Local Ottawa philanthropist and businesswomen Helen Somerville has embarked on a brand new journey. Having suffered the tragic loss of a dear friend and a divorce, all at the same time, Helen found herself suffering from chronic pain and depression. As allopathic medicine never proved to be a good option for her, she took it upon herself to find alternative therapies which would "heal" her heart and soul. Helen found complimentary therapies such as Rolfing, Therapeutic Touch™ and Emotional Freedom Technique, enabling her to heal herself. Through these treatments Helen gained the insight and opportunity to "learn how my friend could die in joy", and how she could deal and grieve her losses. Helen decided to share these healing opportunities with the world and opened a riverfront oasis in Ottawa, just steps from Parliament Hill. She named this location PEGGY'S HOLISTIC OASIS, to honor her dearest friend Peggy who had passed on due to cancer. Nestled amongst towering pine trees along the Rideau River, Peggy's Oasis is the perfect healing sanctuary for Ottawa's stress filled community. Featuring numerous healing treatments by certified practitioners, guests are able to choose from safe, natural alternatives based on a non-medical structure, including an infrared sauna and cosmetic acupuncture.

A holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit, "Together we Heal" is the mantra of Peggy's Oasis. "I was inspired to create this Oasis and a sponsorship program where individuals can come and gain "freedom" from emotional and physical pain.
