Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapy encompasses many different techniques and treatment styles. Therapists may compress, rub and stretch muscles, tendons and other soft tissues of the body. RMTs most often use their hands and fingers, but may use their forearms and elbows to do this work. Please note that communication is key to an excellent experience. Pressure, depth and techniques can be changed to suit each person. Enjoy!
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine that primarily works through supporting homeostasis in the body. The Traditional Chinese Medicine theory of balancing Yin & Yang can be viewed as the regulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When we engage the nervous system with the insertion of these delicate needles, we may:
*Release endorphins
*Reduce inflammation
*Regulate various hormones
*Calm the central nervous system, muscles, spinal cord, and brain
*Decrease muscular and fascial tension
These biochemical changes stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, and help to promote physical and emotional well-being. Through its regulatory properties, acupuncture can help with a variety of conditions, such as: physical pain of all kinds, digestive issues, menstrual issues, headaches & stress.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine uses natural remedies to help the body heal itself. Naturopathic medicine combines traditional treatments with of modern science. It embraces many therapies, including herbs (Botany), exercise, life style management, sleep hygiene and nutritional counselling.
The goal of naturopathic medicine is to treat the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. Its focus is to heal the root causes of an illness - not just stop the symptoms.
Naturopathic medicine focuses on education and prevention, so you have a personal health care plan!
Naturopathic Injection Therapy and Bioenergetics
Dr. Tonia Winchester, ND is our resident naturopathic injection therapist. Therapeutic levels of micronutrients such as vitamins and/or minerals are administered either intramuscularly or intravenously. This allows the body to bypass absorbing nutrients through the gut, and instead rapidly absorb and deliver them directly to the cells and tissues that need them most. Other natural remedy injections to ease and soothe any type of pain syndrome are also available.

Reiki Healing
Reiki is a complementary health technique that involves placing hands on or above a person to help direct energy and promote healing.
Reiki practitioners believe that the body has an energy force that can be manipulated to help the body heal itself.
Practitioners believe that blocked energy paths may cause illness, pain, or weakness.
During a session, the practitioner places their hands on specific areas of the body, focusing on the seven main energy centers, or chakras.
The practitioner holds their hands in place until they feel the energy has stopped flowing.
Reiki is used for stress reduction, relaxation, spiritual healing and considered safe and non invasive.
It can be used in conjunction with many other traditional medical treatments.
