To fulfill our mission, the Nova Holistic Centre currently provides the following services:

Reiki:  

A Reiki treatment usually lasts sixty minutes. The Reiki practitioner places his/her hands gently and passively on different locations on the body, usually beginning at the head. Each position is held for at least five minutes. Reiki is different from traditional massage because the person remains clothed. Unlike massage, Reiki does not require any form of manipulation of tissue or muscle so the hands remain still. Reiki will even flow through a plaster cast. It is common for the person being treated to experience sensations such as warmth or tingling flowing from the Reiki practitioner's hands. Most people report entering a very deep state of relaxation. Those familiar with meditation say they enter a deep meditative state. The mind calms, the breathing slows down, and a feeling of well-being and centeredness and a better sense of perspective is attained. By receiving a one-hour session of Reiki, one physiologically attains many of the benefits equivalent to three to four hours sleep, such as increased oxygen supply to the blood and cells. This clinical observation, combined with the meditative state, makes Reiki a most effective natural stress reliever. Regular use of Reiki leads to an increase in general vitality and well-being and a sense of inner peace. It greatly accelerates and promotes the healing process and regeneration of tissue, and is capable of improving the quality of one's life to an amazing degree.

Reflexology: A natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes on the hands and feet which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology can relieve tension, improve circulation and help normalize functions of the related areas of the body. It is believed that Reflexology was practiced two to four thousand years ago in India, China and Egypt and appeared in North America about 75 years ago. Therapist Linda Dorge

Hypnotherapy: An ancient art of communicating with the Unconscious Mind. The Hypnotherapist assists the individual to enter into a dream-like state. For centuries, human kind has been using altered states of consciousness to assist in bringing healing and balance to the Body, Mind & Spirit. It is in this experience that the Unconscious Mind releases limiting beliefs, habits and emotions. Hypnotherapy is a highly effective way to create deep long term change. This is a very empowering process, and since all learning, all behavior and all change is unconscious, and the mind & body affect each other, hypnotherapy has been very successful with a wide variety of health and emotional issues. Some benefits of hypnotherapy include increased motivation, a healthier flow of energy, greater confidence and self-esteem, smoking cessation, weight loss, habit control, as well as the resolution of deep psychological issues among others.

Iridology & Nutritional Counselling: Proclaimed through the ages as the "windows to the soul, the eyes are now acknowledged as mirrors of the body and likened to miniature television screens recording the condition of the various organs and tissues throughout the body. The health analysis is made through a careful examination of the different markings and pigments in the iris which reflect hereditary tendencies and genetic strengths and weaknesses. The iris records information about the state and functioning of every organ in the body as well as levels of inflammation and toxicity. This enables the underlying cause(s) for symptoms we may experience to be detected and removed using naturopathic remedial programs specific to each person’s needs. Therapist Linda Dorge

Yoga: A holistic system for the benefit of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Yoga teaches self-awareness through a series of exercises, breathing techniques, postures, relaxation, and meditation. The word yoga means "union," and in the largest sense of the word means being at one, at complete harmony, with one’s self and everything and everyone in creation. The many schools of yoga are differentiated by their approach - whether; for example, whether they place the emphasis on breathing, meditation, posture, relaxation, or spiritual aspects.
