One of the best things about living on Vancouver Island is having nature right in our backyard. With summer just around the corner, it is a great time to take advantage of everything our island has to offer. Whether it is just a walk around the block or a hike up a mountain, the fresh air and exercise boost our well-being. So lace up your shoes and wear VoxxLife socks with HPT for enhanced balance and stability. Additional benefits include; enhanced pain relief and management, especially PDN pain and improved mobility.

Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world”. Research shows that our children and grandchildren’s learning and education have been negatively impacted during the last two years. Tutoring, summer camps and holistic learning support can help to mitigate these learning losses. Tutoring can strengthen subject comprehension, boost confidence, and build important learning skills with programs developed based on a student’s passion and talents. Summer Forest Camps can help by providing a safe place to socialize, learn, connect to nature and play in a small group setting. Contact us to learn more.

Kathleen came into Pilates with sore hips from a desk job and a long commute. She had been hesitant to try Pilates because she was self-conscious about her weight and was afraid that Pilates might hurt. Within three sessions, she said ‘This is fun’ and had much less pain and discomfort when walking and standing. Now, Kathleen smokes less, exercises more, has taken up gardening, and is far more confident with herself. She attends two to three Pilates classes a week. Contact Norah to book a private Pilates class. She will adapt Pilates to your needs and help you feel better.

Being physically active can help with injury prevention, maintain health and improve mobility. If we don’t use our muscles or move our joints, we can “rust” just like a piece of machinery that is left to sit idle. Being active does not necessarily mean lifting heavy weights or running a marathon. It can be as simple as performing gentle prescribed exercises, mobility drills, and active release stretches that can help us maintain mobility and prevent injury. Making small changes in our routine can have huge impacts on whole-body health, the healing process and general well-being. Contact us – we can help you get started.
