Clinical and operational questions answered directly by Marybeth Van Horn, RN, covering our seven restorative modalities, pricing, and scheduling in Littleton, CO.
General & Clinic Operations
How does Marybeth Van Horn’s nursing background shape my care?
With nearly 50 years of clinical and hospital nursing experience, Marybeth combines rigorous medical understanding with gentle restorative frequency modalities, ensuring every protocol is grounded in safety, physiology, and individual wellness goals.
Do you accept health insurance or HSA/FSA cards?
We are a direct-pay holistic clinic to keep care individualized and unconstrained by insurance restrictions. Many clients successfully use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for consultations and therapies.
Pillar 1: Rife Frequency Medicine
Does Rife therapy hurt or cause electric shocks?
No. Rife therapy is gentle, completely non-invasive, and relaxing. Most clients feel nothing or a subtle warming sensation during their session.
Who should not receive Rife therapy?
Rife therapy is contraindicated for individuals with implanted electrical devices (such as pacemakers) and pregnant women. Marybeth reviews full health histories before recommending sessions.
Pillar 2: Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy (VAT)
How does Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy stimulate the vagus nerve?
VAT transmits precise low-frequency acoustic vibrations through specialized sound transducers into the body, shifting brainwave states and stimulating the vagus nerve to calm chronic fight-or-flight stress.
What should I wear to a Vibroacoustic session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without heavy belts or metal buttons. You remain fully clothed on the sound mat throughout the session.
Pillar 3: BioMat Far-Infrared Therapy
How does the BioMat differ from an infrared sauna?
Unlike saunas that heat ambient air, the BioMat uses genuine amethyst crystal channels to conduct deep far-infrared heat directly into joints and muscles without head-overheating or claustrophobia.
Can BioMat help with chronic morning stiffness and fibromyalgia?
Yes. The combination of far-infrared rays and negative ions enhances microvascular circulation and relaxes tense muscle tissues, providing lasting relief for chronic aches.
Pillar 4: Ionic Cellular Detox Foot Bath
What is the purpose of the water color changes during an ionic foot bath?
Water color changes result from the ionization reaction between the saline bath, the array electrodes, and perspiration compounds, stimulating cellular lymphatic drainage.
How many foot bath sessions are recommended?
Most clients begin with a series of 4 to 6 weekly sessions to support seasonal or systemic lymphatic decongestion, followed by monthly maintenance.
Pillar 5: Transdermal CO2 Bath Therapy
How does transdermal CO2 improve peripheral circulation?
Via the Bohr effect, dissolved CO2 absorbed through the skin triggers immediate capillary vasodilation and forces red blood cells to release oxygen directly into microvascular tissues.
Who benefits most from localized CO2 therapy?
Clients with cold extremities, peripheral neuropathy symptoms, slow-healing tissue recovery, or microcirculatory stagnation in the hands or feet.
Pillar 6: Wellness Pro Electrostimulation
How does Wellness Pro differ from a standard home TENS unit?
Standard TENS simply masks pain signals. The Wellness Pro utilizes a sophisticated microcurrent frequency spectrum designed to support cellular ATP production and tissue rehabilitation.
Is Wellness Pro effective for acute post-surgical recovery?
Yes, by calming localized inflammation and encouraging tissue recovery, it is frequently used to assist post-injury rehabilitation and acute muscle spasm relief.
Pillar 7: Nurse-Led Holistic Health Consultation
What happens during a Nurse-Led Consultation with Marybeth?
A 60-to-90 minute clinical evaluation reviewing symptom history, medication interactions, energetic stressors, and creating a tailored roadmap combining appropriate clinic modalities.
Can I book therapies without a formal consultation first?
Yes, individual sessions can be booked directly, but first-time clients seeking complex chronic recovery benefit significantly from a comprehensive intake.
