““When you close your heart or close your mind, you hide in the darkness within you. There is no light. There is no energy. There is nothing flowing. The energy is still there but it can’t get in…That is what it means to be “blocked”. That is why you have no energy when you’re depressed””
— Michael Singer

Our philosophy

Each person has a natural, infinite inner strength that transforms pain & supports their physical, mental, & spiritual health. Painful life experiences cause this power to become blocked which leads to dissatisfaction & dis-ease. Our Victoria therapists empower clients to re-access the strength in their hearts so that they can live a joyful life with balance & connection. We support people who are ready to recalibrate & reconnect to their inner healing intelligence so that they can deepen their relationship with self, others & the world.
