Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach used to help individuals process and heal from trauma. EMDR involves recalling distressing memories while simultaneously focusing on external stimuli, typically guided eye movements. This dual attention process helps to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, allowing individuals to reframe negative beliefs. EMDR is widely used for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Its effectiveness has been supported by extensive research, and many clients report significant symptom relief after a relatively short number of sessions.

Staying Social as a Senior
Staying socially connected is essential for overall well-being as we age. Regular social interaction can boost mood, sharpen memory, reduce stress, and even improve physical health. Whether it’s joining a walking group, attending community events, volunteering, or simply enjoying a regular coffee date with friends or family—connection matters. Even small interactions, like a chat with a neighbour, can brighten your day and make a lasting impact. If mobility or transportation is a challenge, consider virtual visits or phone check-ins. Staying social doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs to be consistent. For more helpful tips, visit us at
Show Your Love & Appreciation
Flowers are a timeless way to show love and appreciation on Mother’s Day. Their vibrant colors and sweet scents beautifully express the gratitude we feel but sometimes struggle to say. From classic roses to cheerful daisies or elegant lilies, each bloom carries a message of care, admiration, and warmth. Gifting flowers is more than a tradition—it’s a heartfelt gesture that brightens a mother’s day and reminds her how deeply she’s cherished. Whether given in a bouquet or planted in a garden, flowers say “thank you” in nature’s most graceful language, making Mother’s Day a little more special and full of love.
Laughter is the Best Medicine
I choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, “I’ll bet a doughnut wouldn’t have done this to me.”

April is Oral Health Month
Oral health is important for everyone, including denture wearers. Gum disease, dental decay, and tooth loss are some of the main problems that denture wearers experience, so it is important to take good care of your gums, any remaining natural teeth, and to keep your partial or complete denture(s) clean and properly fitted! If gums, natural teeth, partials, and complete dentures are not cleaned properly, you are likely to experience a build-up of plaque, leading to bad breath, cavities, gum disease and further tooth loss. Denturists and dental hygienists play an integral role in the maintenance of your oral health. Be sure to book an appointment today.
