Children are remarkably intuitive, often sensing tension between parents even when efforts are made to shield them. Studies show that the brains of children who witness ongoing conflict can develop neuropathways similar to those of soldiers exposed to combat. That’s why in family mediation the child is often considered the client. Child-inclusive mediation goes beyond focusing on their needs and best interests. At White Dove Counselling and Mediation, we ensure that children’s perspectives and desired outcomes are heard, helping guide parents toward agreements that support healing, understanding, and stronger family connections.

Turmeric Benefits
Turmeric is a golden-orange spice from the root of a native Asian plant, long valued in cooking and traditional medicine. Its active compound, curcumin, offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that may help protect cells, reduce inflammation, and support overall health. Studies suggest turmeric may ease arthritis pain, improve mood, and benefit heart and kidney health, though more research is needed. Dietitian Mary-Eve Brown advises adding turmeric to meals rather than taking supplements, which can cause side effects and interact with medications. Combining turmeric with black pepper boosts absorption. Enjoy it in soups, stews, or as a soothing tea for a flavorful, healthful addition to your diet.
Kundalini Yoga Benefits
Kundalini yoga combines movement, breathwork, chanting, and meditation to support physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Physically, it improves flexibility, strength, circulation, posture, and can aid detoxification while balancing the nervous system. Stress is reduced as deep breathing and meditation lower cortisol and activate relaxation responses. Mentally and emotionally, regular practice enhances focus, memory, emotional balance, energy levels, and self-awareness. Many practitioners report reduced anxiety, greater clarity, and a stronger connection to their thoughts and emotions. Spiritually, Kundalini yoga can foster personal growth, heightened consciousness, emotional healing, and a deeper sense of purpose. By integrating body, mind, and spirit, this practice offers a holistic approach to wellness, helping individuals cultivate resilience, inner calm, and an increased awareness of their physical and emotional states. Whether for stress relief, energy, or spiritual exploration, Kundalini yoga provides a versatile path to overall well-being.
Why is Yoga Nidra so Powerful
Yoga Nidra induces deep relaxation while keeping the mind conscious, calming the nervous system and reducing stress by shifting the body from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-digest.” It lowers cortisol, releases physical tension, and improves sleep quality. Mentally and emotionally, it fosters self-awareness, emotional healing, clarity, creativity, memory, and concentration. By quieting mental chatter, it enhances cognitive function and promotes a sense of grounding. Regular practice also increases present-moment awareness, supports overall well-being, and provides profound rest and rejuvenation, making it a powerful tool for both mental and physical health.

We Can All Use a Little More Joy
After hosting more than 400 spa parties in Saskatoon, I’ve seen how laughter, play, and creativity transform any group. Guests enjoy playful treatments like hand and foot soaks or funny face masks, then dive into making spa products together. What begins with careful measuring and “Am I doing this right?” quickly shifts into giggles, connection, and that spark of pride in what they’ve created. These aren’t just parties, they’re reminders that joy is healing, laughter is powerful, and connection truly matters. Spa Like a Boss: mildly hilarious, wildly entertaining.

Aging and Medication Dosing
As we age, changes to our blood pressure, kidneys, and muscles can affect how our bodies handle medications. For example, some types of blood pressure medications might not work as well for elderly patients. Because our kidneys start to slow down, drugs that are cleared from the body through the kidneys often need lower doses and closer monitoring. Losing muscle is also a normal part of aging and means that our bodies end up with a higher fat component, which can also affect medication dosing. These are some of the few things that our Pharamcists will consider when prescribing and dispensing your medications.
Stay Mobile & Comfortable this Winter
As temperatures drop, stiffness and discomfort often increase—especially for those with arthritis, old injuries, or chronic tension. Cold weather can slow circulation and tighten tissues, making movement harder. Gentle chiropractic care offers relief. Through soft tissue therapy and light joint mobilization, we help improve circulation, reduce stiffness, ease tight muscles, and support nerve function. These benefits enhance flexibility, comfort, and resilience during colder months. Regular chiropractic care keeps you active, mobile, and pain-free all season long—so you can move confidently, no matter the weather.
