Treatments
ACCESS BARS TREATMENT
During a Bars session a practitioner lightly touches 32 points on your head over the course of an hour or an hour and a half. Touching the Bars allows for the electromagnetic charge that holds thoughts, feelings, and emotions in place to dissipate, allowing you to perceive your life, body and relationships with more clarity and ease.
$100 for 60 minutes
Treatment times are on a first come-first served basis.
Book early to get your preferred times. Evening treatments fill first.

An all inclusive experience at the Cassiar Cannery - meditation, yoga, silk scarf eco-dyeing, big canoe paddling, massage, sumptuous meals and incredibly comfortable bed! I watched herons from my water-view queen room in Halibut House and shared the rest of the cabin and lots of laughter with 3 amazing women. From arrival to departure the retreat was a delight, including the ViaRail train stopping at the Cannery to drop off and collect passengers. Would I go again? You betcha! merlincreations, Terrace, BC
"Fabulous Women's Rejuvenation Retreat
This weekend truly lived up to its intention as a "rejuvenation retreat". There was just the right balance of down time and scheduled activities, the food was amazing, the scenery was fabulous, and I laughed so much that my face hurt. Ruth, Quesnel, BC
Cassiar Canery is a beautiful place to spend a weekend away! The activities, quality of food and service were impeccable! The cabins are super clean and comfortable, each with their added touch of history and personal touches made this a memorable place to stay! I highly recommend it! Linda, Vanderhoof, BC
I have just returned from a long weekend at Cassiar Cannery where I had the most fabulous time. Justine and Mark have worked incredibly hard to transform the old Cannery into a welcoming haven. The food was amazing, the activities were varied and fun, and the company was the best! I loved the yoga and meditation, the canoe trip around the island, the scarf making, the mud facial, the massage, the comfortable beds, the view - oh, where do I stop?!?! It was a truly wonderful experience!! Sally, Vanderhoof, BC

So grateful to have spent the past weekend at the Cassiar Cannery! Justine and her family have created a beautiful, peaceful, and special place. The cabins are so well done and very cozy and the views are spectacular. Everything about the women's retreat was perfect...delicious food, relaxing spa treatments, a big canoe adventure, fantastic yoga/meditation sessions, and great company.I would definitely love to return again soon! Thank you again ♡ Becky, BC
Extend Your Stay with the Women's Relax Retreat
It's unusual for women to do nothing. Wake up at your leisure, have an uninterrupted coffee and a read of that book you just can't quite find time to open, hang out with your sister, mom or besties on the deck, or just have a chance to be by yourself for a couple days, the Women's Relax is designed for just that - a chance to decompress and do nothing - unless you want to.
We have organized some optional day trips. Late May onwards is a fantastic time to visit the Khutzeymateen Valley, Canada's first grizzly bear sanctuary. In September, it is peak whale watching season when pods of migrating humpback whales feed in our cool waters.
We will get out on a scenic jet boat adventure up some of the Skeena tributaries or poking around the myriad of historic sites around the lower Skeena River. The scenery is truly magnificent; the guides are safe and knowledgable. Tides and weather dictate where we end up. This adventure is one of our personal favourites and it does not disappoint!
GAME ON! Next Women's Rejuvenation Retreat is October 12 - 15, 2023
