Your Path to Feeling Better:
CERTIFIED MASTER HERBALIST
Tara Pasher is a Certified Master Herbalist who assists clients by determining the cause of their health conditions. For Tara to help you with your health condition, you would have to book an appointment for a complete computerized health evaluation. Tara understands that dealing with a client’s health is much more than just a diagnosis of disease. Rather, each client is a unique individual dealing with health imbalances that have manifested and within whom this manifestation can be reversed. The body has the natural ability to heal itself. Tara is eager to assist each client by creating a plan to utilize customized liquid herbal tinctures, specific diet suggestions, and homeopathic medicine, combined with other therapies to help your body reach optimal health and wellbeing. During your initial health appointment, Tara will first briefly discuss your health history. Next, she will perform the Computerized Electro-acupressure health screening test using the Avatar system. Tara uses an advanced computer program, a brass cylinder, a sensitive ohm meter, and a non-invasive touch probe to check acupressure points on the hands and feet that correlate to specific organ systems and tissues in the body. Electro-dermal health screening technology measures the life force energy flow which circulates through the twelve main energetic pathways (meridians) to determine which areas are showing energy blockages. Energy blockages create an imbalance in organ systems and tissues that predisposes the body to disease or symptoms. Areas that are tested include acupressure points related to the lymphatic system, the immune system, circulatory system, lungs, digestive system (liver, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large bowel, pancreas) endocrine system (adrenal glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, pituitary gland, pineal gland), breast tissue, ovaries, uterus, vagina or prostate, penis, sperm tubes, urinary system, skin, skeletal and nervous system.
FOOD SENSITIVITIES TESTING
A thorough Test including over 100 Foods like fruit, vegetables, grains, beverages, legumes, GMOs, Spices, meat, flavourings, nuts and seeds.
IONIC FOOT BATH
The ionic footbath is a relaxing and effective way to detoxify, cleanse and balance the body. It helps improves oxygenation and balance the Chi (Qi) energy field. Overtime toxic waste will accumulate to its full potential. Toxic waste comes from numerous sources, such as poor diet, process foods, tobacco smoke, alcohol, air pollution, pesticides, and industrial pollutants. As a result of toxic buildup in the body people may start to experience, allergies, pain, fatigue, stress, and other mental and physical symptoms. The buildup of access waste creates an acidic internal body environment thus reducing the body’s ability to properly absorb nutrients to heal itself and prevent disease. When the body is in an alkaline state disease forming cells are unable to survive. Additionally, detoxification does not end immediately once the session is complete. Elimination of neutralized particles also occur at the bodies own pace through the kidney liver and skin.

PREGNANCY OSTEOPATHY
Don’t see a spot that suits you? Your needs are very important Lisa, and Vital Link. Please call the office and our receptionist will work with you to find a spot with Lisa asap.
Osteopathy is a safe form of physical therapy through all stages of pregnancy. Your practitioner will only use techniques and forms of treatment that will enhance your health and well-being. Osteopathic treatment is helpful in assisting the body to adapt to the postural changes and makes the pregnancy much more comfortable. An important part of preparation for childbirth is to ensure that the mother’s pelvis is structurally balanced and able to allow the passage of the baby down the birth canal.
INFANT OSTEOPATHY (NEWBORN - AGE 2)
Don’t see a spot that suits you? Your needs are very important Lisa, and Vital Link. Please call the office and our receptionist will work with you to find a spot with Lisa asap.
Osteopathy for babies & children is a gentle and non-invasive technique whereby the practitioner aids the body’s natural self-correcting mechanism to relieve trauma that may have occurred during birth.
The movement of the baby through the cervix in labour obliges the head to move in several specific directions whilst undergoing the powerful pressure of the contractions, this naturally causes some overlapping of the skull and compression. Some compressions may be relieved spontaneously after birth as the baby cries or suckles; however, this un-moulding process is often incomplete, especially if the birth has been difficult. Babies who have experienced forceps delivery, a long labour or caesarean birth may develop cranial compression issues resulting in:
Colic or Excessive Crying
Regurgitation
Sinus problems
Sleep disturbances
Suckling/Feeding difficulties
Unsettled restless babies
Discomfort while lying on his/her back
Postural problems
Aches and pains associated with growing
Headaches
Reactions to treatment are variable, often the baby or child is very relaxed afterwards and sleeps well. Others have a burst of energy after treatment, usually followed by a good night sleep. Occasionally the child may seem unsettled and this is merely because treatment may take a few hours or days to complete.
CHILD/ADULT OSTEOPATHY (Age 3 - UP)
Please note an initial is to be made after one year of not seeing a practitioner at Vital Link.
