An alternative approach to health

TEMISKAMING SHORES - “Any healing can be done, but it must start within.”
So says Nancy Thibault, a New Liskeard woman who is the force behind Inner Healings.
The new enterprise offering “holistic health and wellness therapies” is located in renovated quarters on the lower level of 213 Whitewood Avenue in New Liskeard.
Ms. Thibault offers a range of services, including several types of massage and reflexology.
But clients can also try a sauna that uses infrared heat rather than traditional steam. Or, they can step on to a whole body vibration machine that resembles a piece of exercise equipment or weigh scale.
The business also carries nutritional supplements and health and beauty products, many manufactured by Pür Element, a Canadian company.
Inner Healings grew out of her own experiences.
“My own health and my own life issues brought me to look deeper into alternative medicine,” she said.
About nine years ago, she said she had a brush with cancer. She also suffered from migraines and food allergies.
It spurred her to explore the reasons behind her illnesses and non-conventional treatments.
BACKGROUND
She has a background in health care.
She first trained as a personal support worker and then studied palliative care. She became interested with children in special needs and trained to become a teaching assistant and special needs worker.
She has worked at Northdale Manor as a physiotherapy assistant and as a home care worker. She also switched fields, spending six years teaching computer skills.
Her exploration of alternative medicine led her to take courses in, for example, holistic beauty therapy and nutritional consulting.
As she tried new therapies and changed her diet, she said she regained her own health.
“For me, the key to health is physical, mental and spiritual balance.”
Renovations to the space housing Inner Healings began about two months ago. Rooms provide privacy for individual treatments.
“We know that more and more people are becoming aware of their health, and people like you are there to help,” said Matt Duke, president of the Temiskaming Shores and Area Chamber of Commerce, at opening ceremonies August 6.
“I want to thank you for believing in this city,” said Temiskaming Shores Deputy-Mayor Mike McArthur.
Inner Healings is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and in the evenings and on weekends by appointment.
