Sher Arnfinson is the founder of Shiatsu by Sher Energy Healing Centre as well as its principle therapist. A certified Shiatsu therapist for fifteen years, she is also an experienced practitioner of Aromatherapy, Anma Massage, Hot Stones and Energy Healing.

Sher's involvement in the health field dates back over 25 years to when she was a competitive cyclist and aerobic instructor. Later she became a personal trainer and fitness-test appraiser, then studied Shiatsu, and opened her clinic at 481 University Avenue in Toronto. Since then she has dedicated herself to developing her skills and deepening her understanding of healing.

As a student of energy medicine, Sher has worked with several teachers, including Chuck Dilberto from N.Y. state offering chakra breathing classes; Denis Chagnon with the grounding technique; Manyhorses, who is a traditional medicine man from B.C., teaching the energy clearing ceremony; Fran D'Angelo teaching Munay-Ki classes; and Pete Bernard with Algonquin Shamanism. These teachings have helped Sher's treatments on many levels, such as assisting the process of emotions, clearing energies that don't belong, balancing the chakras, and being more intuitive to each client's individual needs.

In her journey of healing, Sher is now being drawn to Peruvian Aboriginal Healing; it feels like the natural path to follow after the chakras have been cleared and the deepest issues have healed. The next part of the journey is connecting to pure love and light.

Over the years Sher has not only helped countless others to overcome health challenges and work with their own energy, she has cleared herself of sinus and digestive symptoms as well as food sensitivities, and has cut her need for supplements, homeopathic remedies and herbal tinctures by 90%. She also works with a team of practitioners on a volunteer basis, visiting people at the BCSS (Breast Cancer Support Services), PWA (People with AIDS), and NWRC (Native Women's Resource Center), offering energy healing treatments on a monthly basis.

Sher has began her journey to connect more intimately with her native aboriginal roots, which trace back to Henry Bourque (Metis) and Lily Johnston (Cree), both born near Lac La Biche Mission in Alberta. Sher attends first-nations gatherings and Pow Wows, and wants to honour her roots by sharing among native circles what she has come to understand as the first principle of self-healing: to clear the body of emotional stress using energy medicine.
