Reclaiming the human spirit through discovery and compassion!

Kripalu Massage is a meditative medium tissue Swedish massage reflecting a yogic approach to healing, emphasizing the integration of body, mind and spirit. Skillful massage techniques, guided breath awareness, imagery, and a meditative focus on physical sensation release pain and tension and improves well being. Beverley uses elements of many modalities such as trigger points, reflexology, aromatherapy and the Trager approach to body work which is a mind-body approach to movement education. Often mental-emotional issues are held in the body as pain or tension. These issues may be transformed by releasing blockages in the body and mind together, creating more balance, wellness and peace.

Sandplay therapy, a psychotherapeutic approach for children and adults was developed by Dora Kalff who studied with Carl Jung. In a "free and protected space" you may create scenes by molding wet or dry sand in trays and positioning miniature figures and objects. These sand pictures mediate between your inner and outer worlds to promote healing and wholeness. With the soothing effects of sand and water and transforming archetypal symbols, connect with your true self and resolve core life issues at a deep unconscious level.

Beverley offers treatments at Lotus Wings and Whispering Cedars Healing & Retreat Centre, Concession 2A Carleton Place. House calls are available for Kripalu Massage and Reiki.
