Stress Detox with Acupuncture
Fridays at 12:00 pm on
Tuesdays at 5:30 pm on May 6, 13, 20 and 27
These are 60 minutes in duration and cost $65 each ($60 each if you attend all 4 weeks).

Wellness begins with “We"
Illness begins with “I"
"I" isolates us and "We" need each other more than ever.

Are you feeling heavy and hopeless?
Trouble sleeping?
Are you impatient and frustrated?
These are signs that your system is overloaded with the projected stresses our world inflicts upon us.

Without a way of resetting our nervous system, we will not get any better.
When we only address the physical symptoms we neglect the power and potential that our mental, emotional and spiritual have to offer.

Gateway's Stress Detox Wellness Sessions create a safe space to support health and healing, and offers you a practice to reset your nervous system.

Benefits of Resetting our Nervous System include:
Improved immune system,
Balanced Hormones
Improved digestion
Repairing tissues;

A healthier you allows us foster a better relationship with yourself and others.
Life doesn't have to be heavy and hard, it can be filled with light and joy.
Allow your heart, mind and body to flourish.

Acupuncture is covered by most insurance providers. We direct bill Blue Cross only. Receipts are included to submit to your provider.
Space is limited.
Please call us at 902 667 2227 or email us at office@gatewaydevelopment.com to register.

Be well and be kind, especially towards yourself.
Blessings,
Stephanie

Yin & Pin (Yoga with Acupuncture)
Mondays at 6:00 pm on May 5, 12 and 26
Tuesdays at 7:00 pm on May 13, 20 and 27
These are 90 minutes in duration and cost $75 each ($65 each if you attend all 3 weeks).

Is chronic pain living in your life rent free?
Would you like to find a way to release it?
Chronic pain is quite literally stuck in your nervous system.
It is squatting in your connective tissue that wraps around your muscles.

Muscles live in the present, contracting or relaxing, but it is our connective tissue surrounding these muscles that truly connects our bodies together, bridging our past, our emotions and our reactions.

Chronic pain is a reaction between the relationship of our body and nervous system. If we can exercise the nervous system by practicing calm relaxed discomfort, we can stretch our tolerance for pain gently.

This is what Yin Yoga is all about, and it could possibly repattern our nervous system away from pain signals.

Yin Yoga helps us learn the difference between pain, our bodies warning signal we’ve gone too far, and the natural discomfort of a stretch. As we learn, we can better gauge our discomfort tolerances.

Yin Yoga gently focusses on practicing mindfulness with our discomfort, allowing ourselves to breathe directly into it. We then learn to get to know why it is there, getting to know their complexities and in short time, noticing the pain shift and change.

Adding acupuncture to this practice magnifies the benefits, helping you find peace in your body, so you can respond and receive to how life wants to bless you.

Blue Cross only. Receipts are included to submit to your provider.
Space is limited.
Please call us at 902 667 2227 or email us at office@gatewaydevelopment.com to register.

Be well and be kind, especially towards yourself.
