What is “The Beyond Surgery Program”?
The Beyond Surgery® Program is a protocol of integrative therapies designed to support individuals as they approach and go through any type of medical procedure or situation which may cause anxiety and discomfort.
How does it work?
The full protocol consists of five sessions. Two pre-procedural sessions followed by three post- procedural sessions. During the initial session the client receives education, coaching and experiences an energy balancing technique. This portion of the program also includes a client workbook and guided imagery CD to facilitate a deeper understanding of the process of initiating the body’s innate healing response. The remaining sessions focus on energy balancing with guided imagery to assist in stress reduction, pain management and accelerated healing.
Who can benefit from using The Beyond Surgery® Program?
Anyone who is approaching a procedure or situation which will cause them pain, anxiety, or discomfort for a time, can benefit from using The Beyond Surgery® Program.
It is a versatile program which can be adapted to the needs of any medical procedure, surgery, or life situation in which an individual wishes to feel more calm and in control, and to take advantage of optimizing the effectiveness of their standard medical care. Whether the situation is surgery, chemotherapy treatmetns, childbirth or dental care, the tools taught in The Beyond Surgery® Program can assist in creating an internal and external atmosphere conducive to accelerated healing and optimal outcome. The tools taught and used in the program are also an easy and comprehensive means of managing stress levels and an effecive way for any individual to maintain their health and wellness.
How early do I need to begin The Beyond Surgery® Program?
The timing for an individual’s customized protocol will vary according to the type and complexity of the situation being addressed.
For most minor and major surgeries, it is very beneficial to begin The Beyond Surgery® Program protocol two to three weeks in advance of the procedure; however, if less time is available, great benefit will still occur as many of the techniques are used immediately prior to and after a procedure.
Can I use just certain parts of The Beyond Surgery® Program?
Although we recommend the use of the full protocol for most situations, The Beyond Surgery® Program is simple in its basic design so that it can be adapted to each client’s unique circumstances.
Where do I go for my sessions?
Your Beyond Surgery® practitioner will likely have an office where you will go for your two pre-operative sessions. As part of your first pre-operative session, you will schedule the dates, times and locations of your other sessions. Your practitioner will go to the hospital, clinic or to your home for your post operative sessions, depending on the nature of your procedure. We have a number of Beyond Surgery® practitioners in many states, and the number of trained providers is steadily growing. Please see the “Practitioners” page of our website for a listing of our current practitioners.
What if there is no practitioner in my area?
The Beyond Surgery® Program was designed to offer several levels of support. The program’s “Client Workbook” and guided imagery CD “A Tranquil Space” were created so that independent use of these tools could offer a great deal of support even when used without the added guidance and technical skill of a Healing Touch Practitioner trained in our program to be a Surgical Coach. The Beyond Surgery® Program’s “Client Workbook, A Toolbox for Initiating the Healing Response” along with its companion guided imagery CD, “A Tranquil Space”, can be ordered on our website’s Products page. Judy and Nancy are always happy to assist you in creating the level of support that you need or desire.
What do you teach about stress reduction?
Our practitioners teach clients the basics of stress reduction as they take them through the Beyond Surgery® protocol. Basic relaxation techniques are introduced and taught during initial sessions, and self healing techniques are taught with handouts for future reference. The complete thirty page client workbook/CD set is offered by each practitioner as part of the initial coaching session. We also offer an abriveated version of our complete client workbook entitiled “Daily Tune-Up For Stress Management and Beyond.”
