Professional Services
One Heart One Hand believes in assisting the reality of an integrated, educated and vibrant conscious living community. In this section, building on the community boards and information located in Holly Oak, you will find people and services who are dedicated fully or in some capacity of their offerings to conscious living practices.
A message for you…January 2008…
Below you will find an article on being a conscious consumer of services, practitioners, facilitators and businesses. We place this at the start of this section as a reminder for you to keep your truth front and center. We are excited to have our initial launch of services with onscious consumer, we believe, is an important and valuable skill. Finding and using businesses and services that resonate with you and that are also supporting the entire web will assist the continued development of all. An individual can make a difference. Just like a pebble dropped in a pond sends ripples out to the edge of the pond, an individual’s choices and actions ripple out to the edges of the universe. As each individual becomes a conscious consumer … those ripples grow … as those ripples grow each individual becomes a collective – and things change. We encourage you to bring your internal wisdom and conscious awareness to your choices.
At One Heart One Hand we are dedicated to providing a platform that is open to all people and all services…with the caveat that there is a relation to conscious living in the service/business listed on the platform. In lieu of monitoring all people listed and moving away from making personal judgments on listings, we have made a conscious decision to educate people on how to be conscious consumers. As well, we have often had people asking about how to find the right practitioner or asking us some of the great questions below. The questions and reminders listed below are not a tablet written in stone - they are suggestions to assist you. If you have anything to add to this list that we have missed, please send it along to us. Together we can create and respond … Together we can change the world!
Please note also that while you are reading through the resource listing or asking your questions of people there will be some of these services listed that will resonate with you…and others that will not. Rest assured that those services that do not resonate with you – will find someone else with whom they resonate. Allow what is not resonating to return to the cycle of the flow. If you have a less than beneficial experience with any of the services/professionals listed – let us know, and we encourage you to speak directly with that service/professional as well. Variety is the spice of life!
Here are some reminders while you are perusing this information in the Professional and Service Listings:
- All ways (always) keep your truth front and center.
- Be aware of your feeling and your sensations. Learn to trust that inner guidance you have. It is your wisdom communicating with you.
- Ask questions…and many of them.
Questions to consider for individuals providing professional services:
- What is the person’s training?
- What is their experience?
- How long have they been in practice/service for?
- Do they have clients you can speak with?
- What are their fees? Are their fees negotiable if there are financial constraints?
- Do they have a network of other professionals they refer to, or are referred by?
- What kind of support are they able to offer? Some people are available for emergency service and some are not.
- Get them to explain their service. If you do not understand, continue to ask questions. If they cannot answer your questions…ask them to refer you to someone in their field who can answer your questions.
- What are their unique skills and abilities? In what domains/situations are their skills best suited? Listen to see if they speak about knowing their limitations.
- Do they have a ‘specialty’?
- Do they integrate several different modalities? If so, can you pick and choose which ones you are interested in?
- Do they work in conjunction with other services or do they like that you use their service on its own?
Questions to consider for businesses and other related services:
- do they have sustainable environmental principles in place?
- are they involved in assisting social/community programs?
- are they knowledgeable on their product/service – can they provide you with detailed and current information?
- are they customer friendly – do they operate with respect and honor, are they easy to communicate with, do they have a system in place to respond to questions/issues/concerns?
- do they have a referral base or knowledge of other businesses within community?
- do they engage in their business operations with ethical, integrity filled and sustainable conduct? When they are not ‘perfect’ do they address your needs to the best of their abilities?

I am a Complimentary Care Practitioner/Instructor of over 25 years. I graduated form the University of Waterloo in 1978 with a BES, as a single parent. After graduating I chose to pursue a career in complimentary care due to my own and family health issues, and finding this was a sadly neglected field at that time. In 1984 I became a Chartered Herbalist (Dominion Herbal College, BC), and in 1984 graduated as a Certified Reflexologist with the Reflexology Association of Canada, and Foot/Hand and Ear Teacher in the proceeding years with RAC until 2003, at which time I developed my own Certified Student Foot Teaching Manual Program, registering with RRCO in 2004.
I was the first Canadian High Touch Jin Shin Acupressure Practitioner in 1983, and Instructor in 1986. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher (Usui), and Registered Karuna Reiki Master/Teacher. I studied Therapeutic Touch, Touch for Health, Human Ecology Balancing Sciences, Educational Kinesiology, Kinesiolgy and the Hidden Forces of Gem, Crystas and Stones with Ken Harsh, Certified Axiatonal Alignment Practitioner, Meditation, Spiritual and Aboriginal Medicine.

Description of Services:
“Creation has been a constant life force for us, we are its Relation, any healing process requires us to honor and work with the deepest respect for it’s power and love.”
I use my voice and sacred drum to reach in and clear imbalances and to amplify the body and soul’s ability to heal. My work is a catalyst type where I do my best to honor the client’s emotional and physical healing. I help guide clients to a place of Grace and Beauty, our inherent right to carry on our life’s purpose; to love and accept the Sacred that lies within. I have spent my life’s work integrating my professional training and commitment to physical / emotional healing, with my intuitive knowledge.
Personally, musical self-expression is inseparable from spiritual growth and wellness.
Also as an Artisan, pieces are made from Nature, recycled materials, crystals and beads.. I have used this skill for divination, sacred jewelry, ceremonial clothing, and for special areas of home and work..
Raised in a Finnish Canadian community, music, animals, and nature were my greater influences. My professional musical career has spanned eighteen years. Performances included many recorded and live shows out of Lionheart Studios, in cultural gatherings, radio, and open stages throughout the blues/folk community. I performed popular and original songs both solo and with band members.
Since the late 70’s I have been actively involved with peaceful Activist groups for Human, Animal and Environmental rights. I am honored to have met many Global Elders, dedicated to World Peace & Healing.
The voice is used to write and express the life style and spirit of these days - working with the drum, transformed life forever. Songs were learned and shared at many Drum Circles in the Ontario region. Songs were written for personal and Earth healings. The drum was a spiritual tool of my Matriarch Ancestors. In more recent years, I have been integrating music into my personal spiritual practice as it relates to my Finnish-Saami cultural inheritance. The ancient Finnish and Saami have writings, of ancient Bear Medicine, some of which are included in the sacred book ; “Kalevala”. We are all unique blended beings of our “spirit‘s journey “and carry the message of our Ancestors.. I have been honored to have studied with other Medicine teachers from different cultures of the world. For 3 years in Toronto I studied the Oneness of Universal Medicine Wheel Teachings, and incorporate those with daily living. I continue to work on Earth healing ceremonies at sacred places, with myself and w groups of like minded souls.
Therapeutic Training
I have 16 years of experience as a Certified Nurse’s Assistant, working in Geriatrics, with physically and emotional challenged persons of all ages and in palliative care. The years of working so closely with such clients taught me that healing is not only or always about treating symptoms, but that deepest healing is soul transformation in a loving and compassionate environment. For the last 9 years, I have practiced as a Certified Energy Therapist taught by Marlene George, including Therapeutic Touch, Reiki Master, and Abraham life skills teachings. I am currently completing training in Reflexology to enhance my technical understanding of the body’s energy Matrix. I am currently working with Laird Orr, the “Elora Project”, a guided meditation facilitator, writer and intuitive healer.
Services
Treatments are a blending of my Ancestral guidance, with cert. Energy applications that are amplified creatively with the vibrations and tones of the voice and drum, with words & chants. Included in services are the following: clearing of negative energetic implants due to chronic health conditions or stressful living patterns; aura/chakra balancing; healing imagery; color “light work.” and intuitive messages for life’s journey. Also used in sessions are movement, crystals, rattles, sound bowls, feathers, sacred herbs.
Sacred Drumming guides all aspects of mind, body and soul to a “higher plane of healing” The sessions emerge intuitively from the individuals needs.
Available: Long distance drumming, Energy work and Spiritual cleansing for personal living/working space.
Voice: Professional voice services for musical recording; guided singing meditations for single or small groups. Singing and or drumming workshops available to help us find personal Spirit Songs and mentors of life.
Workshops and specialty arts can be negotiated. Some crystals, jewelry and hand made gift wear available, also handmade and imported clothing.
Sliding scale rates available for elders and unemployed on services only.

Description of Services:
Channeling as a Service to Others. Tarot card readings. Sounding board.
As we seek to understand our lives and put ourselves in a better position to enjoy this life, we often find the answers are within us but we don’t know how to find or identify what we seek to know.
A Channeling session through me offers you the opportunity to hear messages from your guides and loved ones specifically for you, for your benefit. Essentially you are receiving messages from you, for you.
Walking in nature, whether it be a favourite forest, a beach or deep in the Everglades, I invite in a connection with my Spirit Guide to facilitate your guides to join in the session and relay messages to you
through me. I write these messages out with automatic writing while
revisiting the session, leaving the self out of the messages - without edit, judgement or padding. The messages are relayed to you as received. Their meaning and significance I trust for you to understand, whether it takes a day or a month or whatever. I am available to revisit the messages with you to help clarify or expand, but trusting yourself will reveal all.
Tarot readings are also offered. Specific questions and area of focus
will intellectually be explored with intuitive divination. This offers
identification of the crux of the matter, a revisiting of the past to understand how you have arrived to this point in life, a realisation of the preseent and its’ influences plus a look to the future possibilities that await.
Also, I feel that often people need to be put in a position to talk out their concerns, to be offered the opportunity to converse without judgement and find how they really feel, so, a sounding board service is also available. Intutiive messaging may take place in these conversations and may lead to a focused Tarot reading or to undertake a Channeling session.
All of the above are for you to choose from.
On a personal note, I use walks with Mother Earth, a Naturalist is the
best label I use. Messages are most clearly received while taking in one
of her infinite life energies, from watching mist hover over a stram, to the swaying of tall grass to watching a chipmunk to listening to the song of a chickadee to whatever offers, I avail and open myself to all. Strict ethics of confidentiality are always in place and I stress that these messages are not for me to understand, they are for you, I am happy and blessed to be a conduit for you, a messenger if you will.
