During an Access Bars treatment, a practitioner gently touches 32 points on the head to release an electromagnetic charge of all thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions and beliefs that may have limited you or negatively impacted you. Getting your Bars run creates a sense of ease, space, and possibility unlike anything you’ve experienced. Bars allows one to learn how to truly receive reset, let go, and start a fresh open minded state of consciousness. Everyone may experience this in a different way but the results are astounding.
The best way to find out about Access Bars is to try it!

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a form of healing that views the body holistically and as a part of
nature. TCM looks at emotions, diet, lifestyle and the environment to see where dysfunction may be
coming from and to get to the root of a problem. It uses many tools such as acupuncture, cupping,
guasha, moxibustion, ear seeds, and herbal formulas to help bring the body back to balance and
homeostasis.

Acupuncture is the stimulation of certain points with very thin, sterile needles to circulate blood,
nutrients and energy throughout the body. It restores balance and harmony while stimulating the
parasympathetic nervous system to foster a safe healing environment.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have a strong effect on the physical, emotional and spiritual
aspects of a person. Which is very impactful in regard to sexual, reproductive, mental and digestive
health. We are passionate about helping women with infertility, regulating the menstrual cycle,
relieving PMS symptoms, increasing libido, decreasing pain during intercourse, and reducing
menopausal symptoms. If you are struggling with infertility or plan on working with the regional
fertility clinic, it is best to start acupuncture treatment as early as possible to regulate your cycle and
body to prepare it for conception.

Acupuncture can also help with a variety of other disorders such as chronic or acute injury,
autoimmune disease, headaches/migraines, sleep issues, hormonal issues, asthma, digestion,
chronic fatigue, arthritis, and emotional dysregulation to name a few.

The techniques applied have been used for centuries to help relieve muscular stress, joint tension, back, neck or hip pain. It increases flexibility, strengthens the body, improves circulation, freeing blockages in energy flow & stimulates internal organs. Thai yoga massage also enhances detoxification from mental, emotional, & physical strain; revitalizing and releasing stress. It uses massage work within the meridian lines to unblock stuck energy in the body. The recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing that allows for full body movement, as one lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. Rather than rubbing on the muscles, there is pressure applied while the rest of the body is pulled, stretched & rocked. Postures can be held in seated, prone, supine or side lying positions. Thai yoga massage also uses an ayurvedic approach to maximize the therapeutic intent.

Whether you have chronic pain/illness, are suffering adjusting to life postpartum, have a child experiencing ADHD, autism, sensory issues or executive functioning issues, occupational therapy might be for you.

Occupational therapy is all about helping you engage in the activities you want and need to do in your day-to-day, so you can feel better and live a deeply fulfilling life. Occupational therapists look at all the factors that contribute to your life and help you overcome the obstacles that get in the way of you participating fully. Think of "occupation" as the stuff that fills our days – from brushing our teeth to pursuing hobbies. By diving into these everyday activities, we learn, grow, connect with others, and find meaning in our lives.

Private one-on-one gentle movement sessions that support the release of held trauma in the
body, both emotional and physical. This can often show up as pain, anxiety, depression,
headaches, digestive issues, acute and chronic illness, relationship disharmony and
emotional overwhelm. In this way, these sessions can be used to support and augment
counselling and other therapies.

Join Ginette in these beautiful, nurturing gentle movement sessions where she holds space
for you to identify, observe, accept, and release (if ready) anything that’s holding you back
from living your fullest life. Life experiences get trapped deep into our cells and to be
released they need to be “moved” out of the body. Come be held and supported as you
connect to your divine essence, your truth, as you move these stuck energies through and
out of your body. As we start to feel, we begin to awaken and heal.

These sessions give you the opportunity to tap into your deepest wounds and let them go in
a safe and loving space.

Reflexology is a natural and holistic therapeutic method that restores and maintain the body’s natural balance and facilitates
healing. The principle is that there are reflexes in the body that map and correlate to glands, organs and other parts of
the body.  Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, improve circulation, support the body's efforts to function optimally. It helps with musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, anxiety, stress, hormones, and digestive issues to name a few.

Unlike other therapies which manipulate bones or muscle tissues, Reflexology can provide much
needed relief through working the body reflex that ails you on a part of the body that does not.
The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of
“imbalance” and vital body systems can be blocked, preventing the body from functioning
optimally. For each person, the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained
hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances and by working on these points that are then released.
Reflexology is one of the safest and least invasive complementary therapeutic practices available.
You do not have to remove your clothing and it treats the entire body!

Reiki is pure energy, it is available to all who wish to tap into it, accept it & become one with it's energy and wisdom. Words cannot adequately describe Reiki, it needs to be experienced.

The powerful force of reiki is known to help the body regenerate itself by providing patients the space and clarity necessary to do so.

Cultivating wellness during adolescence sometimes feels like an uphill battle.

This incredible system removes most stains with a gentle LED light source that whitens your teeth. As the active ingredients in the gel used (carbamide & hydrogen peroxide) are broken down, heat, oxygen and light act upon the stained organic deposits, which oxidizes them into a whiter colour. This process makes the overall tooth colour closer to its natural unstained colour while your tooth structure remains unchanged.

The blue/red LED light emits a cold blue light that accelerate the process of oxidization & a soft red light which helps with inflammation and pain (properties found in LED light therapy) in addition to simultaneously reducing the amount of negative bacteria, which is why they are so safe. The light cannot burn the skin or gums. The wavelength is typically in the range of 465 nanometers. This wavelength activates the peroxide, accelerating the process to provide you with the quickest results possible. With the use of this specially combined LED light, we see less then 1% of the population experience any sensitivity!

We use a blended gel of Hydrogen peroxide and Carbamide Peroxide to help minimize tooth sensitivity during the whitening process. Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is faster-acting than Carbamide Peroxide (Urea) but fast isn't always the best choice. Though fast acting formulas are exciting, they oxidize the tooth enamel rapidly, so only a thin layer of the outer surface can be treated before potential for sensitivity. This “shallow whitening” can be perfect for a special occasion but may not last long. Carbamide Peroxide is slower acting with about a third of the oxidizing power of H2O2 but is made stronger by a synergistic effect with the Hydrogen Peroxide molecules. Because it acts more slowly, it has time to penetrate deeper into the enamel with less chance of sensitivity for longer lasting whitening results.

The blended gel is a perfect concoction derived from both peroxides to deliver the best of both worlds, Fast Acting AND Long -lasting BRIGHT WHITE results with minimal risk of sensitivity!

TMJ Therapy is indicated if you experience tension in the jaw muscles, clench or grind your teeth, suffer from chronic, tension, cluster or chinook headaches, have pain in the jaw joint, joint locking or popping, dizziness, deep ear pain, ringing in the ears, or neck & upper back pain/spasm. This treatment focuses on the muscles of the shoulders, neck and face but most importantly includes an intra-oral massage. Yes, you read that right! We put gloves on and massage the muscles inside the mouth. The treatment ends with a blissful scalp massage and activation & clearing of the access bars in the head.

*TMJ Therapy may be covered by your insurance company but cannot be direct billed. Please check with your insurance provider. Can be submitted to Health Care Spending Plan.
