Wellness Retreat in Canada
December 3rd 2011 -
A wellness retreat called "A Happinest" is located on the Gulf Islands in Canada. It provides small but inviting cabins in a rural setting where the owners also live with their two small children. The furnishings are designed to provide maximum comfort, but these are just the backdrop for the deep restorative treatments offered here.
The owners are a registered acupuncturist and craniosacral therapist, and a "Rolfer". They are refugees from the city of Vancouver, where they left corporate jobs to start a new life helping others at their country retreat. The Happinest is a B&B accommodation as well as a therapy site, and it has allowed the couple to bring over clients from Vancouver and Victoria for extended treatment plans. The Rolfing treatment is the only one available in the town of Salt Spring, Rolfing was developed 50 years ago as a treatment to release tension, realign and balance the entire body.
