Meadow Dove Wellness https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/business/meadow-dove-wellness/ Wed, 10 May 2023 19:35:59 +0000 https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/?post_type=wyz_business&p=1623 read moreMeadow Dove Wellness]]>

Meadow Dove Lang (founder of Meadow Dove Wellness) loves to support heart-centered folks (who are ready to include themselves in their circle of care and prioritize their well-being) shift their relationship with their stress and challenges so that they can enjoy more ease, joy, and fulfillment (in any/all areas of their life).

Drawing from a lifetime of study, and more than 30 years since her first official training (as a peer counselor in grade 10!), Dove lovingly supports people to bravely embrace their authenticity and enjoy greater levels of harmony within themselves, which then invites positive influence on every other aspect of life (for example relationships with others, occupation, etc).

She brings a wealth of knowledge in the realms of whole-istic health and wellness (too many trainings to list here! Most notably as a BodyMind Coach, Registered Massage Therapist, and Certified Yoga Teacher), as well as a lovingly powerful presence that allows the people she works with to dive deep and access inner reserves of wisdom, clarity, integration, and light-heartedness previously unattainable.  Dove honours (and works with) the Whole Self (Body-Mind-Soul).  This is more than just a job for her, it is her life’s work (both professionally and personally!).
We are at a critical time in our global history to connect and amplify our intuitive insights so we can discern truth amidst the misinformation and fiercely align with what’s most important.  Dove is especially passionate about helping “the healers and the helpers” find balance, friendship, and trust within themselves, as the benefits are amplified out in the world.
There are currently several ways to work with Dove, including private sessions (in person or via Zoom/phone), multi-month and full-year programs, retreats, group workshops, and more!  All of her offerings are personalized, responsive, and customizable.
To honour the courage it takes to reach out, and to get a sense of what working together can feel like (to see if it’s a good fit), Dove offers a complimentary clarity call ~ no strings attached!  It is her gift, to help expand the wave of kindness we’re a part of.  Contact her to book (and/or find online booking links via her website).
For more information, and plenty of complimentary (free of charge) resources such as guided meditations and more, please go to www.meadowdove.ca

Thank you!

Brian Pack https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/business/brian-pack/ Tue, 31 Jan 2023 17:12:50 +0000 https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/?post_type=wyz_business&p=1462 read moreBrian Pack]]> ‘Brian’s experience and knowledge as a bodyworker are amazing. It’s as if his fingers have eyes that guide him to the root of the problem. His skillful touch pulled me back from a crippling edge. That’s why I call him “the bone whisperer.”‘ April Curtis

• Serving Salt Spring Island since 1992 when in Canada.
• 32 years of international, broad-based clinical experience.
• Fast, acute/chronic pain relief, joint release, spinal restructuring, and trauma release.

All wrapped up in the best massage you always wanted but didn’t know where to find. Whatever you know of hands-on therapies, you will discover innovative variations of them seamlessly conjoined in my always safe, all-encompassing approach.

Before entering private practice, I studied traditional manual therapies and related disciplines in Asia for seven years. That included extensive Hatha yoga instruction in India.

• Actively licensed in the State of Hawaii since 2004.
• 12 years accredited as Maui’s top massage practitioner.
• Many doctors’ first choice for their patients’ problems.
• Frequently referred patients by physiotherapists.
• US no-fault Auto, Workers Comp, and some private Canadian insurance reimbursable.

Use of my professional title is disallowed in BC and Ontario. I’m only permitted to write I’m a ‘massage specialist’ ;))

Testimonials: I’m extremely grateful for all the recommendations I’ve collected from many Islanders over the years. Here’s the last one from 2021. It’s plain and simple:

‘I have been searching for someone to help correct several problematic areas. So far, I have had two thorough sessions with Brian that have helped immensely. The most significant problematic area for me was my left hip. With his training, dedication, and intuitive skills, Brian worked wonders. I can now sleep on this side, whereas before, I couldn’t. I’m very pleased with Brian’s skills and talent.’ Danny Pasichnyk

I maintain stringent sanitary protocols. Those include:
• A single-use plastic cover around the table under the bottom sheet.
• Sterilizing with alcohol wipes everything a client might touch or come near.
• All the table linens go to Salt Spring Dry Cleaners.

Price: $110 per hour. Two-hour minimum. Quarter-hourly incremental charges beyond that, just like your mechanic.

There is a $10 per treatment laundry surcharge.

This winter, I’m also available on weekend days as well as Mon-Fri, days and evenings.

Moss Dance Tui Na (Massage) & Cupping https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/business/moss-dance-tui-na-massage-cupping/ Thu, 13 Oct 2022 15:50:04 +0000 https://www.navigatorforwellness.com/?post_type=wyz_business&p=1357 read moreMoss Dance Tui Na (Massage) & Cupping]]> What is Tui Na?

Tui Na (twee-nah) is a massage practice that works with ancient principles from Chinese healing traditions. Tui Na is translated as push, grasp. Before there were acupuncture needles, practitioners stimulated acupuncture points and channels with their hands. So, for millennia, practitioners have skillfully used these techniques to restore health, induce relaxation, and soothe pain. If you are afraid of needles, but interested in acupuncture, this might be for you! Tui Na uses an intricate map of channels and acupressure points on the body to free up the Qi (life force) and the Blood. This release can facilitate deep healing and support your wellness on all levels.

 

About Me

My name is Moss Dance, and I am a grateful guest on the territories of the Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples, also known as Salt Spring Island. I practice Tui Na, along with Cupping Therapy and Gua Sha to invigorate and soothe your body, emotions, and spirit.

I have recently completed my fourth year of study at Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology, and am awaiting results from my board exams. During my practice at student clinic, I developed a passion for Tui Na, Cupping, and Gua Sha. I am now honoured to be able to offer these healing modalities to my community.
