Spring – A Time for Metamorphosis and Change

The cocoon is a place where the butterfly spends its time getting ready to emerge and fly with new wings. The metamorphosis journey with its dark, warm environment embodies the mystery of the unknown and supports change to occur ever so gradually moving from one stage to another. Winter is our cocoon and spring is our opportunity to shed old habits, shift, release and transform ways that no longer work for us. With the new season I offer you a daily meditation to support the shifts you are making. Think of something you are ready to let go of. Imagine yourself in the safety of a dark comfortable cocoon rich with all the ingredients you need to make the changes you are wanting. You are fully supported and held and given full permission to transform and lighten with each breath you take. Your senses awaken giving you the strength to grow your wings so you can fly with ease and effortlessness.

Shoulder Pain?

What do you do when your anti-inflammatories don’t take care of your shoulder pain?  Often, a diagnosis such as “tendonitis” is the source of your symptoms however it is rarely the cause.  So if your shoulder pain returns when going off the meds, possibly looking at muscle imbalances around your shoulder blade or your overall mid-back mobility might be the key to getting your rotator cuff tendons to be less inflamed.

With my patients, I often use the analogy of brand new tires on your vehicle.  If you don’t get the wheel alignment checked, you will always wear out the front left tire.  Our Physiotherapist, Athletic Therapist and Sport Medicine Doctor can help address your alignment so you don’t wear out your front left wheel!

Shingles Vaccine: Should you get it?

Shingles is a viral infection that is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you’ve had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue and can reactivate as shingles years later. Shingles can occur anywhere on your body but it most often appears as a very painful, blistering rash along your torso. It’s estimated that nearly 1 in 3 people will experience shingles in their lifetime, with an increased risk if you’re over 50 years old.

The shingles vaccine, Zostavax II, is approved for adults age 50 or older and it’s recommended if you’re 60 or above, even if you’ve had shingles before. This is because shingles can occur more than once! The vaccine decreases the risk of shingles by about half. While it cannot completely prevent everyone that receives it from getting shingles, it can help reduce the intensity and duration of shingles related pain in these people.

Talk to your pharmacist or physician to see if the shingles vaccine is right for you!

Holistic Health Coaching

The role of a health coach is to help you achieve an improved state of health. By educating you to better understand and enhance your body’s own innate healing capacity and changing your approach to food, we will create healthy patterns and choices to enhance your overall well-being. I have a holistic approach to health coaching which includes the use of Reiki energy medicine.

During an initial health consultation we will discuss your unique situation in depth and determine how we can reach your personal goals together. Everything we work on including food and lifestyle choices will be in partnership with any medical intervention chosen by you and your doctor and will serve as a support to that treatment path. I neither diagnose nor directly treat disease. I respect your physiological and emotional individuality and all recommendations will take into account your particular situation.

Paralysis by Analysis

Lots of people think about getting back in shape. They go on the computer and research training plans, nutrition, cardio regimens, gyms, sports and more. There is so much information out there and often people want to figure out what the best thing to do is. The problem is we spend so much time researching and not enough time doing. In the time spent sitting at the computer we could have gotten up gone for a run or walk, done some pushups, sit ups and so on… The same thing happens with our money! We research paying down debt, investing, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds until our head is spinning and in the end we accomplish nothing. The solution for both is to take action and make a change!

Spring Cleaning

Kitchens and bathrooms are breeding grounds for germs, so keeping them clean just makes good sense. But did you know about the link between tidy living spaces and mental wellness? After these long, dark winter months spring cleaning can revive not only your home but also your mind and spirit. Mess equals stress and it keeps you from things you love and contributes to feeling overwhelmed. We all want a clean home, but not everyone knows how to achieve this.

Here are 3 steps to creating a routine that works for you:

  1. Create a task list room by room.
  2. Decide how often each task should be performed (daily, weekly, monthly).
  3. Set aside 45 minutes each day to check items off your list (15 minutes before work, after work and before bedtime works just as well)

Denture ‘Info Bite’

Implant supported dentures provide better health-related quality of life than conventional dentures. Dentures can either be retained through the natural anatomy of your mouth and the suction it creates, or they can be retained by natural teeth. If you are missing all your teeth we would typically recommend placing at least 2 implants in the jaw. Small attachments (Locator Attachments) go on to the implant and snap into the denture. This helps the denture to stay put and is also much more comfortable to wear. With better retention and stability, implant dentures are a much better option than conventional dentures. They also help maintain bone, which helps maintain your facial structure and appearance. Not to mention they help you eat better and eating well is the key to general well-being.
