In this class we will review a simple and efficient way to apply essential oils on acupressure points to restore a weak condition. Acupressure and Meridian massage is designed to focus energy within our bodies and identify the pathways that are triggered as a result. Meridians are a part of a universal system of energy that when stroked and triggered correctly are thought to connect to the physiological and emotional aspects of the body. \nStudents will learn how to use Acupressure points to support their health and well-being. With self-acupressure\, you get to know and help yourself at any moment. You only need your hands and a little bit of time.\nBenefits of Acupressure:\n• Reduces and prevents tension and pain\n• Increase circulation and lymph flow\n• Enabling the body to relax deeply\n• Strengthen the body’s resistance\n• Help to manage stress\n• Help to support emotional balance\n• Used as a beauty treatment for glowing skin and relaxed facial muscles\n• A valuable tool to connect through healing touch with oneself and others \nEssential oils Denise will use in this class: Rosemary\, Cypress\, Fir or Black Spruce\, Geranium and Clary Sage \nAbout Denise Ho:\nAfter taking classes for more than 20 years\, Denise began a daily practice when she participated in an Energy Exchange program. In the last 6 years\, she has become truly dedicated to her practice after trying a Mysore class for the first time. She completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training at the YogaSpace in 2013.

Unequivocally\, the remarkable resilience of the Ukrainian soldiers serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.” Dr. Peter Derkach \nIn this talk\, Dr. Derkach will:\n• Discuss various aspects of his experience working with Canadian and Ukrainian physicians to enhance prosthetic care for patients with limb loss\n• Share his experience with providing primary care to internally displaced Ukrainians who had fled from cities in Eastern and Southern Ukraine such as Kharkiv\, Izum\, Irpin\, Bucha and Mariupol to seek refuge in Western Ukraine\n• Share stories about the remarkable determination and resilience of the Ukrainian soldiers to whom he provided postoperative care\n• Shed light on the “Unbroken” National Rehabilitation Centre Project and the Lviv Territorial Medical Union\, including what is being done to provide better rehabilitation\, particularly for individuals with amputated limbs\n• Delve into the story behind the naming of the New Ward at the Regional Community Hospital in Czeladz\, Poland\, as “The Canada Ward”\n• Share his insights about what life looks like for Ukrainians in Ukraine today \nAbout Dr. Peter Derkach\nDr. Peter Derkach has served as the Medical Director of the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre for more than 22 years\, during which time he has exhibited exemplary professionalism\, care\, and dedication to his patients.

At the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre\, Dr. Derkach has been at the forefront of numerous innovative projects\, including the CAMH-directed Integrated Care Pathway project aimed at enhancing the treatment of aggression and agitation in dementia patients. It is thanks to Dr. Derkach that the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre has become a signatory to the CCNA (Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Ageing) and is one of the thirty long-term care institutions across Canada\, that are prepared to participate in research in neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia. \nDr. Derkach’s commitment to patient care extends beyond Canada’s borders\, as he has participated in several international medical missions to countries such as Ukraine\, Poland and Nepal.
