Hello! My name is Kirby Criddle, and I'm joining the team of health service providers at 306 starting May 1, 2016. I recognize that not everyone will be familiar with the services I offer, so I wanted to write a little intro to introduce myself and tell you a bit about what I do. I'm a musician, and I also teach yoga, and run a holistic healthcare practice in Saskatoon called Illuminara Wellness. I offer a variety of holistic healthcare services packaged into one session, which I believe is not only very efficient in terms of healing, but also more time saving and cost-effective than seeing a variety of practitioners. Every session combines Reiki and Body Talk, and draws on other therapeutic modalities I've been trained and certified in over the last 11 years, including Herbal Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Holistic Nutrition, Reflexology and Acupressure, Energy Massage, Aromatherapy, Gemstone Therapy, Yoga, Meditation, DreamHealer (cancer-specific sessions), Life Balance, Chakra Dowsing and Balancing, Guided Visualizations, and Conscious Breathing. More information is available at illuminarawellness.com
I am currently a student of the Wild Rose College of Natural Healing's Clinical Herbalist program, and I will be studying Body Talk Module 4(7) at the end of May, which further expands on my current training for musculoskeletal repair, addressing athletic injuries, using an agenda to prep an athlete for maximum performance in specific events, arthritis, adhesions and improving range of motion, posture correction, specific spinal balancing, and more, that I feel will be really beneficial in working with all of you.
What is Body Talk?
The Body Talk System takes an integrative approach to healthcare by supporting our body's own natural healing mechanisms. Each system, cell and atom in the body is in continuous communication. Everyday stresses often disrupt these lines of communication or overload the energy circuits. Body Talk is simple, it re-synchronizes and re-aligns. This allows the body to return to its natural healthy function, effectively responding to injury and illness.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energetic healing practice used to promote balance in all aspects of the person: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Reiki practitioners focus mainly on the energy fields of the client; by repairing and healing the energy field, the physical body becomes strengthened, revitalized, and all manner of disease eliminated.
Remedial/mobility yoga classes will be offered Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00-12:00, at $15 drop-in, or $11/class for a 20-class pass. Sixty minute sessions are available at 306 every second week on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a signup sheet will be at the front desk with dates and times available (until I get my online booking system up and running). My alternate treatment space is available for 60, 90 or 120 minute bookings every week, so if you can't get in to see me at 306, please feel free to book in with me by emailing illuminarawellness@gmail.com.
Looking forward to meeting you, and helping you achieve your health and wellness goals! See you soon.
