The session is not over when the client leaves the room.  After-session follow-up is one of the most important parts of the entire process which is frequently overlooked or not carried out to its full extent in virtually all other healing modalities.  If this step is not done fully and properly, growth attained in session will be less effective in the client’s life.  In a real sense, this is a crucial phase that supports the client’s integration of the lessons and energy from session into their everyday life.
