Acupuncture 60+

Acupuncture 60

The intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. The method by which this is accomplished, though it may seem strange and mysterious to many, has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be validated today. The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness hinges on concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance." Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy" within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels".

The acupuncturist is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these "meridians". Traditionally these areas or "acupoints" were stimulated by fine, slender needles. Today, many additional forms of stimulation are incorporated, including herbs, electricity, magnets and lasers. Still, the aim remains the same - adjust the "vital energy" so the proper amount reaches the proper place at the proper time. This helps your body heal itself.

This is a Naturo. & Chinese Medicine program. Clients may access 4 Naturo. & Chinese Medicine appointments per month, max 1/week.

Hypnotherapy 60+

Hypnotherapy 60

Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration during which a person becomes less aware of his or her surroundings. Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to treat physical or psychological conditions. Hypnotherapy is a recognized medical treatment in Canada. During a hypnotic state, or trance, people may be more likely to accept suggestions that can help change their behaviour. A therapist (hypnotherapist) can lead the hypnosis, or he or she can teach people to hypnotize themselves (self-hypnosis). You can also learn self-hypnosis from books. The hypnotherapist's goal is not to control a person or give the person answers but rather to help the person solve his or her own problems.

Reiki 60+

Reiki 60

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name consisting of two words Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy (commonly known as Universal Life Energy), an energy which animates us all and is found all around us. Reiki is a form of spiritual healing using "universal life energy" channeled through the practitioner to the recipient. Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you want to help. You relax, fully clothed, on a couch or seated while the healer holds his hands on or above you. A treatment can last 45 minutes or longer depending on the treatment required. In the western world many practitioners use the standard hand positions and commonly a full treatment is given covering all the important organs of the body. There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!

Zen Shiatsu 75

Zen Shiatsu treatments are designed to help balance and heal irregularities in the recipient's energy system (the vital force, or ch'i), to promote wellness of body, mind, and spirit. If imbalances, such as blockage or depletion, are not treated they may eventually become chronic manifesting as fatigue, pain, injury, or disease.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Healing Life Through Crystals 60+

Healing Life Through Crystals 60

Crystals have been used for millennia to heal and balance. Most crystals contain minerals that known for their therapeutic properties.

Crystals work through resonance and vibration, rebalancing and biomagnetic sheath (aura) that surrounds and interpenetrates our physical body and activates linkage points to our chakras (energy centres) that regulate our body's vibratory stasis. By balancing the chakras, many states of physical and psychological dis-ease can be ameliorated.

Sessions will be approximately 60 mins. There will be a brief consultation and then you'll select 7 crystals for a personalized layout. You'll lie down, relax and be facilitated through your own journey with crystals. Grounding and chakra balancing will conclude the session.

**All crystals used are purified and energized with sea salt prior to every session.

Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you want to help. You relax, fully clothed, on a couch or seated while the healer holds his hands on or above you. A treatment can last 45 minutes or longer depending on the treatment required. In the western world many practitioners use the standard hand positions and commonly a full treatment is given covering all the important organs of the body. There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!

'The Work' one-on-one session 45+

'The Work' one-on-one session 45

The Work (45 mins) by Byron Katie is a simple yet profoundly powerful process of self-inquiry. By learning to identify our own stressful thoughts and limiting beliefs, and questioning them with 4 questions and turnarounds, we are able to find the clarity and space for peace, joy, and clear course of action.

Anyone with and open and honest mind can do it. For thousands of years we’ve been told not to judge, but we still do it all the time—how our friends should act, whom our children should care about, what our parents should feel, do, or say. In The Work, rather than suppress these judgments, we use them as starting points for self-realization. By letting the judging mind have its life on paper, we discover through the mirror of those around us what we haven’t yet realized about ourselves.

Healing Life Through Energy 75

HEALING LIFE THRU ENERGY (+ Reiki)

 Your 75 min. session will consist of a Healing Touch technique designed to balance the 7 major, and countless minor Chakras of the body. Depending on your individual needs, Scott may intuitively offer the use of healing crystals or alternative techniques. There is light-touch involved in this session. You will relax, fully clothed, on a massage table for its duration. Soft music will usually accompany your session.

**Anyone un-comfortable with touch can request a Reiki session instead.

HEALING TOUCH…is a biofield therapy that is an energy-based approach to health and healing. It uses touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body (Aura), and the energy centers (Chakras) that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body.

 These non-invasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing. It is based on a heart-centered caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client’s health and healing.

The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance within the energy system, placing the client in a position to self-heal.

REIKI …two Japanese words Rei & Ki meaning “spiritually guided life energy” (commonly referred to as Universal Life Energy).

Reiki is a form of spiritual healing using “Universal life energy” channeled through an attuned practitioner to the recipient. Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.

During your session you’ll relax, fully clothed, on a massage table while the facilitator holds his/her hands on or above you. A treatment consists of traditional hand placements designed to balance the body’s Chakras and will last approx. 1 hour. Reiki involves no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating ALL ages, health conditions, and those who may be uncomfortable with physical contact.

Reiki energy flows where it’s most required within an individual’s system (facilitator has no influence) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling throughout the body. Receiving Reiki is a very gentle, relaxing, soothing, and non-invasive experience.

Acupuncture 45+

Acupuncture 45

The intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. The method by which this is accomplished, though it may seem strange and mysterious to many, has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be validated today. The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness hinges on concepts of "vital energy", "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance". Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy" within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels".

The acupuncturist is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these "meridians". Traditionally these areas or "acupoints" were stimulated by fine, slender needles. Today, many additional forms of stimulation are incorporated, including herbs, electricity, magnets and lasers. Still, the aim remains the same—adjust the "vital energy" so the proper amount reaches the proper place at the proper time. This helps your body heal itself.

This is a Naturo. & Chinese Medicine program. Clients may access 4 Naturo. & Chinese Medicine appointments per month, max 1/week.

Zen Shiatsu 60+

Zen Shiatsu 60

The word Shiatsu literally means finger (shi) pressure (atsu). Invented by Shizuto Masunaga, Zen Shiatsu is rooted in the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element Theory and is a modernized form of the ancient art of acupressure or "acupuncture without needles"; it is used to stimulate the body's innate healing mechanisms.

Zen Shiatsu (60 Mins) combines stretches, joint rotations and gentle pressure to stimulate, sedate, and unblock disrupted energy. Zen Shiatsu also stimulates the circulatory, lymphatic, hormonal, neuromuscular, musculo-skeletal, respiratory, digestive, and autonomic nervous systems. Zen Shiatsu done on a regular and consistent basis can also strengthen the immune system and allows the body to shift into balance and addresses the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
