Heal Your Mind, Body & Soul
Reiki Energy Therapy is a holistic, light touch Japanese stress reduction, relaxation and healing technique that treats the whole person – mind, body, and soul. Negative thoughts, emotions or experiences can get stuck in our body, potentially causing emotional or mental distress which may manifest in the physical as disease.

It stimulates the parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system helping the body to relax and activating the body’s own natural healing processes.

Your unconscious mind is keeping you from having what you truly want in your life, and could even be sabotaging your best efforts. These unconscious commitments fuel your thoughts and behaviours. They are what creates the gap between what you say you want and what you are actually experiencing. When you were young and experienced a difficult situation but didn’t know how to process it, you made a decision about the meaning and formed a belief as a coping mechanism. Your mind believed it was necessary for survival. These beliefs stick with you and are reinforced over time. Ready to erase these unconscious commitments and choose new ones?

Dentures and Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is a condition that involves the salivary glands not producing enough saliva to adequately keep the mouth moistened. This lack of saliva can alter the fit and comfort of dentures, since saliva helps dentures retain their suction and stay in place and also has a lubricating effect that keeps dentures from rubbing on the gums and creating sores. Those who take certain medications, are older, and use tobacco and alcohol are more susceptible to dry mouth. If you’re experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a denture-wearer, contact your denturist to discuss your options.
