VANCOUVER, BC – Greater Vancouver home sellers were more active than buyers in January and overall home prices, according to the new MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI), continued to experience more stability and less fluctuation compared to the beginning of 2011.
While door knocking the other afternoon, I had the priviledge of meeting Joni Cooke, owner and Registered Shiatsu Therapist of Intune Shiatsu & Yoga Therapy, located at #9 - 245 East Broadway. Joni's website describes Shiatsu as "a traditional Japanese massage based on Chinese medicine that re-tunes the organs and through a holistic approach maintains wellness within body-mind-soul". Joni describes her role as therapist as"'an honour and a privilege to enable people’s innermost states, to witness and guide people to their calmest self".
