Other News


Jon is working every other Thursday in Sharron Teetaert's shop, "Lac du Bonnet Massage Therapy", in Lac du Bonnet, (of course).  To book an appointment with Jon or Sharron, please call 345-9944.  The address is Unit B 74 2nd Street.  The entrance is right beside Lloyd's barber shop.


Robin will be out for a couple of days every month, weather permitting.  She is one of the best massage therapists that I have had the pleasure of working with!  Robin and I are working on a "Massage Therapy Workshop" to introduce some basic treatment methods to those who are interested.


Artists and Crafters


Bernice has been finding new artists to increase our stock.  Markus has brought us some very fine pieces.  They depict wildlife in an original/aboriginal style.   Be sure to drop by to see the new artwork.  You don't want to miss picking up that special piece you've been waiting for.


New Stock


We have started to bring in more ecologically appropriate products.  We have laundry whitener, laundry soap, dishwasher soap and rinse agent, Tom's toothpaste, (no fluoride), and deodorant. Magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) is available in gallon jugs.  Great to soak in and help melt away muscle tension.


Don't forget about the health books we have available.  Alive Publishing is the top natural health information publishing company in Canada.  The Alive magazine (available here monthly, while supplies last), is now peer reviewed, which ensures that accurate, provable information is being presented.  We also carry their health handbooks, 36 topics to choose from!  Their "Encyclopędia of Natural Healing" is a great reference for virtually any condition you may want to look up. This volume is not in print anymore due to the high cost of printing.  We have 2 left and will not be able to get any more!


Please note: We can special order just about anything you need in the way of supplements!


Many of our artists and crafters also do custom work.  Order early and avoid disappointment.
