Andrea M. Stickland, RHN

After thirteen years in England, Andrea (Ady) returned to Canada and established The Galatea Method.

Ady first trained in Oxford, England in a very gentle, whole body, manipulative technique that involves a complete system of adjustments, soft tissue work and massage using nothing but her very skillful hands. She had her own clinic in Exmouth, Devon, England for seven years.

During that time in England Ady became interested in a form of rehabilitation exercise for her patients called Pilates and decided to attend a year-long course to qualify as a Body Control Pilates Instructor. Most patients who routinely did these exercises never returned for treatment apart from a yearly check-up to maintain their structural integrity.

Ady is also an Advanced Bowen Practitioner - a very subtle, holistic treatment that allows the body to heal itself by taking away any interference in the natural flow of energy throughout the whole body. It is likened to fine tuning a guitar!

She has furthered herself yet again by attending the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and qualifying as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN), and is currently in her final year at the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine and becoming a Homeopathic Physician...

With these five distinct disciplines under her belt Ady has chosen to call her technique The Galatea Method for Natural Health and Wellbeing, separating it from any other form of therapy and giving it her own unique signature.
