Reclaiming sleep, and making wellness dreams come true

Guys, how are you sleeping lately?

Many professionals, including yours truly, most of the time find their careers leading them into longer work hours and juggling multiple projects, which in turn also means constant screen time. This frequently translates to heightened stress levels and, more often than not, poor sleep quality. But prolonged sleep deprivation doesn’t just leave us feeling groggy and fatigued – it actually has profound effects on our overall health. 

Many studies, like one done by the National Institutes of Health in the US, indicate that insufficient sleep is linked to numerous physical or mental conditions, from cognitive dysfunction, and even the increased risk of chronic illnesses. 

That’s why sleep health is an essential component of wellness – something I was reminded of during my family’s stay at The Farm at San Benito.

My husband Nonong and I recently took part in The Farm’s Sleep Induction Therapy program, designed for individuals dealing with sleep issues. If you’re just like me, a full night’s sleep is something we don’t get as much as we should. 

As someone who believes in holistic healing and integrative medicine, I was eager to experience The Farm’s program firsthand. And I wasn’t disappointed – the therapy truly was transformative, and offered us a natural, gentle way to reset sleep cycles and improve overall health.

The program we underwent combined traditional healing techniques with modern, cutting-edge technology, offering a comprehensive approach to promoting better sleep. One of the standout therapies for me was Relaxology, a soothing massage designed to melt away stress and tension. Using long, rhythmic gestures, the therapist gently leads one’s mind into a peaceful, trance-like state.

The program also introduced us to more advanced therapies, such as Brain Biofeedback and The Farm’s proprietary Vital Dome. It was fascinating!!!  The Brain Biofeedback scan analyzes the electromagnetic fields produced by neural cells in our brain, identifying any potential imbalances that could be affecting sleep patterns. The Vital Dome, on the other hand, utilizes far-infrared technology – emulating the same benefits we get from sunlight
