Photon deficiencies are causing a host of degenerative diseases in our society as we spend more and more time indoors. Without light, our mitochondria produce less cellular energy for our bodies to use in a host of processes, causing unnecessary inflammation, pain, and metabolic dysfunction. When we’re lacking something in our diet – we supplement! Red light therapy provides so much for the body, especially in Canada where we are only outside in shorts and T-shirts for a limited part of each year. Put some resources towards these treatments and feel the difference in your body and mind.

Solutions to Home Ownership
Reverse mortgages can do more than help seniors deal with the rising cost of living. They can also help their children and grandchildren get into the housing market years sooner. One of the biggest barriers for younger people buying their first homes is saving for a down payment. A reverse mortgage can help get them over this hurdle and enter the market at a time when buyers have the advantage. I specialize in working with families to provide intergenerational solutions to home ownership. Contact me for a private family meeting and let me show you some creative solutions.
Get Ready for Hiking Season
As the weather gets warmer, it is great to hike the forest trails again! Hiking allows us to be active while enjoying the many beautiful parks that Vancouver Island has to offer. With the uneven terrain and changing elevation, appropriate footwear and gait mechanics are most important to avoid injury. Before starting your springtime activities, visit your local pedorthist for a biomechanical assessment to ensure you are best prepared for an adventurous season. Custom foot orthotics, compression socks, braces, and walking poles are all tools that may support your days of hiking. Book an assessment today!

Words to Live By
“Life is a journey, and self-care is the map that guides you to the most beautiful destinations within yourself. Prioritize your well-being and enjoy the scenic route.” – Keith Macpherson
Remove Blocks with Emotion Code
Blocks with money, wealth and abundance aren’t just about mindset – they can also be caused by trapped emotions from your past or even inherited generationally. They may include feelings of fear, anxiety, rejection around failure, or shame or even ancestral patterns of hopelessness and struggle. By using the Emotion Code, these specific emotional energies can be identified and released from your body. By clearing and releasing these blocks at the root, it becomes easier to feel worthy of abundance, take inspired action, allow more prosperity to flow freely, and to truly go from “Stuck to Unstoppable”.
Hearing Loss and Balance
Hearing loss is one of several factors that can cause falls. Individuals who have even a mild degree of hearing loss are three times as likely to experience accidental falls. Studies have shown that wearing hearing aids improves balance compared to an individual who does not wear hearing aids but who has hearing loss. There are three major ideas for why hearing loss can affect our balance: 1) hearing loss causes less awareness of our environment, which means less awareness of people or activities around us; 2) hearing loss decreases spatial awareness, which makes it harder to know where you are compared to your surroundings; and 3) hearing loss uses more brain energy, which means there is less energy for balance.
