Book Club: The Pivot Year:
365 Days to Become the Person You Truly Want to be. The Pivot Year is a book of 365 daily meditations on finding the courage to become who you’ve always wanted to be, from the internationally bestselling author, Brianna Wiest. If you’re in a pivot period – if you’re still bridging the space between where you are and where you want to be – remember that the person you’re becoming is already within you. The journey is convincing your mind to act consistently on what your heart already knows it wants to do.
Winter Pet Safety
It’s important to practice diligence when bringing your pets outside as they can suffer from hypothermia and frostbite. Exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads are at the most risk during extreme cold snaps. For this reason, short-haired dogs often feel more comfortable wearing a sweater—even during short walks. Rock salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate the pads of your pet’s feet. Wipe all paws with a damp towel before your pet licks them and irritates their mouth. Consider opting for booties to keep your dog’s paws extra warm and comfortable, all while protecting them from irritants.
Reset Your Mind, Body & Spirit
Embrace new goals and fresh beginnings this New Year by putting yourself first. A rejuvenating Sound Bath is not only a relaxing experience that sounds beautiful, but it is also a powerful tool for wellness. Science shows that it helps to reduce stress, ease tension and much, much more. This immersive experience uses resonant sounds from instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to create beautiful waves of therapeutic vibrations. Many participants find the Sound Bath to be a deeply relaxing meditative journey, ideal for setting intentions and fostering a sense of renewal. Beginning the year with this mindful practice can create a harmonious foundation for the months ahead, nurturing mind, body and spirit.
Experience the Change
Reiki is a spiritual energy used for meditation, healing, and personal growth. It works by enhancing the “Life Force Energy” that flows through all living beings. When this energy is blocked or low, it affects well-being and health. Reiki balances energy on mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, promoting overall wellness. This concept of Life Force Energy has been recognized by various cultures for thousands of years, and scientific studies have begun exploring its role in healing and immune function. Reiki helps activate the body’s divine healing power for improved health and balance.
Stay Safe While Shoveling Snow!
Winter is here, bringing snow and the need to shovel! While it can be a great workout, improper technique can lead to injury. To stay safe, start by warming up with 5-10 minutes of light movement or stretches. Use proper technique by bending at the knees, not your back, and keep the shovel close to your body. Avoid twisting your back by turning your whole body when tossing snow. Pace yourself by taking breaks every 10-15 minutes to avoid overexertion. Choose a lightweight, ergonomic shovel to reduce strain, and whenever possible, push the snow instead of lifting it. If you feel any aches or pains after shoveling, consider booking a therapy session. Stay warm and injury-free!
What is CPAP Therapy?
Otherwise known as Constant Positive Airway Pressure, CPAP therapy is the gold standard choice in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with significantly higher success rates than corrective surgery or dental appliances in moderate to severe cases. A pressure is applied gently to the airway to relieve flaccid anatomical muscle tone during sleep through an externally affixed mask. The patient’s perception is that like a fan, that translates into an airway splint or pressure to keep the airway open during sleep. Through repetitive use and as their pre-treatment symptoms subside, improved breathing is achieved.

Food Cravings And What They Mean
Did you know that certain food cravings are associated with a nutrient deficiency? Craving salt equals a lack of trace minerals, craving sweets indicates a chromium deficiency, chocolate cravings mean a lack of magnesium, craving dairy and cheese indicates an essential fatty acids deficiency and a red meat craving means you need iron and/or B12. When your body lacks vital nutrients, it can lead to chemical imbalances which alter the pH of your tissues. Ignoring the reasons behind your cravings won’t change them and will not improve your overall health. Nutritional testing and precisely formulated nutraceuticals are the best ways to find out what nutrients you lack, give your body what it needs, and handle those unwanted cravings for good.
Winter Wellness Tips for Seniors
Winnipeg winters can be beautiful, but they also present unique challenges. Here’s how to navigate the season safely and comfortably: 1. Stay Social: Cold weather can lead to isolation.

Ensure proper footwear and consider arranging safe transportation for essential outings. 3.

Stay prepared, stay warm, and stay connected this winter!
