Tips Tuesday – What are you investing in?

breaking-news-blog

 

Many things floated through my mind about what to write about in this weeks Blogg, and I realized all the themes were linked, as everything is.  It all flows back to, ‘What Are You Investing In?’.

I know longer have cable.  I have not watched the news in a very long time.  I always find out what is going on.  Always.  I won’t bore you with why I do not watch it other then to say, I do not feel it’s accurate and it leans too often to the negative.  What happens when any of us lean too far, too often, to the negative?  We perpetuate more negativity.  I personally do NOT want to invest that way.  I do not want ‘interest’ on my negative thoughts or feelings.

I have seen and heard of many sad events happening lately close to me and not so close.  Watching a young woman be verbally, emotionally and physically abused for falling in love with a boy not of her culture and religion, by her own family.  This isn’t the first time, I’ve seen it and heard of this before.  In varying degrees of extremity and aggression.  Hearing how a rapist is protected and supported by the courts, a woman left to spend her life recovering.  Watching a man of authority inflict fear, pain and manipulation to sexually and physically assault women and walk away with very little if any repercussion.  Watching human beings cut down during a seemingly typical fun Saturday night, for no other reason but for their sexual connotation.  But this isn’t new, this is old news, this has become common place like a disease, we like to think it’s just in a neighboring country but it’s here, as I mentioned with the earlier example, it’s in our town, our schools, our homes, our heads.

Typically many will start pointing fingers at an extremist group, a religion, a culture, a race.  But it is far more sinister yet far more basic then that.  It can be summed up in just a few words.  Intolerance, ignorance, hate, fear.  It was found in Cristopher Columbus when he raped and pillaged the peaceful native people he found when he discover the new land, it has been in every war in the name of religion or for power, ever domestic dispute, every random act of violence from stealing a purse to rape to murder.  It simply has different faces.  But it’s all the same underneath so why hate the face?  Stop looking at the surface, it’s underneath you too, in the swearing at the diver who cut you off to the gossip you tell behind a coworkers back to the bullying on the play ground, to the mental abuse you put yourself through every time you tell yourself yours stupid, incapable, fat, ugly, worthless and on and on and on….

daily news1

What Are You Investing In?  Do you choose to add to your own negativity with layers of invested energy focusing on self inflicted crippling thoughts and emotional scars?  Do you watch negative shows and news only to spread the news, and feed the fearful sensationalism propaganda?  Are you someone who turns a blind eye to a neighbor, child, spouse, parent doing something you know is wrong and allow it to build until one or many are hurt?  How do you begin to reign in the violence? Start with your own actions thoughts and behaviors, move on to acting out of peace, love and acceptance of others, ALL OTHERS.  If you see someone of YOUR race, YOUR culture, YOUR religion, YOUR beliefs striking out against others in a hateful way, DO WHAT IS RIGHT to protect others from violent acts, help your friend, loved one, neighbor by protecting them from themselves, report it, don’t turn a blind eye, or your hands too will be bloodied with the investment you made by a decision of inaction.

What are you investing in?  How do you choose to spend your money, your time, your life?  Every choice you make controls an outcome, even the choice not to choose.  You vote with your dollars, your habits, your decision to or not to vote.  You vote by raising your children in the environment you provide for them.  What do you see as your future balance?  Have you invested enough time in your health to live a strong healthy life with your grand or great grand children?  Have you invested in your relationship with your kids for them to want to come visit you when you are in a home?  Have you invested enough in ethical practises to lead your life as an example to tohers on how to honour and respect all life on this planet?  Have you invested enough in your fellow man/woman so that your deposite of love and accpetance onto others invests into an epidemic of colossal proportions that it takes on a healing lif of its own?  Have you invested in the understanding that with voting you DO have a say in the environment your country offers to be safe in and out of your ow home, local entertainment spots and schools?

With the closing remark, that in a peaceful world no weapon is lethal.  I am completely opposed to guns, yet, as sadly our next generation has displayed in record numbers of suicides, words can kill, and you don’t need a licence to speak.  What are YOU investing in?  I choose to invest in the future, future generation, future evolution, future peace.  Will you join me?

pic for IHL

Normally I would write a gratitude peace to our fathers for fathers day, and they should not be over shadowed by the grievous acts of radical behavior.  To my Father who voted just days before passing, I do hope our neighbors to the south will vote for a peaceful future this fall.  To our fore fathers I offer forgiveness for what they may have done in ignorance and fear, I also show gratitude for those who fell for us to enjoy peace.  To the Fathers Today may you raise tolerant, loving peaceful and respectful children of both sexes, this will not be a simple task, but I know you are up for the challenge!

Tips Tuesday – Chakras

chakras

Why is it so important to balance clear and protect your chakras? Because they impact your mental, physical and emotional health. For some of you like me who weren’t raised with this perception this can be hard to believe, but instead of trying to convince you I encourage you to do some healthy ‘Skeptics’ investigation. The Chakra Bible is available at Chapters and is a great introduction!
Here I will touch on the importance of each one, how it affects you and refresh your mind with optional treatments. First picture the back of a hair dryer, yes I’m a stylist so bare with me, it’s a good analogy. The back of the hair dryer has a round filter which catches all the dust and crud being sucked in with the air to blow through the dryer. If you never clean out this filter what happens? The motor burns out!!! This is the purpose of the Chakras, to filter the crud out of the energy flowing through each chakra so healthy clean energy can filter through to your physical body and prevent burn out or dis’ease. Chakra is sanscrit for spinning wheel. Each chakra spins at a different rate, the lower chakras spinning slower the higher chakras spinning faster. Now each chakra depending on its location affects a different mind, body and emotional state of your being.

Root chakra – base of the spine facing the floor, red in colour affects your ability to stay grounded, feel safe and provide and accept the basic necessities of life. Food, shelter, community and the need to re produce. Any physical attribute of the body located in this area like the sexual organs are impacted by the state this chakra is in. Red Jasper is a good balancing crystal.

Sacral Chakra – Located between the base of the sine and the belly button. Affect the ability to feel and share joy, impact addiction and creativity. Orange in colour and impacts all the physical attribute of the body such as the sexual organs intestines etc. Orange Calcite is a good balancing crystal for this chakra.

Solar Chakra – At or around the belly button. Yellow in colour, it impacts the amount of power or control you feel in your life, and is a main intuition center, the gut instinct can be immobilized if this chakra is not working right. It connects us to all beings and is the link between upper and lower chakras. It impacts the stomach and many other organs located in this vicinity. Yellow Citrine is a good balancing Crystal.

Heart chakra – Found between the breasts, affects relationships to self and others. Can cause depression or issues with the lungs, breasts heart or any other organs in this area. Is pink and green in colour. Rose Quartz or Aventurine are good balancing crystals .

Throat Chakra – Is the colour of the sky at the beach a beautiful indigo. It affects our ability to communicate (speaking and listening) and relationships. It impacts the throat , thyroid and any other organs in it’s vicinity. BLue lace agate is a good balancing crystal.

Brow Chakra – Dark purple or navy is the chakra colour, it impacts your ability to think, analyze, impacts depression and the eyes and brain, pituitary glands etc. Can impact psychic abilities. Sodalite is a good balancing Crystal for this chakra.

Crown chakra – violet in colour , is the fastest spinning chakra in the body and connects us to the source energy. Impacts the brain ability to think, and helps to form ideas. It impacts the brain and other organs in this region. Amethyst is a good balancing crystal.

There are many other chakras but these are a good start. The crystals listed after each chakra are inexpensive quick fixes for each chakra which I recommend retrieving at The Rock Spa in Kitchener in the Wood Burner building on Victoria road. Each Crystal has it’s own energy vibration and each one listed here matched the vibration of the corresponding chakra, therefore “tuning” each chakra like a piano to the appropriate rate of vibration. If it is spinning too fast (over active) or too slow (underactive). A Crystal Therapist Like our own Jes Savage can help balance Chakras as well as many other negative blocked energy through out the body, we will talk more about this treatment next time. Reiki is dedicated to the clearing and balancing of each chakra as well and treatments range from 30 mins to 60 mins and are $35 to $65 .

I hope this has wet your appetite to learn more! The book and resources listed above will help, see where it takes you! If you have children you wish to introduce to the healthier world of holistic medicine I have written two books, “I have Chakras Just like You” and “No More Medicine Mama” which are great introductions to chakras and crystals for kids and parent to learn together. These are available at the links below and in our salon and spa.

Tips Tuesday – Reflexology

Reflexology feet

Reflexology hnd

Each week we are touching on many beautiful self care treatments we offer at HHDS. You can enjoy one per visit or combine any number of treatments together to ease imbalances in the energetic, physical, mental or emotional being that makes you who you are. Last week we touched on Reiki and other energy based treatments which allows you to get out of your own way and allow a licensed practitioner to help release blockages in your mind body and spirit. After these treatments it is advised that you be gentle with yourself. During and after the treatments you may experience a release in the form of twitching, crying, fatigue, tummy upset, so drink lots of water and get lots of sleep to allow the released old negative energy to exit the body safely and gently with as little side affects as possible. Here we share some info on Reflexology, again we encourage you to check with your physician before starting any treatments, keeping in mind all of the treatments we offer do not prevent, complicate or prevent conventional medical care or medications to be effective, if anything it enhances these treatments shortens recovery times and shorten the length of time you need to be on meds.
Reflexology is a treatment impacting “reflex points” on your feet, hands, and head (especially ears). Reflexology affects reflex points related to specific organs and glands in the body, by stimulating these points with finger pressure promotes health in the organs and glands via the body’s energetic pathways.
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment benefiting the whole body. Therapists will use various techniques that include holds, finger pressure, kneading, rotation and rubbing. Therapists can also include hands and feet for the reflexology treatment, you can feel the effects through the entire body..
Reflexology is a good treatment for people who wish to keep their clothes on during a massage and if you are pressed for time and don’t want to get oil all over you.
Reflexology was developed in the US in the 20th century, called “zonal therapy” . It is based on the theory that the body is divided into 10 zones running longitudinally from head to toe — five on each side of the body. Reflexology or pressure on reflex points on the foot or hand will affect body organs in the same zone.

Come learn more at the Everything Holistic Wellness and Spiritual show Sunday May the 25th from 10am to 5pm at Kitchener City hall. Tickets are $2 here at HHHDS or at the door and kids get in free with the donation of a gently used book for ‘Strong Start To Reading’.

Tips Tuesday – Energy Treatments

candle_rock__towel_24884654_std

Energy Treatment’s come in many shapes, sizes, and labels. Bottom line is that everything is made up of molecules, everything is vibrating at a specific rate that is unique to it. A table, a chair, a dog, a cat, a human body. Each organ in the body has it’s own unique vibrational rate that it must sustain in order to do it’s job correctly. If the vibrational rate changes this will create dis-ease in the body. It is up to us to maintain these specific energy frequencies through out our body. Sounds like big responsibility and it is. I can’t put enough information in one tip for all you will need to delve into the exciting mystery that is our energetic signature of our body, but I will encourage you to continue to investigate, follow your intuition to a special modality, practitioner, guide or holistic practitioner to help. Keep in mind always that everything around us is energy as well and who, what, where, we place ourselves will impact our energy and in turn our body. This is why it is so important to put the highest vibrational foods in our body, have the highest vibrational thoughts in our minds, and surround ourselves with highest vibrational people, places and things. As we affect other peoples energy which, in it self is a huge responsibility, so too do they affect ours. Therefore by placing your energy, body and mind as first priority of care you are actually helping others around you too! For the most part, Reiki, Shamballa and Celtic Reiki is shared with you on a treatment table fully clothed while the practitioner hovers their hands over each chakra or intuitively moves to areas of the body which are sensed to be of concern. All energy modalities are said to be a Stress Reduction and Relaxation technique designed to encourage self development. Sessions administered are for the purpose of helping you relax, relieve stress, balance masculine and feminine energy, remove blockages from your Chakras and learn to give and receive love in a balanced manner. Energy Treatment Practitioners do not diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe substances or perform medical treatment, nor interfere with the treatment of licensed medical professional’s. It is recommended that you see a licensed physician, or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment or condition you may have. As you probably noticed I mentioned Chakras here, I do encourage you to learn about these as they are equally if not more important than our organs in our bodies! I will share with you what Chakras are in our next Tips Tuesday.
The body has the ability to heal itself, and to do so complete relaxation is often required. Long-term imbalances in the body require multiple sessions to allow the body to reach the level of relaxation necessary to bring the system back into balance. Self-improvement requires commitment on your part, and that you must be willing to change in a positive way if you are to receive the full benefit of Energy Treatments.
You must commitment to the self-improvement process and recognize that an Energy Treatment session program must be followed to be truly effective, just as prescribed medication is only effective if taken as directed. It is important that you never give your power away during your self healing journey. What I mean is people who have been trained in any form of healing modality are not ‘Healers’ but are able to provide you with the verbal, physical and energetic guidance to assist YOU with YOUR OWN healing. It is important that you find someone you feel comfortable with. If ever you feel uncomfortable or ill at ease find a new practitioner. Not all client practitioners fit perfectly, it takes time sometimes to find the one that fits best and sometimes you must move on to others as you travel along your self improvement path. this is ok and should not be a deterrent or road block to your health. Your intuition is your best guide so make sure you tune into it.
I look forward to sharing more information with you regarding energy treatments and proudly offer Reiki with every Service provider within our Salon and Spa. What that means is that we here at HHDS have taken responsibility for our own energy and the transference of energy to you during your services so that each time you come to see us we maintain our highest vibrational energy that we can and at your request can offer you all of our services infused with the beautiful healing energy of reiki.

Tips Tuesday – Regular Energy Tune ups!

reiki

Life coaching

Life is busy, it’s stressful, it’s draining. But it’s also full of joy, boundless opportunities and blessings, that we sometimes over look because we haven’t ‘Defragmented” on a regular basis. I call it defragmenting. Like when you clean out your computer of old files. It’s essential to maintain a healthy energy level, and who better to maintain and regulate it then you?
To make this a shorter ‘Tip’ lets assume that everyone needs more energy maintenance. Everyone’s energy level needs differ, everyone’s lifestyle differs, the demands and opportunities to re calibrate differ. But on the whole we all need to be more aware. Here are some basic warning signs that you are out of balance with your energy, these are basic guidelines and we could go into more detail but for the sake of time here are just a few.

Tired – need to sleep more then usual
Cranky – short tempered, fighting with friends and or family
Concentration – Lack of it, hard to focus multi tasking
Clumsy – Bumping into things, hurting yourself, moving around to quickly and frantically.
Depression – Varying degrees of this can be felt from simply having no energy to socialize to severe issues needing medication

In order to ‘Fix’ what is broken one must first acknowledge that we need to make a change, and realize that we are more efficient at who we are and what we do when we take the time to nurture ourselves and maintain healthy energy. We have been taught that caring for ourselves is selfish, egocentric, wasteful, lazy or indulgent. None of this is true. You will find after just a short time of changing your view here and caring for yourself, which no one else can truly do efficiently, that you are more energetic, more positive, more patient, more focused, more agile and just happier! Making you a more effective contributor to your relationships and career.
There are so many options to clear away or defragment your old ways of thinking, and embrace a new more vital you! A few energy boosting services you can enjoy with us at HHDS are:

Reflexology
Reiki
Crystal therapy
Holistic Life Coaching
Massage
Mani’s
Pedi’s

Among many other beautiful mind, body and spirit enhancing services. In the coming weeks I will share with you some details of these services to introduce you further towards balancing your energy with services best suited to your needs!

Tips Tuesday – TMI On Social Media

social media

HHHMMM A little Harsh?

Sorry, But Think about this for a second.

I’m in the industry that used to be known as ‘The First Impression Maker!

No longer can we hold this auspicious title.

Social media is now your official ‘First Impression Maker’.

SOOOOO…..

What does your social media say about you?  I had a conversation with a Networking ‘Friend’ on facebook.  She has just posted what I felt was a very authentic view of herself and I commended her candid and balance in her comment.

She had stated that she had noticed her efforts of late had slacked since she had first begun her journey in her efforts, however in observing this she realized how far she had come so quickly in her goals initially and how she was so proud of that fat.  She then realized she had strayed off course and had fallen prey to being busy and distracted.  After observing this of herself she sat in a state of recognition of her power to alter her current reality as she had before.  In realizing her ability to control her reality both in her initial success, followed by temporary distraction and back to balance she had the ability to not just re-attain her previous success but exceed it.

By sharing this story with her friends she showed that she was human, flawed but capable, and very accessible.

Generally when someone asks how we are doing, we say, ‘Good’ ‘Fine’ ‘Great’, many of us are afraid to show that we are human, that badge of honour connected to you have to be ‘Good’ no matter what stressors are in your life, because if anyone sees a chink in your armour its all over the façade it blown!  If you aren’t stressed you aren’t successful!   Maybe it’s not appropriate when someone asks how is business to say wow it sucks, it’s been slow and staff is hard to come by, but a happy medium might be good?  ‘How are you’, ‘I’m doing alright, family is healthy, business has been a bit slow but it fluctuates!’ This is a balance.  A realistic snap shot of reality, the good the bad and the neutral, life is neither good or bad, it’s how you perceive your reality.  I find it interesting how some pessimists label themselves realists.  Somehow these individuals believe that in order to be ‘realistic’ you must be negative or only see the negative side of the situation.  Being a Libra I am cursed, and blessed with seeing both sides, IN EVERYTHING!  Some people see this as indecisive, but in reality it is just reality.  In reality there are two sides to everything. ‘Negative’ and ‘Positive’.  In nature there just ‘IS’.  And if you mess with it you mess with the balance.  Listen I’m with ya, I hate watching the Lion catch the Gazelle on the nature shows, but what happens if there is no Lion? Everything is in a delicate balace.  And if you are too far one way or the other, you are out of balance.  Balance is crucial In health and when it comes to portraying yourself to others you might want to look at your social media pages for clues.

I often find it interesting how others perceive me.  We all have a different view on a situation. Five different people could go watch a movie and each one would have a view of the best and worst part, the parts they remembered or whether or not they would recommend it to others.  This is a reflection fo a whole other convo, one you could participate in this Saturday from 2:30-5:30 for our Writing On The Wall workshop.  It sheds light on how the brain is impacted at child hood and provides us with a filter we perceive our lives through, until we recognize our ability to alter the filter to become more balanced and less judgmental in our view point on life.

On the flip side what DOES your social media say about you?

Are you using it to vent, bad hair days, broken hearts, and lost causes?  How does this negative posting affect your friends and loved ones?  Those who love and support you might feel disappointed and hurt that the venting might show others that you don’t have the support and love from family that they do in reality provide, but that you in your perspective don’t see, or perhaps appreciate?   This results in ‘Un-Friending’ as many acquaintances might find the negativity too much, loved ones might feel the need to release the ties to protect themselves from the hurt it causes.

Are you posting rainbows and butterflies, or something in the middle.  I guess if your social media is a place where people are deriving ‘First Impressions’ from such as  future employers, romantic partners and networking contacts I guess this might be an area to look at what 1 dimensional perspective of ourselves we are displaying.  You can’t blame someone from being repelled by accessive negative posts, or concerned about inauthentic behaviour.  I will admit I’m a little further towards rainbows and butterflies, I guess I feel a need to swing the pendulum a little farther to the light side to offset all the negativity.

I also feel that social media is more of a place for inspiration and motivation.

But hey, that’s just me!

Practical Guide to Grounding 

Kerstin Kramer @ HHDS

There is more to your body than just what meets the eye. Beside your physical body you also have an energetic body surrounding you. Some people refer to this as your “aura” or “energy field”. In a healthy body your energy moves freely in, through and around your body, nourishing all of your vital organs and body systems. When you feel out of sorts, upset, or anxious the flow of that energy can become inhibited or blocked and sometimes we also draw too much energy in, which makes us feel exhausted or agitated.

Being able to “ground” yourself or to balance your energy is an important self-care tool, which can help tremendously in maintaining health & wellness. In this little guide I will share some insights on how to become aware of your own energy and how to dispose of any excess energy your body may hold!

What is grounding?

When we ground, we consciously realign our energy with that of the Earth. The Earth has been playing an important part in our wellbeing since the dawn of time, as it supports us and recharges our cells on a daily basis. Most of us feel very comfortable and grounded when we walk in bare feet along the beach – that is just one of those opportunities where we connect with the Earth in order to ground ourselves.

When we ground ourselves we recharge not just our physical body, but we also address any mental, emotional or spiritual concerns that have been lingering in our energy field. Through the process of grounding we also balance the electrical charges in our body – positive and negative.

How do I know if I need grounding?

Your body is in constant communication with you and sends signals to you, to let you know how balanced you are at any given day and time. Most of us do know when we feel well – that is when we feel upbeat, excited, happy, content, joyous and optimistic. On the other side of the coin, we can also tell when we feel “off”.

The following symptoms point towards your energy being out of balance, disconnected from Earth:

  • feeling moody, down or depressed
  • feeling angry, anxious or agitated
  • feeling lost, lethargic, slow or forgetful with a tendency to procrastinate
  • experiencing day dreaming, forgetfulness or feeling lost
  • experiencing weight gain, dizziness, headaches & migraines, nausea
  • experiencing sleep problems or falling asleep when meditating

How can I ground myself?

Some of the techniques that you can do to ground your body are already part of your daily life. If you can bring conscious awareness to these processes, you are able to truly benefit from these techniques and help your body come back to balance in an effortless way.

Connect with nature and the earth:

  • Walk barefoot on the ground, at the beach or in your garden
  • Spend time in your garden, connecting with the earth and the plants
  • Touch or climb a tree or simply sit under it to read a book or have a picnic
  • Walk, jog or meditate outside
  • Take relaxing showers and imagine the water cleansing your physical & energy body

Incorporate the grounding colour red into your life:

  • Wear red socks or underwear
  • Wear red shoes
  • Add more red colour to your home

Expose your body to movement & vibration:

  • Jump up and down on the spot
  • Practice drumming with drums
  • Exercise by practicing Yoga or squats
  • Stomp your feet on the spot

Consume foods that are very grounding in nature:

  • Eat root veggies
  • Eat sweet potatoes & yams
  • Eat good quality proteins (eggs, nuts & meats)

Add grounding stones to your jewellery:

  • Select hematite, obsidian, black tourmaline, ruby or onyx
  • Choose a special stone that you picked up from a favourite place that you visited

Use essential oils in a diffuser or on your skin:

Incorporate holistic modalities:

  • Reiki (very grounding, balances energy)
  • Reflexology (brings awareness to your foot, opens up root chakra)

Tips Tuesday – Mental Health Week

Celebrating Mental Health Week At HHDS

mental health week #1

Isn’t this a rosy picture?

This is what most people picture when they think of people who are truly mentally well.

But I have news for you!

It Ain’t All that Rosy all the time.

There is without a doubt varying degrees of Mental Health.

I had someone ask me the other day, (we had just met and had exchanged some personal info while I was styling her hair) “How do you stay so positive and happy?” Without even thinking I said, “Well, I guess I’m ok with not being happy all the time.” After I thought about it and realized how very important that statement had been. I love when my higher self takes over spontaneously and I get the chance to observe it later. I realized that in that statement resided the root of true happiness. Being ok with not being happy all the time allowed for acceptance. When we accept we stop resisting, and forcing outcomes. I realized that it is impossible to be happy all the time. It is unrealistic to assume that would be the definition of true Mental Health. I realized that when I was worried about the past or revisiting a painful memory this caused me unhappiness and I could choose to not live in that despair by releasing the past. I realised that by not resisting the natural flow of life which meant resisting change, allowed life to flow through me so I didn’t experience the feeling of fear of what was to come or anger for either losing what I have to make room for something better. I realized that resisting what was to come for fear of something bad happening actually prevented me from enjoying the experience of life and being disappointed that everything didn’t happen as I planned it. Actually it has been my experience of 40 years that usually everything turns out better then I could have planned and I am very often grateful for unanswered prayers because the universe truly knows best. I’m not saying I don’t still get tripped up and think of someone or something in the past that maybe has hurt me, but I release them and thank you for th lessons I learned from that experience. I still make plans and try to manifest ‘The Big Picture’ but if plans fall through I don’t get so attached, I and believe something better is in the works. When I manifest I ask that what I ask for or something better come to fruition, so if what I hoped for doesn’t happen, I know something greater is planned for me.

I know for many people this seems a little too idealistic, but I will tell you what has gotten me here.

Holistic Life Coaching

and

Energy Psychology

In training for my certifiecation to become a Holistic Life Coach I had no choice but to become the observer in my life and clear myself of everything that had held me back. The best part was that I was in the drivers seat with the best of co pilots. I loved how as I learned to become a Holistic Life Coach I had to travel through the good the bad and the ugly!

This has made me a better more empathetic Holistic Life Coach. I realize that we all start somewhere and we all have varying goals and different perspectives and approaches to our ideas of happiness and wellbeing.

I am so proud to be assisting others on their journey to more balanced Mental Health, and to celebrate this very important week to recognize this important awareness of equality and empathy I am offering 30 min Reiki and 30 min Holsitic Life Coaching package for only $50! Reg $80!
