Almost 2 Years!

It's nearly time to renew my contract at Health Works! I can't believe it's been two years already! I'm pretty gleeful, however. I love my little office, I love the other practitioners that work in the office, and I adore our reception staff. (It's usually a work-day goal to get them giggling at some point during my day, although the most I get to do is flit in and out of their work space in between my own clients.)

I think I should do a "2 years yay!" special. I'll wrap my head around it, and keep you posted!

In the mean time, my head is working on wrapping itself around some education upgrades. I tend to like the Universe to let me know where it wants me to go with these sorts of things. It's been pretty good to me so far!

Do these cause you pain and discomfort? Call today for a Reflexology appointment in Midland Ontario.

Lessons from a Busy Week.

I think the last 2 weeks have been the busiest I've ever had in the Reflexology office. Busy busy!

I think it's because I'm seeing a lot of summer visitors to our area, as well has having all of my regular clients. It's delightful to see so many people. (Yes. I DO use words like "delightful" in everyday conversation. hahah.)

Things I've learned in these two weeks:
*LISTEN. I've been gifted with some incredible stories of life in wartime.
*When the air conditioner is on, there is no such thing as too many blankets.
*Bring snacks. Always.
*Sometimes the stairs to my office are a problem. Find out in advance!
*It's a good thing my therapy chair is so light, and I can do a session in a chiro office!
*When they say 'harder', they mean it!
*Do not fear language barriers.
*Bring a book.
*Bring a toothbrush.
*The ladies in reception work hard. Thank them daily. With chocolate, if possible.

The more time I spend in the office, the more I love it. I had a lady say "Oh, this must be hard on you!" My reply was "I love doing this! So it doesn't feel hard at all."

First Accupuncture Treatment Ever!

I had my first Accupuncture Treatment EVER!

Yes, I was a little apprehensive. And then I had to laugh, because I have TATTOO'S. How could I be scared of one little needle, when I've sat for hours getting a hundred little needles??? Too funny.

Blake, at Health Works Chiropractic and Wellness Centre treated me for my lungs and general wellness. And said a lot of things about meridians and Yin and Yang energy. Mostly stuff I couldn't concentrate on, because he was tapping needles in me. Haha!

BUT, this morning, I'm so happy to report, I didn't have to use my inhaler! Usually I use it before I even open my eyes in the morning. I've been awake for 2 hours now, and it's SO curious to me! I keep sitting still to be conscious of my lungs... and realizing "Nope! Don't need the inhaler right now!"

I'm pretty tickled. Even though I'm a Wellness pracitioner, sometimes it's easy to forget to treat ourselves!

The needles were super small, (thin) and although I was aware of them, I wasn't in PAIN. There is a point between the thumb and first finger that is STILL AWARE.. and it was a challenge to try and forget about it during the treatment.

I think I may have found a new THING to add to my wellness regime.

Have you had Accupuncture Before? What was your experience?

Air Conditioning, BBQ, Business Visits.. OH my!!

The entire office at Health Works is air conditioned. It's an absolute relief to come in  out of the hot sun, into my cool little office, for both my clients AND myself. I love setting up the peaceful room for clients to relax in. But, just incase you cool down TOO much, I have plenty of soft warm blankets to keep you relaxed.

Today, however, I'll be outdoors with my parasol! The staff from Health Works will be attending the Chamber of Commerce Annual Barbeque at the Town Dock today for lunch. If you see me, say hello! I'd love to talk about how periodic Reflexology visits to your business could benefit your awesome and hard working staff!

Outdoor Reflexology Treatments. Aaaaaaah

Nice days like today WANT me to be giving reflexology treamtments outdoors.

And then I realized that I COULD!

I own a quick pop up tent, complete with bug screening. I own two folding zero gravity chairs. All of the things that I need for a Reflexology treatment could fit in a little bag.  I would only need a source of water to properly wash my hands before and after treatments.

It would be wonderful to be able to give Reflexology treatments outside in a clients back yard! Being at your place of residence, enjoying the sounds of summer in your yard. Imagine it!

FOOT SPA!

I picked this little number up today!


This is an addition for Reflexology treatments. However, I'll only be able to use this for at home treatments. My office doesn't have everything I would need to have a water bath going.

I'm really excited about it though!

At home treatments are only $70 in the Midland area. I bring my zero gravity chair (unless you have a recliner that will support your entire leg and feet. Then, we can just use yours.) And I bring lotion or oils (depending on your preference.) You can sit yourself outside, or inside. You can listen to music of your choice, or have complete silence. The actual treatment time is 60 minutes, but with the foot bath, setting up, treatment, and then notes, I suggest planning on 2 hours for home visits.

Please email me for scheduled availability for home visit Reflexology treatments in Midland Ontario. A lovely way to do something really nice for yourself, or someone you adore!
