I'm Tracey TieF.
Anarres Natural Health is my wholistic health practice in downtown Toronto, Ontario.

Are your health concerns "under the radar" of the medical system?
Is there something that you KNOW you NEED to change, but want some help getting it together?
Always wanted to make potions?

I enjoy working with people who are interested in learning how to heal and
who are seeking alternatives to pharmaceutically-driven health care.
I seek to restore mental, physical and spiritual health and natural beauty to my clients through:

* The production, from scratch, of wholesome health and beauty products
* Wholistic and aesthetic aromatherapy, the hands on, therapeutic use of essential oils, resins, hydrosols and infusions from plants
* Reflexology, a foot massage technique that stimulates the whole body through the reflexes of the foot
* Massage Chair Bodywork a clothed massage available to groups and offices travelling by TTC in the GTA
* Qi Stone Therapy, a deep massage technique that uses heated and sometimes cooled stones
* Qi Drop Therapy, a technique of applying specific essential oils to the spine to initiate healing and detoxification
* Polarity Therapy, Chakra Balancing and Usui Reiki, techniques to balance energies throughout the body and to heal
* Natural health counselling, caring advice on which alternative health therapies are likely to suit your needs, preferences and budget
* Relaxation Therapy, customized instruction and practice in techniques to learn relaxation and to stimulate healing.
* Customized training in health and beauty product making, crisis intervention and prevention, healthy food preparation and eating

I BRING TO MY PRACTICE A BREADTH OF QUALIFICATIONS and EXPERIENCE.

I carry on a family tradition in the healing arts. My grandmother, a nurse, farmer and natural healer, treated diabetes and polio with
therapeutic massage and wholistic nutrition, and was recognized as Canada's first physiotherapist. My mother is an internationally
recognized health educator and occupational health nurse. In my five years living at the inner city anarchist community, Kathedral B,
I added the therapeutic use of herbs and vegan foods to my knowledge of folk and wholistic medicine.

I have an extensive background in physical therapies and the healing arts.

I am recognized by the Canadian Examining Board of Health Care Practitioners as a Certified Natural Health Practitioner,
Registered Aromatherapy Health Practitioner and Certified Reflexology Health Practitioner through The School of Holistic Studies,
Institute of Aromatherapy, where I studied Lymphatic Drainage and Advanced Massage, Aromatherapy, Thai Reflexology and Foot Massage,
Reflexology, Anatomy and Physiology, Basic and Advanced Aromatology (Phytotherapy), soap, shampoo, conditioner and cosmetic making,
Massage Chair Bodywork, Business Studies, Orientation and Practicum, Thai Yoga Massage, First Aid, Basic and Advanced Aroma
Cosmetology (Holistic Skin Care), Nutritional Symptomology / Clinical Nutrition, and supervised clinical experience with seniors and at the SHS Student Clinic.

I hold diplomas with highest honours from Stratford Career Institute in Fitness and Nutrition, Relaxation Therapy, and Natural Health
Consulting. I am also certified through the India-based Institute of Holistic Health Sciences in Chakras and Integrated Healing.

I WAS A BURNT-OUT SOCIAL WORKER WHEN I DECIDED TO PURSUE MY CALLING.

I have 17 years of experience helping people in the social services with a Diploma in Lay Ministry from the University of Toronto,
Wycliffe College, a Post-Graduate Certificate in Family Work from George Brown College and certificates in Certified Crisis
Intervention and Prevention Trainer and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. In addition, I trained as a Certified Joint Health
and Safety Committee Member (parts 1 and 2) through The Worker's Health and Safety Centre, studied Small Group Work and Adult Education
at the Saint Clare Centre, health promotion, food handling and STI prevention programs through the Toronto Department of Public Health
and Community Kitchen and nutrition promotion programs at Food Share.

My experience as a dancer gives me a dynamic perspective on working with the body. I was first exposed to physical therapies as a bursary
student in the Junior Professional Program of the Atlantic Ballet, an apprentice with Nova Dance Theatre, and while earning my Honours
BFA at York University.

I continue to dance, to learn, and to wonder at the art and power of the human body, mind and spirit.
