New! Reiki And Holistic Practitioner in Suite 209!

The holidays - and beyond - are a time when many of us long for greater balance, ease and wellbeing of body, mind and spirit.  

Reiki can support us in that with its invitation to come home, to rest in, our natural rhythm, the rhythm of nature itself, where our body's innate healing capacity can bring our entire system back into balance, remind us of our innate healthiness and wholeness, and restore a sense of ease and wellbeing on all levels.

Sessions now available in Suite 209! Coaching and meditation instruction also available, including online!

Call Janet at 416-655-8007 or email janet@presenceofheart.ca for more info!

A mainstay of the Danforth, the Big Carrot has been setting healthy trends for nearly 40 years. A book looks at how it could take its approach to the world.

Independent grocer the Big Carrot has an edge on the competition from major chains trying to get into fair trade and organic products.
