Integrative healing, with Sally Ross!

It’s great to have Sally Ross join the Directory!

Sally offers Integrative Healing, along with a free initial consultation. She explains:

As a registered Integrative Health Coach, I help individuals who are struggling with health challenges to identify the most effective internal and external resources that they can access to feel better, and to confidently make life changes that foster their wellness. I combine evidence-based coaching methods with knowledge of dietary approaches, supplementation and diverse modalities of healing—supporting clients to feel strong and empowered in their path forward.

Sessions take place via online webinar or at my home office in Victoria, British Columbia.

My clients learn to have a more compassionate relationship with their bodies, to better trust their own instincts, to implement self-care practices into their routines and to track their progress towards wellness with excitement for the future.

The healing process will look different for everyone and depends on many factors. I work with my clients in mutual partnership to simplify the challenges, identify root causes and validate how much capacity they have to accelerate their healing, vitality and growth.

I have a personal lived experience of recovery from chronic pain and illness, anxiety and depression. My journey has taught me so much about what it means to truly heal. I would love to speak with you about what you are going through and what your needs might be.

Luna & acupuncture – good place to start!

When you think about healing & you think about acupuncture, perhaps you think about what Luna offers at Medicine Nest.

But did you realize there might be more available to you, for paying for it? Luna explains:

Did you know that acupuncture is covered by most extended benefit plans? It is common for plans to cover up to 500$ worth of sessions!

Treatments can also have coverage through ICBC injury claims!

✦

As a Registered Acupuncturist, all of my treatments are eligible for medical coverage.

Check with your unique plan and get the most out of your health benefits!

Experience Dien Chan with Ali!

When you look through the Spirit of Victoria Directory & see all the different things people offer & the different healing modalities, you sometimes see something that’s a little… different.

When I saw Ali Kay’s profile, I wanted to find out more about facial reflexology, so I got a session…wow!

Her modality is called Dien Chan. Vietnamese tradition, tailored by AIRFI (International Academy of Italian Facial Reflexology) to treat zones on the body, incorporating reflex points that relieve pain or discomfort in the muscular/skeletal system to internal organs. Between the relaxing session, the energy the treatment left me with, and Ali’s smooth & professional way of doing things – it was great!

She offers other treatments as well, especially related to skincare – drop her a note today!

Need a place for your practice? Your workshop? Your presentation?

Have you been looking for a space for your practice?

This might be a great place to start!

Arne has rooms at Horizon Group, over on Cook Street. Clean, comfortable, easy to find, and surrounded by other practitioners with a warm & welcoming energy, waiting for you to add your energy to it!

There is also a classroom & a board room.

Check it out!

Other meeting spaces for you to check out – you can rent the space at the Medicine Nest, downtown, Here’s the details.

Andrew at Bubby Rose’s in Cook Street Village tells me he’s open to have meetings in the evenings there – they close at 6, so it’s available! Drop by & see him (and tell him you read it here, ’cause he’ll wonder.)

Check out the space at Hidden Gem & at Westcoast Creative Spirits & 7 Rays.

Telemedicine is here!

It was great to hear from Dr. Ariel & hear about her new offering:

Hi Ian!
I have a new hopefully more helpful service for people. Telemedicine – where people can get in touch with my by phone or video conferencing. Here is the little image I made for it, to explain it. Please feel free to add it to the newsletter or distribute it to anyone you feel it could help.

Much love,
Ariel

A notice & a warning….

This is a tough one, but an important message – I have heard from five different practitioners on SOV who have heard from this caller – and it’s a problem, my friends.

Here is a note from Dinah, which echoes what the others have said:

ATTN ENERGY WORK/BODY PRACTITIONERS:
I received a call from a man on my cell phone about a month ago claiming he was a spiritual Guru from Tibet and that he received my number in meditation. He sounds friendly, compelling and sincere. I spoke with him on the phone for longer than I’d like to admit as he seemed interesting and nice. He’s not.

He is specifically seeking women in Reiki/Tantric fields and taking personal information from the internet to contact them. I’ve spoken to other people in Victoria who’ve also received this call, many of the calls leading to sexual references and a forum on the internet of horrible stories about women who went far enough to meet up with him at his “retreat” in Sedona, Arizona or Florida.

He is a sexual predator. Do NOT engage with him. I have since reported it to VicPD – if you feel comfortable reporting it, I encourage you to do so. Perhaps if we all reported these calls, they’d take it more seriously.

If you feel icky or shame for having engaged with him, I see you. If you need support, talk to a trusted loved one or counsellor. Remember, it’s not your shame to hold. You have done nothing wrong.

Please share widely with anyone you know, particularly people in this field. Let’s keep each other safe 💛

Explore….On Spirits’ Wings, with Catherine!

I am so excited to add my old friend Catherine Sihoe to the SOV Directory!

Her practice – called On Spirits’ Wings – uses her ability to contact & communicate with spirits on the other side, which she shares with the people she reads for.

I like what Nicole says:

(The reading) confirmed my own sense about what was going on and I feel completely at peace with her passing now, even as I’m still sad about her no longer being here on earth.

Thank you so much for sharing your gift to sense across the veil and translate it for us!
Much love to you.
Nicole Moen

And Kellee added:

After reading it I knew Catherine was definitely genuine. That is very hard to come by. I really appreciated what she did for me that day. I have never forgotten. Also Catherine is a lovely lady who loves to help others all she can.
Thank you, Catherine!
Love Kellee
