Wrap Up & Go Home
All volunteers gather at our centralized meeting point before heading to the base. We depart together, following the Chayal’s Angels car to ensure the safety of everyone and prevent anyone from getting lost.
Each specialty is provided a dedicated space with the necessary equipment, creating a welcoming, temporary healing center for our soldiers. We enhance the atmosphere with candles, music, and a calming environment to help them relax before their treatments begin.
The base day leader introduces all volunteers, explains how the day will flow and what to expect, eliminating any surprises and allowing the soldiers to fully relax and trust the process.
​
After introductions, the base day leader conducts an individual intake with each soldier to help our practitioners know exactly what they need to work on, ensuring each soldier receives the most effective care.
Soldiers rotate through 20-minute sessions, receiving care tailored to their needs. Most soldiers receive 3-5 therapies during the day.
After a meaningful day, we take time to reflect on the impact of our work, integrate the day's experiences, and head home for some well-deserved rest.
