Welcome to Sogo!

Just to give you some insight about me and how the Sogo business evolved, my name is Jasmin MacKinnon. I've been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2000, a Body Sugaring Practitioner since 2002, and have been practicing Usui Reiki since 2004. In the fall of 2010 I took the Footsteps Reflexology program and am now working on my case studies to become a Certified Reflexologist. After many years of working with energy I felt drawn to move to the next level so in February of 2011, I became a Reiki Master/Teacher.

I feel I have a genuine passion for the body work I do. I take great pride in every treatment I give, I enjoy connecting with new people all the time, and I feel blessed to have been able to do it for a living.

Candace Pelley

Candace has been involved in the area and study of Holistic Health and related modalities since 2004. Previously to this she spent approximately twenty years in the dental field as a Dental Assistant/Receptionist. Through personal life changing events she became involved in the Complementary approach.

Holistic Health deals with a person as a whole and not merely with their physical symptoms. When equilibrium is disrupted you must work in partnership with the client focusing on all aspects of his or her life to promote self-healing. Candace enjoys and takes her work very seriously so she can benefit clients on an emotional, physical and spiritual level.
