In Canada, Remembrance Day is November 11. We hold space for those who went to war and those who didn’t return. Everyone is affected by war and can be affected for many generations. If you had family members who went to war, you may have many different emotions and memories. You may have also inherited these emotions from your family members. The Body Code healing modality assists in releasing these inherited trapped emotions, helping you understand them. A Certified Body/Emotion Code Practitioner can help you release unprocessed negative (trapped) emotions and assist you in creating healthy memories. Contact Permelia today for an appointment.

Relaxation and Self-Care
Client Testimonial: “Raindrop and endocrine treatments are a regular part of my self-care practice. They are a little break out of the busyness of life where I simply slow down and relax into my body. I feel the release and flow of stuck energy and always leave feeling more clarity and grounded. I’m beyond grateful for Jennifer’s knowledge and expertise in essential oils, her healing touch, and her loving care.” A Raindrop Technique Massage combines massage, distinctive energy approaches, intuitive wisdom, and pure essential oils. An endocrine massage is a relaxing soft touch massage using Young Living essential oils and crystals.
Eat for the Season
Welcome to Autumn, a season of transition and reflection in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This time of year corresponds to the Lung and Large Intestine, calling for nourishment through warming, digestible foods that support immunity. Soups are ideal, stoking digestion with ginger, garlic, onions, and seasonal vegetables such as squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes. These foods warm the body and support lung health. Adding warming spices like cinnamon enhances digestion and fortifies the body. Pairing this with digestion-supporting acupuncture creates a holistic approach to staying balanced and healthy during the seasonal change.
Eating Healthy at Holiday Meals
Holiday and special celebration meals are amazing. The endless array of baking, casseroles, and other rich foods can make your mouth water long before the meal. Sometimes “too much of a good thing is—too much!” To stay on track with healthy eating during celebrations, plan ahead of time. Decide what you cannot live without and plan to enjoy it without guilt. Allow yourself to indulge in small portions and savour them. Be sure to include fresh vegetables and drink plenty of water during the celebration to keep hydrated. Water helps flush out the extra salt and fat that you consume.
Is Your Back Sore?
Here is a simple “exercise” you can do to help relieve back pain. All you need is a *floor, *a yoga mat or rug, and *a coffee table or couch to put your legs up on. Lie down on the mat with your calves up on the table or couch. Your knees and hips should be at a 90-degree angle; knees stacked over hips. Lie there for two to 15 minutes and let gravity do the work of putting your spine, hips, and pelvis back into a neutral position. If necessary, keep your knees stacked by using pillows to support them.
Autumn: Time to Reflect
Summer has now passed and winter is fast approaching. The transition of seasons is a great time to slow down and reflect on how our goals are going, what needs to be worked on, and how the changing seasons will impact our goals. This is particularly important for health goals. The kids are back in school, the days are getting shorter, and the weather is changing, which can prevent us from being as active. These changes don’t mean you have to put your goals on hold until after the holidays; we can make small changes to keep working towards our goals.

Meet the Practitioner: Chrissandra Unger
A few years ago, I was feeling burnt out, processing some past traumas, and had low energy. A lot of self-care and energy adjustments were deeply needed. I read about Biofield Tuning, which made me curious to see what it could do for me. I found an amazing practitioner, and the results were remarkable—my energy returned, and I was able to set more heart desires in motion. I self-cared and studied this method and became a Biofield Tuning practitioner. I now help people with anxiety and depression, energy renewal, fear and grief, adrenal fatigue, and more.

Maintain Your Pearly Whites
We get asked this question all the time: “How often should I brush and floss my teeth?” We recommend that you brush your teeth in the morning before eating. It is best to floss and rinse after every meal to help maintain the enamel (whiteness) of the teeth. After drinking or eating acidic foods, always wait 45 minutes to brush your teeth. Acidic foods soften enamel, and if you brush too soon, it thins your enamel prematurely. Follow these tips and visit your dental hygienist regularly to help keep your teeth healthy and white.
