Classical Osteopathy
Classical OsteopathyClassical Osteopathy is a wonderful option for people of all ages and abilities. Treatments consist of manual adjustments that are localized and specific and focused on relieving pressures and restrictions. The practice is based on an extensive understanding of anatomy and physiology and is anchored by four fundamental principles:
How does osteopathy work? Imagine tying a string around your finger. After only a short while, the string begins to affect nerve supply, blood supply and general circulation. If you left that string on for a long period of time, your finger would stop receiving the vital circulation it needs to thrive and the tissue would eventually break down and die.
Osteopathy is all about getting rid of the “strings” in your body. We look to balance restrictions and asymmetries so that every tissue, everywhere, has exactly what it needs to the healthiest it can be.
Initial assessments include a health history intake and a physical assessment, followed by treatment, and are usually about 50 minutes in length. Subsequent treatments are approximately 25 minutes in length. You are not required to undress for Osteopathic sessions, though it is recommended you wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, such as yoga pants/shorts and a tank top/t-shirt/sports bra.
Clinical Counselling
Clinical Counselling“You don’t have to be at your worst to reach out for help.”
Counselling, sometimes referred to as therapy or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process aimed at helping break the patterns that prevent individuals from making healthy decisions and living the life they want.
Counselling can help individuals experiencing a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, physical and sexual abuse, self-esteem concerns, anger management, parenting/co-parenting concerns, and separation and divorce.
The process is tailored to the issues you face and the results you wish to achieve. Together with your Counsellor, you will establish goals for your sessions and determine the steps you can take to make necessary changes. Your Counsellor will be someone who listens attentively, gives you appropriate feedback, supports you and, above all, empowers you to change your tomorrow.
*Counselling services are often covered by private insurance companies, or through extended health care benefits and health care spending accounts. Please check with your insurance or benefit provider to determine eligibility. Some of our practitioners are under the supervision by a Registered Psychologist - please inquire for further details.

Occupational Therapy
Occupational TherapyOccupational therapy is a wellness focused solution for people of all ages and abilities. Occupational Therapy is especially beneficial for individuals who are or have recently undergone a change in their physical abilities, such as with an injury or illness, or a change in their mental capacities such as with concussions, illnesses or emotionally stressful situations.
Occupational therapy sessions are primarily a talk focused treatment that works to address both mental and physical health. Your Occupational Therapist (OT) will work with you to take a holistic view of your life and determine what changes are needed so that you can do and excel at activities you love. From work related tasks to household errands to hobbies you just enjoy doing - an OT will help devise a plan to get you back to what you love doing and be there to guide you every step of the way.
What makes an OT different from other therapies is that there is a strong understanding of how the physical body works in different physical environments. OT's will give you concrete and tangible modifications you can do in your surrounding environment to make activities more adaptable to your needs. In addition, OT's are highly skilled in using emotional and mental strategies to help address your cognitive wellness. This is a key aspect of Occupational Therapy as your physical health often impacts your mental and emotional wellness. OT is the perfect marriage of mental and physical care for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and stress-induced illness, PTSD, pain management, and those undergoing major life transitions such as retirement, change in career, change in lifestyle (ie. starting university or moving to a new city), and parenthood.
*Our OT is available for offsite ergonomic assessments, home safety assessments, equipment recommendations as well as other assessments deemed necessary by medical and insurance professionals. We are happy to work with long-term disability insurance however, we do not work with WSIB or MVA insurance at this time.
Physiotherapy
PhysiotherapyPhysiotherapists are primary health care professionals with a significant role in health promotion and treatment of injury and disease. Combining their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.
Whether it’s pain management and rehabilitation from an acute injury like a sprained ankle, or management of chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, a physiotherapist will work with you to help you get back to your optimum level of health as expediently as possible!
*please note some of our practitioners do take WSIB clients on a case by case basis - please inquire for further information. We do not currently take MVA claims at this time*

Reiki
ReikiReiki is an ancient Japanese practice that while subtle and gentle in nature, can offer deep and profound healing. Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy. In this form of energy work the practitioner will either hover their hands over or lay them upon the client, acting as a conduit, flowing energy that offers calming, balancing and stress-reducing effects that trigger the persons natural capacity to heal. Similar to an acupuncturist using needles to facilitate the free flowing of energy throughout the body, Reiki assists in moving energetic blockages and increasing the energetic vibration of the client.
Within just a few sessions, some of the many benefits that one can expect to experience are:
· Promotes Health & Wellbeing
· Helps With Pain Management
· Encourages Mental Clarity
· Improves Meditative State
· Releases Muscle Stress & Tension
· Relieves Anxiety & Depression
· Aids Relaxation
· Strengthens Immune System & Aids Digestion
· Improves Natural Healing Process
· Clears Toxins
· Promotes A Peaceful & Positive Outlook
Healing can be experienced on a cellular and energetic level, within all components of ones being, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Reiki is not affiliated with any religion or religious practice, nor does one need to be spiritual to benefit from it, however for some it can be a very spiritual experience.
The client will remain fully clothed during their treatment.

Andrea Pritchard
BA, eRYT 200hr, Y4C, KRM
Reiki Practitioner/Studio Instructor
Speciality: Reiki/Yoga instructor
Register for a Class Book a Reiki Treatment
There is something that lives within each soul that demands to get out, to be realized, to be fulfilled. For Andrea, that is working with individuals on their path towards healing.
Each person and their path are unique. One commonality amongst all, is that each person has an innate capacity to self-heal. Andrea feels that addressing all components of the individual; the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, is necessary to bring the individual back to their natural state of being, and back home to their holistic self.
Since childhood, Andrea has felt compelled to work in a helping capacity, bringing her into Social Services in her late twenties. Andrea worked as an Employment Advisor at KEYS Job Centre, which often entailed guiding people on their journey through the very challenging and emotional rollercoaster ride associated with unemployment. After 16 years, Andrea knew that she was being called to something different, and it was then that she moved out of employment and into holistic wellness.
Andrea has been teaching yoga and meditation since 2009, however she was able to embrace these teachings in a more full-time capacity in late 2016. In addition to yoga and meditation, Andrea began her training as a Reiki Practitioner in 2008, completing her Karuna Reiki Master training in 2010. Andrea has often used Reiki in her classes, as well as on family and friends, and now in her private practice at Full Circle Health Network. Andrea feels very honoured to share this ancient healing art with others, to help facilitate an environment where people can access their own capacity to heal.
Andrea is also driven, due to the loss of her mother to Ovarian Cancer in 2013, to work with individuals who are facing a cancer diagnosis. She attained specialized training in Yoga to work with this population, and now teaches classes at KGH, as well as through her company, Into The Flow Yoga and Wellness, at Full Circle Health Network.

Policies
At Full Circle Health Network, when you see a price for services, that is exactly what you will pay. Where applicable, HST is included (unless otherwise stated).
We accept cash, cheque, debit, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
Many of our services are covered by extended benefits plans; receipts are provided for all services. For more details, please check with your insurance provider.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your initial appointment. To respect your practitioner’s time, as well as the time of other clients, if you arrive late to your appointment, your session will still finish at its scheduled time.
**We love our clients but we also love being with our families. No-shows will be charged the FULL rate of missed appointments, since time we are not devoting to you is time we could be spending with our families.**
RMT Clients
Because Massage Therapy falls under the Regulated Health Care Practitioner’s Act of Ontario, it is considered a health care service in Ontario. For this reason, many people who have extended health care coverage are able to have a portion or even ALL of the cost of their massage therapy treatment covered by insurance. Some plans, however, may require that you have a doctor’s note before any claims can be submitted, so please check with your provider to see what your coverage entails: every plan is different. Even if you do not have massage therapy covered under your benefits, you may be able to claim RMT expenses on your taxes, since it is recognized as a health care expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there parking?
The Woolen Mill has FREE parking surrounding the entire building. - Are there bike racks?
There are several bike racks just left of the East Wing doors. Once through these doors continue until the end of the hall, we are the last suite on the right. - Is there clear signage?
Unfortunately as the Woolen Mill is a historic building we do not have much signage out front. - Is the clinic accessible via the bus?
Yes, however the nearest bus stops are a 10 minute walk from the Woolen mill. Taking Bus Route #1 is close. - Do you have direct billing?
We do not handle direct billing, however, we can email or print your detailed invoice for ease. - How do you book an appointment?
You can book online via our website, or you can give us a call! We’d love to speak with you! - Are there walking trails along Lake Ontario?
There is a newly renovation accessible walking and bike pathway that run along the lake and directly in behind the building. - What was the Woolen Mills original use?
The Woolen Mill is a 19th-century building, and such structures were built to last. This four-storey red brick building was constructed in 1882 when a group of Kingston businessmen needed a place in which they could produce cloth.
