My Ultrasound Story

By Teshna Beaulieu, DC |  Certified NET Practitioner 7 Maple Ave. Philmont, NY 12565 | 518-672-4019 |  teshnab@taconic.net Subject Covered by the Article: So many people have been affected by the loss of a Vanishing Twin. I have identified several categories describing the modus operandi of VTS survivors which can help someone clear all the ramifications caused by the trauma of losing a loved one so early in the human experience. Many times I have found that people have had the VTS come up in NET sessions relating to one or more of the aspects described below. However, I found that many aspects have3 not come up yet even though they may be affecting the person’s life. This is a way of exploring these aspects on purpose and clearing them independently of any other topic. Summary of the NET Procedure: This is a procedure containing many steps found useful to help a person feel better about themselves, freer to be who they are and have their needs met without fear of terrible consequences...
