Surgical Support
Facing surgery can be one of life’s most frightening experiences, for which none of us is prepared or equipped to cope.
Pre- and post-operative sessions can help ensure an optimal experience before, during and after surgery, enabling the patient to cope with the enormity of the experience, manage pain levels and blood loss, and to recover more quickly.

Patients who have added this modality as an adjunct to their medial care have been better able to make requests for their care in the hospital, felt less anxiety, have needed less anesthesia, have had less post-operative edema, pain and bruising, as well as have experienced a speedier recovery than expected.

In the case of cancer surgeries, the incidence of recurrence or tumor re-growth may also be lessened as core issues have been addressed.

Leena has worked with patients in local hospitals in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, as well as major medical centers including UVA, Duke, Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and Johns Hopkins.

The pre- and post-operative service is offered as a package, or as a series of sessions, which include:

Pre-Operative
Explorative dialogue, discussing fears and concerns as well as possible/probable outcomes
Hands-on work for pain management
Guided imagery techniques for stress management, successful outcome and speedy recovery
Support in shifting operating paradigms from "them" to you, empowering you to be pro-active throughout your hospital experience
Night before guided process, in person or by phone, for addressing fears and to help establish positive expectancy
Post-Operative
Hands-on wound healing (energy work can be performed through blankets, bandages, casts, and without actually touching the surgical site)
House call, if needed
Support in retuning to normal life patterns and integrating wellness care
Follow up care
