Well-being Essentials
Self Help Me offers a diverse range of well-being tools, including one-on-one appointments, classes and retreats. Our dedication to helping you develop a wellness routine that's right for you is at the centre of why we do this work.
Self Help Me Tool: Mindfulness
Mindfulness for a Busy Mind
Mindfulness is the practice of coming into awareness of what your mind and body are doing in any given moment. In our workshops, classes and retreats, you will be shown how to develop a simple practice that involves learning how to observe the mind and body in a way that is both grounding and calming while helping you come back to the present moment.
Self Help Me Tool: Breathwork
Breathwork for Stress and Anxiety
Breathwork can help ease the mind by slowing down the central nervous system and notifying the body that it can relax. It can also be used to help with cleansing and restoring. Each breathwork session offered is tailored to your area of focus; self care, stress and anxiety reduction, meeting and presentation preparation, building confidence and more.
Self Help Me Tool: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping
EFT Tapping to Build Confidence
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping is a technique that involves tapping on acupressure points in the body. These particular areas are known in Chinese Medicine as meridian points and tapping gently on them can help release stuck energy. Tapping is often combined with the use of stating affirmations as a way of offering a shift in perspective from negative to positive viewpoint.
Self Help Me Tool: Reiki
Reiki to Restore Your Energy
Reiki is a Japanese word that means universal life force energy. It is a healing art that originated in ancient Buddhism. This gentle, hands on treatment promotes healing in the body, mind and spirit. It can reduce stress, anxiety, sleep issues and physical pain while providing intuitive guidance for the recipient. You may leave your treatment feeling both rejuvenated and as though you've lost 100 lbs and it's very possible for both to be true.
Self Help Me Tool: Yoga
Yoga to Connect the Mind and Body
Self Help Me offers and array of yoga classes ranging from weekly classes, private one-on-ones, corporate workshops and puppy yoga. The style offered is classical in nature and works with Hatha postures to promote the connection of yoga postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama) for various skill levels.
