Massage Therapy
The benefits of therapeutic massage are not a recent discovery. Its value is recognized throughout the world and many cultures have practised it for centuries.
​
A calm and relaxed body can bring about changes beyond the purely physical. Although the effects of a therapeutic massage are often dramatic in terms of relief of pain or tension, many clients also notice general changes in the way they cope with the stresses and strains of modern life.
A relaxed body allows the the mind to come to rest and take stock of the activity we surround ourselves with. In turn, a calm mind can be instrumental in fighting off physical ailments.

NAET
NAET stands for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques formulated by Dr. Devi Nambudripad. NAET is a safe and painless way to detect and eliminate all types of allergies. It can be safely used for anyone, even a one day old infant. Many of us are allergic to common substances. It can relieve your suffering from known allergies and find suspected or hidden allergies.|
Allergens are cleared (treated) one at a time with this technique, in a specific sequence beginning with foods. NAET is a simple painless two-step process. First your allergens are identified or confirmed using kinesiology and vials of substances. Second, treatment with acupressure or acupuncture “reprograms” your body. Then you avoid contact with the allergen for only 25 hours. When retested, better than 90% of people are allergy free. Treatment usually lasts for a lifetime.
This remarkable treatment helps people regain health and enjoyment in many areas. For example, concentration improves and moods become more even for adults and children; headaches go away; energy returns – the benefits are many.
For more information about NAET see Dr. Nambudripad’s website. Jane studied with Dr. Nambudripad and has used these techniques in Halifax, Nova Scotia for over 20 years. Please note that although Jane is trained in NAET she is not currently listed as a Practitioner on this website because she has not been to California recently
Acupuncture
Acupuncture, acupressure, diet, exercise and herbal medicine are part of a system of medical knowledge which has helped millions for over 4,000 years. Each of us is an energetic system. Our “Qi”, universal life force, circulates through meridian pathways. If Qi is imbalanced or blocked, we have pain or illness. During your treatment, acu-points are stimulated to improve your energy and restore good health. Acupressure and non-needle treatments are available choices at Jane’s office at the Hydrostone Market in the Northend of Halifax
​
Stimulation of the acu-points causes definite physiological responses in brain activity, neuro-transmitters, blood chemistry, endocrine functions, blood pressure, heart rate, and immunological response.
