Patients remain fully clothed throughout their 40-minute session (long sleeves and full-length trousers required). They are helped into the suit by a technician before the systems’ air pressure and heat cables are connected to a computerized unit and the technician sets initial pressure/heat settings according to the clients needs. Once the suit starts to inflate, patients experience a squeezing sensation which should feel similar to a hug, with no discomfort. Next, a gentle heat spreads through the suit that is designed to penetrate the body, not just the surface, to avoid overheating. The technician ensures the settings are comfortable for the client, before providing an optional eye mask and headphones to enhance fully immersive relaxation.

Patients experience the best results by investing in a series of regular sessions, rather than taking a one-off approach. This is because the more often we put the body into a parasympathetic state, the more opportunity it has to reset and repair. And as we all know, regular relaxation is paramount in maintaining optimal mental health. This is why we recommend at least three sessions, with a minimum of three days in between sessions. One session per week is ideal and there is no limit on how many sessions people can have.

Nikki Barkhaus is a graduate of Mercy College of Nursing and registered nurse with over 22 years experience in traditional health care. In her time caring for patients, she became frustrated with the lack of resolutions for chronic illness and disease. This gave her motivation to learn more about natural health and shift her focus from a reactive to a proactive approach in nursing and education. In her own health journey, she discovered Nutrition Response Testing in 2018 and found relief from chronic symptoms she had experienced. Along with her husband, and direction from a chiropractor, she completed a natural weight loss program in 2019 that has forever changed her life and that of many others she has coached through it. Nikki opened Wholistic Health Center in January of 2020 and has expanded her nutrition practice to include weight loss, massage, wellness spa services, and functional labs after she earned certification to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. Her mission is build a healthier community and to provide natural health services and education for her clients to achieve optimal health.

Contour Light delivers both red light (635nm) and near infrared light (880nm) via high-powered, German-made, surface mount microchip LEDs that are embedded into a soft and flexible pad. The pads can be easily applied to any area of the face or body, conforming to the contours of a patient’s treatment area, and allowing the light source to be as close to the skin as possible. Contour Light’s proprietary reflective coating means that light that would normally bounce off the skin and dissipate, is captured and reflected back into the skin, resulting in a much higher retention of light energy than with other similar devices. This advancement is clinically proven to emulsify fat cells and quickly reduce cm’s from those stubborn areas of the body.

The Contour Light treatment is safe, painless and non-invasive all while taking a “warm” & relaxing” nap. The Contour Light System has delivered impressive results for patients looking for body contouring (circumferential reduction), pain relief, and increased blood circulation.

Average loss of 2 inches per single session in multiple areas cleared by the FDA.
