From Weak to Strong: My Journey with Tone at Harmoni Wellness
A few weeks ago, I began an exciting new chapter in my wellness journey with Harmoni Wellness, co-founded by the compassionate and dedicated Ivy and Andrea. Their passion for individualized care drew me to their practice, where they truly listen and honor each person’s unique wellness story.
What is Tone?
Tone is an innovative, non-invasive solution designed specifically to increase muscle strength. Unlike traditional workouts, Tone uses Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to deliver electric pulses that contract the muscles. This is similar to the contractions you achieve during a workout, but with a significant difference—Tone delivers 288,000 impulses in just 30 minutes. The intensity is adjusted based on your comfort, ensuring a painless experience with zero downtime.
How Does Tone Work?
During a Tone session, two hands-free applicators emit direct electrical muscle stimulation, inducing involuntary muscle contractions. You will feel your muscles contracting, much like during a workout, but without the physical exertion. This treatment effectively targets specific muscle groups to refine and strengthen them. Whether you're looking to sculpt your abs, lift your butt, or tone your hips, Tone offers a customizable approach to achieve the desired definition without the gym.
My Experience with Tone
As a makeup artist and mother of two, finding time for self-care and fitness can be challenging. My practitioner, Ivy, at Harmoni Wellness, recommended focusing on my abdominal area to rebuild core strength and address diastasis recti—a common postpartum condition where abdominal muscles separate. The session was comfortable, with the applicators emitting rhythmic pulses that felt surprisingly natural.
Ivy’s expertise and warm demeanor made the experience enjoyable and reassuring. She and Andrea have created a supportive environment where personalized care is the norm. Their approach goes beyond mere treatment, aiming to uplift women dealing with complex or chronic health issues. They dream of seeing women thrive, feeling vibrant and well as their true selves.
What to Expect During a Tone Treatment
Most patients, including myself, find Tone to be a comfortable experience. You can expect the applicators to emit direct electrical muscle stimulation, causing your muscles to contract. The intensity is gradually adjusted to match your comfort level, ensuring an effective yet pleasant session. After the treatment, you might notice some redness and warmth in the treated area, but this subsides within a few hours.
How Safe is Tone?
Tone is a safe and effective procedure for anyone looking to enhance muscle tone without surgery. It’s ideal for targeting areas that need more definition and strength. The treatment is quick, typically completed within 30 minutes, and there’s no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately.
Post-Procedure Care
One of the best aspects of Tone is that there is zero downtime. You can schedule your treatment during your lunch break and return to your daily routine right after. The only post-procedure effect you might notice is temporary redness and warmth in the treated area, which disappears within a few hours.
Achieving My Goals with Tone
Tone at Harmoni Wellness has proven to be an effective and convenient solution for enhancing muscle strength and definition. As I continue my treatments, I look forward to seeing further improvements in my core strength and overall physique.
For us, the most important thing is seeing the individual in front of us and honoring what matters to them. Health, wellness, and a deep sense of well-being don’t look the same for everyone. The only goal and story that matters is from the person we are serving and supporting. We truly hope to offer care that is meaningful. To achieve this, we need to honor and respect our clients, take the time to truly listen, have honest conversations, and then offer options that are safe and evidenced-based. We hope we can be a foundation that elevates women who have been carrying the burden of complex, chronic, or confusing symptoms. Our dream is that women have optimal results and feel vibrant, well, and wonderful as their true selves.
