I’m Cathy Laundy and I am a Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist in Sidney, BC.
My husband and I have lived in the beautiful North Saanich & Sidney area for the past 20 years. We share our home with our lively black lab “Jasper” and loving tabby cat “Roo”, who will likely be your first greeters at Ebb + Flow!
In our free time, my husband and I love to camp, surf, paddle board and travel.
My Story
Several years ago, just before my 50th birthday, Anxiety - and its jerky friends Insomnia and Self-Doubt - decided to introduce themselves to me. I remember the day and it sent me on a unpleasant journey.
At that time, I was already a few years into peri-menopause and feeling the dread of my emotional and physical symptoms; the increasing tension & stress, worry, self doubt, and bouts of sleeplessness and insomnia were becoming increasingly common occurrences and interfering with my quality of life.
I was always tired; my motivation to go out and socialize came from guilt rather than desire, foggy brained and arriving with a sense of “I should” rather than “I’d love to!”
Then, a friend recommended reflexology to me. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first thinking, “What could possibly come out of someone touching my feet?”
Apparently, a lot does happen!
After my first session, I felt a bit nauseous and sleepy, which are common reactions that happen when energy is cleared from the physical and energetic bodies. But what I noticed the most was how relaxed I felt.
For the first time in a long time I could not feel my vibrating heart palpitations and had more than a 4 hour sleep without waking. After more sessions, the palpitations lessened considerably and my quality of life began to increase.
Needless-to-say, my curiosity about reflexology was immediately piqued. If in a couple of treatments I could feel this good, what happens when I have more? And what are the implications of regular reflexology healing for other women suffering with peri-menopausal symptoms, and other ailments?
I wanted to learn all I could about this healing modality as I began my passion-project of offering reflexology to women in Sidney & North Saanich in a private, safe and respectful environment with the goal of facilitating their journey back to their whole selves. I took the course through the Reflexology Association of Canada and became a Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist in January 2017.
Since then I have enjoyed providing relief and rejuvenation to women from many of life’s set-backs- including peri-menopause, illness, ongoing health issues, and just the general anxiety from living in our stressful world. I am grateful to be able to provide healing for many clients in our beautiful corner of the world.
