Two Open Reiki Appointments in Cambridge

First Come First Served

Reiki is an ancient healing technique.

Reiki is a simple procedure, consisting of calm and concentrated touching, with the practitioner focusing on healing and giving energy to specific areas on the receiver's body.

Shuchanna's Triathalon Fundraiser

My name is Shuchanna Swaby and I am the Chair of the Board of Directors of HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre. In August 2012, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Thanks to an incredible medical team, a personal dedication to my physical fitness, and the psychosocial support provided by HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre, I have overcome the disease and am now dedicating my time to ensure others on the cancer journey have the same access to emotional, spiritual and psychological support.

I have decided to combine my newfound passion of physical fitness and wellness with my gratitude and dedication to HopeSpring.  On September 2, 2017 I will be participating in the Guelph Lake II triathlon in order to raise money for HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre. I and seven other “Wonder Women” who will be joining me in this race to raise funds have a combined fundraising goal of $20,000. 

Please donate so that others can experience the same hope. Donations may be made online through Canada Helps at  <http://hopespring.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=f53f41b72b&e=ece80c31c3> https://www.canadahelps.org. Donations may also be made directly to HopeSpring by calling (519) 742-HOPE. Cheques may be made out to HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre.
