Typically there are two consultations needed - the first one (lasting up to 1 to 2 hours) which consists of a range of assessments and initial provision for an induction plan. The second visit is a follow up - we will evaluate how you did in the first week and will provide you with a detailed nutrition and exercise plan.  We will need to see you once a week or once every other week - depending on the issues at hand.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" in specific ways and on specific areas of the body and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Consultation and counseling on the many strategies to alleviate stress.  An initial consultation usually takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the issue.

Maria has worked with movement therapy, dance and kinesiology in Brazil for many years before coming to Canada.  Her trademark classes were enjoyed by all.  These classes are typically 1 hour long, with appropriate background music (soft) and dim lights.  It includes a series of specific movements and respiration to elicit the sensation of well being and to produce segmental and total body relaxation.  It not only relaxes the mind and the body, but it also re-aligns the body and gives the muscles a gentle and effective work out.  It is a wonderful experience!
