How Successful is Therapeutic Hypnosis?
When seeking help for a problem, you must decide on the type of therapy that will help you the most. If you need to understand and talk about why you feel and act a certain way, consider psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. But when you are really ready for a change, give serious consideration to therapeutic hypnosis. It offers a deep and rapid clearing of blocks with long-lasting results. The American Health Comparison Study recently published in the American Health Magazine shows 93% recovery after six sessions of hypnotherapy.
Activities for Managing Stress
Chronic stress can be detrimental to our overall health. There are many things that you can do to help deal with the stress in your life. Parks and Recreation has exercise programs to get you moving, meditation programs to help you relax, and cooking courses to teach you healthy food alternatives. There are hundreds of programs to help you develop new hobbies, and you can do each of these as you connect with others. See the Spring and Summer Activity Guide for ways to de-stress
Your Feet and You
Feet. To some, the word brings up images of trails and mountains, kids running in playgrounds and walking beside a lake. For others, it just brings up feelings of pain and annoyance. Feet connect our bodies to the earth and help most of us get from Point A to Point B but do we take proper care of them? Do they cause us pain but we don’t know why? Taking proper care of our feet early on in life can help us live a longer and more productive life. Join us on April 16 to learn how you can care for your feet.
Root Out Limiting Core Beliefs
Thought changing is a surprisingly simple yet profoundly effective tool for rooting out some of your most limiting core beliefs. Crippling thoughts such as “I’m not good enough”, “I’m a failure”, “I am worthless”, or “They’d be better off without me” damages your effectiveness in life and prevents you from living a fulfilled and enriched life. Seek out a Registered Clinical Counsellor if you want to make some radical shifts that can help improve your relationships, work, social or family life, and most importantly, how you view yourself. We are here to help you!
Pain and Inflammation Got You Inflamed?
Many suffer with pain and inflammation because they have been taught it is just part of the aging process. Fortunately, it does not have to be that way. There is so much that can be done. First step is to discover what is causing the pain and inflammation; dehydration, parasites, repetitive stress, improper diet, lifestyle, among other things. When inflammation is reduced, vibrancy and increased energy return along with new possibilities. Stop allowing the pain and inflammation from running your life. You deserve to be in the driver’s seat. Find a holistic health practitioner who can support your journey to great health.
Healing Trauma & PTSD with Hypnosis
There is growing clinical recognition of the incredible power and healing value within the Ancient Art of Hypnosis. Hypnosis can provide pain free removal of any emotional trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It allows you to resolve anxieties, insomnia, flash backs and disturbing dreams. Destructive behaviours, substance abuse and anger can be prevented. Hypnosis can help you create a happy life after trauma and/or PTSD. Come to the workshop on April 7 to find out more.

Bowenwork Therapy for Frozen Shoulder
Do you experience joint pain or restriction in range of motion? As a Bowen Therapist, one of the complaints I see is Frozen Shoulder. This very painful condition often takes 1-2 years to “thaw”. Bowen Works patient Barb says, “In 2014, I suffered with two frozen shoulders. I was in excruciating pain and had very limited mobility. I tried other treatments but they were painful and didn’t help. I had not heard of Bowen Therapy before but after 5 treatments both shoulders were completely healed”. Bowen Therapy is safe, pain-free, and very effective in the treatment of Frozen Shoulder.
Updating the Programming
Your mind is like a computer. It probably runs with great tools but does so using outdated software creating undesired habits and behaviours. With Therapeutic Hypnosis and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), you can easily and effectively delete old data and replace it with new programming. From self-confidence to smoking cessation, anxiety relief and pain management, RTT can help you build new healthy habits in an average of 21 days (time required by the brain to do so). Once anchored in your mind and reinforced by a personalized recording, the new desired data becomes permanent.
