Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a natural medicine that has withstood thousands of years of practice and results. Acupuncture is empowering in that it tells your body how to heal. It can target muscle aches and pains directly, and it can also regulate the nervous systems, transitioning the body to move more into the calm, restful state that stimulates healing.

The reiki perspective views wellness as a whole, impacting the body, mind, emotions and spirit creating many beneficial results including feelings of peace, security and well being.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a trance-like state of focus, concentration, and diminished peripheral awareness which helps them discover and utilize resources within themselves that can help them achieve desired behavioral changes or better manage pain or other physical concerns.

Robyn’s keen interest in anatomy, movement and breath laid the foundation to become an RMT. She’s worked health and wellness modalities since 2005, and became an RMT in 2019. She believes that therapeutic massage is an effective way to help your body reduce tension and its destabilizing effects. Regular massage is a form of enjoyable preventative self care.

Employing massage techniques which can increase blood and lymph flow, relax the central nervous system, and reduce muscular tension, Robyn helps you help your body to create an overall sense of comfort and wellbeing.

When she is not in her treatment room, Robyn can often be found on her bicycle: bikecamping in beautiful BC, bike commuting around Salmon Arm, or daydreaming and scheming about more ways to get into the forest.
