About 71 percent of seniors are online every day. Of those who are online, their main reason is to stay connected with family and friends. Whether it’s joining forums or sharing photos and stories with loved ones, social media and email allows seniors with limited mobility the opportunity to interact with others. If you’re interested in getting online but don’t know where to start, community centres and local senior groups often have programs to teach seniors about the internet and how to participate in online communities. Spending time with others benefits our mental and emotional health. It is important as we age to continue to stay socially connected to friends and loved ones.

As we get older, our bodies start to produce less collagen and store more fat—this is what eventually leads to wrinkles, sagging, cellulite and other signs of aging. Body shaping treatments using radio frequency technology naturally boost collagen production and break down fat cells, which diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, tightens sagging skin, smoothens out cellulite, and makes the body look slimmer, sculpted, and more toned. Radio frequency is proven safe and effective for all skin tones. It can be done throughout the summer and you can return to your daily activities immediately afterward.

Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is an abdominal massage involving gentle stimulation and breathwork to
promote healthy functioning and detoxification of the internal organ systems. By promoting the
circulation of blood and fluids within the spaces of the abdomen, we facilitate the
parasympathetic nervous system’s ability to bring us into a state of rest and digest in order for
the body to nourish and regenerate. CNT can be helpful in the relief of complex conditions
involving stress, anxiety, digestive, and menstrual complaints. In creating space within our core,
we encourage the body’s natural ability to function healthfully and harmoniously.
