The centre – a partnership venture of Jodi Jones, Megan MacRae and Thom Grace – appears to be an all-in-one alternative healing clinic that employs methods “from faraway places with strange sounding names” that many of us have never heard before. In addition to the partners, there will be six other professions available in the broad range of disciplines. Megan and Jodi are no strangers to Shelburne. Megan has practised locally for a decade, in partnership with Jodi for the past five years. Thom, who previously had a studio in the Caribbean, is a Master Reiki practitioner who also specializes in Shakra. Some of us, conditioned to rely on traditional internal medicine, might have a tendency to scoff when told that these non-invasive techniques work. But there used to a physician in Shelburne who had become familiar with the ancient Asian and Indian methods, who said that he would be willing to practise them “if the College (of physicians and surgeons) would allow it).” And there are testimonials available on the Internet from people who have received treatment, including acupuncture for addiction treatment among other things. The new centre practises acupuncture, acupressure, registered massage therapy, aromatherapy, reiki, Indian head massage, medical intuition, psychotherapy, chakra balancing, EFT and reconnecting healing, according to a news release. As well, “We have a studio in which we will be offering daily Yoga , Tai Chi and Zumba classes,” the release says, and “our Center has retail space where we will sell supplements, Crystals, precious stones and custom jewelry. Partner Jodi Jones says there will also be a variety of programs including art lessons for children, as well as musical ones such as guitar lessons and singing – programs “designed for and focused on personal growth and development.” The Free Press two weeks ago featured Grade 12 artist Diane Davies with her unfinished mural at the centre. It depicted the natural interconnection of the whole being, based on the lesson of the tree from the leaf and branch system through to the roots. That completed mural now graces one wall at the centre. Diane had been the winner of a competition at CDDHS for a design and creation of a mural for the yoga studio. Her design won her $150 in cash plus $350 in services at the clinic. The partners evidently believe in sharing. They will be asking visitors to enter the name and contact information of someone who would likely benefit from the healing systems, but might not be able to afford it. In a program the centre calls Helping Hands, one name will be drawn each month, and services will be offered to that person for free. The Sunday opening is this Sunday, Dec. 15, between 1:30 and 4 p.m. By Wes keller   --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2013-12-11 15:48:46 Post date GMT: 2013-12-11 20:48:46 Post modified date: 2013-12-18 14:10:09 Post modified date GMT: 2013-12-18 19:10:09 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
