T E S T I M O N I A L S We love hearing from you! This testimonial from a Mama who took our Prenatal Mama Series made our day. ... Thank you so so much for all the knowledge and information in the Prenatal Mama Series! I welcomed my baby boy on October 5th and it was amazing. I remember being so scared about giving birth and you really helped me move passed that. I was able to use the tips you gave us to let my nurses and OB know what I wanted and didn’t want. Also, being able to go on my side for pushing was the best thing ever! It felt so much more comfortable. So thank you so much. I wouldn’t have known to do it or even ask if it wasn’t for this series. - Lindsey G If you had a positive experience we would love to hear your feedback! . . . . #ckont #pelvicphysiotherapy #testimonial See more

We love when clients love sugaring as much as we do! If you haven’t tried Chatham-Kent’s hottest new award winning service, let us introduce it to you! Body Su...garing Hair Removal is a sweet new way to remove that unwanted hair that lasts 4-6 weeks! Think about all that time where you don’t have to shave! We make our sugar paste in house using only 3 little ingredients...sugar, water and lemon. So it’s all natural and a very slim chance of having any reaction at all! No chemicals like you find in wax! Also, as opposed to waxing, the sugar paste is applied against the direction of the hair growth, but it is removed with the direction of the hair growth, therefor causing less trauma to the hair root while being removed. Less trauma = less pain = less irritation, win = win = win!! Still need more info? Visit our website for more details or to book an appointment with our super easy booking system!

Throwback #6- taking part in a ceremony and reception at Bogeys Inn in Sombra. We have done multiple events at this location and each time, it is a success!!!!! We love our offsite events- they are different everytime.

Zen Room If you've been here for services i'm sure you've noticed this inviting, plant filled oasis and wondered what exactly is the purpose of this space? Whe...n I began floating I had to travel to Toronto, they had this beautiful post float lounge I found myself nestling into before i would brave the overwhelming environment of the city for the drive home. Its become just as integral to provide a space to reflect, meditate, journal, enjoy a tea and a few extra minutes to soak up every minute of your self care experience before going on with your day. This space is open to the public, you do not have to book a service with us to come for a visit. We understand that sometimes you just need a few minutes to get out of the house, not be alone, see a smiling face and even share how you're feeling. Especially with colder winter weather approaching many tend to isolate at home and seasonal affective disorder is very real. Just remember you are not alone and we are always here with welcoming hearts
