Sarah Rubenstein  Masters in Counselling Psychology 

Drawing from her Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and over 12 years of experience in energy work, Sarah's goal is to help people rediscover the joy that is at their core. Sarah received both her first and second level in Reiki over 12 years ago, and has also worked as a Zen Shiatsu therapist and psychotherapist. However, it is her more recent discovery of an energy work called Divine Openings that she finds the most exciting. As a spiritual life coach Sarah fuses the two streams of her experience in psychology and energy work. She offers coaching, energy work, and a combination of the two.

Melissa Zaichick

My name is Melissa Zaichick and I have been in the healing arts business since 2003. I hold a certification of Reflexology as well as Reiki. In addition, I have full working knowledge of Swedish massage and continue to study various forms of Eastern holistic therapy. My background in the field of dentistry, as a dental assistant and treatment co-ordinator, has allowed my medical intuition to grow and has endowed me with a sense of perception and understanding which has greatly contributed to my patient’s care and well-being.

With my father in the painful last stages of metastasized cancer, I applied "touch therapy" to help ease his discomfort. Before then he had not been receptive to therapeutic touch. Shortly thereafter he began to call out for me to help him manage his pain. He told me I had a calling - and it was then that I made my decision to begin a career in the healing arts.

My beautiful father is now gone - but he gave me a new journey to forge ahead with. It is an honour to offer these wonderful and respected therapies to those who desire a sense of peaceful balance, rejuvenation and the ability to just "be".

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care combines science, art and philosophy to identify and remove nerve interference in the body. A Doctor of Chiropractic is trained to observe the body's mechanics and recognize potential sources of problems. Healing is encouraged by manual adjustments of the spine and extremities or other natural techniques, including soft tissue therapy, prescribed exercises, nutritional advice and custom fitted orthotics.

Chiropractic care is beneficial for a myriad of issues:

• neck, back and foot pain
• poor posture
• repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• headaches
• whiplash and auto accident injuries
• menstrual cramps

Reflexology

When we experience illness or stress, channels of energy within the body become blocked interfering with the natural flow of energy whereby disturbing our feeling of wholeness. Exhaustion, anxienty and chronic ailments may set in and inhibit the balance of your life.

Reflexology is a holistic, complimentary healing therapy which works on the whole person from the inside out, working beyond physical symptoms straight to their source within the body; a compliment to conventional and traditional health care.

The application of pressure on the reflexes of the feet or hands during a reflexology treatment induces a deeply relaxing effect upon the body as well as triggering the body’s innate healing process; releasing blocks in the flow of energy within the zones which correspond to every organ, gland and parts of the body, promoting relaxation, circulation, energy, and general well-being.

Spiritual Life Coaching

Spiritual life coaching is a new approach to mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well being. It is based on the philosophy that all that is required is for us to reconnect to our essence--our "higher self". A spiritual life coach will talk with you about where you want to be in your life and how you want to feel, and will help you to dissolve the barriers toward achieving those goals. In conjunction, a spiritual life coach may also offer energy work to further enhance and ease the process. Coaching and energy work are a natural combination, since both address all aspects of well being. Coaching differs from psychotherapy in that it is usually present- or future-focused and does not usually delve into the past. It can also be a time-limited process: you might meet only once, or several times--that is up to you. You can choose to receive both energy work and coaching, or either one separately.
