Reflexology

The art of Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy which facilitates and promotes the natural functioning and healing of the body. It will help to balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of your whole body. All organs, nerves, glands and every part of the body are connected to reflex areas on the feet, hands, ears and face. By stimulating these areas by pressure techniques and a form of massage can create a direct response in the related parts of the body. The body has the ability to heal itself. Our health and balance are constantly affected by many things in our lives and environment. Stress, illness or disease can cause a state of “imbalance” preventing our body from functioning effectively. If something is not functioning well this will affect the entire system.

Reflexology Body Talk Lymphatic drainage

I FEEL AWESOME I was born in southern Alberta, in a town called Magrath, and was raised on a farm in the same area. I can’t think of any other place I would rather be, southern Alberta has been my home all my life. As a young child I had more than my share of contacts with Doctors over various aches and pains and hurts which I felt were normal and predictable childhood illnesses. As a young teenager I felt that perhaps one day I would become a nurse, instead I got married. My husband and I have been happily married for over 45 years, we have raised 5 children and are currently enjoying 11 grandchildren. I have always been fascinated with the miracle which is the human body, so my interest in the medical profession did not diminish over the years. I found myself embroiled in everything and anything new that was related to nutrition and health. After a few years I became keenly aware that everything new simply became the latest fad or a quick fix - something was missing. Although I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, I knew I was searching for something I hadn’t found yet. Early in 2008 I attended my first BodyTalk presentation and within the first ½ hour I knew this was what I had waited for my whole life. I became certified as a BodyTalk practitioner in July of 2008. As of November 2011 I have been embracing the practice of BodyTalk at my office in Lethbridge Alberta.

Reflexology Reiki Bowen Therapy Massage

I strongly believe that all healing is self-healing and is an innate potential of every one of us. My role as facilitator is to support and positively influence this process of empowerment to become whole via self-care and complimentary therapies. My passion to explore and work with the human realm was ignited by my university studies in Psychology, followed by growing Organic food on Vancouver Island and working towards food security and healthy lifestyles. I then found myself ‘Home’ in Tofino’s ever-inspiring landscape, where I helped a friend run her budding health food store and plunged into a path of discovery of the human body, biofield, and spirit. Currently I practice Registered Reflexology RCRT, Certified Bowen Therapy CBT, Reiki, and Registered Aromatherapy EOT, with additional training in Lomilomi massage and Healing Touch.

Bio-Energy Practitioner

Bio-Energy Healing is a gentle, yet powerful healing modality. This form of treatment is totally natural with no medications, needles or machines involved. It requires very little touch and is fully safe to use on all conditions. Bio-Energy Healing can be very relaxing and enjoyable to receive; a real treat for your body, mind and spirit. During treatment, practitioners begin with a series of hand movements around the client to relax them, increase the flow of energy and bring blockages in their energy field to the surface. Once the blocks have been identified in the Bio-Field, the practitioner uses different Bio-Energy Healing techniques to release the blocks and re-establish the natural flow of energy. When the flow of energy is restored, the practitioner will balance and ground the client before completing the treatment. A majority of the treatment is given with the client in a standing position with a shorter portion in a seated position, or as the client requires. Qualified practitioners incorporate successful structures for treating a wide range of ailments. You will be pleased to know that using these structures ensures that all of our practitioners are capable of producing great results.

Holistic Doula and Bio-Energy Practitioner

Bio-Energy Healing is a holistic gentle non-invasive treatment that focuses on bringing the body back to balance and perfect health. There is no use of medicine or other invasive techniques in the treatment; it is a purely natural and very relaxing treatment. Bio-Energy Healing works with the bio-field/aura that exists in and around our physical body. When there is stress in our lives it can create stagnant or blocked energy in our bio-field, which then creates illnesses in our body, resulting in physical, emotional or mental pain. Bio-Energy Healing works with specialized hand techniques to remove the stagnant energy from the bio-field. When the energy is flowing freely through the bio-field the body returns to health and health is the body’s natural state. Emotional Cord Release - We create cords with different people when we meet, are in a relationship, family members and friends. Sometimes when a relationship ends, there is a family feud or argument between friends & these cords can cause a lot of pain both physically, spiritually and emotionally. When a cord cutting is done it can release that pain and also assist in a forgiveness process. The cord cutting allows us to reclaim our own energy and to move on with our life. Cord cutting is an amazing tool to help release any anger and resentment. It can be done if there has been a particular situation that caused pain or if there is a specific person that you wish to be released from emotionally and spiritually. Life Activation is a modality that helps clear any debris that has been passed down from up to 7 generations back. It can be various health concerns, fears or anxieties that have been passed down the lineage. This can be patterns of illnesses, ailments, poverty consciousness etc. Life activation can assist the body and soul in clearing and releasing this information that doesn’t serve the client any more. The treatment brings greater clarity, more energy and more peace to the client and allows more light to enter the physical body to help create more positive thought patterns. It can assist in allowing us to reach our true potential and to follow our calling. Removal of negative patterns Patterns are part of life and sometime we create them subconsciously which makes them challenging to release again. If we sometimes think negatively about others and maybe even curse at them, directly or indirectly, because they cut you off in traffic, behaved unfairly towards you or in other way caused you to become annoyed with them, that can turn into a negative pattern. We can also create negative patterns in ourselves by telling ourselves that we are not good enough, should have achieved a certain thing or shouldn’t have done this or that. When these negative patterns are first realized and then removed, we can once again feel free and have greater clarity in life. Flower remedies The remedies are used in most treatments to assist the healing of each client. Often times a bottle of flower essences will be given to the client to take for a few weeks to support the healing process.
