I don’t have a traditional MD here in Colorado. My healthcare practitioner is Darlene Vouama, CMI, AHT, of Embracing The Gift. She has consistently provided for me healthcare services above and beyond anything I’ve ever received from both traditional and alternative doctors and practitioners. I knew that she would not only tell me exactly what was going on, but assist me in completely recovering from my reaction. The smartest move would have been to call Darlene immediately after the massage, but, looking back, I know I was in denial about how bad things actually were.
I called Darlene on a Saturday morning. With her work phone forwarded after-hours, she picked up and listened to my whimpering, traumatized account of the Massage-Gone-Very-Wrong. She worked with me on the spot, over the phone to identify exactly what was occurring within my body.
We learned that the massage had released a dormant, autoimmune illness, and as it circulated within my system, it increased in severity. The toxin load was “clumpy” and traditional detoxification methods, such as those suggested by the massage center, were not only completely ineffective, but actually exacerbated the condition.
Darlene was very, very concerned for me. She explained that without immediate resolution, the toxin load would continue to expand and overwhelm my body. My body would become weaker and weaker, and I would most likely eventually drag myself to the emergency room because my system was gradually shutting down. Darlene emphasized: this is an emergency situation. You need to get these toxins out immediately.
Darlene stopped whatever she was doing that Saturday to go in to Omni-Calm, research and prepare a unique one-of-a-kind Flush treatment for me, and spend the afternoon and evening monitoring my improvement. Darlene had never encountered this specific autoimmune toxin response, and she told me she needed time to formulate my treatment; she’d call me back and let me know when I could come in.
As I waited, I processed everything Darlene had said. I had an acidic taste in my mouth. My breath was labored. My arms were heavy. I was in a daze. I hadn’t eaten in a very long time. I was getting worse.
If I didn’t know Darlene, I would have taken myself to the hospital.
Darlene called me back about 40 minutes later. I drove to Omni-Calm. Darlene was dressed like she had been planning to go out, and I felt guilty; rather than a fun evening with friends, here she was Saturday night flushing intense crazy toxins for one of her clients.
The Flush consisted of a special botanical blend. When immersed in warm water, this treatment would simultaneously break down the toxins, support my body’s detoxification channels in releasing/flushing the toxins, and assist my body in recovering from the physical stress brought on by the overload.
Not your typical detox treatment. Something much more powerful – which is what I needed.
The flush felt easy and pleasant. I immediately felt a sense of calm, as if my entire body breathed a huge sigh of relief. I felt different sensations or “activity” throughout my body. There was a cleansing sensation through my blood and the lymph nodes in my neck. There was one point in the treatment where, for short duration, I processed different emotions – feelings of sadness, loneliness, insecurities. I felt the wave of these emotions pass through me. Darlene said these were most likely emotional attachments to the dormant illness, and they came to the surface as the illness itself left my body.
After the flush, I sat quietly and relaxed. Darlene wanted me to rest before I drove home, and she wanted to monitor my body’s response to the Flush. She told me that this treatment would continue to work through the week to completely and thoroughly cleanse my body of all the toxins the massage had dredged up.
Throughout the week, I took it easy. My appetite returned, and my limbs were stronger. Darlene called me on Sunday to check-in, asking how I was doing/feeling and asked me to elaborate on specific symptoms. And throughout the rest of the week, until I came in for an appointment, she called each day to check up on me.
I am very familiar with the power and uniqueness of Darlene’s treatments. But this story, with my rapid and severe degradation of health in the course of 36 hours, how awful I felt, and how Darlene stepped in and made me feel immediately better, immediately safe, that I would be okay – the whole thing was just really intense. I think I’m just still in shock. I felt like I was dying, and then in the course of half an hour, Darlene turns it all around with one treatment. I don’t like to think about what would have happened if Darlene wasn’t there for me.
Omni-Calm is marketed as a Spa, yes. But Darlene also runs a successful healthcare center and when you use her products or services, you get not only an effective treatment, but the best combination of clinical expertise and experience with pampering and genuine dedication to your continued well-being.
Which is why I always come back to Omni-Calm and Embracing The Gift. And Darlene. She’ll tell you she’s just doing her job, but her services and her care are in a league of their own. Thanks so much again, Darlene.
