Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a primary health care system that involves the use of natural therapies and medicines to help stimulate the body’s own healing powers and maintain optimal health. Treatments offered include IV Therapy, Vitamin Injections, Acupuncture, Mesotherapy, Cupping and Laboratory Testing.


Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a 4000 year old natural treatment that helps balance Qi (the universal life energy in the body). It can help reduce stress, increase energy, improve sleep, decrease pain, and even prepare the body for fertility. Traditional Chinese Acupuncture treatments include the use of sterile needles, cupping, electro-stimulation (TENS), gua sha, infrared heat lamps, ear seeds and more.


Massage Therapy

Give your body the treatment it needs and deserves! All our Registered Massage Therapists have over 2200 hours of training. We offer deep tissue, relaxation, prenatal and hot stone massages. You can opt to add cupping, essential oils or hot stones for an extra $10. Each room is equipped with a hydraulic table, luxury linen, dimmable lighting and in-ceiling speakers.


Facial Treatments

Natural facial treatments such as Microneedling, Facial Acupuncture and Mesotherapy have been known to help the skin age gracefully and reduce signs of aging. Our trained Practitioners will assess your skin, go over any contraindications and, if appropriate, will recommend a safe and suitable treatment for you.

Hi, I am Charlene, a dedicated and passionate Massage Therapist who honestly believes that massage is not a luxury, but a fundamental part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Taking time to care for your body can have a powerful impact on how you move, feel, and manage daily stress. My goal is to help you feel better in your body, move with more ease, and leave each session feeling relaxed, supported, and empowered.

I take a thoughtful and client-centred approach to every massage. Before each session, I take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and assess your posture as well as areas of tension or discomfort. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, muscle tightness, stress, or simply need time to unwind, I tailor each treatment to meet your individual needs. No two bodies are the same, and I believe your massage experience should reflect that.

Massage therapy can play a key role in managing stress, improving posture, easing muscle pain, and supporting an active lifestyle. Whether you are new to massage or make it a regular part of your wellness routine, I am honoured to be part of your journey. I enjoy building lasting relationships with clients and supporting them as they work toward feeling their best. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience the benefits of massage therapy in a way that feels caring, personalized, and truly supportive.
