Christina Barrett is a Registered Reflexology Practitioner (RRPr) with the Reflexology Registration Council of Ontario (RRCO), and owner of PEC Reflexology. She began her journey in holistic health when her own health struggles led her to alternative therapies, and she discovered reflexology. Reflexology has been proven to increase circulation, support immune function and relaxation, and promote homeostasis in the body, which facilitates healing. Christina is passionate about helping others achieve balance through her therapeutic and tailored treatments. In addition to foot reflexology, Christina offers Holistic Head Massage treatments to relieve headache, migraine, and sinus pain, reduce tension and stress, and promote overall well-being. Outside of work, Christina enjoys exploring the area’s hiking and walking trails, camping, and spending time with her dog Vader, and cats Bubbles and Squeak.
