About Your Facilitators

Sid Tayal created the Centre For Awareness in 1978 to bring awareness of Wholistic Health to the people of the Kootenays. As interest in the Healing Arts grew, so did the Centre. Now workshops have been expanded into the Pacific Northwest and Idaho offering Acupressure through Canadian Healing Arts Institute. Sid devotes his energies to the Centre and CHAI as full time counsellor and facilitator. Sid with his 35 years of experience offers private sessions and workshops in Acupressure, Acupoint, Touch Polarity, Bodywork, Reflexology, Nutritional Guidance, Past Life Regression, Meditation, and Emotional Counselling.

Bonny K. Kavaloff has studied several forms of wholistic healing arts including Acupressure, Aromatherapy, and Reiki. Bonny, working as counsellor and body worker, shares her energies and experience with people on their healing journey.
