The ShiftWave Reset
One chair. Your whole system finally gets to land.
Most of us live in a steady hum of activation. The deadlines, the noise, everyone else's needs, a mind that keeps running long after the day is done. You can know you need to slow down and still be unable to get there on your own.
The ShiftWave chair gets you there. You recline in a zero-gravity position while eighteen pressure-wave drivers move through your body, paced to guided breathing and sound. The chair reads your heart rhythm and adapts in real time. Within minutes, your body begins to downshift, from the bottom up.
When your system never fully powers down
Most of us are running at a low hum we stopped noticing years ago. The body treats a full inbox, a hard conversation, and a late night the same way it once treated real danger, and it holds that readiness long after the moment has passed. It becomes the baseline. Rested feels unfamiliar.
That baseline shows up everywhere. Sleep that never goes deep. A short fuse with the people you love most. Shoulders and jaw that are always working. Food used to settle rather than to nourish. Decisions made from urgency instead of clarity. Even rest starts to feel like something you have to earn, so you keep going.
The part that surprises people is how much is running underneath all of that. The nervous system sets the tone for digestion, immune function, focus, mood, and how you read other people. When it stays on high, everything downstream pays for it, usually in ways you have learned to live with.
The ShiftWave chair works with that system directly. The body is given a signal it recognizes, and it begins to come down on its own. Breathing slows. The jaw lets go. The mind stops reaching. For many people it is the first time in a long while that they have felt what settled actually feels like, and once you know, you can find your way back to it.
People come in to reset after stress, travel, or a long stretch of pushing through. To get deep rest before a demanding week. To steady themselves before a big meeting, a performance, or a hard conversation. And to let the body integrate after emotional work, including EMDR.
Why here
Most people who come to me are capable and used to handling things. They are disciplined about everything except the one system that governs all of it. A nervous system that has lived on high for years starts making decisions for you: the automatic reaction in a hard conversation, the mental block in front of the thing you most want to do, the edge in your voice at home. The body has to be shown a different setting.
ShiftWave was engineered for exactly that. Eighteen transducers deliver pulsed pressure waves that activate the receptors feeding the vagus nerve, shifting the body from sympathetic drive toward parasympathetic recovery. As that load drops, the prefrontal cortex comes back online, the part of the brain responsible for judgment and deliberate choice. Elite athletes and military units use the same technology to recover and perform. Here it is used to think clearly and to help the body hold onto the work.
What makes it different here is who is in the room. I am an EMDRIA-Certified clinician with nearly two decades of trauma work. I choose your program for where you are that day, I stay in the room, and we use the rest of your session to make sense of what comes up. A private office with one clinician, no staff, and no waiting area.
The ShiftWave chair is a wellness device that supports relaxation and general wellbeing. A short health screening is part of booking.
Sessions with the ShiftWave Chair
The chair is available on request in a private session: ask when your session begins, and we'll close with a short program of up to 11 minutes. The four sessions below are built around it, with time set aside for the full experience. Outside an intensive, sessions that include EMDR are scheduled once a week.
1. The Reset
80 minutes · $250
For a mind and body that have been on high alert for too long. The chair brings your nervous system out of fight-or-flight in minutes, and then we use the rest of the session to understand what's been keeping you braced. You leave settled, and you take home how to get back there.
Book the Reset2. The Reset with EMDR
2 hours · $750
For the memory, reaction, or pattern you haven't been able to shake. EMDR, a proven trauma therapy, reaches what's stored below conscious thought and changes how it affects you. The chair then helps your body absorb the change, so you leave clear and steady.
Request This Session3. The Reset with Ketamine
80 minutes · $565
For when you know what needs to change but can't get past your own defenses. Ketamine quiets those defenses and opens room for a new way of seeing things. You rest in the chair while it takes effect, with Dr. Mcayla beside you to guide the work and make sense of it. Prescribed and monitored by her partnered physician, who bills separately.
Request This Session4. The Reset with EMDR and Ketamine
2 hours · $950
The deepest work available outside an intensive. Ketamine opens the door, EMDR does the work, and the chair helps your body hold the change. Prescribed and monitored by Dr. Mcayla's partnered physician, who bills separately.
