Foot & Facial Reflexology

Find your balance! Relaxing energizing sessions to assist healing on all levels of body, mind, emotions and spirit. What is Reflexology? There are reflexes in the feet, hands, ears, and face that correspond to every part, gland, and organ in the body. Through the use of pressure on reflexes, it helps to relieve stress, improve circulation and balance the body systems. Through reflexology the client experiences deep relaxation which promotes healing in the body. Other benefits include: Cleansing and detoxifies the body, improves digestion, improves urination, boosts immune function and helps to balance the body systems naturally, without adverse side effects. Foot Reflexology is an hour session and stimulates 70 reflexes in the feet relating to the whole body and facial reflexology is a half hour session working with 16 reflexes on the face. Our body is energy in motion. Intuitive energy sessions help to clear and balance stuck energy in areas of the body. Life force energy flows through the body system better promoting health in body, mind, emotions and spirit. **Most sessions include the application of essential oils that enhance the benefits of the techniques offered and bring their own amazing health-promoting benefits. Combination sessions may include techniques such as foot or facial reflexology, aromatherapy and intuitive energy techniques. The Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of nine highly immune enhancing essential oils that are applied to the spine and feet and are massaged into the body using specific techniques. This stimulates energy impulses and disperses the oils along the nervous system throughout the entire body. The oils assist the body through detoxification to bring balance and harmony to the physical, mental and emotional body systems.

I am Trish Scoular, a Registered Professional Counselor who specializes in Anxiety & Depression, since 2014. I develop a treatment plan that includes appropriate interventions and techniques that specifically address depression and for each of the anxiety disorders. It’s important to understand the root of anxiety and depression so we can treat it accordingly with proper medical necessity and appropriate treatment. My goal when working with clients is to help them find a clear path to reducing symptoms and function better on a day-to-day basis. We work together to address the many conditions that coexist with anxiety and depression, while developing a plan of action that meets the goals we establish together. My other training is in abuse, domestic violence, youth, family, community based counselling, addictions & recovery and couples (I am currently learning the Gottman method). I also work with clients who need transitional Life Coaching, which is focussed on helping you achieve your goals and dreams.

Body Alignment

At the Healing Garden I offer complementary and alternative healing therapies including Therapeutic Touch, Touch for Health, Stress Indicator Point System (SIPS) , Soul Retrieval and journey work. I use a combination of these techniques to assist your healing journey. Therapeutic Touch is effective in promoting relaxation. It decreases stress, anxiety, pain and accelerates healing. As a recognized complimentary therapy it can be used in conjunction with standard medical care. Therapeutic Touch is a safe, non-invasive healing practice that was developed in the early 1970’s by Dolores Krieger, a professor of nursing and Dora Kunz, an intuitive healer. Touch for Health is designed to release pain and stress. Muscle testing feedback techniques are used to discern the sources of stress which lead to chronic pain, mental clouding and various stages of disease. The techniques used may include the use of acupressure points, working with muscle tissue or a variety of other corrections. Touch For Health came from the work of two chiropractors in the 1960’s. Dr. George Goodheart and Dr. John Thie began using muscle tests as a way of assessing meridian energy from Chinese therapies such as acupuncture. Touch For Health is a powerful healing method that helps to identify not only the sources of stress affecting the body but also how to correct the imbalance created by it. SIPS . Stress Indicator Point System uses a combination of muscle testing and acupressure points. SIPS can be effective for pain relief, improving cognitive function and assist in balancing hormones and emotions. Ian Stubbings developed the SIPS system in 1992. SIPS uses acupressure points to locate where the body is experiencing stress. It identifies the type of stress involved that is impeding healing and releases the stress so that the healing can occur. Soul Retrieval is done with journey work. Contact for more information.

Functional Medicine & Nutrition

Welcome! My name is Silvia, and I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I have  been a practitioner of natural health and healing for as long as I can remember. Much of my determination for better health comes from a period in my early life where i struggled with health and emotional issues.  In my journey to wellness, I learned much about myself and what fuels un-wellness in so many of us. Subsequently, I found I wanted to help others in their health struggles,  by educating them and supporting them as much as I was able.  From that time on, natural nutrition and health has become a passion of mine.  Mainly self-taught, many years ago I made the decision to acquire accreditation , so that I could have the ability to teach others more authentically. I specialize in mental health and digestive wellness, and in educating you to understand the connection between the two in getting to your root cause. I also offer assistance with various other health concerns including weight management and blood sugar imbalances.In addition to  my nutrition training, I am certified as an Energy Practitioner and  Therapeutic Touch Practitioner. .I personally  incorporate and study different wellness modalities in my daily life, such as herbal Medicine,  meditation, and Yoga.   I love spending time in nature, especially  going on long hikes or early morning runs.  I love reading and researching all aspects of nutrition and wellness, with a good fiction book thrown in there at times for some balance! I currently live in Saltspring Island, BC, but am available for long-distance mentorship if needed.  My goal is to help you take charge of your health and wellness, and for me, that means, helping  you to be self-empowered , not feel like a victim. I honestly believe your body has the ability to re-balance itself, but it is up to us to give it the proper tools to do so. I hope to assist you on your journey to wellness. Best wishes,Silvia**I work with all kinds of diets and preferences; individualized programs are based on your needs
