Energy work and manual therapy to
CREATE BALANCE.
For centuries, the art of healing was grounded in the principle of working with the whole person and acknowledging the connection between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ones self.
With the rise of modern medicine, there came a shift in the way health was viewed. The physical aspect could be defined, diagnosed, treated and even predicted with amazing accuracy. Healthcare became good for the economy as prescriptions and procedures were suddenly the way to deal with anything from the smallest sniffle to the complications of cancer and heart disease. Modern medicine is saving lives, is improving the quality of life for so many, and is giving hope and healing to those affected by trauma and disease. What an amazing time to be alive!
And we keep learning....
A new awareness is growing in the way we look at ourselves and the world around us. We are beginning to understand what our ancestors were doing. We are relearning what was once passed down from one generation to the next....We are finding the connections between the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves; and that what we need is balance. Balance that comes from deep within and reaches out to connect with everything around us.
I have built my career around my personal journey toward that balance; my quest for whole healing, not only for myself, but for anyone whose life I touch in any way.

What is energy work?
Every living cell carries and emits electromagnetic energy - a frequency. And seeing as energy cannot be created or destroyed, it must be transformed or transferred in order to keep flowing. Energy is a vibration, and when it stops and becomes stagnant in our bodies, or slows and becomes sluggish; disruption of body systems occurs, resulting in pain and/or disease. Working with your bodies energy pathways to clear blockages and balance the energy flow, the body can heal itself, the way it was meant to. For me, every treatment involves working with those subtle energies, no matter what techniques I am using.
What I Offer
Every individual has different needs and personal preferences for the ideal treatment. I am not registered, but I am trained and experienced in a variety of modalities (see below) and believe the best results are achieved with a combination of techniques to support your unique health and wellness goals. This allows you to either book a specific treatment, or you can book a set length of time and we will create a custom treatment that works for you. Consultation is free and the time spent planning the treatment is not subtracted from the treatment time.
Therapeutic Massa​ge
Firm, gliding strokes and gentle stretching brings oxygen and nutrients to sore, tired muscles. Using a combination of techniques and pressures, it restores balance between body systems and re-enforces energy pathways. Gentler pressure stimulates blood flow and lymphatic movement, as well as calming the nervous system, while deeper work releases tension and increases range of motion. Your choice of 60, 75 or 90 min treatment.
Indian Head Massage
A practice that is over 2000 years old, traditional Indian Head Massage combines herb and spice infused oil with gentle fingertip pressure on the scalp and face, as well as light to medium pressure on the neck and shoulders to relax mind and body, reset the vagus nerve, and renew and re balance energy levels. This makes it an excellent treatment for anxiety, depression, insomnia and headaches. One hour treatment.
Sports Massage
This is a shorter treatment that is tailored to a specific area of concern. I utilize facilitated stretching, friction work and trigger point therapy techniques to release muscle tension and assist the body's natural injury recovery process. Movements are faster, and meant to gently stimulate the nervous system rather than relax it. This treatment is 30-45 minutes.
Reflexology
Reflexology
Dating back thousands of years in both Egypt and China, reflexology utilizes massage as well as gentle thumb and finger pressure techniques on feet, hands, or head to locate the energy blockages and to bring balance by stimulating or relaxing the corresponding organs and systems in the body. This is a 60 minute treatment, and your choice of feet, hands or head.
Congratulations! Building a human is hard work! New aches and pains with each new phase and each milestone is unique and sacred. Relax in a nest of bolsters and pillows on a table that lifts and bends to your ideal comfort. Enjoy full body pampering or address specific areas of concern. Recommended treatment length for full body is 60 minutes, 45 minutes for upper body only, or 30 min for hips, legs and feet.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese healing method that is gentle and non invasive. It aims to balance the body's energy fields, promote relaxation and stimulate the natural healing process. Reiki work can be incorporated into any manual treatment at no extra charge, or booked as a stand alone service. Recommended length for stand alone is 60 minutes.

Lymphatic Drainage Add-On
While our circulatory system deli​vers oxygen and nutrients to our organs and tissue, our lymphatic system works right alongside to collect toxins and other cellular waste and bring it back to the lymph nodes where white blood cells trap and destroy any harmful particles. Much like the blood in our arteries and veins, the lymphatic fluid must keep moving. If it stops, swelling and discomfort may occur, and our immune system becomes compromised.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle and non invasive treatment that helps to restore the flow of the lymphatic fluid. It supports your immune system by encouraging the natural elimination of toxins, bacteria and fatty acids.
I use a combination of dry brushing, circulatory massage and essential oils to clear blockages and balance fluid levels in your body. This is a 30 minute add on to any treatment of your choice, and adds $40 to your cost. The dry brush is yours to keep.

Connect with Nature
These are no charge enhancements to your session. They are not meant to replace medical treatments or prescriptions, but rather to enhance the way your body responds while gently minimizing their side effects. Please ask about any that interest you.
Hot or Cold Stones
Hot or Cold Stones
Take a sensory journey with the addition of Basalt, white Marble or Jade stones; heated or cooled to your preference. Cool stones reduce inflammation and leave you feeling refreshed and energized; warm stones relax muscle tissue and nerve endings and aid in the removal of toxins. Used in contrast, alternating warm and cool, they become a powerhouse for stimulating lymphatic drainage and optimizing blood circulation.
There is no additional charge for this, however it must be discussed at the time of booking as it takes time to heat or cool the stones.`
Crystals
Crystals
Crystals are a specialized way to help influence and direct the flow of the electromagnetic energy that is both in us and all around us. The shape, colour and physical composition of each crystal determines its specific vibration. Placed on, or around the body, or used as a massage tool; they interact with our body's own frequencies to correct imbalances and restore a natural flow.
There is no extra charge for this addition.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy
We all know the profound impact that smell has on our brains. We can immediately bring to mind the smell of the sea, a mountain meadow or a campfire. We understand the effect they have on our emotions as well.... the smell of bread baking in the oven stirs a completely different reaction than the smell of a fire in the kitchen; while the smell of the perfume of someone we miss is much more complicated than that.
The beauty of aromatherapy is that it is not just about smell. Essential oils are the life force, or "energy" of the plant. Because each plant has a unique eletromagnetic vibration as well. A carrier oil is designed to carry this energy into your muscle tissue and bloodstream. When essential oils are mixed with a carrier oil and massaged onto the body, it delivers this energy right to the source of the discomfort. The energy affects the cells themselves, in addition to the smell acting on your nervous system and emotional response system.
There is no additional charge for this, and a "sensitivity test" will be performed on a small area before topical use.
