Susan Centofanti, Founder
Balanced Senses
Hi everyone I am Susan Centofanti from Balanced Senses. I was born and raised in the small northern town of Temagami where there are pristine lakes and Old Pine growths. 

I spent 20+ years in Traditional Healthcare and transitioned to Alternative Healthcare, where I have spent many years. In this space, I have studied Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Reflexology and Iridology which is all energy work and when I was introduced to Frequency Healing Technology it fits very well into the things I have studied. I am very excited to be able to introduce people with this technique and Reishi beverages.  

I help individuals with health challenges by giving them the knowledge needed to empower them to take control of their health using Reishi infused beverages and Frequency Healing Technology.

Lisa Ritchie CPA Updates
Just before the long weekend, the federal government announced new pandemic financial relief measures and changes to existing programs. Please see below for a brief outline of some of the new and modified programs. It is important to note that most of these programs/details have been announced but not yet passed into law. We are bringing them to your attention so that you can look further into those programs that may assist your business to navigate through the continued pandemic-related challenges. Finance Minister Freeland specifically noted that the proposed changes target those businesses that have been affected by covid and are “not for everyone”; with this in mind please keep all documentation to support claims. Full program details will be released over the coming weeks and will be available online. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
