REFLEXOLOGIST Jen Charles is at it again.
For the past two Christmases, the certified reflexologist and founder of Balanced Roots Reflexology, has offered reflexology sessions by donation and given proceeds to improve the lives of children in northern Uganda.
This May - in honour of her grandmothers, her mother and all the wonderful women in her life - Charles is holding a month-long fundraiser, with half of every reflexology session going to a North Vancouver organization called Spectrum. The non-profit organization supports and motivates young mothers through pregnancy, birth and beyond. Spectrum provides respite, CPR trained caregivers, mentoring, pre-and post-partum doulas, phone and driving support. Spectrum also liaises with other North Shore organizations for practical help when needed. Read more about Spectrum at www.specmedpro.com.
Charles hopes that instead of flowers or chocolate for Mother's Day this year, giftgivers will consider treating their mother (or a mother they know) to a relaxing reflexology session, and feel good knowing that their gift has helped support a young mother in our community.
Gift options to choose from include: ? Book a reflexology session with Charles this May;
? Treat your mum (wife, girlfriend, sister, aunt) with a reflexology gift certificate;
? Purchase a gift certificate to treat one of the young mums in the Spectrum Support Group.
? For Charles' clients who already have gift certificates and want to redeem them in May, she will donate $20 to the Spectrum fundraiser in your name.
Charles provides a mobile service so your mum can relax in the comfort of her own home. Reach Jen Charles via email at [email protected] or by phone at 604-985-3895. Find out more at www. balancedroots.ca.
