Vibrational therapy using a power plate is a novel and unique way to activate the body’s natural reflexive response, engaging the muscles in a consistent and controlled manner. The vibration helps mobilize lymph and blood so that toxins are removed more easily from the extracellular space, and normal flow can be achieved. Additionally, the activation of more muscle fibers helps to increase muscle and bone strength. You will find a therapy session very invigorating, and your energy will be better due to the restoration of blood and lymph flow allows for more oxygen to reach your deep tissues.
Vibrational therapy is excellent to do right after you have completed red light therapy or a red light sauna for weight reduction. The red light helps liquify the fat/cellulite, and then the vibration plate with a 15 minute exercise routine helps to degrade the fat leading to weight loss.

Please speak with Dr. Marra about whether or not this therapy would be beneficial to you.
Spectra red light bed is a medical grade light therapy technology that utilizes a variety of different wavelengths between 415-660nm in the visible blue, green, amber, and red spectrum, and near infrared wavelengths ranging from 810-980nm. Thermal wavelengths are 910-980nm.
Both the 660-680 and 810-880 nm wavelengths interact with the fourth complex of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. This complex contains an enzyme (Cytochrome C oxidase) that functions as a chromophore (light gathering) because it contains a copper molecule, and transmutes light energy into ATP, the energy used in the human body. Additionally, nitric oxide (NO) is produced which increases blood flow and oxygenation to tissues.
Usually red light bed sessions are 20 minutes for each side (front and back), but with Spectra red light therapy which is medical grade, the session time is reduced to 12-16 minutes total, because the apparatus is so much more efficient.
Dr. Marra will personalize your light therapy sessions so that you can achieve the most beneficial results in the shortest amount of time. The benefits of red light bed therapy include:
increased ATP production
increased cellular energy
increased vasodilation from increased nitric oxide release
increased blood flow
increased lymphatic drainage
increased tissue oxygenation
decreased inflammation
decreased neuroinflammation
stimulates tissue growth and repair
stimulates new brain synapse connections
stimulates neuroplasticity and neuroregeneration
promotes better sleep
Contraindications for the red light bed are:
active cancer
pregnancy
epilepsy
active skin infections
photosensitivity
Pricing:
Single session $60 for no more than 16 minutes
10 sessions $540
20 sessions $1080
30 sessions $1620

The Neuroradiant 1070 is a red light helmet that was designed to deliver 1070 nm of red light in various pulse rates, intensity, and duration to the skull to optimize brain functions such as:
Memory – creation, storage, and recall
Complexity of of abstract thoughts
Rejuvenating sleep
Improve neurocognitive performance
Improve skeletomuscular performances
Improve mood
Reduce depression and anxiety
Improve PTSD
Improve coordination of fine motor muscles in hands and feet
Improves executive function
After completing a Cognivue assessment of your brain function, Dr. Marra will tailor a treatment plan for the Neuroradiant 1070 that is specifically designed for you. You may need to start slowly and at a reduced duration until your brain adapts to the incoming red light sessions. There is a need for this therapy for all aging people who want to maintain an active healthy brain well into their 80s and 90s.
There is a CLEAR therapeutic window for ALL red light wavelengths but especially that which is delivered to the brain so doing too little will have NO effect, but doing too much, could have a detrimental effect. Starting low and going slow is the best way to proceed with red light therapy delivered directly to the brain.
The firefly photobiomodulation technology is FDA approved as a general wellness product. The device is a multi-spectrum therapy that delivers packets of light called photons. These photons break up inflammation by dilating blood and lymphatic vessels, therefore increasing the release of nitric oxide (NO). Increased circulation helps to remove the toxins produced by inflammation thereby decreasing pain and accelerating healing and repair of damaged tissues.
Near infrared light works at the cellular level by a process known as photobiomodulation. Light packets (photons) stimulate cytochrome c oxidase which is the third part of the electron transport chain inside a cell’s mitochondria. The mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the cell generating the ATP molecule which is used for energy by all of the cells. This facilitates all cellular activities including metabolism, detoxification, immune function, and a host of other properties. Local application of the photons emitted by the firefly machine can aid in achieving better well being and overall health, especially in aging populations.
Firefly technology has over 20 years of research and is used to help alleviate the discomfort associated with the following conditions:
Autoimmune disorders
Alzheimer disease
Back Pain
Bell’s Palsy
Carpel tunnel syndrome
Diabetes complications
Fungal infections
Gut issues and parasites
IBS
Menstrual cramps
Neuropathies
Osteoarthritis
Parkinson disease
Plantar fasciitis
Traumatic brain injury
Stroke
Wound Healing
Asthma
COPD
IBS
Leaky gut
CONTRAINDICATIONS for firefly use include:
Pregnancy
Eyes (must wear protective glasses)
Cancer
Infections
Retinal damage in diabetes
The cost for firefly treatment with Dr. Marra is as follows:
(1) 10 minute session – $45.00 per one body area
(10) 10 minute sessions – $410.00
(20) 10 minutes sessions – $820.00
(30) 10 minute sessions – $1,230.00
(50) 10 minute sessions – $1,640.00
These sessions CANNOT be performed on the same part of the body more than every other day to allow the body to use the photons to help heal the injury on the off days. Please drink plenty of water before, during and after a therapy session. Dr. Marra will assess how well you are healing to give you an idea of how many sessions will be required as well.
You MUST wear protective red light glasses during ANY therapeutic session to protect your eyes from potentially harmful red light in your eyes.

Youthful skin contains abundant collagen and works deep within the layers of skin to promote strong architecture. With age and overtime, the body produces less collagen, especially if excessively exposed to sunlight. This medical grade device stimulates collagen production and reduces fine lines and wrinkles on the face. This device contains three treatment modes that last 3 minutes and should be done daily for the best results.
All Red Mode
helps increase the natural production of collagen
helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles
evens out skin texture and tone
helps minimize appearance of sun spots and age spots
All Blue Mode
destroys acne causing bacteria
improves congested skin that is acne prone
calms red and inflammation on the face
Blue and Red Mode
all antiaging and anti-acne lights working together to make skin look like it has a healthy glow
It is advised that you wear red light protective eye glasses when using this mask to protect your eyes from any harmful red light.
Cognivue is an FDA approved proprietary technology and digital cognitive screening device that is self administered, and a state of the art cognitive assessment that removes any assessment bias through standardizing the patient’s testing experience through dynamic testing. The unique 10 minute testing weaves the client through a series of exercises to assess the neurological domains of:
Letter memory
Letter perception
Motion memory
Motion perception
Motor skills
Shape memory
Shape perception
Visual acuity
Word memory
Word perception
Clients use a joystick or cogniwheel which is intuitive and self explanatory to easily select an answer to the test. This test assesses early cognitive decline so that lifestyle, diet and exercises changes can be implemented to quickly change the trajectory of brain function decline. Currently, there are over 55 million people diagnosed with dementia and this number is expected to double every 20 years globally. Accurate, client centered cognitive assessments are needed to match the oncoming need for baby boomer healthcare, and Cognivue is perfectly positioned to help them discover any cognitive deficits BEFORE they become a problem and disease progresses.
Dr. Marra is trained as a ReCode practitioner and will gladly help you understand your test results. She is committed to healthy brain practices and to reversing cognitive decline by lifestyle, diet and exercise interventions. Also the investment in a ping pong table may be the single most important activity that you can add to your existing daily routine to slow aging of the brain.
