What is Biofield Tuning?
Biofield Tuning is a sound therapy method that uses the frequency produced by tuning forks for targeted nervous system relaxation. Biofield tuning helps to alleviate a wide range of energetic, emotional, and physical issues. It is effective for anxiety & depression, energy renewal, fear & grief, adrenal fatigue, and more. Working on your body and in the area around your body, your biofield, I use the steady, coherent vibrational frequency of a tuning fork to assist your body to “tune” itself by relaxing, softening, settling, and releasing tension. Contact me for a free consultation.
Principles of Happier Aging™
We want to change the perceptions of aging. We believe that getting older doesn’t have to feel sad or helpless; instead, aging is something worth celebrating. As Atul Gawande wrote in his book, Being Mortal, “Our ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life to the very end”. Through our principles of Choice, Belonging, Respect, Autonomy and Purpose, we live Happier Aging. Happier Aging, at home, is our philosophy of care: for our clients, their families, our people and everyone we meet.

To Do or To Be – That Is The Question
Come fall, our to do lists become expansive and over -flowing beckoning us to address that which we’ve put off for some time in order to enjoy an expansive summer. It can be overwhelming yet oddly comforting to check off each to do item on our list only to discover there is no shortage of more. To be lists are equally important as they allow us to shift out of our heads and spend the quality time with ourselves, nature, music, creativity and the people that fill our hearts. This calms down our nervous system. Taking the time daily to do & to be, creates harmony and balance in our lives.
Dentures Help Manage Oral Frailty
Oral frailty, often seen in older adults, involves reduced oral health and function, which can impact overall well-being. Dentures play a crucial role in managing oral frailty. Well-fitting dentures help maintain proper chewing ability, improve speech, and support facial structure, which can contribute to better nutrition and quality of life. However, if dentures are not properly fitted or maintained, they can exacerbate oral frailty by causing discomfort, making eating and speaking difficult, and potentially leading to additional oral health issues like sores or infections. Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure dentures address and not worsen oral frailty.
Real Estate “Dual Agency”
Why doesn’t the agent want to show me their listing? It’s not because they don’t want to, but rather because they’re not able to provide agency services due to regulations set by the BC Financial Services Authority. Since 2018, licensees have not been able to represent both sides of the transaction (seller and buyer), otherwise known as “dual agency.” The regulator, BCFSA, recommends consumers seek their representation. The idea is that if you were ultimately going to have your agent represent you, it makes sense to get them involved from the start. We’d be happy to chat about your real estate needs.
