Olya was raised in a family of Physicists and had never considered becoming an acupuncturist. She received a Master’s Degree in Business and enjoyed a successful career for almost 20 years. After giving birth to her second son, she fell seriously ill.  Luckily, a seven-year struggle with constant severe pain was finished when Olya found acupuncture. It was the only treatment that was effective for her.  

Olya was so encouraged with this positive change that she decided to shift her career and bring back to the community this healing power of Chinese Medicine. Once she was on this new path, she was able to quickly apply important skillsets from her previous career, such as finding the root causes of problems and effective self-study to investigate new ways to help patients. Olya treats every patient as a unique individual and tailors each treatment plan very carefully. She applies different approaches based on patients’ needs, some might benefit from orthopaedic acupuncture, others need Tan’s balance method, scalp acupuncture, or auricular therapy. Her special areas of research include pain control, digestive issues, women’s health, and emotional trauma support.

Olya has a sincere desire to take care of everyone who needs it with the help of acupuncture. Her belief is that regular acupuncture treatment, small changes in diet, lifestyle, and exercise can trigger huge positive changes in the body at any age.

Olya also is fluent in Russian and Ukrainian.

Hi I’m Kelly.

I am passionate about you having the experience of being well and understanding how to maintain it. I specialize in helping people transcend their blocks and hesitations in life by focusing on the mind-body connection using loving and caring principles of EFT/TFT (tapping), Hypnotherapy, NLP, Acupressure, Quantum Healing, ThetaHealing® & Reiki.

Having my own experience using these modalities to overcome and understand my own trauma and afflictions and to shift my own negative beliefs and patterns ignited a spark within me to share what I have learned with others who are ready to free themselves emotionally, mentally, and physically from issues such as anxiety, addictions, fear, anger, eating disorders, smoking, weight management, relationship stress and many more.

I work in my own unique way supporting my clients in triumphantly reaching their goals. Together we can adjust the processes that influence your awareness, give life to new perspective, and create the life you want to live.

Sarah Hofing is a life coach and intuitive healer. With a degree in Psychology she entered the health and fitness industry and realized that there is so much more than just nutrition and exercise. Our minds, past behaviour and generational trauma plays a huge role in the person you are today and who you become. In digging deep into these elements, we can rewire our brain pathways and move forward with confidence. We all hold the power to heal.

Sarah created programs like the spiritual mentorship program based on what she needed when she was going through transitions in life; like learning to create boundaries, recognizing an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and the emotional triggers that can lead to overeating. Nobody is self made. Only when we are ready to ask for help can we truly find our power and reach our true potential.

An intuitive by nature, Sarah is open to the spiritual realm and often gets messages from loved ones who have passed. With her certification in Reiki, Sarah can improve the flow and balance of energy in the body to promote healing. She is also trained to go into the Akashic records and view our past lives and heal them. By incorporating intuitive readings, Reiki and gaining access to our Akashic records, Sarah takes a more holistic approach when healing the mind, body and spirit.

Living the life that she manifested, Sarah is a Mum of three kids and married to the love of her life. Life is an adventure and allowing others to tune in and discover their true potential is Sarah’s life mission.

I combine my training in osteopathy and athletic therapy to provide an integrated approach to treatment. With an open heart, I use mostly a manual approach to treatment – meaning I use my hands to realign your body according to the principles of osteopathy. This may include joint mobilization, visceral manipulation, cranial osteopathy or myofascial release.

​With the intention of providing long term health and wellness I usually send people home with homework to do. Your homework may include: exercises, relaxation routines, awareness practices such as meditation or postural correction, as well as consulting with other practitioners to address mental health, nutritional issues, etc.

Tides of the ocean are ever changing and so are our life patterns. These patterns or “transitions” can be challenging times but the may also hold the key to invaluable and rewarding sources of insight and healing. These life patterns include birth, spiritual journeys, healing from injury or illness, trauma, becoming a parent, loss of a loved on, aging, and the end of life.

Over the past 18 years, I have been a support to many people navigating life’s tides from birth until death. I’ve done this through being a Nurse, Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and Massage Specialist. I’m so grateful for my experiences and how they have shaped and formed my journey. Currently, along side my practice, I have been a Resident Care Manager for Trillium Clover Point Care for the last 7 years providing elderly care and Craniosacral therapy until the end of life.
