Resurfacing for Skin Renewal

Laser skin resurfacing involves accurate and precise treatment that helps restore the natural beauty of the skin. The long-lasting method targets imperfections in the skin, while leaving surrounding unblemished skin untouched. This allows for greater control over which parts of the skin are treated, unlike traditional treatments such as chemical peels or dermabrasion. The treatment stimulates the production of new collagen, helping to form new, tighter skin that is fresh and healthy looking. Laser skin resurfacing treatments are suitable for all skin types and tones, can involve everything from light touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, and require minimal patient downtime.

Improve Your Focus & Concentration Naturally

Very often the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. Alternative approaches such as Biofeedback testing and treatment are highly effective in improving focus and concentration. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body better function in times of overload, overwhelm and fatigue.

Optimize Your Eyes

What many people may not know is that not all progressive lenses are the same. Sure, there are your conventional ones, but now there are also lenses equipped with computer technology in the surface region of the lens. Not your average pair of glasses! Talk about high quality. This is called Freeform Progressive Technology. Freeform lenses can sharpen vision, provide brighter colours, and reduce glare caused by light sources at night. Many leaders in the vision industry see free-form technology as the revolution of vision.

Living Amidst Uncertainty

With so much uncertainty this fall, not knowing how our lives, schools and work will unfold and become impacted, sets the stage for a very different “fall experience” than we have experienced before. Nothing as we know it is quite the same. It is natural that loss, disappointment and anxiety will bubble up when our routines and structure changes without our consent. Adaptability, resiliency, an openness to surrender and welcoming in a great sense of humor are amongst the many tools needed to navigate the unknown. Reaching out and allowing room to grieve what can’t be, so we can open up to the creativity that can be.

Community Spotlight: Keto Treats Bakery

My journey to opening Keto Treats Bakery began when my son (age three at the time) began having seizures. After spending years researching what might help him, I learned that a high-fat, low-carb keto diet could play a key role in managing epilepsy. I also learned that such a diet could help me with my own inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. When life got busy, I found it difficult to keep up with the keto lifestyle and couldn’t find low-carb products readily available. Since then, I have made it my mission to provide customers with high-quality, low-carb baked goods!
