T.A.E.L.R.: The $50 Add-On Clients Keep Asking About

Most first-time clients notice the small case I carry in with the mat and the fresh linens. Eventually somebody asks about it. The case holds my SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R.™ kit. The letters stand for Tool-Assisted Energy Line Release, it costs $50 on top of any session, and it has quietly become the most asked-about thing I bring into living rooms from Spring Hill to Wesley Chapel.

Since somebody always asks, here is the full answer, longer than the one I can give mid-session.

What’s in the Case

Three tools, each with one job.

The microcurrent probe is a small handheld unit I touch to specific points along the body’s pathways. The current is gentle. Most clients report a faint tingle. A few feel nothing at all and ask me whether it’s switched on. Nothing breaks the skin, nothing hurts, and each point only takes a moment.

The light lamp is exactly what the name says: a lamp I position over an area while I work. The sensation is warmth, roughly what the back porch feels like at nine in the morning before Florida gets serious about the day. Clients tend to go quiet under it.

The magnetic ear pellets are the part people talk about afterward. Tiny pellets, placed on specific points of the ear, and you wear them home. The session ends, I pack up the mat, and the pellets stay on the job. More than one client has texted me days later asking where to get more.

Same Map, Different Instruments

Everything I do follows the sen lines, the traditional Thai map of the body’s pathways. In the hands-on work I follow them with palms, thumbs, forearms, sometimes feet. If you want the long version, I wrote about the sen line system separately.

T.A.E.L.R. follows the exact same map. The method is called Homeopressure: point work along the sen lines, done with tools instead of thumbs. Probe on the point, light over the line, pellets holding points on the ear after I drive off. It comes through the SomaVeda® system I trained in under Grand Master Ajahn Dr. Anthony B. James, the same lineage as the rest of my work, carrying the Old Medicine Hospital tradition of Chiang Mai. This is not a gadget bolted onto the menu because gadgets sell. It is the same work with a finer point on it.

What It Feels Like, and Who Says Yes

Subtle is the honest word. The hands-on portion of a session is physical: assisted yoga stretching, rhythmic compression, sustained pressure along the lines. T.A.E.L.R. is quieter. Clients usually describe warmth or a light tingle. Some settle a layer deeper into relaxation while it happens. Some doze. I take that as a review.

A few patterns show up from the driver’s seat. Desk workers who carry their whole week in their neck and shoulders tend to like the probe work. Clients partway through the 7-Session Protocol often add it to deepen the series. And the ear pellets win over anyone who hates that a good session has to end, because a piece of it goes home on their ear. Veterans and first responders get 30% off everything, and everything includes this.

If you try it once, feel nothing, and shrug, that is fine too. The hands-on work stands on its own. The add-on is an option, not a toll booth.

The Price, and Some Plain Talk

The math stays simple across the whole menu: $50 on top of whatever session you book, whether that is a single 60-minute visit at $135 or any stop inside a series. If you are brand new, the first visit is $90 all-in, which covers the assessment, the discovery conversation, general hands-on balancing, and your annual membership.

About that membership. Everything I do runs through the Native American Indigenous Church ministry I serve under; these services are religious therapeutics offered to members. Every client joins at $14.95 a year, per person. Not a loyalty program, just how the ministry works.

And one thing I will keep saying as long as I do this work: I am not your doctor. If something is going on with your health, that conversation belongs with your physician, not with me. My lane is tension, stress, and the general project of helping a body feel less worn down.

I bring the mat, the linens, and the case; your part is still just about seven by five feet of floor. When you book your session, ask for the T.A.E.L.R. add-on and the case comes in with everything else.
