that here: American Society of Dowsers

  • Remedy resonance is when a supplement/remedy is placed either on the body, on the sample envelope, or as a filter in the honeycomb of the EAV equipment to see how it energetically effects the meridian.  Can it help bring an out of balanced meridian into balance?  This allows for specific individualization on your suggested supplements.
  • Bioenergetic assessments allow for personalized and individualized recommendations.  Many clients say it takes the guesswork out of the health and wellness lifestyle choices.
• Do you accept insurance?
  • No.  Life-Thyme Solutions primarily focuses on using sophisticated equipment and practitioner-only supplements to help you achieve your wellness goals.  The consultations, supplements, energy balancing, classes and Bioenergetic assessments are not covered by insurance.  We process payments by STRIPE and PayPal to give you a variety of ways to pay.
• What can I expect during my first appointment?
  • If you are having a simple consultation without a Bioenergetic assessment then be prepared to take notes, have any questions ready and fill out your online forms available through your client portal.
  • If you are having a Bioenergetic assessment in person, wear comfortable clothing and be ready to have a non-invasive testing of energetic meridians through points located on your fingers and toes.
  • If you are having a long-distance Bioenergetic assessment you will need to send in a sample envelope that can be tested.
• What conditions do you treat?
  • At Life-Thyme Solutions we look at a client through a holistic health perspective.  Many people come who are previously diagnosed or currently diagnosed with traditional medical conditions such has PMS, Menopause, Infertility, Acute illness such as colds/flu or chronic illnesses such as auto-immune, cardiovascular conditions, gastrointestinal conditions, etc.  That is not how we look at wellness.  
  • Holistic approach means looking at causative factors and energetic factors involving the body, mind and spirit.  An example could be biography work or journaling to find the root cause of an emotional issue that may be manifesting in your physical body, such as grief causing a lung issue.  
  • Individualization means that your consultation will most likely be different from another client's.  They may need support and guidance for healthy food choices and recipes.  You may need natural solutions for hormone imbalances such as natural progesterone cream and herbal remedies.  Another client may need essential oil support for emotional imbalances.  Yet another may need energy work for spiritual clearing.  Each of us is unique and therefore an individual support plan will be suggested for you.  
  • You are in complete control of what you choose to incorporate or not into your wellness plan.
