Gina Forbes

Intuitive Energy Healing Reiki Practitioner

She/Her

My journey into energy healing began with a single Reiki course that changed everything. What started as simple curiosity quickly revealed itself as a calling. In that moment, I knew I had stepped onto the path I was meant to walk.

Since then, I’ve devoted years to training, advanced study, and hands-on practice. I am a Reiki Master, an Advanced Integrated Energy Therapy Practitioner, Level One Yoga Nidra Teacher, and a Certified Intuitive Coach. Each modality has expanded my capacity to support others in deep, meaningful, and lasting ways.

I believe healing is far more than relaxation. It’s the gentle unraveling of emotional and energetic blocks that keep you feeling stuck. It’s the process of reconnecting with your intuition, your clarity, and your personal power.

In my sessions, I hold a grounded, compassionate space where you can safely release what no longer serves you and step into who you are becoming. Whether you’re navigating stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I meet you exactly where you are.

My work is intuitive, personalized, and heart-centered. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. I believe in listening deeply, tuning into your energy, and guiding you toward balance, clarity, and confidence.

It is an honour to walk alongside my clients as they rediscover their strength, trust themselves more fully, and create lives that feel aligned and empowered.

Pamela Wolk, RMT

She/Her

Pamela is a massage therapist committed to delivering individualized care that promotes both immediate pain relief and long-term well-being. Pamela’s most recent modality is RAPID NFR Neurofascial Reset — an active therapeutic technique that can quickly eliminate pain, improve mobility, and support faster healing, an efficient option for clients seeking pain relief.

Pamela’s relaxation massage goes beyond just easing stress, it also helps improve circulation, boost the immune system and promote deeper sleep leaving you feeling rejuvenated and more balanced.

Pamela began her journey in 1992 with a relaxation massage course in San Diego, California. Wanting to make massage her career, in 2008 she earned her registered massage therapy accreditation from Vicars School of Massage Therapy, Edmonton, Alberta.
