Healthy microcirculation is vital to the cardiovascular system, and vasomotion is a process in the microcirculatory system that assists the heart in delivering blood to the smallest vessels in the body. Improving healthy microcirculation, through the targeted stimulation of vasomotion, is the primary goal of BEMER physical vascular therapy.*

BEMER devices use a pulsed electromagnetic field – abbreviated as PEMF – to deliver a patented therapeutic signal. The BEMER signal helps improve the impaired pumping movements of small and very small vessels to promote needs-based distribution of blood.*
Better Circulation. Better Health. Better Life. BEMER is changing the way we think about our health, challenging our understanding of the human body, and empowering us to reach optimal physical condition in a natural, non-invasive way. Proper blood flow plays a critical role in our general health and BEMER can improve your circulation naturally in just 8 minutes twice a day. For more than 20 years benefits of BEMER have impacted millions of people around the world. BEMER is an FDA and Health Canada registered consumer medical device that’s easy-to-use, non-invasive and can improve microcirculatory blood flow by up to 30%.

A simple yet powerful energy healing method, created by Dr. Bradley Nelson, designed to help you find and release the trapped energies that inhabit your body: the Trapped Energies that may be limiting your ability to feel love and joy, and to create success.
The premise of The Body Code is that the energy of past emotions can literally become trapped in your body, affecting your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
We believe these Trapped Energies could be keeping you in patterns of discomfort, sorrow, failure, and heartbreak.
The Human Energy Field
Knowledge of the human energy field goes back thousands of years and through many cultures. The Emotion Code provides a framework for these ancient teachings by providing an understanding of how trapped emotional energies can cause blockages or imbalances in your personal energy field. With The Body Code, we believe it’s possible to permanently remove these negative energies.
Accessing Your Subconscious Knowledge Through Muscle Testing
Our premise is that the wisdom of the body is not held in the conscious, active mind, but in the subconscious mind, where the record of every experience, thought, feeling, or memory you’ve ever had is stored. We believe the subconscious mind exerts an unseen yet profound influence over how we behave and feel — and it’s also keenly aware of exactly what your body needs to get well. It’s our belief that to access these vast stores of knowledge, we need to bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious. This is where muscle testing comes in.
Understanding the Basic Principles of Energy Medicine
To understand how healing works through the use of The Body Code, it’s important to recognize this truth: The body is made up of pure energy. Every organ, every bit of tissue … indeed, every cell of the body is made up of energy. But there’s more. All of the non-physical aspects of yourself — your thoughts, your beliefs, your memories, your emotions — are also made up of energy. When viewed from this energetic standpoint, you can see just how easy it really is to affect change, and how true and lasting healing really is possible. But not all energy is created equal!

The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance” and vital body systems can be blocked, preventing the body from functioning optimally. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural balance and facilitate healing. For each person, the application and the effect of the therapy are unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances and by working on these points, the Reflexology Therapist can release these blockages. Reflexology is one of the safest and least invasive complementary therapeutic practices available.


Reiki

Reiki is a form of complementary therapy relating to energy healing. It works with the energy fields around the body and involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to the client.

Have you ever felt like something was off in your body and no matter what you did, you couldn’t get rid of that nagging feeling? That’s where Shiftwave comes in. At Broken Squirrel Wellness, we are proud to offer this revolutionary technology to help our clients discover the root cause of their pain and discomfort. Let’s take a look at how it works and why people are raving about it.

How Does It Work?

Shiftwave is a nervous system training technology that helps identify imbalances in the nervous system. It does this by using advanced non-invasive algorithms to measure brainwaves, heart rate variability, and skin conductance levels. This data is then analyzed to pinpoint areas of dysfunction within the body. From there, an individualized program is created that focuses on restoring balance and reducing pain throughout the body.

The Benefits of Shiftwave

The most obvious benefit of using Shiftwave is that it can help reduce chronic pain in areas such as your back, neck, or joints. But beyond simply relieving physical pain, many clients have found that using Shiftwave has had an overall positive impact on their mental health as well. The technology provides insight into how stress impacts the body and how each individual reacts to it differently—allowing them to better understand their own bodies and take proactive steps towards leading a healthier lifestyle.

In addition, many people have reported improved sleep patterns after utilizing Shiftwave training sessions; this is because it not only helps identify underlying issues but also addresses them with targeted exercises tailored specifically for each client's needs. Finally, some clients have even found that using Shiftwave has improved their overall performance both at work and in their personal lives due to increased focus and clarity of thought!

At Broken Squirrel Wellness, we believe everyone deserves to feel healthy and happy—and we’re proud to offer our clients access to Shiftwave’s revolutionary technology. By combining advanced data analysis with personalized exercises tailored for each individual client’s needs, Shiftwave can help unlock a whole new level of wellness for anyone who wants to take control over their health journey! If you’re ready to try out this groundbreaking technology for yourself—or if you just have questions about how it can benefit your life—we invite you to give us a call today!

Matt has spent his career as an acupuncturist blending eastern and western practices to address the multitude of imbalances that exist in the body. He currently practices in the Comox Valley and travels regularly to teach in San Francisco and Maui under master practitioners. His belief is that acupuncture works on the body in a way that is both specific and generalized. It can target muscle aches and pains directly, providing instant relief. It can also regulate the nervous systems, transitioning the body to move more into the calm, restful state that stimulates healing. This generalized calm that comes over the body during an acupuncture treatment is what allows our systems to “reset” in a way. Our bodies know how to fix themselves, but if they are not in a relaxed state the opportunity does not arise for this healing to occur.

owner and creator of A’Lyoness Blooms. From a young age, I began to serve in the form of listening and holding space. I was always surprised and curious as to why others felt safe to deeply confide in me. Having trauma in my own life, I believed myself to be broken, damaged, not good enough, unworthy and small, and yet others saw me as safe and loving.

Having been employed in a wide array of jobs (from Coal Miner to DayCare Owner) I eventually returned to my roots of Aquatics and Fitness. Although serving to support the physical healing and transformation of my clients, I was serving more from the mental, emotional and spiritual arenas to achieve the physical, as true transformation and healing is multifaceted. During this time meditation had become a regular piece of my daily routine, I dabbled in Self Reiki and I was introduced to CranioSacral Therapy (CST). I was fascinated and intrigued by CST’s gentle approach and immense healing reach (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), and my journey into Energy Healing began.
