Sound Healing and Acupuncture Workshop

Release stress and support the immune system

With Shelly Cassivi and Dr. Kayla Springer, ND

In these challenging times it is vitally important to manage the stress in our bodies and build our immunity. This workshop will combine a progressive relaxing meditation with sound healing and acupuncture to provide a powerful tonic for your immune and nervous systems.

In Tradition Chinese Medicine, the immune system is viewed as a function of a healthy body with balanced energy flow. When energy becomes stagnant, dysregulation in the body and nervous system can manifest as decreased vibrance and vitality. This can show up in any aspect of our lives – from our physical to mental and emotional health.

This year has stirred up our world, and the effects may be felt in physical and energetic levels of our bodies. Pertinent to these times of uncertainty and change this workshop will focus on restoring a balance of yin and yang in the body, specifically nourishing the building blocks of the immune and nervous systems.

Dr. Kayla Springer, ND

My journey into medicine started at a young age. I’ve always felt a calling to become a physician, but within the medical system I saw people becoming sicker and sicker, taking pills to mask side effects from other pills, and I knew there had to be another way. For a while I felt lost – wanting to answer to my calling as a healer, but not within the realm of the western medical system. When I was eventually introduced to Naturopathic medicine, I immediately knew I had found my calling. I completed my undergraduate degree in behavioural neuroscience at SFU, and then enrolled in the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine Program at Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in Vancouver, BC.

My personal and professional philosophy ultimately stems from a value of connection and balance. I believe that the human body and mind function optimally when we cultivate a strong relationship to ourselves, to others, and to our planet. Personally, I find my value when I stand as a positive energy in the lives of others, and my goal as is to create a foundation for healing and growth, foster an environment for personal empowerment, and support health and wellness in the bodies, minds, and spirits of my patients. Medicine requires authenticity, support, and honesty, and I uphold these in every one of my patient encounters.

Through my education, training, and experiences, I have developed a unique set of skills to help people achieve more balance, feel more magic in their lives, cultivate more connection, and to feel more comfortable in their own skin. I love all aspects of medicine and have a well rounded foundation in many conditions, but have a special interest in skin conditions, environmental medicine, allergies, immune dysfunction, and detoxification.
