Artists’ Health Centre Foundation
250 The Esplanade, Suite 500
This clinic will provide an introduction to the holistic healing properties of Craniosacral Therapy, and the benefits of individual practice and work with a practitioner. Energy or “life force” is essential to maintaining health and vitality, and is expressed as rhythmic movement in every part of the body. Participants will examine unique self-care tools to reconnect the mind, body and spirit, and explore how to ‘listen’ to the body to achieve a state of deep relaxation. Emphasis will be placed on:
- Wholeness and restoration
- Balance and self-discovery
- Breathing and relaxation exercises
Dr. Anita Shack B.F.A., D.C., F.A.T.A. uses an integrated approach in her work at the Artists’ Health Centre. She combines chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, and acupuncture, customizing care to the individual artist’s needs and goals. Fascinated with the body/mind/spirit connection, she is concerned not only with the relief of symptoms, but also with getting at the cause to facilitate change and healing. She was an original representative of the Health Care Practitioners meetings at the inception of the Artists’ Health Centre and was founding director of Health Focus, an integrated multidisciplinary alternative health care center in downtown Toronto from 1992-2005.
Dr. Shack performed as an independent modern dancer/choreographer from 1974-1986 in Canada and the United States and was a member of the Dance Music Orchestra. She has experience with Yoga, Pilates, Karate, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique, writing, photography, and music which serve to inform her work. She has extensive experience working with artists from many disciplines, including: dance, theatre, film, visual arts, music, and writing. Over the last 23 years she has seen how different modalities enhance each other, maximizing the benefits of care and the achievement of wellness.
