Purplesun.ca—Shiatsu, Urban Farming, and Holistic Nutrition

Why would one want to integrate shiatsu, urban farming and holistic nutrition?

• Shiatsu is an ancient massage therapy that balances the body, restores physical vitality and reduces stress. It is regulated as a licensed medical therapy in Japan by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
• Urban farming is the practice of turning vacant lots and yards into food-producing havens. Beet greens, sunflowers, and snow peas grow next to one’s doorstep, allowing urban dwellers to enjoy a fresh, tasty harvest within the convenience of city amenities.
• Holistic nutrition is about healing the body and mind through eating habits that suit a person’s unique needs. It is about devising customized health schemes that consider the physical, emotional, environmental and spiritual aspects of an individual's life.

Combined together, these practices can yield a wealth of fitness, spiritual and ecological benefits—towards a higher quality of life. At Purplesun.ca, we are committed to assisting individuals and communities in tapping into the assets harboured by these alternative practices. We are eager to share years of expertise and contacts in these fields. Our ultimate purpose is to help improve individual and community well-being.
