Counselling

Individual and Family Counselling is practiced from the perspective of whole health. Specializing in helping people identify unhealthy thinking and behaviour patterns that cause them to repeat the same conflicts over and over. For all conflicts, there are ways to adjust the thinking and behaviours that perpetuate them.

Our Counsellor helps people improve communication and boundaries so relationships become easier and more enjoyable.

She also encourages people to find balance (body, mind, spirit) through teaching and practice. With balance, the healthiest version of yourself can rise to the surface.

• Children to encourage creativity, confidence and exploration.

Shiatsu, Acupuncture, Tuina, Moxa & Tai chi

Our Shiatsu specialist, Patricia Beretta, helps you address the root of your health concerns by integrating therapeutic techniques such as:

• Acupuncture
• Shiatsu
• Tuina (a form of massage taught to acupuncturists)
• Moxibustion (bringing heat on selected acu-points)
• Near Infrared lamp (soothing warmth that diffuses within the tissue under the skin of the treated area and stimulates cellular function and circulation)
• Tai chi
• Cupping (suction applied to a body part to move blockages).

The Japanese word “shi-atsu” means finger pressure. Gentle pressure and stretching are applied to specific musculoskeletal locations and traditional Eastern acu-points to increase flexibility, release tensions, and promote the flow of Chi.

Reflexology

Reflexology is the science or method of stimulating reflexes in the foot, hand or ear that correspond to each gland, organ, and part of the body. Modulation of these reflexes serves to normalize and treat the body to promote balance and relaxation.
