Krysty MacIntyre
Energy Therapist; Massage, Reiki, Sound & Intuitive Therapy
Hi, my name is Krysty, I also go by “Beloved”! I started working with Reiki in 2006 while living in Winnipeg. After attaining Master level in both Usui and Karuna styles, I took Elemental Shamanism. When I moved to the heartland of Alberta, I began studying and becoming certified in Mental Health Counselling, using these skills for life coaching and intuitive/spiritual counselling. After coming to Victoria, I became certified in Healing Massage and immediately began practising all my services as ‘integrated’; I use intuition in my energy healing and light work, and trust clients to know what services they need. I am privileged to stand next to clients as they make their way down the crazy path of Life, and fee! It will never be about money, and will always be about doing what I love for my living. Everyone deserves healing!
Annette Magled – Intuitive Holistic Therapy
Integrative Therapy
Integrated therapy simply means a combination of therapies as in a complete, consolidated integrated package of healing services. What services are we talking about? I have always loved learning about the body and mind connection and so began a life long exploration. My first love was psychology and observing the effect of our thoughts on our well-being and our most basic relationship (with ourselves,) this led me to counselling and meditation. I then studied massage, reflexology, cranial sacral therapy, and reiki, as well as homeopathy and nutrition. I later did my yoga therapy teacher training and
focused on sleep therapy. So you see my multiple skill set has enabled me to develop a wide perspective
and thereby hone my intuition. I practice reading your body’s energetic field and help shift the imbalances or remove blockages. Since I am guided by intuition each visit is unique and catered to your needs at the time.
Integrated Therapy can help with:
- Symptoms of anxiety and depression
- Headaches and migraines
- Body aches and pains
Maureen Fontaine
Live Blood Analysis, Master Herbalist & Spiritual Intuitive
I bring a background that is a medley of Shamanism, mysticism, science and eclectic exploration. I am an ardent advocate for aligning emotions, spirit and biology. Practical, directive and inspirational, I bring clarity through connection. I wiggle you out of the rabbit holes and tame your monkeys.
“Let’s dance with your shadows as you dance with your light, as they are the gift of your humanity!”
I am passionate about the language of blood and dedicated to understanding the depth of its offerings. My practice includes Live and Dry Blood Analysis, and also encompasses Ontological Coaching and Spiritual Intuitive Readings. When asked how these all work together, my answer is how can they not? Blood is our soul signature. How we work with all these aspects of our intrinsic natured selves is the key and I continue to be in awe.
Biological medicine considers that the internal balance is essential to optimal health. Each and every nuance of our biology is an expression of an emotion. Once we translate the messages, healing is possible.

I offer my treatments in a calm and gentle environment. As a practitioner I see my role as a companion with you on your journey towards health and well being. A journey that may include a painful body part, a distressed organ system, or an emotional hurt. I use my skills to individualize my treatments specifically for you – by listening to and meeting you where you are on your journey.
Laurie Pryce
Integrative Treatment
Craniosacral Therapy, Neural Manipulation and Visceral Manipulation are key elements in unwinding and releasing old pain. Connective tissue of the body called fascia and similar to that the glial matrix of the brain present the continuous mapping that guides me in accessing and addressing vascular, structural and neurological conditions. Because of the continuous nature of the connective tissue, no distortion or imbalance can remain localized consequently treating one area can facilitate change in other parts of the body.
These light touch manual therapies affect the body deeply by restoring the communication highways and improving the natural fluid rhythms inherent in the condensing and expansion phrases of every function of the body . Coherent rhythms assist the healing dynamics of all of systems of the body including emotional and mental balance and sleep.
I have 30 years of experience helping people from all walks of life with a myriad of physical, emotional and psychological pain.
Bobbi Kurtz
Ayurvedic Head Massage and Grounding
My authentic, gentle nature, intuitive sense, and natural abilities are the backbone of my success in all I do and I hope to share that with you.
I have evolved my intuitive skills through vocational work including:
- 20 years as an inspirational children’s performer,
- care provider for people transitioning to the next realm,
- social services work assisting individuals to identify their skills and build self-confidence,
- producer of live arts and culture for children and youth
- creator of the Ripple Effect Dance Project that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and acceptance of ourselves and others
My journey to this stage in life has led me to start “Get out of your Head, Get Grounded” focusing on the benefits of breath, touch, sound, smell, and allowing your inner child to play. Earthing and grounding are imperative for my well-being and I am passionate about spreading word of its simplicity and accessibility and incorporating it into my head massage practice.
After being gifted the book “Ancient Secrets of a Master Healer” and the recipient of an Indian Head massage, my interest in Ayurvedic teaching began and I knew it was my next calling.
Indian head massage is a healing art rooted in Ayurveda medicine that has been practiced in India for over 4000 years based on the belief that health and wellness depend on achieving a balance between mind, body, and spirit. It is viewed as a perfect way to re-balance the body through gentle stimulation of the Marma (energy) points found in the back, neck, ears, face and head.
My passion is to help individuals relax and receive a break from everyday stress. Indian massage is an opportunity to “Get of out of your Head and Get Grounded”.
It would be my pleasure and honour, to have you as a client.
Namaste Bobbi
