“Behind all physical form is a presence that animates all of life. Can you align yourself with this presence by slowing down and being aware of all the tiny miracles that are taking place in every moment?”- Keith Macpherson

What is EMDR Therapy?
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.
Preventing Lyme Disease
Tick season is here in Manitoba. There are several kinds of ticks crawling around, including the Deer Tick which is responsible for transmitting Lyme Disease. Avoiding tick bites is the best way to prevent this. Here’s how you can keep yourself bite-free when spending time outdoors: 1) Wear closed-toe shoes, long sleeves, and pants. 2) Walk on pathways, staying clear of heavily wooded areas. 3) Use bug spray with DEET or picaridin. 4) After being outside, check yourself, children, gear, and pets for ticks, bathe, and put all clothes worn outdoors into a dryer for 10-20 minutes. If you find an embedded tick, gently remove it using tweezers by pulling close to the skin, avoiding squeezing the tick.

Allergy Season Is Back
Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
