The raindrop technique is inspired by the Lakota, North American Tribe. Traditionally the nomadic tribes would journey into far northern Canada to witness the aurora borealis, ie, the northern lights. The tribe would follow the buffalo herds in summer and when the northern lights were active all who were sick would stand and hold their hands up to the light believing it to be a great spirit, inhale in the healing power of the lights.

When borders were established between Canada and the U.S. the Lakota tribe could no longer travel north. Restricted to their reservations they envisioned the healing lights while their bodies were lightly brushed or stroked by members of the tribe. This action with the memory of their previous experiences served as a substitute for the restorative energy they once enjoyed. This is the inspiration for the raindrop technique.

• On your first treatment a skin test will be done to assess if there are any sensitivities to the oils, this may take about 10 minutes
