In an attempt to keep our surroundings free of bacteria and odours, we might use household cleaners that contain harsh chemicals and toxins that can aggravate health conditions. Egret Lab Canada’s Egret EO Sprayer is a patented cleaning generator that creates a natural, non-toxic cleaning solution called electrolyzed water. Also known as hypochlorous acid, electrolyzed water is created through the process of combining salt, water, and electricity. Research has shown that this natural cleaning solution removes 99.9% of many common germs, odours, and bacteria from surfaces, equipment and more, without the need for chemicals or toxins.

Be Still…with Reiki!
Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy healing technique used for relaxation, stress reduction and balance that can promote healing on many levels. It is typically given by ‘laying on of hands’ as you lie on a massage table fully clothed. This higher frequency, positive energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into your energy field releasing ‘energy blockages’ by lifting and transforming lower frequency energies such as worry, fear, anger and anxiety. The deep relaxation experienced with Reiki can have many beneficial effects including more calm/stillness to the body & mind, better sleep, reduced stress & pain and reduction of overwhelm and anxiety.
