Ultrasonic For Acne, Blackheads & Congested Skin
Our target treatment is a drug-free, chemical-free and gentle alternative for blocked pores. The Ultrasonic literally vibrates acne, blackheads and congestion away! Pores can be blocked by oils that have “gone bad” which creates an environment for bacterial growth. The sound waves from Ultrasonic can dissolve and extract these oils, even if the congestion is deep under the skin. After treatment with a natural product, the Ultrasound is used to create channels in the skin for better nutrient absorption. A blue LED lamp reduces any propionibacterium acnes left under the skin. Most people experience a considerable difference after only one treatment.
Guilt of Placing Your Loved One in Long Term Care
Feelings of guilt and worry are normal responses when it becomes necessary for someone else to take over the duties of caring for your loved one. Emergency situations or health concerns can take the decision out of our hands. Other times, the decision to admit your loved one to a long term care community is an inch by inch process, with multiple family members weighing in and physicians and friends giving advice. Understand that sometimes professional care is necessary for the safety or comfort of your loved one and/or for you to have some life apart from caregiving.
With Glowing Hearts – TheatreOne
This is the rousing true story of women in Kirkland Lake, Ontario in the 1940’s who fought to improve conditions for their husbands working in the town’s mines. The women became the heart and soul of a union organizing drive that eventually changed their lives – and the world. The role women have played in Canada’s labour movement is largely untold. It is their efforts that have led to profound social and legislative changes, including the passage of important labour laws. The recent women’s marches seen across Canada and around the world in January of this year also make this story particularly timely and meaningful.
Laser Acupuncture for Smoking Cessation
If you’re trying to quit smoking once and for all, you’ve likely used a variety of products, from patches to gum to pills. The addictive qualities of cigarettes make smoking a tough habit to break, but there are safe and alternative measures you can take to remove this addiction from your life. Laser acupuncture is a non-invasive option that focuses on the three aspects of addiction: physical, using laser/electronic stimulation of acupressure points on your upper body; psychological, providing materials, tips, and one-on-one coaching; and detoxification, helping to eliminate cigarette toxins from your body.
Bowenwork Therapy for Frozen Shoulder
Do you experience joint pain or restriction in range of motion? As a Bowen Therapist, one of the complaints I see is Frozen Shoulder. This very painful condition often takes 1-2 years to “thaw”. Bowen Works patient Barb says, “In 2014, I suffered with two frozen shoulders. I was in excruciating pain and had very limited mobility. I tried other treatments but they were painful and didn’t help. I had not heard of Bowen Therapy before but after 5 treatments both shoulders were completely healed”. Bowen Therapy is safe, pain-free, and very effective in the treatment of Frozen Shoulder.
Gaming vs Gambling
Once upon a time, gaming and gambling were separate forms of entertainment, vying for their respective market share. In today’s world, now that people of all ages have wide-ranging access to the internet and smart phones, these industries have become powerhouses within their respective worlds. How people gamble has changed. How our youth play video games has changed as well: Never-ending self-contained online worlds, rife with micro-transactions fuel increased spending to simply keep up in the game. If this all sounds foreign to you, please connect with an under 40 gaming enthusiast near you. Gaming and gambling have changed. Now, there is even more reason to make sure we are doing both responsibly.
Why do you Wear Socks?
Socks are a creative way to express your personality and style like our prime minister with his maple leaf socks. Many of us choose our socks by appearance not realizing that there are many health benefits to wearing the right socks. Socks with antibacterial properties help prevent odors and fight germs and fungus. Socks can also prevent foot pain by protecting feet from the environment and if you wear them to bed, can help you fall asleep more easily. Today there are socks available that not only keep your feet warm, but may also offer general pain relief, more energy and increased balance and stability.

Over a year ago, Teresa’s husband brought home a copy of the Wellnessnews from Manitoba and said “You should look into this, we need this in our community.” We agreed and decided to bring Wellnessnews to Central Vancouver Island.

The feedback that we receive from our readers has been overwhelmingly positive. As we begin our second year of publishing we are over the moon thrilled to be doing so in full color!
Laser Hair Removal: How it Works
If you have unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be for you. Laser hair removal destroys hair follicles and stops hair from growing back. This technique results in long-term elimination of hair and has become the ultimate alternative to plucking, shaving, waxing and painful electrolysis. Prior to treatment, the hair is trimmed to the skin. For maximum comfort, a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied one hour prior to the treatment. Laser treatments should be performed by experienced, professional laser technicians using a FDA approved Lightsheer Diode Laser, the gold standard in permanent hair reduction. This ensures a comfortable procedure with the best possible result.
