Melissa Dunseith Reflexologist / Reiki Master   Bio Natural healing is a way of life that Melissa Dunseith practices every day. Melissa graduated from McMaster University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Kinesiology and Minor in Psychology, and continued her healing arts studies with Reflexology and Reiki.    Melissa discovered reflexology through her search for a more holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to healing.  She studied with the acclaimed reflexologist and acupuncturist Chin Hwa-Chu, highly recommended by the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC). In 2005, Melissa opened up her own practice as a Certified Reflexologist and Natural Product Advisor in Winnipeg, Manitoba. During a reflexology session, Melissa applies pressure to the feet, hands and/or ears that correspond to specific organs, glands and parts of the body. Through this stimulation, she is able to help detoxify the body, improve circulation, decrease stress, create a deep state of relaxation, and improve overall health.   In 2006, Melissa was first introduced to the hands on healing technique known as Reiki. Since then, she has completed all levels of study with various Reiki Masters in Kenya and across Canada. Melissa currently practices as a Reiki Master and is very excited to announce that she will begin to teach Reiki courses to new students in the very near future! This holistic, energy-based modality helps enhance and accelerate the body’s innate healing ability. Reiki can be used to address the root cause of illness, as well as its physical and emotional manifestations. Reiki is simple, safe, non-invasive and can be given to anyone, any place, any time and in any situation. It is a wonderful complement to all holistic therapies and allopathic medical treatments.    Currently, Melissa is completing her first year of Ayurvedic Medicine through the California College of Ayurveda. In addition, she will receive specialized training at Kikkawa Collage this Fall to further her skills as a Registered Massage Therapist.   After several years of studying both Eastern and Western sciences, Melissa offers her clients extensive knowledge of reflexology (feet, hands, ears and maternity), reiki, ayurveda, natural herbs and supplements, guasha, chair massage, hot stone massage, hot oil scalp massage, body wraps and scrubs, facials and how to use acupuncture meridians for more effective treatments. As an experienced, licensed Holistic Practitioner, Melissa has had great success treating clients with various ailments such as: IBS, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, pregnancy related issues, allergies, sinus congestion, eye pain/infections, anxiety, depression, grief, athletic injuries (acute and chronic), insomnia, low libido, incontinence, PMS, menopause, amenorrhea, back pain, stress, headaches, migraines, anger, fear, muscle and joint pain, arthritis, sore throats, persistent coughs, respiratory conditions, leg cramps, chronic fatigue, nausea, vertigo and sore feet.     Fees Melissa (reflex / Reiki, etc) 30 min    $45.00      45 min    $  65.00    60 min    $75.00      90 min    $115.00     Testimonials My name is Laurie and I have had the pleasure of having some Reiki treatments performed by Melissa and I would highly recommend these treatments to anyone! I have tried other various forms of relaxation including massage, yoga, and meditation, and none of these were able to get me to the state of relaxation as a Reiki treatment by Melissa. It also helped me to become more in tune with my body and seemed to increase my mood and energy level for days after! Melissa was also able to accurately sense any areas on my body that seemed to be trouble spots focus her energy in to these areas. I was a skeptic about Reiki before my first treatment but was very pleasantly surprised by its healing abilities and am looking forward to many more treatments by Melissa in the future!   Laurie Kiehn Registered Nurse Mississauga, ON   I received reflexology treatments from Melissa for about 2 years.  Melissa always made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. I was amazed at how quickly she could pinpoint a weakness such as a sore throat or an aching hip and how that weakness was eliminated. I learned so much from Melissa because she would  explain what area she was working on. If I felt some discomfort, she would stop working on that area and usually come back to it later in the treatment.   She never rushed a treatment and I often felt that she was looking after my emotional needs as well as my physical needs. Melissa was very organized in her care. She seemed to make notes of each treatment and study those notes before beginning the next treatment. The day after each treatment, I felt that I was walking on air!   Bonnie Berry Winnipeg, Manitoba   Melissa's wealth of knowledge, sensitive and caring touch and great technique have assisted me with digestion issues - she pinpoints problem areas with amazing accuracy - I always feel so much better after a reflexology session and look forward to more therapy with her.   Moreen Murray Toronto, ON   After years of dealing with a sluggish digestive system and seeing countless practitioners from homeopaths and naturopaths to nutritionists, Melissa was finally able to regulate my system through her reflexology treatments in a relatively short amount of time.   Having been to dozens of alternative treatment practitioners in the past several decades, it is easy to spot a truly gifted practitioner and Melissa is one of those rare beings. Her magical skills and highly developed intuition serve her well and benefits her clients. Her capabilities combined with a shining spirit, deep compassion, acute intelligence and a fathomless curiosity about life make sessions with her particularly stimulating. She is a rare gem and I feel privileged to have met her and to have been a client. And my digestive system thanks her immeasurably!   Luba Lesychyn Yoga Instructor and Reiki Practitioner Toronto   In one summer of intense touring on a provincial ultimate frisbee team, Melissa performed several different treatments including reflexology and Reiki that showed me dramatic and immediate results. She used reflexology to treat my knee that had been bothering me for weeks, and within just a handful of treatments (as well as daily mini-reflexology treatments that she showed me how give myself) the pain was gone. I was slightly more skeptical about Reiki, which she used to treat pain in my lower leg and ankle. Again, despite my skepticism, the effect was undeniable and effective; I could very clearly feel an unusual warmth throughout the affected area (enough to break a sweat, just sitting there!) and relief came quickly. Thanks Mel!   Shawn Lee Toronto, ON   I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa just as she was starting her training in Reflexology. I was having trouble with my digestive system and so I became her patient. Melissa exposed me to how reflexology can manipulate the body's energy and nervous system and help you heal. She is the best I know at what she does and I am now an acupuncturist because of her influence.   Paul Marchinko Winnipeg, MB   Back one Page Back To Main Page
