R and R in Vancouver, BC is just what the healer ordered. My husband and I drove up to Canada on Thursday morning from Seattle for a much needed retreat to nurture our souls and each other.

Just before reaching the border we turned off our cell phones. R and R in Vancouver, BC is about disconnecting from our daily routines and responsibilities and doing what feeds our spirit.

The sun was shining to the west and clouds were to the east as we headed for our R and R in Vancouver, BC. It started raining while the sun shone brightly. Then a beautiful double rainbow appeared. Arching directly above us as we entered downtown, the double rainbow symbolizes transformation and good fortune.

Things to Do in Vancouver

There are so many things to do in Vancouver. One of our favorite things to do is to walk through Stanley Park along English Bay. We are surrounded by huge maple, cypress and evergreen trees, the rippling water, birds, sea planes, mountains, sail boats and tugboats pulling barges.

The 2 hour walk is invigorating. We are ready for lunch and the next item on the list of things to do in Vancouver. So we climb up the hill on Robson St to Hon's Wonton for delicious Chinese food in a large cafeteria-style atmosphere. Sweet and sour soup with chicken and a rice, chicken, asparagus dish are served piping hot.

Then we walk back to the hotel to relax, read and plan the next day's outdoor activities. Next on the list of things to do in Vancouver is taking a fun boat ride to Granville Island.

Granville Island

Granville Island is considered Vancouver's town square. There is a farmer's market, booths filled with wares created by local artists and a good variety of foods to enjoy for breakfast or lunch.

The atmosphere of Granville Island is relaxed and fun - the perfect place to get away for the day for vacationers and locals alike.

Once we choose a delicious meal to share at Granville Island we can eat it outdoors. Taking in the beautiful views of the marina, the mountains and downtown Vancouver across the waterway further helps us to relax and be in the moment.

Feeling Rejuvenated

On the way home on Sunday we stop at Van Dusen Gardens for a good shot of beautiful images to nurture our soul. We are feeling rejuvenated and ready to return home to our lives in Seattle.

We are grateful for the many opportunities for self love by feeding our spirit in Vancouver. Feeling rejuvenated opens us up to begin again with renewed energy for our lives, our work, family, friends and community.

Vancouver, BC is less about a 3 hour drive from Seattle north on I5 where your R and R awaits you. Are you ready to be feeling rejuvenated, too?

Intuitive Readings Seattle - Reiki Healing Seattle - Meditation Seattle

For more than 28 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world, including India, China and England. Some clients prefer to come see me in person for an Intuitive Reading. However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions.

Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn't matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same - to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me truly happy and I blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.

When you set up an Intuitive Reading in Seattle or a phone session with me, it's best to write down your questions ahead of time. This helps focus your intention on what it you want guidance for in your life.

At the beginning of your Intuitive Reading, I go deep into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for you. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures and the information received is spiritual in nature, yet practical for every day life.

I encourage all of you to:

Live your true potential
Feel your own wholeness
Experience inner peace and joy
Express your creativity
Be who you really are- perfectly human and perfectly divine
