Your Nervous System Has Been Stuck In Survival Mode.

No. The session is extremely gentle and relaxing. There are even tuning forks designed to help with pain in the body.

Tuning forks create gentle vibrations that can be both heard and felt by the body. This vibrational input may help promote relaxation, nervous system regulation, and an overall sense of balance and well-being.

Acupoints provide intentional locations for introducing vibration into the body. In Authentic Touch, we use specific points along the traditional meridian pathways described in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Not entirely. The unique part of Authentic Touch is how two different frequencies are used together. Rather than focusing on one fork, one frequency, or one acupoint, paired forks are applied to corresponding points on the body.

Think of two musical notes creating a harmony. Each fork produces its own frequency, but when the vibrations interact, they create a more complex combined vibrational pattern.

This intersection of frequencies is at the heart of the Authentic Touch technique.

Using corresponding acupoints allows two different vibrational inputs to be introduced along the same traditional meridian pathway. The intention is for these vibrations to interact rather than treating each point independently.

Vibration provides sensory input to receptors within the skin, muscles, connective tissue, and nervous system. Many people find rhythmic vibration deeply calming, which may help shift the body toward a more relaxed state.

It's really in the relationship between them. The acupoints determine where the vibration is introduced, the forks provide two distinct frequencies, and their interaction creates the unique vibrational experience that defines Authentic Touch.

Many clients report profound relaxation and nervous system relief afterward.

Therapeutic-grade essential oils selected to support relaxation and nervous system balance.

Yes. During the essential oil portion, you’ll feel the oils applied along the spine and specific acupoints using gentle tapping and light scratching techniques to provide sensory stimulation.

During the tuning fork portion, you’ll actually feel the forks vibrating against the body as they’re placed on different acupoints. The sensation is typically gentle, rhythmic, and deeply relaxing.

Everyone responds differently—some people also notice warmth, tingling, a sense of emotional release, or a profound feeling of calm during or after their session.

Yes—but not in the sense of a specific energy-work modality such as Reiki.

We believe energy is an inherent part of all intentional bodywork. Whenever two people are working together in a therapeutic setting, there is an exchange of presence, awareness, intuition, and energy alongside the physical techniques being used.

Authentic Touch does not follow a prescribed energy-healing protocol. Instead, the practitioner works intuitively—paying attention to what is felt, observed, and sensed throughout the session and allowing that information to help guide the work.

We believe some of the most powerful healing work happens when technique and intuition meet: the physical tools provide structure, while the practitioner remains present and receptive to something greater than the technique itself.

Sessions typically last around 30 minutes. Some clients like to add on an additional 30 minutes for a 1-hour session.
