KIERON PARSONS
MS, MH, NMP, CHN1241524

Kieron Parsons is a clinically trained natural medicine practitioner (UK) and master herbalist, who holds two masters of sciences in gastroenterology and integrative medicine.  Additional modalities Kieron utilises within his practice entail live blood analysis along with various other tools to help his clients with their health condition.

Kieron is a strong believer that a well-functioning gastric system is the foundation of health.  However, if our gut is not digesting, absorbing or eliminating waste correctly, there is an elevated possibility for the rest of our body to become affected.  Fortunately, our digestive system possesses the ability to repair itself through the help of healthy eating and the use of other health promoting therapies.

An initial consultation typically lasts 1 – 1.5 hours, and involves a comprehensive questionnaire and live blood analysis.  Upon conclusion of the consult, clients will receive dietary advice, nutritional supplement recommendations and a personalised herbal formula tailored specifically to their individual’s needs.

Although Kieron is not recognised as a Naturopathic Doctor, Nutritionist or Dietitian in Alberta, he has acquired health insurance coverage for his clients, if your insurance policy offers “holistic nutrition counselling” as an option.  Some insurance providers, such as Greenshield, Manulife, and Pacific Blue Cross Alberta, have been noted to offer coverage for this service.  However, it’s advisable to consult your insurance policy representative prior to the consultation, to confirm whether your individual insurance policy covers this service.

Sarah Salter Kelly
SPIRITUAL TEACHER, HEALER, AUTHOR

Sarah Salter Kelly is a spiritual teacher, healer, and author of Trauma as Medicine. She utilizes the raw compounded teachings of her life experience to uplift, empower and guide others. Her wisdom is authentic, embodied and hard won – generated through years of integrating the tragic homicide of her mother and forgiving the perpetrator – alongside 30 years of studying personal growth, energy healing, shamanism, and earth-based traditions.  Over the past 15 years she has run a private healing practice, facilitated retreats in Canada and in Peru, taught trauma-focused and shamanic healing workshops, and presented at numerous conferences/public events.

She is adept at supporting you in connecting with love and using your awareness of this love to heal.

Private sessions are available with the following focuses, though they typically overlap (healing is messy) as she brings all her tools to the table.  Note if you are unsure as to what you need, it may be determined with guidance in the session.

Spiritual Guidance:  Who are you, why are you here, and what does it all mean?  Receive direction in addressing life’s bigger questions and listening to the answers generated within.

Reiki:  Traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki is shared to facilitate inner peace, heal imbalances, and release unwanted energies.

Psychedelic Integration:  Understand and make sense of plant medicine experiences to tune into the bigger picture and find direction forward.

Soul Retrieval:  Reclaim the lost parts of your soul that have been fractured through grief, trauma, or loss.

Past life regression:  Discover the source of present-day unhealthy patterns that just don’t go away, and become aware of how you may change them.

Ancestral Healing:  Transform and heal the generational patterns you have inherited to clear the suffering in yourself, your ancestors and your descendants.

Trauma focused Energy Healing:  Become aware of your trauma from an energetic point of view and identify what concrete steps you can take to cultivate freedom. Recognise where you are holding it in your body, and what you need to do to metabolize it – releasing the waste and assimilating the gifts.

Shamanic Journey:  Experience the direct revelation of an altered state. With the use of drum or other sound tools you will communicate directly with Spirit/Source to ask some of your big soul questions and go deeper on your path. This often includes connection with a power animal, ancestor and helping spirit

Cleansing:  Heavy energy accumulates from the acts of daily living as well as the weight of our unresolved suffering. Be cleansed with a prayer, personal invocation, and rattle to release what you do not need and come home to your body.

Ceremony:  This is the action piece that supports you in manifesting your intention. You may be supported in receiving a ceremony which corresponds to your healing or in learning to create your own.

Tools utilized in your session may be:  smudging, sound healing, drumming, shamanic journey, led meditation, talk, ceremony, reiki, personal inquiry, breath work.

Most sessions are set up with the following format:

  • Invocation/prayer/blessing – connection to the highest powers of the universe to mark our session as holy and sacred.
  • Discussion – sharing of your intention and reason for our session.
  • Purification – a basic visualization to release heavy energy and open to the light of Source within.
  • Safe place – identification of what you need to feel safe in moving inwards.
  • Body focus – awareness of where you are holding the energy you are addressing and what this means to you.
  • Moving inwards – Choosing one of the above focuses to address intention for our session.
  • Closing prayer

Sessions are 60 minutes $150 CAD

Shawna Bate, BEd., 

Live and Dry Blood Analyst, Health Coach

Shawna is a passionate advocate for holistic health and wellness, specializing in Live and Dry Blood Analysis.  Trained under the esteemed Dr. Diane Blackburn in Vancouver, Shawna combines her expertise to partner with her clients to observe their blood and uncover valuable insights into their health.  Together, they explore options based on these findings, offering clients hope and empowering them to take control of their well-being. She believes in the body’s incredible capacity for self-healing and works to address root causes of imbalance.

Understanding that lifestyle is often at the heart of the four leading diseases in Canada—and that many of these conditions are preventable or reversible—Shawna’s approach is both practical and useful by also offering sessions using very specific bio electromagnetic frequency pulse therapy on the BEMER, which stimulates the circulation in the smallest blood vessels – the capillaries – referred to as microcirculation.  The therapy improves restricted circulation, supporting the body’s own self-health and regeneration processes.  As the cells become better nourished and oxygenated, the immune system is supported, inflammation is reduced, and overall health is improved.  The body also becomes more effective at dispelling waste and toxins via the lymphatic system, liver and kidneys. Click HERE to see a video of the improvement in blood flow using the BEMER.

In addition to her expertise in blood analysis, Shawna is a certified health coach through the Health Coach Institute.  As a coach, she empowers her clients to uncover the root causes of their health concerns.  Her personalized approach blends science and lifestyle guidance, helping individuals achieve balanced, vibrant well-being.  Shawna’s mission is to inspire lasting health transformations through education, support, and natural solutions.
