Red Light Therapy
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy is the practice of using specific wavelengths of light to increase the body's innate, natural, self-healing mechanims. It stimulates the body's mitochondria to help with healing and overall performance. This therapy helps reduce oxidative stress, which is caused by an imbalance of free radicals and anti-oxidants in the body. To keep it simple, for many of us, our bodies are being polluted faster than they can detoxify, and Red Light Therapy helps accelerate the detoxifciation process. It also helps with moving oxygenated blood thrughout the body more effectively, thus speeding up the body's own capacity for restoration and repair.
Why do people come for Red Light Therapy?
Just like fresh air and food, our bodies require natural light for optimal health. In our day-to-day lives, we are exposed to a lot of artificial light through the overhead lights in our homes, offices, places of gathering, but also through the various screens we find oursleves engaging with throughout the day. This "blue light" can be harmful for the body's overall functioning and well-being, as it is missing crucial frequencies of light found in natural sunlight. People come for Red Light Therapy to get the body back into balance. Red Light Therapy mimics the experience of being outside on a warm, sunny day with the prefect breeze and no threat of sunburn or UV damage! It can be especially helpful for people who feel run down, burnt out, or chronically stressed.
What impact will Red Light Therapy have on my health and well-being?
Red Light Therapy gives the body one of the basic building blocks of life on earth: natural light. Humans, just like plants need sunlight to thrive. Red Light Therapy provides what has been missing for so many of us. It has an overall impact of improved health in many aspects of the body and even the mind.

Why Work with Us?
At Dragonfly Wellness Centre, we have two streams of support: addressing illness and promoting wellness.
Addressing illness is the traditional approach to healing where someone seeks out a practitioner because they are facing a complicated life issue, need help with physical illness, are feeling disconnected spiritually, or are suffering from a mental health crisis. People tend to ask for this kind of help when everything they have tried isn't working, and they need another perspective to solve the problems they are facing. The addressing illness approach is helpful for people in relationship crisis, experiencing a mental health condition, dealing with physical symptoms they can't resolve, or at a critical crossroads or transition point and feel like they don't know what to do next. In addressing illness, we explore where the problems came from, why they are still here, and what we can do to resolve them.
Promoting wellness is the second stream of healing at our Centre. Here, we are working with people who are generally high-functioning and are interested in staying well, increasing their productivity, taking their relationships to the next level of honesty and closeness, and living a life of passion and purpose. We offer this type of approach to entrepreneurs, parents, out-of-the-box thinkers, artists, and high-achievers. Many of our clients who are interested in promoting wellness become members of Dragonfly Academy.
When you choose us as your helping professionals, you get the best combination of training, heart, hope, and science.

What to Expect During Your Red Light Therapy Session
Once you decide to try Red Light Therapy, simply book in your session(s).
Alternatively, you could book in an initial consultation with our Clinical Director who will provide an overall wellness assessment and help you craft a treatment plan to address your wellness goals in the areas of mind/mindset, phyiscal health, relationship harmony, and spiritual alignment. Once you book your time, you will receive a complimentary 20-minute phone call at your preferred time. Please come prepared with your wellness goals.
You will be emailed a consent form and some information before your session to ensure you have all the information you need. Please arrive a few minutes early so you can ensure you will get the maximum benefit from your session. Sessions are short, and may also be offered as an add-on service to another modality at the suggestion of your practitioner.
If something is unclear, you feel you are not moving forward after a few treatments, or there is something else that makes you uncomfortable in your session, please tell your practitioner! While we are really good at what we do, we are not mind-readers and need you to openly communicate with us so we can collaboratively craft a plan to get to your goals.
