Therapeutic Reflexology is a non-invasive, holistic therapy that deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands, ears and body, wherein all the body structures are mirrored. The reflexes are stimulated by using the thumbs and fingers and it helps the body to maintain physiological balance and health, working towards normalization of function. Your reflexologist will help you identify risk factors and make recommendations to help you optimize your physical, mental and emotional environment.

When receiving treatment, the client lies on a table or sits in a reclining chair. The reflexologist applies thumb or finger pressure to each foot (or hand). Certain areas may feel more sensitive than others. The tenderness often decreases as the practitioner works the feet and the client begins to relax. The more often you receive reflexology, the more benefits you are likely to notice. You may also become more aware of how it feels to be truly relaxed, which can help you to recognize areas of tension in the body.

By nourishing your mental and physical vitality, reflexology can help to normalise the body’s functions. Regular treatments help alleviate stress and tension as well as assist healthy nerve functioning and circulation throughout the body. Whether you have chronic or acute health problems or you are simply looking for a way to reduce tension and promote wellbeing, reflexology may be the answer to an improved and long-lasting healthy life.

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Force Energy”. Reiki is a healing technique that was developed by the Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, in 1922. It is used all over the world by people of many different faiths, cultures, and spiritual paths.

Reiki is an energy healing modality, where the practitioner acts as a conduit for universal energy, in order to rebalance and clear blockages in the chakras, or energy centers.

Reiki uses “hands-on” and also “hands-off” healing, that can assist in relieving or reducing pain and discomfort by balancing the body’s energy centers, or chakras. It is a natural process that supports relaxation and healing by removing blocks to the flow of energy in your body, facilitating balance and support on all levels. When the energy flow in your body is restored and/or balanced, you are more likely to feel relaxed and your body’s natural healing abilities are utilized.

This non-invasive, completely benign healing technique is becoming more and more popular. Reiki is an important addition to your daily life! Try a session today!

SIT Healing - in person and virtual healing sessions. Are you tired of feeling low energy? Feeling like you can’t let go of self sabotaging behaviors? Are you suffering from unresolved trauma? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing has worked for your chronic pain? Do you have generational trauma that has been causing chronic stress? Are your relationships strained? Do you have obsessive behaviours? Are you using unhealthy protection/coping mechanisms like over consumption (of anything)?

If you are feeling like there is something holding you back or weighing you down in this life but you can’t seem to put your finger on it? SIT can help find those unconscious beliefs and unresolved emotions/trauma and transform them into healing. So…

What is Subconscious Imprinting Technique? SIT is a healing modality that finds unresolved emotions, experiences, stress, and trauma in the body and then uses the science of forgiveness to release the symptoms, conflicts, or beliefs that were created
unconsciously along the way that can have the potential to manifest into illness, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and difficult relationships. With your own conscious foundation of creating the highest quality of life for yourself we will use affirmations to elevate your subconscious mind towards profound and empowering relief, resulting in permanent positive changes.
