Integrative Health & Healing
Part of our mission at Heartwood is to offer a healing approach that integrates mental and physical health. Many health issues affect psychological and physical health at the same time. Physical illness and pain can cause intense emotion, distress and anxiety; and emotional issues can manifest as physical symptoms or contribute to physical conditions. An integrative healing oriented approach focuses on the whole person and is beneficial for numerous issues affecting physical, emotional and mental health.
How it works:
An integrative approach takes into account and assesses all factors that affect health, including lifestyle, body, mind and emotions. The approach allows you to explore a variety of therapies and emphasizes the therapeutic relationship. Alongside treatment, positive strategies for self-care and managing your stress are paramount. Services which can be utilized include, but aren’t limited to, integrative medicine, psychotherapy, mindfulness coaching, acupuncture, reiki, tai chi, and yoga.
If you are seeking a more holistic approach to your health and wellness and want to learn how you can utilize and schedule integrative therapies, contact Marsha Smith, LCSW.

Marianne KnoxI’m an Educational Kinesiologist, specializing in human development, and Certified Applied Mindfulness Specialist. For the past 17 years, I’ve used my proprietary MK Method® and NeuroMindfulness™ to help children reach their fullest potential and adults break free from endless stress to achieve emotional freedom.
My MK Method® and NeuroMindfulness™, based on human development and mindfulness, shows people how to stop reacting from the database of past patterns in the brain that’s causing them to repeat the same behaviors, make the same choices, get the same outcomes — basically stay stuck.
Instead, I teach them how to listen to and respond from their body and heart’s wisdom, allowing them to release the past and act intentionally in the present moment. This work allows them to live happy, dynamic, and free lives — the way we’re designed to.
I hold certifications in Educational and Developmental Kinesiology (BI) and Applied Specialization in Mindfulness (University of Toronto Faculty of Social Work).

All session based on the needs of the person, might be intertwined with other modalities like chakra Balancing with Astral oils and Holistic Bodywork.
I offer Acutonics Session through using Infinite Sound Healing Power of Tuning Forks that are connected and calibrated with the movements of the Planets. When these specific frequencies are applied to particular points on the meridians, it helps to bring the Heavenly Essence – Sacred Sounds – into the body to clear blockages, break apart old emotional patterns and clear the way to Liberation while still being here in the third dimensional world.
