- [The Feet Have It.](https://mosaichealing.ca/elementor-719/): Originally posted on 08/12/2013 by Edward Interesting that at this time of year we (seemingly) take the stresses enjoyed in our daily lives and multiply them exponentially in the celebrations of the holiday season. Additional social gatherings to attend, gifts to be purchased, additional cooking and cleaning to attend to, for some the joys of crowded airports and airplanes, for others readying the home for guests, and so on…. While these situations are for some enjoyable, for many others the additional stresses are overwhelming, resulting in body aches, headaches, difficulty breathing, feeling anxious, feeling worried, difficulty sleeping, the list of stress-induced symptoms is […]
- [A Journey to Finding Peace](https://mosaichealing.ca/a-journey-to-finding-peace/): Several years ago, well, about 42 years ago, I was a hard-driving (and driven) young man working hard to support myself, my wife, and 2 sons. I worked for an international oilfield services company (beginning my employment as a truck driver) that would periodically send some of the more promising employees to its engineering training facility in Oklahoma. It was there that I had what seemed at the time a rather innocuous encounter with another company employee. I was seated at one of the dining tables in the large dining room when an older fellow approached me and asked if […]

- [About Mosaic Reiki Ryoho](https://mosaichealing.ca/mosaic-reiki-ryoho/): WHAT IS MOSAIC REIKI RYOHO? The word Reiki can be translated into English as meaning “sacred” or “of spirit” energy. Rei -sacred or of spirit Ki -energy. (aka. Chi, Qi, Prana, …) Usui Reiki Ryoho (“Usui Spirit Energy Healing Method”) is a form of hands-on healing originating from the research, life experiences, and teachings of Mikao Usui of Japan early in the 20th century.  This hands-on, energy-based system enjoys wide acclaim for its ability to calm the anxious or nervous mind and body, to bring clarity of thought and a sense of peace to the overwhelmed, stressed-out person, to heal relationships (within oneself and with others) and to bring […]
- [Edward Howell, RMT, MRR Pract. and teacher](https://mosaichealing.ca/about-us/edward-howell-rmt-mrr-pract-and-teacher/): A little about me… Graduating from the Rocky Mountain Academy of Therapeutic Massage with Distinction in March 1996, my work since then has included a year working in a very active Chiropractic Clinic in downtown Calgary, 2 years with the Canadian National Biathlon team in Canmore, a 10-day intensive with the NBA Vancouver Grizzlies at their fall training camp, as a contributing massage therapist at the 1997 World Police Fire Games in Calgary, and operating my own clinic in a busy fitness centre in SW Calgary.A promise to myself in 1988 was part of the reason I undertook the journey […]

- [Clinic Winter Season Operations 2025/26](https://mosaichealing.ca/clinic-winter-season-operations-2025-26/): During the coming winter season, there are a few things we need to be aware of regarding snow storms and the flu/RSV/cold/COVID situation, and your ability to attend your massage therapy and/or Reiki Ryoho treatments. SNOW STORMS As Queen Street is not one of the important roadways in Bridgewater, we usually are a little later having the street and sidewalks cleared than the more trafficked areas. When we are the recipients of a snow storm, all appointments will be cancelled and I will notify all affected clients by either phone call, text, or email. Hazardous Road Conditions If the weather […]
- [Pre-Treatment Screening - COVID-19 Protocols](https://mosaichealing.ca/pre-treatment-screening-covid-19-protocols/): COVID-19 protocols continue to be in effect in our offices.   If you have answered “YES” to any of the questions on the form after the “Vaccinations Received?” question, further consultation with your therapist will determine if the treatment is to proceed. You are advised to use the 811 on-line self-assessment https://811.novascotia.ca if you are unwell the day of your appointment as well as contact your therapist in regards to your appointment.
- [COVID-19 Clinic Protocols](https://mosaichealing.ca/elementor-471/): As the province of Nova Scotia has relaxed its COVID protections to the state of non-existence on 6 July 2022, it has been left to individual businesses to determine what methods of protection against COVID transmission they are comfortable with within their place of business. One tenet of my business is to provide a safe and healthy space for my clients as they engage in their healing journey, and I feel it would be irresponsible of me if I didn’t take all possible measures to provide that situation. As such, we at Mosaic Healing Arts Institute will continue to have the […]

- [Mary Dixon, CSC, MRR Pract.](https://mosaichealing.ca/about-us/about-mary-dixon-csc-mrr-pract/): For a while, I have called myself a “Practical Mystic” because I have a variety of experiences and certifications that, put all together, create my own personal mosaic of healing and creative modalities. After a short and misplaced career as a lawyer, I found my way into creative work and then healing work. I have the heart of an artist and was fortunate for many years to develop my skills as a photographer. I look for beauty everywhere and try to reflect it back to people in the images I have printed and captured. As the photography world changed with […]

- [Massage Therapy](https://mosaichealing.ca/massagetherapy/): Massage Therapy DEFINITION: THE MANIPULATION OF MUSCLE AND OTHER SOFT TISSUES. Massage therapy is based on the fact that soft tissues — muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia — respond to touch. Most pain is myofascial (soft-tissue) in origin. Trigger points — sensitive points in muscles which radiate or refer pain to various parts of the body — can mimic many conditions. Muscles not only move our joints, they stabilize them, and they provide armor for the internal organs. These functions can cause more pain than most people realize. A Massage Therapist’s trained and caring touch can have profound effects on your […]
