🌟New Team Member Announcement 🌟

Introducing the newest member of the Intuitive Movement Team, Heidi Realffe, Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)! Starting this June, Heidi will be available to see clients, with her schedule already posted with morning, afternoon and late evening appointments available. We're thrilled to have her on board!

Heidi completed her massage therapy diploma at Mount Royal University in Calgary, AB, in 2018, following a decade-long career in bookkeeping and corporate administration. After passing her board exams, she became registered with the College of Massage Therapists of BC in 2021. Heidi pursued massage therapy as a way to make a meaningful impact on others while exploring her growing interest in human health, holistic healing, and the mind-body connection.

Her practice is rooted in a biopsychosocial framework, beginning each appointment with a conversation to understand your history and lifestyle. This helps tailor the treatment to your unique goals and needs.

During your session, Heidi employs a blend of General Swedish techniques, joint mobilizations, and deep tissue modalities. Her approach aims to reduce overall tension by working with your nervous system. Addressing specific injuries and pain involves considering whole body dynamics. You'll be encouraged to fully relax as she gently assesses muscle and joint integrity, releasing tissues as needed with an appropriate depth and quality of touch. The result is a deep sense of well-being and increased freedom of movement.

Originally from Southern Quebec, she has lived in Montreal, Calgary, and Banff, and now calls Vancouver Island home. In her free time, she enjoys sailing, hiking, and photography.

On this , let's unite to place our well-being at the forefront and foster awareness about the significance of mental health. 💚

I am going to be vulnerable today...💗

My personal journey with my mental health has been challenging to say the least, silently navigating my struggles for years, burdened by the fear of judgment and isolation. My journey with anxiety and depression commenced at a young age, and it wasn't until I reached adulthood that I truly comprehended the potency of seeking help. I came to understand that I didn't have to confront these challenges alone.

It wasn't until my anxiety began to consume my life, making it almost impossible for me to step outside my home, that I fully grasped the weight of what I was feeling. It was as if I was sinking deeper into a profound darkness, gasping for air, suffocating feeling like there was no hope. However, the past two years have marked a transformation in my life as I reached out for support and embraced medication and therapy to manage my anxiety and depression. This has truly changed my life, as I have finally realized that I didn't need to fear judgment or face this journey alone.

✨When you are having a harder day, try to come back and remember the following points:

💪 It's okay not to be okay; strength comes from seeking help – friends, family, professionals.

🧘‍♀️ Prioritize self-care; dedicate time to nurture your mind, body, and spirit, be it a nature walk, a good book, or meditation.

🌈 Celebrate your unique mental health journey; break the stigma.

🤗 Let's support one another with compassion and open conversation.

💞 You're not alone; your emotions are valid. Care for yourself daily.
