Flowpresso®
Therapy
“After my second session I felt like I had just been healed and restored. My body was in such a deep deep rest mode. It was a profound experience. After my third session it was as if my nervous system had been completely reset. Haven’t felt this much inner calm in a long long while.” Anne
Flowpresso® encourages the body to reach a new sense of normality and achieve optimal wellness by supporting the autonomic nervous system and restoring the body to a state of efficiency.
It is clinically proven to be effective in reducing fatigue, improving sleep, as well as reducing stress and anxiety symptomology. Flowpresso® is a low-risk natural therapy that can easily integrate into your health, medical and wellness approach.
FLOWpresso offers a unique, non-invasive stimulation and drainage therapy for the circulatory system. Used to enhance blood and lymphatic flow, to improve the cellular environment and promote relaxation and sleep management.
Simular to Deep Pressure Therapy, it allows the parasypathetic system to come online, bringing calmness and a sense of well-being. Research shows it also increases endorphin levels and release the "happy hormones" serotonin and dopamine.
Sleep is needed for immune system function and repair, metabolic balancing, glymphatic cleaning, emotional reactivity, mood regulation, effective cognitive functions, memory retention, and releasing trauma (Goldstein & Walker, 2014).
“I can’t remember the last time my body was physically this calm. Coupled with heat and blood flow, this relaxed aliveness is a very powerful experience.” Brady
What is the 3 - in - 1 therapy?
“I want so badly to leave a video review so you can see how incredibly excited I am by this service Julie offers! I truly feel it is LIFE CHANGING! I suffered through mold illness for years and have been around the block with treatments, vitamin/herb protocols, functional med dr’s, and more for the past 3 years! In ONE session with Julie, my nervous system felt so relaxed that I felt as though I had never been ill! It truly felt as though my parasympathetic nervous system response was activated as though I had finally passed through the birth canal (as a c-section baby). I wish I could experience this healing with Julie every single day. I am a reiki master, sound healer, and most call uptight about my health. I eat pure and clean. I have never experienced anything like what Julie offers. Run, don’t walk!!! This will change your life!”
The FLOW Experience
The FLOWpresso experience is like no other, and we want to explain to you what you can expect.
Receiving a FLOWPresso treatment feels like receiving many hugs; patients call it the hug-suit!
You are fully clothed at all times, and will be assisted by a trained technician who puts you into the suit. While lying horizontally, your feet, legs, abdomen and arms are enclosed by the suit. You’re given an eye mask to enhance the relaxing experience, which will last forty minutes so the suit can work it’s magic on you.
The three types of therapy are activated and you are left with all the benefits. The FLOWpresso experience is slightly different for every individual. While some say it helps them feel light and refreshed, others say it leaves them de-stressed, rested and more in-tune with their body.
Preventative health care is a practical way to help your health stay in tip-top shape. However, sometimes this falls between the cracks in our everyday lives, so we suggest you book a regular Flowpresso session to allow yourself the time to prioritise your health and ensure that you are utilising a preventative measure.
“I have few words to describe how I feel but I will try… I was the most calm and safe I have ever felt in my entire life. It was an amazing experience for me as I am quite the busy body and I felt my nervous system completely calm down. Maybe another word I could use is “zero point” of ourselves, which is our soul not our mind.” Mika

Flowpresso Turns Off The Fight or Flight Response
FLOWpresso helps patients on their healing journey in many ways, but a big one is getting them out of the fight or flight stress response.
Patients coming to Tolmao Wellness clinic and dealing with challenging health issues are frequently stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
The phrase “fight-or-flight” conveys our prehistoric ancestors’ choices when confronted with danger in their surroundings. They could either fight or flee. Both real and imaginary threats can trigger the fight-or-flight response.
The body and mind go into a heightened state of awareness to prepare the body to react quickly to danger. The body secretes stress hormones, slows digestion, and increases heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate—all necessary to preserve survival when being chased by a lion.
After the threat disappears, the body returns to normal and can recover from the stressful event.
In chronic diseases, however, we often find people stuck in the fight-or-flight response. They can’t relax, often have digestive issues, trouble sleeping, and a reduced ability to recover or heal.
Getting out of the fight or flight response and into one’s body’s relaxation and restoration mode is an essential step for full recovery.
In the Flowpresso experience, the nervous system moves into the Parasympathetic response innately. There is no trying to force relaxation; it happens by itself.
“It was pure peace.” Carole
Frequently asked questions
What do I do? What can I expect?
Lying horizontally and fully clothed, the state-of-the-art bodysuit gently wraps your limbs, abdomen and feet. An eye mask and headphones can be added for extra ambience.
Relaxation Mode is akin to receiving a gentle human hug; FLOWpresso® is a low-risk natural therapy that allows this process.
Sports Mode is akin to receiving a full body squeeze; allowing the body to recognize where it is holding tension. FLOWpresso® encourages you to release this tension and increase flow/detoxification in the body. This mode can empower you to reach new levels in creativity and output.
How does it feel?
As the session starts, you will feel a gentle squeezing sensation as the air chambers of the bodysuit inflate and deflate, moving from your feet towards your torso. This therapy encourages flow through your body by fostering a deep sense of tranquillity. During treatment, you may experience clarity, mindfulness and relaxation or fall asleep in your FLOWpresso® bubble.
How long does it last?
A session is a full hour, but you will only be in the bodysuit for 40 minutes. Throughout your personalized journey is a fully trained FLOWpresso® technician that will be guiding and assessing your needs, as well as adjusting programming so you can feel comfortable, safe and secure.
How will I feel after?
Immediately after a session, you will likely feel the positive well-being effects of feeling held and hugged. FLOWpresso® is unique, as it can target your body’s needs, whether that be through stimulation or detoxification. Each person will experience different outcomes and benefits. Post treatment some people are highly energized for hours while others may feel the need to rest. Each individual is unique and may react differently, but similar to other gentle detoxification therapies you may have an increase in bladder and/or bowel activity or a mild healing reaction as toxins exit through the natural pathways of the body.
How often can you can receive FLOWpresso® therapy?
As often as twice a week, but we recommended you have a break of three days in between each session.
What are some of the FLOWpresso® contraindications?
There are some conditions that FLOWpresso® is not suitable for:
1st Trimester Pregnancy
