Ethics
We respect each person’s right to decide what they wish to change and how. Therefore, our techniques are never forceful or compelling. We believe that lasting change only happens with the cooperation of all parties involved.
We respect and encourage the collaboration with other facilitators, clinics, mental health professionals and therapists. We recognize that while we have valuable techniques and procedures to offer, each individual or their parents or guardians are responsible for their own healing or improvement.
Our role is not to diagnose our clients. We work with what is underlying any diagnosis, balancing the body to enable it to function at a more balanced level.
We do not prescribe medications or interfere with medication usage. This is not our role or responsibility. If a client is under the care of a physician and they feel that their medication needs adjusting, they are to consult their prescribing physician.

Touch & Brain integration
Touch is an important human need. Touching another person is something that must be done with great care and respect. We exercise caution when working with our clients, and in training our facilitators that honoring personal boundaries is a vital part of the integrative process.
