Frequently asked questions · Grey-Bruce
What to expect at your first session.
New to PEMF? You are very welcome here. Here is everything you need to know before your first session, in plain words.
Before you book
I'm feeling a little nervous about booking my first session. Is that normal?
A personal note from Cole: "Thank you for being honest. Reaching out to try something new takes courage, and feeling nervous before a first session is completely natural. My first question for you is always: what can I do to help you feel most comfortable? From the moment we start talking, you are in the driver's seat. I walk you through every step before we begin, you can pause or stop at any time, and you are always welcome to have a trusted friend or family member in the room with you."
Who are your sessions designed for?
All of our sessions are designed for adults (18+). You don't need any prior experience with sound baths or PEMF. All you need is a quiet corner where you can lie back and rest.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever you feel most relaxed in. Soft, loose layers like sweatpants, leggings, a comfortable t-shirt and warm socks are ideal. You remain fully clothed from head to toe for every service we offer.
Can I pause or stop a session once it starts?
Yes, immediately. If you ever want to adjust the warmth of the mat, take a break or end a session early, just say the word. Cole will adjust or stop right away, and you never have to explain why.
Can I have someone with me during my visit?
Absolutely. Because we come to your home, you are always welcome to have a partner, family member or support person sit quietly in the room with you during your session.
The session
What does a PEMF session feel like?
Gentle. Nothing on the mat shakes, buzzes or vibrates. You lie down fully clothed on the mat, which warms itself as the session starts; the magnetic pulses are silent and subtle, and you may notice the warmth of the mat or a light tingle as you settle in.
Who will be with me during my session?
Cole Smith runs every Field & Form session himself and stays with you the whole time.
How long should I set aside for a visit?
A full-body mat session is about 30 minutes on the mat (45-minute appointment slot); adding the targeted Pad or Spot gives you up to 25 additional minutes (75-minute appointment slot). The BioTuning add-on adds about 15 minutes.
Can two people have a session at the same time?
Yes. Split Mode runs two applicators at once, each with its own settings, so you and a partner or friend can have your sessions side by side. Two people at one address pay one travel amount.
What are BioTuning and Light & Sound?
Both are optional add-ons to any session. BioTuning ($25 plus HST, about 15 minutes): tuning forks rest lightly on the body or are held close, while binaural-beat audio plays through over-ear headphones. Light & Sound: goggles and headphones, eyes closed, with gentle coloured light and soft tones in rhythmic patterns. The light flickers, so Light & Sound isn't for anyone with epilepsy, a history of seizures, or sensitivity to flashing or flickering light. We ask before every session.
How do you prepare for my visit?
You will receive a courtesy reminder one week before your appointment and again on the day of your session. Cole brings the far-infrared PEMF mat, which warms itself as your session starts, over-ear headphones that are sanitized before every single guest, and, if you add Light & Sound, a fresh hygiene pad for the goggles.
Health and safety
Can PEMF help my condition?
Thanks for asking. Whether PEMF suits your situation is a question for your doctor, and please keep seeing them. We can't tell you whether it would help any condition. What we can tell you is what a session is like: you lie fully clothed on a mat while a coil in it makes a pulsed magnetic field, with the intensity set for your comfort. A few things rule it out, including pregnancy, epilepsy and electronic implants. Happy to answer anything about how sessions work.
What is the iMRS Prime licensed for in Canada, and who can't use it?
Unlike unregulated wellness gadgets, our iMRS Prime is a Health Canada-licensed Class II medical device (licence 114372). Its Canadian instructions for use list it to reduce the sensation of pain, to promote bone healing, for improved wound healing, and for improved peripheral microcirculation. Whether PEMF is right for your specific health situation is a conversation to have with your doctor. PEMF cannot be used by anyone who is pregnant, has epilepsy, or has an implanted electronic device (such as a pacemaker, insulin pump or cochlear implant). A few other conditions need a doctor's supervision first; the intake covers them. We go through a brief private intake form before your first session, and the screening questions again before every session.
I compete in a sport. Is PEMF allowed?
That's one for your sport's anti-doping contact or the CCES. Cole can't advise on it.
Do you offer sessions for animals?
Animal sessions open soon, for horses, cattle, dogs and other pets, directly and through vet partners. Your vet always leads your animal's care. The iMRS Prime is a Health Canada-licensed Class II medical device (licence 114372) for use by people; that licence doesn't cover animals. Join the list to hear first.
Where we work and what it costs
Where do sessions take place?
We come directly to you across Grey-Bruce. Mobile care means that when your session ends, you don't have to put on your coat and drive home: you are already in your own living room. Field & Form is also glad to work with local studios and practitioners on pop-up days; if you have a wellness space, Cole would love to connect.
What do sessions cost?
You will always know the exact total, including travel, before your booking is confirmed. Every price is on the Prices page, plus HST.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Life happens. If you need to move or cancel your appointment, just let us know as early as you can, especially before we hit the road for your home visit, and we will gladly find another time together.
Privacy
Do you ask health questions on the website, and how do you protect my privacy?
We never ask for medical details on our public website. Once we agree on a time for your first visit, we send you a short, private intake and consent form so we can make sure your session is right for you and tailored to you. We use your contact details strictly to reply to you and coordinate your visits, and we will delete your information whenever you ask. (Read our full Privacy Policy.)
Still wondering about something?
No question is too small. Bookings open soon: message us to join the list. Cole reads every message himself.
