Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that offers patients a variety of benefits. It improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific energy points on the body’s meridian lines. The most common method used to stimulate these energy points is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin.
Cupping
Cupping Therapy uses negative pressure (rather than tissue compression) for results in a wide array of bodywork techniques. It is a traditional, time-honoured treatment that remains favoured by millions of people worldwide because it is safe, comfortable, and offers remarkable results. Cupping therapy lifts connective tissue, releases rigid tissue and loosens adhesion's. Cupping pulls stagnation, waste and toxins to the skin level where they can be easily flushed out by the lymphatic and circulatory system. The pulling action engages the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing deep relaxation throughout the entire body.

Holistic Nutrition
What is Holistic Nutrition?
I firmly believe that nutrition plays a key role in your everyday wellness and health. What we eat affects almost every aspect of our general health. As a nurse and RHN, I will discuss, evaluate, and assess your nutritional status in consideration of any other health issues that you are currently managing. A properly managed diet can often help alleviate many health issues that ail us in our daily lives, such as high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and weight management problems. I believe there is not a “fits all” approach, any plan is tailored to accommodate you.
Good nutrition is not just about the food that you eat but how it fits into your lifestyle, so that you can enjoy it, without guilt or feeling that you are on a diet. Its about enjoying the foods you can eat and understanding how this affects your, health, weight and well-being in the long term.
Insurance coverage is constantly changing – more and more companies are starting to cover holistic nutritionists. Speak with your insurance provider for further details.
