Holistic Nutrition

A Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) is trained in natural nutrition and complementary therapies to educate and empower individuals about the health impacts and benefits of optimal nutrition.

An RHN guides their clients through the often confusing and contradictory maze of vast amounts of information from books, magazines, diets and supplements on the market.

“One man’s food is another man’s poison”.  This famous quote reminds us how unique we all are and no single diet can work for everyone.

As an RHN, Sam works with you to complete a detailed nutrition and lifestyle assessment and then compiles an extensive individualized nutrition and lifestyle plan to optimize your health.  She also specializes in pediatric assessments and assisting parents in developing healthy eating habits for their children.

Reiki

The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, do not be angry
Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work and be kind to people…
~ Dr. Mikao Usui

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a method of natural healing; a Japanese technique, rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s, that also promotes stress reduction and relaxation.

Ki is life energy.  The word means the same as Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit and Ti in Hawaiian.  It has also been given many other names in various cultures.  It is also known as Universal Life Force Energy.  Rei is called the “God-consciousness”, therefore, Reiki is also defined as spiritually guided energy.

There are many kinds of energy healing which use Ki or life energy, but not all use Reiki.  Reiki is guided by the Higher Power and can only be channeled by someone that has been attuned to it.

Reiki works by laying on of hands to link you to this energy to balance your body’s natural energies for healing the mind, body and spirit.

Sam is an Usui Reiki Master and a Karuna^® Reiki Master.  Please contact her for more information, to book an appointment or to inquire about teaching a Reiki class to you or your group.
