Eden Energy Medicine
In energy medicine, energy is the medicine and also the patient, as energy interventions are used to help balance energies.
We use and teach you specific techniques that can be used to activate the body’s natural healing abilities. This can help to restore vital energies that have become weak, disturbed or out of balance.
The contribution Donna Eden has made with Energy Medicine will stand as one of the backbone studies as we lay a sound foundation for the field of holistic medicine.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is based on the deep listening of how nature heals.
The practical approach taken by my school Craniosacral & Polarity Associates of Montreal is based on the work and insights of Dr. William Sutherland, and on the writings of Franklyn Sills on Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
Dr. Sutherland realized early in his work that a rhythmic motion is characteristic of all the body’s fluids and tissues, and that human beings are connected and nourished by the rhythmic forces of the surrounding universe.
These rhythmic forces are always present in us through our life from conception to the end. They create, maintain and heal our bodies. They are expressed in the body through the fluids. As long as these rhythmic motions can manifest freely, health manifests strongly. The basis of the way we work is listening to these rhythms and creating conditions in which they can manifest.
A very gentle “butterfly” touch is used. The therapist ‘listens’ deeply, using their hands, to the fluctuations of the cerebral spinal fluid within the craniosacral system.
The client’s system is encouraged to access its resources, offering new choices and possibilities for the system at every level. Our own inner healing power is thus activated. Your inner wisdom, depth and pace of healing is honoured at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from a CST session?
Everyone can potentially benefit including, babies, children and pregnant women.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies from person to person. Children often respond very quickly, sometimes only needing one treatment.
Generally at least 3 sessions are required to have a significant impact on your health. Many people include sessions as part of a preventative approach to their health and wellness plan.
This is because we can clear issues at an energetic level before they manifest on the physical level.
What conditions respond to CST?
The benefits of CST are wide ranging due to its fundamental connection with your body’s central nervous system.
These conditions include:
- head, neck and spinal injuries.
- headaches, anxiety, depression.
- organ dysfunctions.
- learning difficulties.
- TMJ issues.
- Dental problems.
- Trauma of all kinds including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and concussion.
It is recommended to discuss your needs with me and we can decide what will best serve you, if it is within my scope of practice and a referral if appropriate.
Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is the ideal stress reducing treatment for anyone who is suffering from aching shoulders, a tight neck, headaches, eye strain, insomnia or poor concentration.
The use of organic, virgin vegetable oil in the treatment of the scalp can have a strong influence on the strength, lustre and health of your hair.
Due to the increase in blood flow to the hair follicles, hair growth is increased.
Part of the treatment is to be able to diagnose and balance the state of the chakras. Each chakra, or energy vortex, corresponds to a different gland and governs specific parts of the physical body and areas of psychological and spiritual development.
Assisting these areas to remain in balance is a highly effective way of staying in good health.
It is a safe, simple, very effective therapy renowned for relieving symptoms of stress.

Middle Eastern Dance
In its true form this dance is a spiritual dance. It requires a deep connection with the music, listening with the body and using natural movements ranging from the hips and pelvis, through the diaphragm and chest all the way up to the head. These skills build over time and your own unique timeline is honoured and understood.
Our hips are designed to gently sway as we walk and our bellies to be soft as well as taut. Middle Eastern dance helps us to reconnect with our physical body, with our essential femininity and with our sensuality.
It is important for our young girls to see more mature women comfortable in their body, regardless of shape and size and to see that every body is capable of beautiful movement that has grace and ease. This is why women of all ages dance together.
Middle Eastern dance marks special times in women’s lives such as birth, puberty and marriage and is used to help relieve various heightened emotional states including anxiety, depression and frustration. It is an excellent form of exercise, including during pregnancy and the post-partum period.
Through the practice of this dance, a rare opportunity is provided in which we can calm our mind and fully lose ourselves in the rhythm and movements of the moment.

This service is offered as a group class. Please contact me for session length and cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a warm up and cool down?
Yes, as this is very important.
I also include energy medicine exercises in our warm up and cool down to balance and ground our energies. These are tools that you can use everyday to keep you in your best health of mind, body and spirit.
What is the age limit?
There is no age limit. We are learning movements that the body is designed to do. A reasonable level of fitness and flexibility is required.
I design my classes to benefit women of all ages, sizes and professions who are interested in the spiritual, emotional and physical benefits of belly dancing.
Can I drop in?
I teach in sessions of 10-12 classes.
I am teaching dance techniques and movements that build on one another and gradually increase in complexity so this does not suit a drop-in style of class.
What types of Middle Eastern dance do you teach?
Egyptian and Moroccan Chaabi and a fusion of the two.
What should I wear?
Please wear what makes your soul feel good!
Clothing needs to be comfortable and flexible, either pants or skirt.
Dress in layers, as we soon warm up!
We dance in bare feet.
Foundation training
Foundation Training was developed by chiropractor and movement expert Dr. Eric Goodman in order to heal his chronic back pain and avoid surgery for multiple disc herniations.
Modern life often means living a much more sedentary lifestyle than our bodies were designed for. Many of us sit for hours over screens, devices, steering wheels and desks. This often causes a compression force in our body, leading to pain, loss of joint mobility and muscular balance and strength.
Foundation Training uses a combination of powerful movements and conscious breathing work to restore space in our body and activate the muscles in our posterior chain. When practised regularly, pain diminishes, resistance to injury increases and our body comes to life! It targets the source of the pain making it a long term solution for health.
This is a journey of both physical discovery and deepened self-awareness enabling you to reclaim control over your body and be the best version of you.

Testimonials
Want to share your experience? Contact me today!
Aside from the relaxing qualities of the massage, a lot of other healing took place.
It was the first time I had ever experienced energy medicine. I learnt that there’s a lot more to learn about your body than one would think. She taught me about pathways and meridians that you can trace and heal yourself at home.
She showed me how curled in my arms and chest were because of my work and how to stretch them to relieve tension.
While she’s exploring your energies she’s teaching you how to help yourself in everyday life. I felt safe with her. She has the qualities of a teacher as well as a healer. You end up taking away a lot from the session.
In my opinion, an Indian head massage is a great first step into experiencing Energy Medicine. 💗🤗
I expect it will be life-changing, bringing new focus and wonderful soul purpose developments!!!
Over the years, she has taught me the empowering potential of being in touch with my own body through the intimate and healing practice of EEM. Through her teachings of Middle Eastern dance, I rediscovered the intuitive knowledge I hold as a woman, mother and dancer. I am forever grateful.
I really am impressed with the woman I have become which I owe a lot to you and belly dancing.
I have gained self-confidence and I am comfortable in my own skin.
Thank you again Anann! You should begin to this more often! I know how much work goes into a day like this, but wow the benefits it gives!
My energy level feels balanced and my mind has so much clarity. My neck feels relaxed and unobstructed. Overall, I feel lighter. Truly unbelievable. I haven’t felt like “ME” in a very long time. I am very grateful.
Thank you again 🙂 .
Don’t wait any longer to start your journey.
