💛 to my clients; as most of you know I have taken a hit to the immune system/stress response and have come down with ocular shingles. This condition is not only painful it’s dangerous, travelling the trigeminal nerve into the eye nose and jaw. While i get used to the antiviral drugs and go through the blistering stages I am stepping away from all massage. When I am safe to return to work I’ll be reaching out and making a post that appointments are open.

Thanks for understanding

Iridology is the art and science of reading the story held in the eyes. It is a way of observing the colors, patterns, and textures of the iris to better understand how the body holds balance, energy, and emotion. It is not a diagnostic practice, but rather a window into how we each adapt to life, stress, and change.

My work is rooted in the classical study of Bernard Jensen, whose lifelong research created the iris maps still used around the world today. Over the past eighteen years I’ve continued to grow this practice through deeper holistic and anthroposophical studies, blending the clinical precision of traditional iridology with a gentler awareness of body, soul, and rhythm.

Each session looks not only at structure, but at how your vitality moves through you. It’s a conversation between the physical and the subtle, between what has been held and what is ready to be released.

What to Expect

All sessions are offered virtually and last one hour.

Photo Review, 15 minutes
We begin by confirming clear images of each eye so I can observe the iris and sclera accurately.

Consultation, 20 minutes
We meet online to talk through your current patterns, lifestyle rhythms, and any personal intentions. The focus is on connection and understanding, not on diagnosis.

Report Completion, 25 minutes
After our call I complete your full non-diagnostic iridology report. It outlines your constitutional strengths, areas that may need gentle support, and educational suggestions for nourishing balance and vitality.

You receive your report within the hour.

Session Details
• Duration: 1 hour
• Fee: $100
• Includes: Written non-diagnostic iridology report, up to 5 lifestyle suggestions (mineral, supplement, activity and dietary) any further recommendations can be provided in follow up sessions of 15-90 minutes
• A receipt of health care is provided for anyone with extended benefits

💚 🌱 🌺 I long for the days when my head heart and hands can pour back into slow mornings creating and sunsets dreaming about creations. Two decades devoted to the plant kingdom and the alchemy we can make with them.

Our shift to beautiful Labrador has been one of excitement, learning, friendship,learning to bend and not break and dreaming of a future together with my family full of potential. Potential to embrace the ways, culture, the fishing, hiking, entertaining strangers, friends, strangers who have become friends too.

Sometimes i scroll the authentic work i had in Campbellton and long for this pace again, but i quickly remind myself everything can come back around if you want it bad enough.

I may not have the time and access to resources i had, but as BB king said “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”

So, I’ve spent some time over the past few years, recently completing, three books, e-books in the process of print, compiling our stories (1) how to create your own apothecary (2) and living lightly in three fold (3, an anthroposophical perspective) full of all ive learnt in this unorthodox life of mine

I’m working on a virtual challenge and STAN store to bring these to you in the coming days. If it resonates with you, maybe you want some inspiration, are curious, or would love a way to get creative in your own kitchen and have healthy products to gift to those you love, these testaments were created with love, and will become part of my living legacy of this wonderful life we all have. Thanks for being part of it.

Jessie.

Five Day Practitioner Intensive Two Locations
Central Newfoundland & Grey-Bruce, Ontario

Earn three practitioner certifications in one immersive week (with case studies to follow):

• Foot Reflexology Practitioner
• Ayurvedic (Indian) Head Massage Practitioner
• Auricular Ear Seed Therapy Practitioner

Format: Five days in-person, hands-on training + guided case studies and assessment for certification.

About the Training
This intensive follows the same professional, time-tested lineage you’ll find at DANU Wellness Co & Academy & Aromatica School in Ontario—where our instructor trained. The program blends classic reflexology and Ayurvedic head massage traditions with an anthroposophic three-fold perspective, recognizing the human being as a harmony of thinking, feeling, and willing. You’ll learn not only where to press, but how rhythm and touch can rebalance the head/nerve-sense, rhythmic (heart-lung), and metabolic-limb systems.

What You’ll Learn

• Foot Reflexology: mapping, palpation, treatment sequences, indications/contraindications, case taking, and documentation

• Ayurvedic Head Massage: traditional “Champi” techniques for head, neck, back and shoulders; oil selection; seated and lying methods; rhythm and pressure; how to integrate into spa or wellness settings

• Auricular Ear Seed Therapy: ear mapping, safe seed application, protocols for stress, sleep, pain modulation, and nervous-system regulation (including vagus-linked points)

The Three-Fold Spin (How We Teach)
Thinking • clear anatomy, physiology, and rationale behind every protocol
Feeling • rhythmical touch, warmth, and oils that support the heart-lung “middle”
Willing • confident, embodied technique and flow developed through practice
Plus, introduction to phytotherapy in anthroposophy.

Who It’s For
Massage and spa practitioners, yoga or fitness professionals, estheticians, nurses, PSWs, holistic practitioners, and dedicated beginners ready for hands-on learning in a supportive adult-education environment.

Certification Pathway
• 5 days of in-person skill labs and practicum
• Guided case studies with feedback
• Practical and written assessment to finalize practitioner status

Upcoming Cohorts (contact for dates and pricing)
Central Newfoundland
Grey-Bruce, Ontario
