Hi! Allow me to introduce myself and the Good Vibrations Health Sanctuary. I am CHRIS STORMER-FRYER, affectionately known worldwide as the UNIVERSAL FOOT LADY. In 1994, I was looking for an appropriate space for the then REFLEXOLOGY ACADEMY of SOUTHERN AFRICA and was guided to a delightful, albeit dilapidated, thatch in Rivonia. With lots of love, the large double garage and upstairs flat were converted into the Academy, which the students absolutely LOVED! So, in December 1999, when I decided to move on from feet and close the Academy and with our two wonderful sons moving on, my husband and I decided to move into the flat and convert our family home into GOOD VIBRATIONS HEALTH SANCTUARY. The intent is that it’s a facility for health practitioners and facilitators, rather than a business. I know how expensive it can be to hire rooms and how long it can be to establish a clientele, especially when first qualifying or moving to a new area, so the Sanctuary has been set up as a space of trust and appreciation; the practitioners and facilitators willingly donate 20% of their intake in summer and 30% in winter, up to a cutoff point to cover the running costs and upkeep of the Sanctuary. It’s amazing how well this works.
The space that is offered at the Sanctuary includes:
- Jamboree, a large mirrored studio, with an adjoining courtyard and Goddess fountain, ideal for larger group sessions and seminars
- Synchronicity, an open reception area with an open fireplace, with space for smaller exercise classes and seminars
- Tranquility, Serenity, Harmony and Peace, 4 small massage or consultation rooms that can also serve as intimate workshop spaces
- Peace, which is either a consultation or overnight guest room
- The Gallery, an open upstairs meditation/ exercise area, with plans to enclose and mirror it.
- Gatherings, a large and smaller open thatched lapa in the garden, perfect for any form of social or healing get together
- The Sun/Moon Sweat Lodge built and run by Niyan Stirlin
At the moment there are over 20 facilitators and practitioners enjoying this wonderful space, on a part time and occasionally erratic basis, although there is plenty of space for more! The on-going classes include Yoga4Kidz, Pilates, Belly Dancing, Yoga and Meditation groups, whilst a range of therapies, including hypnotherapy, and massages are also available. Each facilitator and practitioner runs their own practice, takes their own bookings and manages their own space. What a pleasure! Also being offered are astrology workshops, cranio-sacral classes; Symbology Funshops, Goal Setting sessions and so much more, along with monthly Sweat Lodges and Sacred Sound Journeys.
GOOD VIBRATIONS HEALTH SANCTURY, Rivonia, Gauteng is a divine and sacred space, serenely set in lush gardens, with fountains and a sparkling swimming pool. Being a place of TRUST, HONOUR and RESPECT, I am truly blessed to share it with love. May it give you the opportunity to step out of the hustle and bustle of everyday hectic-ness and take time to find harmony within so that your inner peace and beauty can then radiate delightfully outwards to make a world of difference! |
