I started my journey towards discovering alternative ways to heal disease and discomfort for myself over 29 years ago.  I took Reiki an energy-healing course in 1991 while attending massage school, and that started my official journey into the energy healing arts. My path has been meandering, challenging, insightful and full of exploration.I graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1992 and worked in one of my instructor’s clinics in Kitsilano. In 1993 I decided to open my own clinic in historic Steveston Village which I called Turning Point Wellness Centre. A centre where patients would be supported and empowered in their health and wellness. Personally I am committed to constant learning and understanding of how the body/mind/soul works. I have taken extensive courses in Cranial Sacral therapy – graduate from a 3-year program from Windwood institute of Cranial therapy, and Upledger cranial and visceral therapy. I have also taken osteopathic muscle energy courses. June of 2010, I had an exciting opportunity to participate in a course from France that was offered for the first time in Western Canada and USA. I completed the course August 2011 from the Institute for G.D.S. Muscular Chains and Techniques, and still study with my mentor via Skype.From 2006-2010 I had an amazing opportunity to live in the South Pacific with my husband.  It was there that I was exposed to a culture that still relies on the medicine woman and herbs first before Doctors. I always knew that my practice would eventually change to an energy-healing modality of some sort.  I tried an online course in herbalism (influenced from living in Fiji) and while it still fascinates me, I knew this was not the direction I was to take. For 2 years I had been searching for a course on energy healing. Gratefully through a patient I discovered Donna Eden’s book Energy Medicine and knew within minutes of reading the book that this was the next step in my healing career. I had always felt “things” when I treated patients but never knew what it meant, but trusted where my hands directed me. Since graduating I now know that I am kinesthetic- I feel energy; I am also tonal I hear energy. After four very rigorous years of training I am now an Advanced Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner.  I personally have experienced profound changes- physically, emotionally and spiritually from receiving sessions, it truly has changed my life in so many outstanding ways. I really love Energy Medicine!  The treatments I have received have been empowering, improved my health and given me a tool (DER) to use daily to maintain my energy flow in my body.  When I start to feel stressed, ill, angry, or out of sorts, I have tools and simple techniques that I can easily and quickly do to restore my energy and re-balance and re-center myself. I feel blessed to work with a system that empowers clients in their own growth of health and wellness, to shine in their own unique radiance!
