Jordanna

Mataró on May 2025

I did breathwork sessions with Lottie - kind of counseling through the breath - once a week for a year before doing her training, and it was completely life transforming for me. She’s very intuitive, well trained, and knows how to hold space, and I’m not easy to hold space for. I went back for a trade session last week as part of the training and it was again consistently great. Price felt fair and I honestly can’t say anything negative.

Pauline

Barcelona on Jun 2025

I did a hypnosis session and EMDR therapy over multiple sessions, and I loved it. I contacted the therapist, she was reactive and got me an appointment a week after I reached out, and she showed flexibility with my schedule. We started with hypnosis, she took the time to explain the method and guide me through it, and the place where she practices is very cozy. EMDR is different than hypnosis, it started in the 60s and 70s and uses movement of the eye to solve deeper trauma from a painful past event, it was very effective for me and worth the price, and I felt a lot of relief.

Olivia

Castelldefels on Oct 2025

My experience with her has always been very calm and completely stress-free. She has a real power for relaxation - every single therapy session helps me let go and often makes me fall asleep because I feel so at ease. She’s very gentle, respectful, and attentive in every treatment, whether it’s sacrocranial therapy, massage, or reflexology for the feed. I’ve been seeing her for about three years now, twice a month, and each session leaves me deeply relaxed and rebalanced. It’s a truly healing experience every time - I couldn’t recommend her more.

Dos and Don’ts as an expat

The ultimate guide: dos and don’ts for navigating the world of alternative medicine

Do’s
Do Research the Provider's Expertise and Specialization
Prioritize practitioners who demonstrate clear expertise in their specific area of alternative medicine. Look for providers with a strong background and training relevant to the therapy type you are seeking, as their knowledge directly impacts the quality of care and results you can expect.
Do Pay Attention to the Environment and Space
Select a service provider whose clinic offers a clean, calm, and inviting atmosphere. A soothing environment can enhance your experience and contribute positively to the therapeutic effects of the treatment, making it easier to relax and engage fully.
Do Look for Personalized Treatment Plans
Choose providers who create tailored treatment plans based on your individual needs. Personalization in therapy, whether through direct feedback or unique approaches, often leads to better outcomes and demonstrates the provider's commitment to your well-being.
Do Seek Recommendations for Holistic Approaches
Explore practitioners who employ holistic methods by addressing both physical and emotional aspects of care. Testimonials highlighting effective treatment plans that combine multiple techniques can indicate a more comprehensive and beneficial experience.
Dont’s
Don't Expect Luxurious Surroundings
Many alternative medicine providers emphasize quality of service over decor. If you're prioritizing a plush environment, you might be disappointed by simpler setups. Focus on the quality of treatment instead of the ambiance.
Don't Avoid Asking Questions
Service providers may come across as reserved initially, but they possess valuable knowledge. Avoid hesitating to ask questions during sessions to better understand the therapy and tailor it to your needs for a more beneficial experience.
Don't Schedule Without Advance Planning
Alternative medicine practitioners often have busy schedules. Avoid waiting until the last minute to book appointments, as many providers prefer or require early scheduling to ensure availability, particularly for popular therapies.
Don't Ignore Personal Responsibility in Treatment
While many alternative medicine treatments can be highly effective, it's important not to rely solely on them for health solutions. Engage actively in your wellness journey, incorporating personal responsibility along with professional guidance.
