We Do Things Differently
At BOOM, we do things differently than other clinics. I like to say that BOOM is the combination of best practices and magic surrounded by nature. Our therapists keep one foot firmly planted in the accountabilities and credentialing of their respective fields and the other foot firmly planted in their intuition and natural energetic healing gifts. BOOM’s focus is on holistic healing at the body, mind, and soul levels. We are situated among the trees of Anmore, as nature is our healing partner. BOOM has clients from all over the lower Mainland and primarily serves the neighbouring communities of Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Belcarra.
Our Forest Based Location
Clients not only benefit from therapy here at BOOM, but they also leave with a goodie bag filled with healing from nature. Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-Yoku, has decades of research supporting it and is now practiced worldwide. Two hours with the trees gives you about 30 days of health benefits, including such things as – increased positive feelings, enhanced memory, enhanced immunity, improved quality of sleep, reduced blood pressure, reduced stress hormones, decreased stress-related illness, improved blood sugar levels and a lift in depressive symptoms. Clients often affirm the specialness of BOOM’s forest location, frequently saying things like, “I feel so at ease here” and “The energy here is special; it feels like magic.”
What to Expect at BOOM Healing
When you visit BOOM Healing, you will drive up to our nature-based clinic, located in a private carriage house with dedicated, free parking. When you are parked, come in, make yourself a cup of tea, sit by the fire, and wait to be invited into a therapy room. Please visit our website to learn more about each of our practitioners at BOOM Healing: Amanda, Ishana, and Lauren. Next is a brief introduction to each of the services BOOM offers.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is one of the few healing practices that looks at a person’s ‘entire picture’ and unlocks and empowers the body’s ability to heal. Osteopathy treats and heals the whole body, considering all body parts, systems, history and trauma, current context and stressors, and how they all influence each other. Often, clients seek out an osteopath when they are experiencing body pain or have had an injury. An osteopath can help by increasing joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, alleviating pain, enhancing blood flow to tissues, and unlocking the body’s ability to self-heal. Osteopathy is also helpful in easing symptoms relating to pathology, such as digestive issues, breathing challenges, headaches, TMJ problems, and post-surgery recovery. Ishana Debba is the Osteopathic Practitioner at BOOM, and she has completed the most extensive hands-on and in-person Osteopathy training available in Canada.
Neurofeedback
People seek out Neurofeedback for a variety of reasons, including mental wellness, regulation, focus, honing skills, and improving from good to great. BOOM uses NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback. It is an entirely non-invasive and safe technology (it is different from many neurofeedback systems out there) – it simply acts as a mirror so your brain can “see” how it is functioning and improve self-awareness and communication. It provides real-time feedback on your brain activity (the system takes 256 electrical readings per second) and empowers your brain to make adjustments and heal. NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback respects that all brains function individually – there is no one way to be healthy or optimal.
Every person’s experience with NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is unique, and as such, the ways it helps are distinct for each individual. Some things you notice may include more good days than bad, help with sleep, assistance with weight loss goals, feeling more certain, feeling more comfortable, coping better with things, feeling more calm, enhanced learning capacity, feeling more focused, boost in self-esteem, help with anxiety, personal transformation, changes in perceptions of ‘stuff,’ help with managing stress better, help with being more flexible, and improvement in instruction following, concentration, problem-solving, multitasking, logic, pattern recognition, and/or eye-hand coordination. Amanda Ward offers NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback at BOOM. She is an RCC and a certified NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback trainer. Please visit a Neurofeedback Blog written by Amanda for her personal expereince and more information.
Counselling
Counselling at BOOM is a professional service offered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Through a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment, counselling provides a space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This process can lead to greater self-awareness, improved mental health, and the development of effective coping strategies. Counselling clients often notice enhanced self-awareness, improved resilience, improvement in mood and outlook, improved problem solving, coping skills for complex emotions, reduced or better-managed anxiety, reduced or better-managed depression, boost in self-esteem, enhanced relationships, improved communication, behavioural changes and healthier lifestyle, and a more fulfilled, balanced, and meaningful life. Counselling at BOOM Healing is offered by Amanda Ward. Amanda has completed Master of Arts degrees in Counselling Psychology and Criminology. She has a passion for nervous system health, trauma, and neurodivergence. Amanda is also a mom to an incredible kiddo who navigates the world through an Autistic, ADHD, PDA lens.
Massage
Massage is a touch-based therapy that utilizes various techniques, including deep tissue, trigger point, joint mobilization, and cranial sacral therapies, to help individuals feel more comfortable in their bodies. Massage at BOOM is trauma-informed and delivered in a safe and body-positive environment. Massage can help with many issues; some include cancer recovery, anxiety/depression, stress, headaches, whiplash, back pain, frozen shoulder, TMJ issues, pregnancy, postpartum, and chronic pain. The possible benefits of massage include faster healing, improved sleep, enhanced relaxation, lowered blood pressure, reduced stress and pain, and increased mobility with greater ease and confidence. Lauren Pesarchuk offers massage therapy at BOOM Healing. Lauren has over a decade of experience and is the founder of Blue Heron RMT.
