- Conscious BodyWork massage for stress reduction and enhanced brain function.
- "Brain Mapping" QEEG assessment to establish which areas are malfunctioning

- A large referral network for services we do not provide

Philosophy
Living fully alive & well in our bodies is our goal. Many events in our lives undo the integrity of that fundamental design. We are living, intelligent systems, constantly adapting to new stimuli. When given new information and support, our bodies will reorganize and self-correct.At the Healus Center, the focus is on putting individuals in charge of their own bodies. The Center specializes in collaborative, hands-on treatments to address complex problems through several systems at once. Reorganizing the body contributes to enhanced cognitive function and enhanced brain function improves body responsiveness. Once brain and body are working together, they train together for optimal function.
Passion
Every day Jocelyn Olivier witnesses the miracle of change that can be wrought in the human body, sometimes in unbelievably short periods of time, and her clients' stories are an inspiration to her. Clients that have been searching for solutions for years sometimes find them within an hour with the right integration of techniques that speak to what their bodies need. The human body is very resourceful and adaptable and, given the right information, it can reorganize itself efficiently and heal completely.Credentials
