​
I am passionate about teaching Reiki and Reflexology!
​As a Registered Reflexologist who has been practicing for 10 years, I now enjoy teaching others this beautiful and therapeutic modality.
One of my gifts is encouraging my students to find their own unique and authentic style while maintaining the integrity of the practice. It is important for blossoming practitioners to be supported as they learn, grow and find their individual path.
​I've also been a Reiki Master for twelve years. I believe that everyone would benefit from learning reiki and getting attuned to reiki energy. It's such a beautiful gift to have the ability to lessen/ heal pain, emotional distress and illness in your own body or in your loved ones.
​​After working as a Paramedic for 11 years I developed severe PTSD. Reflexology and Reiki were a huge part of my own healing journey. Now I am passing this knowledge on to my students, so they too can take part in healing others around them.
​I love seeing the changes and growth in my students and I am passionate about mentoring others to be the best practitioner that they can possibly be.
​I hope to see you in class!

Chelsea Harris
Canadian Reiki Association Accredited Teacher/ Practitioner,
Yoga/ Meditation Instructor, Registered Reflexologist, Holistic Massage Practitioner
After working various jobs in the customer service industry in my early 20's and dealing with extreme anxiety and panic attacks I found myself on a medical leave, unsure of what my future held. When it came time to regroup and make a new plan for myself I asked myself "What makes me feel good when I'm doing it?" At that time I was volunteering once a week doing Reiki with a group of First Nations Elders and I LOVED my time there with them...So I went all-in and slowly built up my Reiki practice, eventually opening up my own studio and expanding services from there.
My sensitivities that overwhelmed me in a hectic customer service environment became my superpowers when I was one-on-one with people and it felt safe to relax into and explore my abilities. I learned very quickly that I like to connect with people in a way that is real, vulnerable and open and that most people were lacking a safe-space like that in their lives. With a shared intention for healing and open trust in the energywork I was providing, this form of connecting led to massive transformations for my clients and I found what I was meant to be doing!
This is what makes me so passionate about teaching holistic healing methods such as Reiki and Reflexology. I know there are other big-hearted people out there who feel deeply called to help others but need the encouragement, guidance, confidence and tools to shift into their purpose. I also know there are countless people out there waiting for your unique style of healing that only you can offer!
Whether you want to learn Reiki for your own betterment and spiritual development or if you're wanting to start your own practice, I am thrilled and honored to help you step into your power and remember who you are when you're held in a space that celebrates all parts of you and nurtures you into the full, unique expression of who you're meant to be.
If you feel the call and would like support in any way, let's connect.

Clarke
Non-Registered Massage Therapist, 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training, Reflexologist, Reiki Level 2 Practitioner
My holistic journey began in 2020, when I decided to delve into various healing practices. I completed my massage therapy education and achieved my Reiki Level 1 and 2 certifications. I found that my yoga teacher training also deepened my connection to mind, body, and spirit. Since then, I have integrated these modalities into my practice and have expanded my offerings to include reflexology and Indian head massage.
​In addition to my hands-on treatments, I am dedicated to sharing my expertise through the courses PetalRoot offers, including both beginner and advanced reflexology courses, which I have been the assistant teacher for on many occasions. I have also helped facilitate Reiki courses and leading transformational workshops and events designed to empower individuals on their own wellness journeys.
​My approach to wellness is holistic, focusing not just on physical relief, but on emotional and energetic healing as well. I believe that true healing involves nurturing the body, mind, and spirit, and I holds space for clients to explore these aspects of themselves in a safe and supportive environment. I am excited to continue developing new courses to further support and guide those seeking balance, health, and inner peace.
​My treatments, including massage therapy, reflexology, and Indian head massage, are designed to help clients find relief from physical pain, emotional stress, and energetic blockages. My motto is to "leave it better than you found it," and I am dedicated to helping others refill their cups, ensuring they can be the best version of themselves without risk of burnout.
​Join me on this transformative journey of wellness, as I support you in discovering the power of self-care, healing, and empowerment.
Keep an eye out for more upcoming courses designed to help you elevate your practice and well-being

Kelly
Registered Reflexologist, Reiki Master, Tuning Forks Certificate
​
I have always been interested in learning and incorporating, in my own life, natural ways of healing and learning how to trust my own body to guide me in what is needed.
I worked for 25 years in a high stress job that came with many benefits as I was supporting others in their own journeys yet the stress was , at times, debilitating.
In 2019 I was introduced to the benefits of reflexology and reiki. The benefits from these modalities allowed me to better manage my autoimmune disorder and also manage in a healthier way the stress that came with my full time job.
I have been practicing reflexology and reiki since 2020 and have been registered since 2025.
I am passionate about helping others learn reflexology and the benefits it can have, especially hand reflexology as it can be very discreet and done on oneself. I have assisted teaching in both reflexology and reiki courses.
My treatments include reflexology, reiki and sound healing or a combination of these treatments. I am a practitioner who holds space for what you need and know that healing takes place not only on a physical level yet on an emotional and energetic level as well.
I look forward to seeing you in class and supporting your learning in these amazing modalities. No matter how you plan to use what you learn- treatment on yourself, your friends, your family or pets, you will leave class with new knowledge that is beneficial to yourself and those around you.
Happy learning!

I love learning, sharing my knowledge, and offering a nurturing space for personal growth to flourish. I am a life long learner of the physical and energetic workings of the human body and am fascinated with how we connect and relate to the world. As an instructor, I offer a lived experience of the material I teach.
My education is varied and has always been health and body focused. Although I am university educated, my university education was theory based and did not help me in my greatest time of need. I was one of the unfortunate people to be diagnosed with Long Covid, and specifically Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. I found myself dealing with a state of being I was not prepared for and couldn't navigate. I was exhausted, scared, and felt helpless. I needed techniques, not theory.
I sought out practical training so that I could learn how to self-regulate and also be qualified to teach. I've earned certificates in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery, Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies, and Somatic Yoga & Nervous System Regulation. I'm passionate about teaching, especially about nervous system states and self-regulation strategies. I don't want anyone feeling helpless and scared the way I did. I believe our community is healthier the more we support each other and co-regulate to a place of safety.
