Joffre began his Reiki practice as a former school teacher and retired training and development consultant with the federal public service. For over 40 years, his mission had been to help others learn how to be happy and healthy, as well as productive and successful, in school and in work.

A lifelong learner, Joffre pursued his own development, completing certification programs in Human Resources Management and in Organization Development with National Training Labs in the USA. He was first introduced to Reiki when providing long-term care to a relative who had been experiencing the benefits of Reiki treatment  for several years. The encounter led him to begin research on Reiki as a healing modality. As a result, Joffre embarked on his own Reiki journey and has now received his Level II training. He intends to complete his training toward becoming a Reiki Master in the next few years. Joffre is now a registered Reiki Practitioner having received his accreditation from the Canadian Reiki Association. He treats clients at the Lotus Wings Centre in Perth and the Riverside Wellness Clinic in Ottawa.

In addition to his practice, Joffre acts as Marketing Manager for Reiki Associates.

Karin Nakamura - SoundSwept

About Karin Nakamura

Sound Balancing is a new tuning fork modality introduced by Eileen McKusick, pioneer in the field of sound therapy research.  It involves the therapeutic application of the pure tones of medical tuning forks, both on and around the body, for the purpose of supporting health and well-being.  Karin is delighted to bring this exciting new therapeutic modality to Canada!

As one who has always been interested in healing and energy work, Karin draws on the knowledge and experience gained during years of exploring a variety of health and wellbeing options, including training in shiatsu massage.  But it is with reiki and sound balancing that she has found her true home.  By combining these two modalities, Karin offers a potent and unique experience to her clients.  Working within the biofield provides access to so many dimensions of a person’s being, and opens possibilities for change and shift that other modalities can’t always provide.  Karin considers it a privilege and an honour to create the sacred space in which your work can occur.  So don’t delay, treat yourself to a Sound Balancing session today, and “Tune into Yourself”!

What is Sound Balancing?

Sound Balancing is a new therapeutic tuning fork modality which addresses distortions in a person’s electromagnetic field and returns them to harmony, balance and wholeness.  What makes it unique is the understanding that designated areas of the biofield store information related to specific emotions, relationships and time periods.  Energy knots, pockets, sinkholes and other kinds of dissonance are created by repetitive dysfunctional behaviours,events in our past which triggered a strong emotional response, or issues we have “put aside” in order to get on with our lives.  Often they are tied to situations which were never fully understood, processed, or healed.  By freeing up the energy engaged in holding these patterns we can release our natural state of health and achieve a vibrant balance in our bodies and lives.

 “Frequency + Intent = Healing” says Jonathan Goldman, authority on sound healing and a pioneer in the field of harmonics.  So while being in the presence of these pure, crystalline tones is magical, coupling them with a clear intention is what makes this process so potent.

Because the biofield appears to contain information related to the physical, mental, emotional, genetic, historical, environmental and relational aspects of an individual, the application of sound in the field can work on all of these levels of a person concurrently.  “The sum total of receiving a sound balancing treatment is that our energies become centered, balanced and integrated. The nervous system resets into a more relaxed place, resulting in immediate and sometimes profound relief from pain, tension and anxiety. In addition, one is left with an awareness of the workings of one’s bodymind, which can make it easier to recognize and overcome self defeating thinking and behavior.” (McKusick, 2012)

Sound Balancing reconnects you with your own infinite potential.  So “Tune Into Yourself” and book your session today!

Treatment Options

Full Body Balancing

Tuning forks are used both diagnostically and therapeutically to locate and correct distortions in the body’s energy field, or biofield.  Vibrating forks are passed over the body, starting at the edge of the biofield (on average, 5 to 6 feet to either side of the body) and moving inwards towards the midline of the body.  Sessions are conducted on a massage table – you will at times be asked to lie on your stomach as well as on your back, so comfortable clothing is recommended. Each session lasts about 1.5 hours.  Depending on the depth of work being done, often it is not possible to balance the entire body in one session, particularly in the beginning. Special pricing is offered on packages of 3 sessions to facilitate a more complete experience.

Per Session (90 minutes)                           $  85
Package of 3 – 90 minute sessions            $ 225

Sonic Face Rejuvenation

Sound is run through a quartz crystal into acupuncture points on the face, neck, and scalp.   The crystal amplifies the sound current and delivers it in potent pulses.  As a result, blood and lymph flow to the area is stimulated, resulting in an immediate diminishment of fine lines and tension.

Repeated application of the process results in muscle retraining and can prevent habitual frowning, considerably softening lines between the eyebrows.

Because many body meridians end on the face, a full-body relaxation and rejuvenation is also experienced.
