As a RAC (Reflexology Association of Canada) certified Foot Reflexologist I look forward to introducing this natural healing service here at Fifth Winnipeg.
Throughout my life I have dealt with many health issues and have explored various different avenues on how to manage the maladies and ailments I was facing. The prospect of relying on medications daily prescribed by a doctor was not working for me, nor appealing. I wanted to get to the root of my health problems and heal them directly. With this personal mission I landed in the world of non-invasive natural healing methods.
Using natural remedies to promote healing of the body, mind, and spirit became a huge passion of mine. As I began feeling and seeing remarkable differences and improvements it inspired me to make a living while making a difference. My mission then evolved into sharing the power of Foot Reflexology Therapy with others, so they too can appreciate and experience what a transformative practice it is.
So, what is Reflexology? It is a natural therapeutic method derived from this study based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology Therapy can relieve tension, improve circulation, and support the body’s efforts to function optimally.
I am excited to offer my service to everyone of every gender and of every age. I will ensure a safe, relaxing, and effective hour dedicated to your well-being.
