Pain is not a good indicator of health. It is a signal from your body to indicate that something is not happy and that you should pay attention. But what do most people do? They ignore it and get on with their lives, until the wheels fall off and it can no longer be ignored. They live life by the 5 most dangerous words, “Maybe it will go away.” What if we switched our thinking away from pain and focused more on function and how well we move? Often the source of your pain is dysfunctional movement, compounded over years. Better function is what leads to good health and less pain.

Benefits of Art Therapy
Art therapy provides a number of both physical and mental benefits to people of all ages. It can help improve your overall mental health and wellbeing by staving off depression and anxiety, improving your self-esteem, and giving you a greater sense of control. Practicing artistic pursuits can also boost your cognitive functioning and sense of identity, and when done in a group setting, can provide important opportunities for social connection. From a physical perspective, painting can improve your hand-eye coordination and dexterity, and studies have suggested that the positive mental health effects of art therapy can also improve physical wellbeing.
Breast Cancer Garments & Prosthetics
Breast cancer is devastating; physically, mentally, and emotionally. Being able to put on a favorite outfit or wear a swimsuit to the beach is empowering. Properly fitted garments and prosthetics are an important part of the process of moving forward. Post-surgical swelling can be managed with compression garments that range from discreet to outrageous colours to match your personality, and let you be you.
More Than Skin Deep!
Feed the roots of your health! Go beyond the surface level. Photobiomodulation or Light Therapy is a proven model of healing therapy that focuses on the foundations of your health. Stimulating the mitochondria (energy packs of your cells) to do their job more efficiently. Giving you healthy sebum secretion, increased collagen production, improved healing times from accidents and surgeries, and increases the circulation in your muscles producing improved recovery times. At White Cedar we focus on nourishing the roots of your health giving you more control and lasting results. Benefits: no side effects, no-touch, cost-effective.
Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Conditions
Do you suffer from a nagging injury like tennis elbow, achilles tendonitis, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries or plantar fasciitis? Shockwave therapy is one of the best research-backed treatments for chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not healed properly. It involves the application of acoustic sound waves to kick-start healing, control pain, and restore mobility. Often patients will feel relief after their first treatment and can expect more significant and lasting changes within 3-5 applications. Shockwave Therapy coupled with Class IV Laser Therapy is evidence based and the gold standard in tendon healing.
Introducing BodyFX Body Sculpting
BodyFX is a long lasting, non-invasive solution, that will reshape your body to provide a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. BodyFX utilizes radiofrequency to break down fat deposits in larger areas of the body. These kinds of bodily regions include the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, bra areas and flanks. The goal of a BodyFX treatment is to reduce stubborn fat deposits, improving the appearance of cellulite and overall body contours. The result is not just a reduction in fat, but also a remodeling and tightening of the skin – which is everyone’s dream goal for body sculpting.
The Sober Connection
Connection holds a remarkable power in our lives—especially in the relationships we nurture with ourselves, our community, and out in nature. Without connection, it’s easy to fall into the “half-life” I was stuck in, an existence haunted by ancestral pain and the constant playing out of old patterns.
Without connection, humans wither and decline. That’s why I created Solbrü elixirs. Solbrü is designed from the ground up to bolster connection, compassion, and self-healing. Embrace a healthier lifestyle, feel empowered—not disheartened. Set a positive example for yourself and others around you, I want you to feel loved—not shunned.
Overcoming Challenges & Gaining Confidence
Many women avoid gym programs for their exercise routines because they are self-conscious. It’s normal to feel this way, especially at the start of a weight loss program. So first, give yourself a break. Then, give yourself a kick. The hardest part is showing up, so think about what might help you do that. Here are some tips: Mid-morning and mid-afternoon are likely to be less crowded than lunchtime or before or after work. Bring a friend! It’s easier to try something new when you have support. Also find comfort in knowing that many of the women you see in the gym are embarking on the same journey as you.
