Tips for Self Care
01
Nervous System Support
Your nervous system plays a big role in how you feel day to day. Simple things like taking a few slow, intentional breaths, stepping outside for fresh air, or pausing between tasks can help your body shift out of stress mode. Try to build in small moments of stillness throughout your day, even if it’s just a few minutes.
02
Sleep Support
Good sleep supports everything from healing to mood and energy. Aim for a consistent sleep schedule when you can, and create a wind-down routine that helps your body relax before bed. This might include dimming the lights, limiting screen time, or doing something calming like stretching or reading.
03
Gentle Movement
Movement can help regulate your body, but it doesn’t need to be intense to be effective. Walking, light stretching, or slow, mindful movement can support circulation, reduce tension, and help your body feel more balanced. Pay attention to what feels supportive rather than forcing activity.
04
Hydration & Nourishment
Staying hydrated and eating regularly helps support your body’s natural processes. Try to drink water consistently throughout the day and focus on balanced meals when possible. Simple, nourishing foods can help maintain steady energy and support overall function.
05
Managing Stress
Stress shows up in the body in many ways, so it’s important to have tools that help you reset. This could be deep breathing, journaling, spending time in quiet environments, or limiting overstimulation when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Even short breaks during the day can make a difference.
06
Listening to your body
One of the most important parts of self-care is paying attention to what your body is telling you. If something feels off, slowed down, or out of balance, it’s worth acknowledging rather than pushing through. Rest, pause, and adjusting your routine when needed are all part of supporting your health.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs, and try to come having eaten something light so you’re comfortable during treatment.
