PULSE: Tell me a little bit about your- P: What does your typical spa service
self. How did you enter into the world
of spa?
Tryon: I come from Northern Ontario consist of?
T: I always start with a card reading,
and I try to help them in a few areas:
in Canada. I use my intuitive abilities
to tune into one’s spiritual energy sur-
rounding the past, present and future
to provide life-changing insights. I
communicate with loved ones, guides
and spirits—it’s been a gift since I
was a small child.
I had a master chef client who was
hosting a “psychic BBQ.” My job was
to provide private mini-readings for
each [guest] over the course of the af-
ternoon, including [former ISPA Vice-
chairman] Todd Hewitt, who was
working at the Four Seasons Toronto
at the time. After his reading, he told
me he wanted me to come and work
at that spa for his guests. This was the
first time they had ever entertained
any such type of ‘service’ offering but
we went for it. It just felt so natural
and the rest is history. family, relationships, career, finance…I
touch on each one of those areas.
Often, we’ll have someone who would
like to come through to say hello. So, it
could be grandmother, mother, father,
a good friend—somebody usually
gives them a message that they un-
derstand and that might give them
some healing or closure. I try to focus
on areas that I can help people navi-
gate the world. I don’t focus on neg-
ativity, that’s not what I do.
P: What’s the benefit to spa-goers?
What’s your goal with each reading?
T: Tapping into your true self, or your
higher self. I can help people connect
with the energy that they need to help
with their wellbeing. We all know that
we have layers of energy, and in each
reading I step into people’s energy.
Sometimes I can feel the pain of a
loss; if someone has an injury, I can
feel that; I can feel the stress of [par-
enthood]. By going through each level
of those energy layers, we can connect
and touch on something that allows
them to go forward out of the spa and
feel lighter, feel energized. I’m able to
help people deal with different areas,
and I never know what will happen
from reading to reading. Just when I
feel that I’ve got it figured out, it
changes.
Sometimes [a guest] will come in
and I’ll say, “I’m not sure that you
need me today, but you need to get
that massage, you’re so exhausted.”
I’m not a counselor, I’m not a doctor,
and I have to make sure they under-
stand that, but I just give them direc-
tion and a compass.
P: Practically speaking, spas often have
tight appointment times—30 minutes,
50 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. Can you
