Hi, I’m Carol Earle, and I’m excited to be sharing the healing potential of two powerful therapies I offer: Facial Reflexology and Trauma-Bipolar Reflex Therapy, here at Shifting Light Studio.
My journey into holistic health began back in 1999, following a life-threatening illness that pushed me to explore complementary medicine and self-healing. Having grown up on a small hobby farm in Ontario, surrounded by animals, I always felt a deep connection with nature and a desire to help others.
Facial Reflexology is an ancient technique that I use to promote blood circulation and remove toxins through direct facial massage. By working with your face’s direct connections to your brain, this therapy can help restore energy flow, balance blocked areas, and even improve your mood by releasing endorphins. You’ll feel relaxed and rejuvenated as I stimulate your skin’s microcirculation, leading to healthier, more radiant skin. While this isn’t a quick fix, you can expect visible results after 5 to 8 sessions.
Benefits of Facial Reflexology

• Instant relief of tension on the face neck scalp and brain 
• Works to firm facial blood circulation 
• Assists in firming facial muscles and stimulates increased blood circulation, helping activate lymphatic drainage to achieve a naturally glowing complexion.
• Promotes better hydration to the cells and fine wrinkles on the skin to look healthy

I’m also proud to be certified in Trauma-Bipolar Reflex Therapy, which I trained for in London, England, under the guidance of Lone Sorensen in 2019. This method involves stimulating specific areas on your face, scalp, and feet to release trauma stored in your body’s cells. It’s a unique approach that can help you achieve deep relaxation and find inner peace by balancing the body’s hormonal and neurobiological processes. It’s a journey towards regaining control, feeling clear, sharp, and focused.
I am so very happy to be bringing these healing modalities here. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, or simply seeking a natural way to rejuvenate your skin, I’m here to support you on your healing journey. You can reach me at www.wellnessbycarol.ca 
or by booking a session with me at here. Let’s work together to achieve balance and well-being, inside and out.

After years of dedicated service, retirement is often seen as a time to relax, reflect, and enjoy the fruits of one's labor. But for some, like myself, retirement marks not the end, but the beginning of a new chapters in life. This chapter is not about stepping away from the world but rather stepping back into it with renewed purpose.

As a Holistic Practitioner with a rich background in Facial Reflexology, BodyTalk, and Japanese Face-Lifting Therapy, I’ve always been passionate about the power of holistic healing. My journey began over two decades ago, following a personal health crisis that led me to explore complementary medicine and self-healing. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping countless clients find balance in their lives—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

The world today is grappling with unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety, and trauma. These challenges have become a common thread in the lives of many, exacerbated by global events, personal struggles, and societal pressures.
Stress and anxiety are not just fleeting feelings; they have profound effects on our overall well-being. Left unchecked, they can lead to a myriad of health issues, both mental and physical. Trauma, whether from a single event or a series of experiences, can leave deep scars that affect every aspect of a person’s life.

In my practice, I use a holistic approach to address these issues. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. By doing so, we can uncover the root causes of stress, anxiety, and trauma, and begin the healing process from within. My work is not just about alleviating symptoms but about empowering my clients to take control of their own health and well-being.
I am grateful for the opportunity to continue doing what I love—helping others find their way to a healthier, happier life.

​Energy and Animals
 
I thought about all the blogs I do about people, today felt like the animals should share this space.  Our fur kids and like family so treat them well while we have them.
Energy Medicine/Therapy whatever you choose to call it works on everything.  Birds early in the morning sing so loud and put all their heart into that song.  Have you ever notices while out walking early that all the birds are trying to outdo the other?  Then as the day progresses the birds are still there, but much more muted.
 
Animals are especially interesting and since I am certified as a BodyTalk practitioner and also BodyTalk for Animals, I have met some interesting energies while working with new clients.
I love my work as it came so natural to me as a young child.  At that time I had no idea I would ever be working helping pets with various issues.
 
I grew up in the country on a small farm and there were no kids to play with.  I had a younger brother and the farm animals leave and that was it.  I spent many hours carrying on conversations with the horses, the sheep, the cats and dogs, a raccoon and deer, so to me I was normal.  Since I was very young, I have been able to pick up on energies from animals, people, trees, and of course buildings. 
 
The part that clients often don’t understand, is that if a dog has a problem, many times it is coming from/through the human/owner, of it can be another person that the dog has spent time near.  At times, the session is more about the owner than the dog, although both are receiving the same benefits so it can go back and forth during one session. 
 
For those who do not understand energy medicine this, it can be very discerning and they may feel there is a problem with the session.  Not so.  If my client the dog, is suffering from high anxiety, a very good guess is that the owner or someone near the dog has one or more issues around this also.  Animals pick up on our energy even more than most people know.  I’ve gone to homes where there were two pets in the room and I can pick up on which one has the problem the owner has called me about. 
 
When I had my own place, I raised a baby raccoon (Rocky) who turned out to be a female. Her mother had been killed on the road and there she stood on her hind feet, little arms swinging, so I picked her up and took her home.
 
She lived in the house with us and went out when she wanted, knocked on the door when she wanted back in and to me this was alright. One of my visitors nearly fainted when she asked to use my washroom.  One of Rocky’s favorite sleeping places was in the bathroom sink, curled up so comfy. Of course, I forgot where she was and you can imagine the ending.
Rocky rode on my shoulder and often came for a car ride with me to the local store.
As time passed she would spend more and more time outside on her own and after thinking something happened to her and looking all over the 11 acres she showed up early one morning with her common squeak meaning where’s my treat. Thrilled I ran to the door and there she sat at the bottom of the steps and behind her on the walkway were 4 little Rockies!  She stood up with a warning to look but don’t come any closer and we understood each other.  I returned with one of her favorite treats, and she left with her little ones for their new home.  Often I would meet her on the property but no more touching as she had found her natural place in the wild.   Much later in life, I found out people referred to me as the crazy lady that lives in the trees.
 
Often family leaves, and so do pets as our time here is just a number. The rainbow bridge helps some over the rainbow to peace and love beyond the stars.  My work now feels so rewarding and often I work with clients who send such loving notes, it is incredible.
 
With Much Love
Carol

​A SMILE
         
Have you ever sat and watched people?  In a mall, at the park, while you wait in line, while sitting at a red light and many more places.
When I was much younger our parents took us to most social functions as we didn't have baby sitters in my era.  Children attended dances, strawberry socials, church dinners as an outing and a chance to meet new people. As a child I was very aware of energy given off by people in general, although at the time I had no idea what it was all about. 
 
I would say to my dad, "how come that man is so angry; or why is that lady sad?  My father would brush it off with an answer that satisfied me at the time but if I had known then what I know now - wow!  I remember people telling me I had a beautiful smile but of course I could never see it from the inside.  So today I am thinking about Smile Therapy.
 
Instead of finding fault or judging others perhaps a new self therapy would work.  The world has so much anger and hate I feel a few smiles would help things out.
 
Each face you meet, give them a smile, observe their eyes, are they sad or bright or dark?  No words are necessary when you smile; it seems it's a universal language that may brighten someone's day.
 
Imagine the city workers who go out very early in the morning to do their job, it's often cold or wet this time of year. Often, they are cleaning up after thoughtless people who don't care about their city.  The worker then crosses paths with an early morning person that sends them the brightest smile. Wow! Their day was made so much better.
 
If you gave your smile to everyone you meet for just one day, can you imagine how you may make that person's day a whole lot better.

On of my favorite things is people watching - observing life, as I work in energy therapy and tend to pick up on vibrations around me.  A smile says so many things if not in words. Try it for yourself.
