Zen Health Haven, Courtenay’s first and only fully integrated holistic wellness centre, celebrated its grand opening on Saturday, introducing Valley residents to a wealth of holistic health practitioners under one roof.
Visitors met the centre’s six holistic healthcare providers, who offer more than 12 different therapies within the 280-square metre centre. They also got the chance to tour the facility, which includes a central meeting and meditation room – The Haven – complete with skylight and ideal for workshops, yoga classes and quiet reflection.
The new owners of Zen Zero Juice Fountain, just next door, offered special discounts and free shots of wheatgrass juice during the event.
“What we’ve created is a welcoming space where people can find a complementary approach to solving health issues or simply maintaining wellness,” explains Peter Morrow, who co-founded the centre this summer with his wife Christine Ringer-Morrow. “What makes us unique is that we’re offering an integrated format, incorporating several different treatment options to better meet the needs of each individual.”
The therapies offered at the Zen Health Haven are wide-ranging, but they all have one thing in common – they take a holistic approach to optimal health and well-being.
Morrow, a health practitioner for more than 10 years, offers both live cell microscopy, where he identifies health issues by analyzing a single drop of blood, as well as an innovative new therapy called psychosomatic energetics (PSE). Pioneered in Austria by medical and naturopathic doctors, PSE finds and treats energy blocks in the autonomic nervous system that cause physical and emotional disharmony. Morrow is one of only 35 practitioners in North America trained in PSE at the certification level.
Christine Ringer-Morrow provides raw lifestyle nutritional consultations under the name Raw Blessings, and Julie Canning offers a number of preventative treatments including colon hydrotherapy, ionizing foot detoxification, pH analysis and iridology (analysis of the iris). Advanced computerized chiropractic technology, unique to Vancouver Island, is available from Dr. Gregory O. Eisert, and Linda Parker’s Good Vibrations fitness and healing studio features whole-body vibration technology, aromatherapy and infrared massage and sauna treatments.
The Centre even features the Comox Valley’s first “holistic financial planner,” Curtis Scoville, who takes his clients’ values and lifestyle goals into account before coming up with a plan to get them there.
“We’re all working toward giving the people of the Comox Valley the tools to obtain and maintain a healthy lifestyle,” says Morrow. “It’s all about balance. We empower people by giving them individualized treatment programs tailored to their specific needs and the current state of their health. What we offer acknowledges the importance of true health, or healing for the body, mind and soul.”
The Zen Health Haven is located at 407 Fifth Street, beside Zen Zero Juice Fountain, in downtown Courtenay. For more information, to book an appointment or to enquire about joining its team of practitioners, call 250-334-9363.
