Examples of conditions treated include: neck, pelvic, joint and back pain, concussions, headaches/migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, postural imbalances, sciatica, digestive and menstrual issues, prenatal/postpartum care, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, common ailments of office workers, and sleep, stress and energy problems.

She is an avid learner and is passionate about holistic and natural health and wellness, preventative and integrative medicine, and sharing this knowledge with people. She also believes in mind-body medicine, and aims to help, support and empower people to take charge of their health and be proactive in their healing journey and personal well-being, so they can live their best lives.

Carole Joly est thérapeute accréditée en réflexologie au Canada (TARC) et le pratique depuis 1998. La réflexologie est l’étude des réflexes et ses thérapies sont des méthodes naturelles basées sur cette étude. Elles se basent sur le principe qu’il existe des réflexes dans le corps qui correspondent à d’autres parties, glandes et organes du corps. Avec l’application de pression à ces points réflexes, elle peut diminuer la tension, améliorer la circulation et soutenir le corps dans ses fonctions optimales. C’est une thérapie non invasive. Nul besoin de vous dévêtir, il suffit de porter des vêtements légers et amples.
