Extended Health Claim Forms Now Available

There are insurance companies within Canada who offer Reiki as a paid benefit in their Extended Health Care package. The Canadian Reiki Association is now providing Reiki therapists with a professionally designed extended health claim form for our clients.

Clients will complete the form with their policy information, and then submit the claim to their provider.  If claims have been rejected, we ask that you continue to submit new forms with all subsequent claims.  Rejected claims will only bring awareness to the Insurance Industry.  It is our intention that this form of awareness will help to shift the Insurance Industry to include Reiki in all Extended Health Care packages.  

                       WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE!

Thank you for choosing Reiki as an effective alternative and preventative health option.

Healthy Summer Smoothies

Summer is here and sometimes in the afternoon I need a refreshing energy boost or a quick lunch on the go.
I often will make a shake with fresh fruits and veggies to drink at home or take with me in a Mason jar in a cooler bag. If it's a lunch on the go, then take a plant protein side with you as well. I say plant because for optimum digestion, you don't want to mix animal protein with fruit and veggies. 
I love fresh juices as well but these smoothies are great because you get the healthy fibre as well as the nutrients and yummy flavour. I use a good quality blender that gets everything smooth and creamy.
I don't add ice while blending but you can add it after and stir to cool the mixture to your liking, use frozen fruit or just refrigerate for a while. These are best consumed the same day of making.
Here are my three favourite recipes. 
Let me know if you like them too.
