The treatments offered at Holistic Rising—while gentle and non-invasive—can initiate physical and emotional shifts as the body returns to balance. Some clients may experience temporary side effects, including:

• Mild skin discoloration or bruising, especially after physical manipulation or bodywork
• Tenderness or soreness in treated areas
• Fatigue, light-headedness, or heightened sensitivity
• Emotional release, such as tearfulness, mood swings, or vivid dreams
• Detox symptoms, including headaches, temporary digestive upset, or skin changes

These responses are considered a normal part of the healing process and typically subside within 24–72 hours. They are a sign that the body is processing and releasing stored energy or tension. We encourage clients to rest, hydrate, and be gentle with themselves following any session.

If a client particularly disagrees or wishes to not experience any of these possible side effects, this needs to be communicated to the therapist before the treatment begins. In this case the treatment may need to be altered, modified or swapped for another; the importance here is that expectations are managed with informed consent to avoid any misunderstanding, confusion or disagreement.

At Holistic Rising, we are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and professional environment for both clients and practitioners.

All staff are required to conduct themselves with the highest standard of professionalism, discretion, and care. We request that clients uphold the same level of respect. Any of the following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

Any such behavior may result in immediate termination of the session without refund and possible removal from future bookings.
