Healing Arts

Hornby Island has long been an oasis for healing, relaxation, rejuvenation and transformation. It is a place where you can honor your spiritual, emotional and physical well being under the guidance of compassionate and experienced teachers and practitioners. Many find the beauty and tranquility of the island an antidote to everyday or unforeseen stresses and we are extremely fortunate to have healers from various disciplines that call Hornby their home and who will help you enjoy abundance, health and peace.

When visiting Deerheart Sanctuary you will find a yurt organically nestled within a forest glen. Here you will find a wide range of healing arts services and practices, from bodywork by Michelle St. Pierre to regular meditation sits and various programs including yoga and special musical and spiritual functions.

jennifer armstrong of Island Yoga offers classes year round and has many devotees, with her summer yoga classes at Sandpiper Bluffs being especially loved.

If you visit the Farmers Market you will find Elke Rosendahl of Inner Sanctum Studio set up for relaxing chair massages and you can also visit her studio for Shiatsu, Reiki, Massage, Breath Work, and Chi Nei Tsang sessions.

Relatively new to Hornby is Patrick Lui, a certified Pilates instructor. Patrick will also be leading sessions at Sandpiper Bluff as well as offering private sessions.
