FAQs
Why pay everything upfront?
Because commitment is part of what makes it work. 10 sessions, done properly, is the test. Paying upfront means you actually finish the course, instead of drifting off after two and never knowing.
Why no single sessions?
One session is not a fair test of anything. I would genuinely rather you went to another clinic for a once off than paid me and judged the whole thing on day one.
Is the block refundable?
Your block is a commitment, and it is priced as one. I do not offer refunds simply because you change your mind, the whole point of paying upfront is that you finish the course and give it a fair test. The block is also tied to you personally, because every client completes a health intake before their first session, so it is not transferable to someone else. If something serious and genuine gets in the way, illness, relocation, a real change in circumstances, talk to me, and we will work out a fair arrangement for the sessions you have not used.
How quickly will I notice anything?
It varies from person to person. But I will tell you what I see. A lot of people notice a real lift in mood and energy after the very first session. Many sleep better that same night. I have had clients tell me they felt less pain and more comfortable in their body after a single session with red light therapy. Others take a little longer. Your body needs time to put a new source of energy to work. That is exactly why this is a course of 10 and not a one off. Some things you feel quickly. Some things build.
Will this actually work for me?
Most likely, yes. In the nearly 10 years I've worked in the red light therapy space I have seen miraculous turnarounds in peoples health across almost all conditions. So while I can never make absolute promises to you, I am extremely confident that you'll get positive results, because I've seen it thousands of times before. Every body is different. What I can promise is the conditions: the most complete setup in the country, the protocol run properly, and 10 sessions, which is a fair and honest test. If it is going to work for you, that is how you will know.
Is it safe? Are there any side effects?
Red light therapy is widely considered very low risk. The only real side effect comes from too much light, an overdose, which can leave you feeling a little nauseous or disrupt sleep for a night. The whole point of a properly structured setup is dose control. The intensity, your distance, and the time under the light are all set deliberately, so there is virtually no risk of overdoing it. And if you ever felt it was too much, the fix is simple: a short break, then less, more distance, less time, lower intensity.
Do I need to protect my eyes during a session?
You do not have to. Red light is one of the few kinds of light that may support eye wellness, and some of the most interesting research of the last few years, out of University College London, points exactly that way. That said, the panels are bright, and if your eyes feel sensitive I am happy to give you eye protection. Your choice.
I have had a hip or knee replacement. Is that a problem?
No. Red and near infrared light does not interfere with metal implants. It is non ionising, so it does not heat metal the way an MRI or a microwave would. Plenty of people with joint replacements use red light therapy as part of their routine. If you have any concern about your specific situation, have a quick word with your surgeon, but from my side there is nothing to worry about.
Why has my doctor never mentioned red light therapy?
That is changing fast. For a long time it sat outside conventional medical training, even though the research base is large and growing (one Harvard researcher alone has published over 800 peer reviewed papers on it). The honest answer is that awareness is only now catching up with the science. In fact, some of my own clients have been referred to me by their doctors. The tide is turning.
Can I keep doing my sauna, ice bath or training around this?
Yes, with one tweak. Keep them a few hours apart from your light sessions where you can. When you lie under the light, the real work happens at a cellular level, and it carries on for hours after you leave. Stacking a sauna or an ice bath straight on top makes your body try to do two big jobs at once. Space them out and you get the full benefit of each.
Isn't a more powerful panel better?
No, and this is worth understanding. These are already among the most powerful panels on the market, measured at around 86 mW/cm2. If you ever see a panel advertised at over 100 mW/cm2, you can almost guarantee it was measured with a solar meter, which massively overstates the real figure. Anything past 100 mW/cm2 is overkill anyway. For reference, midday sun is around 100. You do not need a light stronger than the sun.
I am pregnant or trying to conceive. Can I do this?
My treatment is full body, which means the light reaches the abdomen, and direct light over the abdomen is the one thing the research advises against during pregnancy, simply because there is not enough safety data to be sure. So if you are pregnant, this particular setup is not the right fit while you are expecting, and I would rather tell you that honestly than take your money. If you are trying to conceive, that is a conversation to have with your doctor first, and it is one of the things the short health pre-screen asks about so we can talk it through before anything is booked.
