Alison has a strong commitment to energy medicine that predates her formaltraining.She spent considerable time studying breath-work techniques and loving touch to release trauma from the body. Alison is an avid student of the work of Byron Katie and uses this method of beliefinvestigationas part of her work. Polarity Therapy defines health as a 'free-flow of energy in the body',and Polarity Therapy seeks to release whatever is blocking energy flow. Blocks can be physical, emotional, or mental (beliefs). When the mind and body are integrated as a team we can be in theflow of life. Having an integrated mind/body system is essential to recovery. Polarity Therapy begins on the bodywork table, however, its principles can provide a foundation for a healthy, happy lifestyle.
Kim Kellow
Spiritual Integration Practitioner
Spirituality is a key component in recovery. We know that women who have some sort of spiritual practice have a much higher rate of recovery.Whether we recognize it or not, we all have a measure of spirituality, as defined by the way we connect to ourselves, to others, and to the worldaround us. We work on universal themes that are part of all belief systems: loving kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.It's not about changing or giving up your belief system, it's about finding ways to help it meet your needs.
Stephanie Lindsay, BA
Kitchen Supervisor
Stephanie is much loved by both clients and staff, not only for her lovely Irish brogue, but for the small touches like the little baggies full of 'drinkies' (assortedteas, decaf coffee, stevia and creamers) decorated with hearts and flowers that we find tucked in packs when we go backpacking. Inspired by her father who was an excellentcook, Stephanie studied culinary arts at Dublin Institute of Technology where she minored in nutrition. She became a chef at Mirasol in 2014, shortly after relocating fromIreland to join her fiancé. She says, 'Everything about the job appealed to me, especially the opportunity to help people repair their relationships with food. I just thinkfood can bring so much to your life. If you can appreciate food, you can be brought little bits of joy six times a day!'
