Pilateez.com & Balance Natural Health Clinic ...Unites Top Health Practitioners

By Susan Regier

London’s first all-natural therapeutic centre has recently opened at 1135 Adelaide Street North, Suite 115, combining the talents of four successful women under one roof at the Pilateez.com and Balance Natural Health Clinic.

Larissa Mills, owner of Pilateez.com searched for skilled practitioners in massage, acupuncture, and Chinese medicine to fulfill her vision for the centre – and found three women at the top of their fields who had a passion for their work. “We are excited to finally unite a natural health clinic and a teaching pilates studio – there is nothing comparable in London,” said Mills.

A former teacher, Mills now operates two studios under Pilateez.com – a studio for private sessions in Old North and the new location at 1135 Adelaide Street North for larger classes.

Mills is certified in several styles of Pilates and offers classes for beginners to advanced levels, including prenatal and postpartum healing classes, to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and self awareness. Pilateez.com is also a certifying studio to “train the trainer.”

“There was a need to combine natural healing with natural esthetics. It took time to find the right balance of services and the right location, but it was worth it. Our team is fully equipped to heal the body in one way or another,” said Mills.

Joining Mills is Christine Anne Frank who has operated Frank & Sense for twenty-six years, specializing in acupuncture. She is one of six cosmetic acupuncturists in Ontario and the only one located in London. She has created a patent-pending natural skin care product line personalized to body type and requirements.

Lindsay Martens is a Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in women’s health including fertility, pregnancy, and post-partum care. “The body has a powerful ability to heal itself, given the right information, environment, and support,” said Martens, who is trained in clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathic medicine, hydrotherapy, and Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

The latest addition to the Balance Natural Health Clinic is Ann Rich. Rich recently moved from Seattle, Washington after hearing about the clinic while meeting with the Olympic rowing coach in London this past summer. Rich is a Master Acupuncturist who focuses on athletes and women’s health. She has helped to improve the performance of elite athletes and weekend warriors and is now offering her skills to our city.

Pilateez.com and the Balance Natural Health Clinic opened their doors in May and celebrated with a Grand Opening event on October 20, 2006. For more information, visit their Web site at www.pilateez.com,
