Gift a Present of PRESENCE

Rita M Krebs knows presence. Although she is a Registered Social Worker (Counsellor), Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Professional Life Coach, Shaman/Master Healer and Reiki Master/Teacher, she maintains that the real training was through her journey of disassociation from complex childhood trauma. “We are not our trauma, we are simply cloaked in it – until we aren’t”. Rita creates a technology of healing that brings her clients results without reliving the past. “The sweet spot is when my clients become present to who they really are – “Presence” is the ultimate gift.”

Honour Yourself During the Holidays

The holidays can be a time of loving reunions, catch-ups, heartfelt connections, and joy, or they can be filled with obligations, expectations, and old patterns with emerging drama. When we can empower ourselves to know we have a choice as to where to best put our energies, what to let go of and forgive, and where to take a stand and set boundaries, we honour ourselves. Despite the illusion of social media, the “perfect family” does not exist where all things look “wonderful and together” all the time. Instead, the holidays offer us the perfect opportunity to stay true and nurture ourselves in the midst of giving and receiving.

Interview With Dr. Narotam

What inspired you to get into your profession? I’ve always been fascinated by the brain and nervous system, and how they connect through the spine. As a teenager, I would help my mom with neck tension, which sparked my interest in chiropractic care and natural healing. What is your specialty? I specialize in treating osteoarthritis, migraines, tension, and cervicogenic headaches. My unique approach combines soft tissue therapy, gentle mobilizations, and joint manipulations, along with techniques like myofascial trigger point therapy and Graston. Why should customers choose you? I’m passionate about healing, and I genuinely care for my patients. With over 10 years of experience, I strive to ease pain and restore function through effective, hands-on care.
