Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy healing technique used for relaxation, stress reduction and balance that can promote healing on many levels. It is typically given by ‘laying on of hands’ as you lie on a massage table fully clothed. This higher frequency, positive energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into your energy field releasing ‘energy blockages’ by lifting and transforming lower frequency energies such as worry, fear, anger and anxiety. The deep relaxation experienced with Reiki can have many beneficial effects including more calm/stillness to the body & mind, better sleep, reduced stress & pain and reduction of overwhelm and anxiety.

Long-Term Brain & Spine Wellness
Concussions can have long-term effects if not properly managed. Ongoing chiropractic care supports spinal health, improves mobility, and enhances nervous system communication, which are all vital for lasting recovery. Even after symptoms fade, regular adjustments help reduce the risk of re-injury and maintain overall wellness. Combine care with a healthy lifestyle of balanced diet, regular movement, and stress management. This September, think long-term. Chiropractic care isn’t just about bouncing back after a concussion, it’s about building resilience, protecting your brain and spine, and ensuring you can stay active and healthy for years to come.
Menopause, Arthritis & Joint Health
Noticing more aching or stiffness during perimenopause? Estrogen receptors are found throughout the body, and fluctuating and declining estrogen can contribute to a variety of symptoms during the menopause transition. While joint symptoms shouldn’t automatically be attributed to menopause, this is an important time to consider your overall musculoskeletal health—including conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Supporting strong bones matters too, especially since rheumatoid arthritis is a risk factor for low bone density. Adequate calcium and vitamin D are important for bone health, with 1,200 mg of calcium daily recommended for women aged 51 and older. Whenever possible, meet calcium needs through food, alongside regular movement and adequate vitamin D.

Your favourite dressing or sauce

Healthier Trees, Healthier Growth
As fall approaches, it’s a good time to assess the health of your trees and plan necessary removals before winter. Removing dead, diseased, or declining trees can reduce potential hazards while giving healthier trees more room, sunlight, water, and nutrients to grow. With Saskatchewan’s elm pruning ban lifted after September 1, homeowners can once again have their elm trees safely pruned. Don’t procrastinate—scheduling tree care early can help prevent damage from winter winds, snow, and ice.

Know The Signs Early
August is Autoinflammatory Awareness Month, a reminder that living well starts with listening to your body. Persistent or recurring symptoms such as unexplained fevers, joint pain, fatigue, rashes, or ongoing inflammation should never be ignored. While these symptoms can have many causes, they may also be signs of a rare autoinflammatory disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve long term health and quality of life. If you are experiencing ongoing symptoms or have concerns, speak with your local healthcare practitioner.
