Valerie Rose Dyer is a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CTCMPAO). With more than 20 years of experience treating a wide range of health issues Valerie has helped many patients with their healing process using acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, TDP therapy, qi gong, reiki and gua sha.

TCM acupuncture treatments are always individualized, every protocol depends on each individual’s symptoms, constititution and patterns being presented, the whole person is consider and treatments are designed to treat the patients symptoms and underlying root cause.

Traditional Chinese Acupuncture has been used to successfully to treat millions of people over the past 4,000 years. It is an effective form of medical treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system as a safe and non-invasive approach. Traditional Chinese medical texts say: that pain results from the congestion, stagnation, and blockage of vital energy, vital fluids, lymph, phlegm, and blood. If pain is the essence of disease, then suffering is a result of obstructed or irregular flow in the body energy network. Acupuncture needles inserted along specific meridians can bring balance to the body’s energy network, improve vitality, blood circulation and restore the natural balance of the body’s mechanisms.

It is my pleasure to provide a professional certified Reflexology service at Therapeutic Healing Arts!

Reflexology is a focused pressure technique directed at the feet & is based on the premise that there are zones & reflexes on different parts of the body which correspond to and are relative to all parts, glands and organs of the entire body.

When the reflexes are stimulated, the body’s natural electrical energy works along the nervous system to clear any energies in the corresponding zones. Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress, activating a parasympathetic response clearing & releasing a physiological change in the body. With stress removed and circulation enhanced, the body is allowed to return to a state of homeostasis which is the automatic process that the body incorporates to bring it back to the “normal” state.

The benefits of Reflexology are: relaxation with the removal of stress, enhanced circulation, assists the body to normalize the metabolism naturally and compliments all other healing modalities. General or specific stress (more than 80%) of North American disease can be related to stress) Stress can affect all reflexes.

Some experiences of Reflexology with Lori are: “Reflexology with Lori absolutely settles my central nervous system” Retired Business Woman.

“Reflexology with Lori. Mental Health: should be an essential service” Gentleman in Sports Industry.

“It’s like your playing the piano in tune with your instrument. Very deep & thorough; Lori is very energetic & connected” Manager Trucking Company.

“I haven’t been this relaxed since the last time I was here” Doctor.

“It takes the mental stress away. I feel so relaxed” Police Officer.

“Your Reflexology, Lori, was Bang On with what I needed” Military.

“After Reflexology with Lori, I can still feel the energy working days later” Perth Business Owner.

Monika Tinneberg has performed BodyWork for over 30 years.  Those decades of practise have led to an unique style that is highly effective and supremely relaxing.

The predominant influence in her style of work comes from Chinese Therapeutic Massage and Myofascial Release Therapy.  The treatments are at times vigorous, yet incredibly sedating, as the the larger muscle groups are ‘cajoled’ into releasing, plus taking extra time to work those contracted areas means a deeper tissue level is reached without undue pain.  This results in your body truly being able to relax, take the treatment in and ultimately be more effective in affecting changes in the tissue, especially good for pain reduction, compacted joints, spine and neck and seized or contracted muscles.

Monika listens to the feedback signals that each body on her table sends, telling her when to release, when to move in deeper, when to leave or return.  This enables an extremely tailored treatment as your body signals are listened to and lead the way. 
Monika has studied Chinese Therapeutic Massage with Chongding Zhang, a traditional Chinese Medical doctor from China, who is also a Qi Gong Master.  She apprenticed 1 year with Bill Rhodenizer of Fascial North,  a physiotherapist in Ottawa, who practises solely Myofascial Release Therapy.   She has done course work with the John Barnes passive Myofascial therapy seminars.  She has completed course work with the Upledger Institute in lymphatic drainage and complimented that with further lymphatic drainage coursework with Janet McFarland, owner and teacher of Cookstown Physiotherapy.
