Access Bars® are 32 points on the head where the brain stores the electromagnetic imprints of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and patterns. When lightly touched, these points begin to release stored limitations—creating space for more ease, clarity, and new possibilities. This gentle yet powerful process can help reduce stress, pain, and trauma while promoting a greater sense of well-being. Developed by Gary M. Douglas in 1990, Access Bars® offers a simple, hands-on approach to shifting your mindset and transforming your life.

Sessions are typically done while you relax on a massage table or recline in a zero-gravity chair, fully clothed. Only the head, hands, and (optionally) feet are touched. It’s common for body temperature to shift during the session. A table warmer and blankets are available should you want them. Sessions usually last 45 to 60 minutes, though shorter introductory sessions can be done in as little as 20 minutes.

Since this process activates brain synapses and releases stored energy, your body may crave more salt, sugar, or water afterward—so listen to what it needs.

One of the best things about Access Bars® is that it can be done almost anywhere! Whether in a quiet studio, a hospital, a park, an office, or even an airport, outside noise and distractions won’t interfere with the session. It’s a flexible, accessible modality for anyone looking to shift their energy and transform their life.
