I am delighted to invite you to celebrate a significant milestone: my 25-year anniversary as an acupuncturist and Shiatsu therapist in North Bay, as well as 30 years of dedication to the field of holistic healing. To commemorate this occasion, I will be hosting an open house on April 26, 2025, from 1 PM to 4 PM. I am pleased to announce that Scott McLaren will be catering the appetizers. Additionally, Shawn will be performing on his guitar from 1:30 to 3:30, and Bill will be playing a selection of songs on his harp for all to enjoy. Ear acupuncture demonstrations will take place at 2 o’clock, accompanied by discussions on its benefits for overall health and wellness. I look forward to welcoming you with gratitude and appreciation for the kind support I have received over the years. Please feel free to drop in and join me in celebrating this milestone.

Started the first course of six with acupuncture dealing with the ear. I find it to of been an extremely amazing course, teacher was bang on with his knowledge and more so much more this was a learning curve that I so needed and so wanted. This is a modality that I can apply in any aspect, whether it is pain, gynaecology dermatology, or balancing out your Chi. There is no limit to what ear acupuncture can do and where it can take your body. It is easy to apply, I can put some seeds or needle patches on your ears. You go home with them three or four days later they will fall off you’ll start to feel the changes (if I’m doing it correctly, but give me time of course m) for this learning curve) you should feel the transition quite quickly. I hope anybody who is interested in trying this auricluar acupuncture , it’s about 20 minute treatmentwill give me a call. This is again, really is based on you. The ear is an amazing map of your life and can heal in many ways. Please contact me!!!

Gloria recently completed another course in facial rejuvenation to enhance her knowledge - “Understanding and Integrating the Aging Face” at the Net of Knowledge.

Facial rejuvenation treatments can minimize the signs of aging while enhancing overall health. Gloria has already started treatments with several clients and the feedback has been very good. Lips are showing fullness and one client has lost all fine line wrinkles and is feeling better overall.

Gloria is so very pleased to have started this new modality!
