How often have you gone to the doctors or a wellness clinic and have a million things you want to discuss and tell them but, your discussion time is held to a clock. At the doctors your lucky to get 15 minutes and even the wellness centers, that are more business like then wellness, still hold you to a half hour or hour consultation because someone else is going to be sitting in the chair by an appointment time after you. OK...I get this, we all need our turn and time and I respect the system but, it does nothing for the million things I need to say and get out of my head.

I found Shanty Bay Wellness Center and Kathy while walking by her cute little yellow house, and seeing this sign that popped up one day on the lawn, announcing that we had a wellness center in our neighborhood. First thought was.....I don't have to drive to Barrie anymore and I can walk to this center, but the greatest experience happened when I had my first meeting. Two and a half hours after entering the door I was still talking, enjoying some taste testing of nutritious snacks, sipping on chocolaty chai tea, curled up on a comfy chair with that...'at home feeling' instead of a hard back chair in front of a desk. And even when my session was over Kathy and I sat on the front porch and talked like friends, even though I had just met her.

This is a clinic like no other. I am well on my way to better health, and the best part is being able to talk about everything....and I mean everything....Kathy has a unique way of 'listening' and was able to help me with habitual patterns that lead to some of my issues in the beginning, on an emotional level, which I found out is part and parcel to ill health. I highly recommend this wellness center and guarantee you will not get this kind of personal attention and care anywhere else. I know, I have been to too many big, business like, prestigious clinics in Barrie....they don't hold a candle to Shanty Bay Wellness Center.
