Non-narcotic Sleep Series
Options of Care for Sleep Deprivation
Sleep, and the lack of it, is one of the biggest challenges facing our Veteran and Active Duty community today. Sleep deprivation causes mental, emotional and physical fatigue and can be a serious risk factor for depression, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other health challenges. This can impact one’s sense of hope for the future and quality of life.
The success of our Healing Touch Sleep Series program has led us to expand the Sleep Series to offer more options of care. Read on below.
ACUPUNCTURE SLEEP SERIES
Acupuncture is excellent at improving the quality of sleep and treats both acute and chronic cases of insomnia and sleeplessness.
CRANIOSACRAL SLEEP SERIES
CranioSacral Therapy works with the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.
HEALING TOUCH SLEEP SERIES
Healing Touch utilizes light touch on the body in specific sequencing signaling the body to release anxiety and rest deeply.
Guided Imagery
Belleruth Naparstek’s Guided Imagery meditation is used in the Sleep Series treatment. Healing Warriors Program will provide Guided Imagery for home self care.
What to Expect
When you arrive for your appointment, your practitioner will do a brief medical history review. You will then lay on a therapy table, fully clothed. The treatment lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Your treatment session may include Guided Imagery. You may fall asleep while receiving care. This is common and your practitioner will awaken you when the session is over.
Cost
All service members receive one grant for the 6-session clinic series at no charge. Additional series are available at the donor-supported rate of $179 for the 6-session treatment series. Market value for this package is $775.
The Non-narcotic Sleep Series is made possible through a grant from the Elevations Foundation.
