She utilizes a unique approach by decreasing the activity along the pathways of the nervous system first, allowing tissues to become more receptive to techniques and reducing the potential of delayed onset muscle soreness.
She works just below the tolerance threshold of pain for each client.
In an effort to better serve clients, Nadine takes continuing education courses each year and has recently trained in cupping therapy.
Kenzie MacLean, Reiki Practitioner
Kenzie MacLean, Reiki PractitionerOpen minded and grounded in realism.
Kenzie believes that healing is not a “one size fits all” like we are led to believe. We are all beautifully unique, with our own experiences and perspectives. We should celebrate this! Keeping this in mind, each and every one of us will approach our healing journey in our own way. Her healing approach is holistic in nature, offering her open support to you.
She started out as a little kid with a love for collecting rocks and looking at the night sky, always asking “why” questions about absolutely everything and anything she could think of. She continued that passion for knowledge and completed her degree in Biomedical Toxicology and Business. After graduating, she worked in the food and pharmaceutical industries appreciating what those sectors had to offer. Although professionally fulfilled, she felt there was something “missing” in her life. She has always had a desire to genuinely help people.
She hit her version of rock bottom where she was emotionally, spiritually and physically at her worst. She continued asking the “why” questions, but this time about her health and spiritual growth. That’s when she found reiki. WOW. She was forced to focus on her own healing journey and it was the best decision she ever made.
She is now a Usui Reiki Master and would be honoured to use her skills and unique perspective to help you along your healing journey, if that’s what feels right for you.
At this time, she offers reiki services at the Affordable Clinic on Thursday evenings. She is always open to chat with you first to see if you’re a good fit, or to bond over awesome crystals and cool rocks.
