When looking for an uplift, making ‘table time’ for natural therapies is one of the best resources to rejuvenate body and mind. Taking time to feel better can breathe new life into your day! Experiencing the refreshing effects of being on the table was my incentive to become a registered massage therapist. It was also the most effective therapy I tried for pain relief with scoliosis and over the years, has additionally slowed the progress of this spinal condition. My therapy practice soon expanded into related natural therapies for a broader holistic approach. If interested, you can learn about my health care experience by clicking here.
This website contains information below about the natural therapies I work with, and aspects of health divided into the four categories of Body health, Preventive, Nutrition and Awareness – to simplify the concept of whole-body-health. Whatever finds you at this site, you are welcomed!

MASSAGE THERAPY - Proven effectiveness of massage therapy for release of stress, chronic pain or to accelerate healing of injury and other conditions, finds it in high demand today. Techniques, depth and time should always be adjusted for age, health and preference. Registered massage therapists are highly trained in Canada’s full-time 2-year program to work with the body’s soft tissues, influencing both structure and wellbeing. By softening muscular tissue, the strain on bone is released, easing skeletal conditions like scoliosis and osteoarthritis. Massage therapy influences all systems by affecting our circulatory and nervous systems for overall body-mind improvement. My ‘frequently asked questions’ answer’s inquiries for those who are unfamiliar with therapeutic massage.
POLARITY THERAPY – This therapy addresses the physical body and its energy fields, chakras and patterns, integrating them to an optimal balance. Polarity therapy is done over your clothing, with depth of touch varying from slightly deeper work to soften tissue, to light touch energy balances. The results can be remarkable for deep relaxation and fresh insight.
INTEGRATED THERAPIES - draws on a combination of natural therapies that may including some massage therapy and reflexology or massage with Reiki techniques. The goal is to use whatever combo will best realize your intent
AROMATHERAPY - combines massage with the power of essential oils. As the essence of flowers, herbs or trees, these therapeutic additions can enhance the session and the outcome of your experience.
REIKI - this hands-on energy therapy targets improved balance for our body-mind-spirt composite. It assists all systems for improved function and rejuvenation. Reiki is often combined with a massage or aromatherapy session.
REFLEXOLOGY primarily works with our feet, which are gateways to our entire system…. physically and energetically. A safe and effective therapy for all ages, it helps to normalize body function, leaving you refreshed and feeling lighter. Due to its systemic effect, it also benefits various conditions, especially fibromyalgia. Reflexology can be the ideal therapy for those who are not comfortable with massage.
CRANIOSACRAL - as a light-touch therapy that reads the rhythm of a fluid system in the cranium and spinal cord, craniosacral therapy (CST) is highly relaxing and effective for headaches, chronic pain, post-accident trauma or for a deeply mellow state. This therapy assists the body to re-balance its functional patterns. Craniosacral therapy has at times been very beneficial for injury cases that are difficult to resolve with physical therapy alone.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE - this gentle therapy targets increased function of our lymphatic system that may be sluggish or challenged from waste buildup. It also enhances parasympathetic nervous function to promote a relaxed state of wellbeing.
MASSAGE or POLARITY? - this examines ‘which is deeper’ … massage or energy therapy, providing heighten appreciation of the power of energy and awareness of illusion.
Whole Body Health ~
Mindfulness and health go hand-in-hand with the body-mind-spirit concept of holistic living. Everyone’s goal is to have zest and enthusiasm in their life and that begins with a little self-care. The value of experiencing natural therapies with some type of regularity is to reinforce feeling good. This enables us to notice imbalance at early onset, allowing us to change something before things worsen. Good health that retains the zest for life is easier to fully address when considered within four main categories:
- Body health - my health journal articles include topics on exercise, organ health, sabotaging the body, and choices to maintain good hygiene on the inside and out.
- Preventive care articles cover info on easy detox options, natural pain management, natural immune system enhancers and home remedies
- Nutrition - supplies the building blocks of a strong form. Health Journal topics includes organic food considerations, pesticides on food, fruit washes, vitamins and mineral deficiencies, digestive system health and things that impair its function
- Awareness helps to sustain balance. It blends life with spirit by respecting that “spirit is matter at its highest point, and matter is spirit at its lowest”. Awareness includes cultivating all areas that contribute balance to our life.
