For many of us, consent has been about saying no, an ignored no, or it has not been discussed at all. It might have felt fuzzy or not quite right in our body. Or maybe a ‘heck yes’ in our toes. For most of us it is an incomplete conversation. Consent is an embodied experience that can empower our relationship with self and with others; awaken our intimate life; allow us to take with full abandon, and to surrender completely. When we access our yes, no, maybe, slow down, and pause, practising over and over again, in a safe enough space. This is the work we do together.

Health Benefits of Frequencies
To improve your health and sense of well-being, raise your frequency. Every cell in your body resonates at its own specific frequency. When you become overburdened with stress and toxins, your cellular frequencies weaken and resonate at a lower, dysfunctional frequency. Rooted in ancient medicine and now embraced by modern science, the frequencies of sound, light and colour are proven to have therapeutic benefits for many issues ranging from stress and chronic pain, to emotional trauma, depression and anxiety. Start simply by setting aside quiet music time to de-stress and detox and begin to raise your frequency to a new level of wellness.
Sound Therapy for Relaxation
During difficult times, you can use sound and soothing music to help with relaxation. Try this simple exercise: sit quietly for a few moments and then think of a very loving experience. As you think of this loving experience, begin to sound a very gentle “ah” sound. Make this sound as a long, extended sound: “Aaaaaahhhhh” and think about love, peace and calm. Feel your heart chakra resonate with this sound. Feel your heart center opening, balancing and aligning with this energy. The “ah” sound is excellent for working with the energy of the heart center and triggering relaxation.

Positive thinking can help you to handle problems more effectively and provide a boost to your immune system and self-esteem. Step 1: Write down the things you are worried and stressed about to get them out of your head. Step 2: Make a list of things you feel positive or grateful for. Step 3: When you find yourself in a negative thought, remind yourself of the things you are grateful for. This will help to train your brain to focus on the positive.
Caring for Hearing Devices
Taking good care of your hearing aids can significantly prolong their life. *Make sure your hands are clean and dry before handling your hearing aids. *Clean them regularly using your hearing aid cleaning kit. *Remove hearing aids before showering, bathing, or swimming and store in a dry location away from condensation. *Remove them before applying perfume or hair spray. *Store them in their case or drying cup away from heat sources and direct sunlight. *If you won’t be using your hearing aids for an extended period, remove the batteries and store them separately. *Use a hearing aid expert if you need repairs.
3D Healing for Trauma
When a traumatic event happens, emotional information is created and then stored in two places – as a memory in our brain and as an emotion/feeling in the body! Stored and unprocessed emotional trauma is the root cause of many health issues as proven in numerous scientific clinical research studies around the world. The energetic stored negative emotion can be easily removed without pain through the use of a new 3D-Healing application based on Quantum Hypnotherapy. If you experienced a traumatic event, seek help. PTSD can be resolved so that life can continue to be in a happy place.
Chiropractic Care for All Your Joints

Increasing, the body’s capacity to adapt and function normally is the ultimate goal of chiropractic.

Enjoy Your Pumpkin Treats
It isn’t all bad news when it comes to your favourite pumpkin fall treats. While drinks and pies contain sugar, pumpkin itself can be good for your teeth! They contain magnesium, which works with calcium to build strong tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Pumpkins are packed with fiber helping to scrub your teeth and contributes to saliva production. Like to spice it up? The cinnamon used to create the fall flavour contains antioxidants that can help boost your immune system, as well as anti-inflammatory properties that can help sooth irritated gums. So, enjoy, in moderation, and rinse with water afterwards.
Plan for the Future
Planning is important. We plan for things such as children, home purchases and funerals. As we age, we may require assistance with daily activities of living or something happens that leaves us unable to perform these activities. At this time, care might be the next step to maintaining independence. Planning ahead can help avoid the stress and anxiety of finding help when you need it the most. Things to consider: Do you want to stay in your own home? Do you have family who can assist in caring for you? Is your home accessible if your mobility decreases? We can help.
