The purpose of Homeopathy is to restore the body to homeostasis or a balanced healthy state. The symptoms of disease are the body's own defensive attempt to correct imbalances, rather than enemies to be defeated. As a homeopath, Jackie regards symptoms as evidence that the body is trying to heal itself. Homeopathy is very individualized so she looks for symptoms that are characteristic to you rather than common to a disease. By using these symptoms, Jackie can find the best overall match to a remedy picture. The remedy acts as a natural stimulus to correct those imbalances, rather than suppress the symptoms. Jackie is a Certified Classic Homeopath.

Jennifer Collett

Healing Energy Massage works with the physical and energy bodies, simultaneously clearing restrictions at both levels. Just as Science has proven the benefits of massage, so too it is beginning to uncover the reality of energy medicine through the study of Thermodynamics and Quantum Physics. Healing Touch Energy Massage addresses physical pain, rehabilitation and stress. It is a system of manual manipulations of the body’s soft tissue to restore balance and improve circulation nervous system and increases range of motion. Increased circulation aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells and cleanses the tissue of metabolic waste. Massage relaxes tense spastic muscles, soothes the nervous system and increases the range of motion. Jen is a Certified Relaxation Therapist.
