Tony S.,
R. TCMP, R. Ac
Tony(Tong Shen) received his Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) training under the Ding-style Rolling Technique lineage in Shanghai,China, and was mentored by several renowned TCM masters. Throughout his journey, he has remained true to his teachers’ guiding principle:

Though the path of healing is long, he remains devoted to pursuing knowledge and relieving patient suffering with sincerity and skill.

Joanne O.,
Certified Reflexologist
Joanne Ouellette is a Registered Reflexology Therapist and a member of the Reflexology Association of Canada. Joanne’s interest in the medical field started at a young age while navigating a difficult health crisis within her immediate family fueling her passion for helping others. She started her career in the health field after graduating in 1991 as a medical assistant. In 2020, she graduated from Podology leading her to gain an appreciation and understanding of how important feet are in overall health and wellbeing. This then sparked Joanne to enroll in the foot reflexology course, which she graduated in the beginning of 2023.
Reflexology works to relieve tension in your feet, but the effects expand beyond your feet. By working with the intricate connections of the body within the feet via the nervous system, foot reflexology has shown to effectively refine balance, increase circulation, relieve tension, help with sleep, reduces stress, help manage anxiety and/or depression, and manage pain.
With Joanne, your feet are in good hands. She loves helping others and has a strong desire to leave people better off than when they found her.
