This potent mix not only restores minerals but also stimulates soil biology, making nutrients more accessible to plants. Give your garden the organic boost it deserves for healthier, more resilient crops.

BodyTalk is Self-Care

Your body knows you better than anyone else. BodyTalk has the ability to get Yes/No feedback from the intelligence within you. The information gathered assists with communication and connection within. The BodyTalk system has a roadmap to lead the practitioner to the priority. Genetics, past events, emotions, energy systems, body parts and environment are all on this roadmap protocol chart. Even old beliefs may be contributing to the current unpleasant experiences within you. Specific techniques highlighted in treatment include tapping the information into your nervous system. Once aware, changes can be made.

Boost Self-Care with Hypnotherapy

When stress, anxiety, or old habits weigh you down, hypnotherapy can help you reconnect with your inner calm. Through guided relaxation and focused attention, hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious mind to release mental blocks, reduce tension, and promote healthier habits. Whether you’re struggling with sleep, self-confidence, or emotional balance, this gentle, natural therapy supports deeper healing from within. By making time for self-care and exploring tools like hypnotherapy, you can restore balance, boost well-being, and feel more in control of your health—one mindful breath at a time.

Rolling into Better Health

Rollators aren’t just mobility aids—they are the key to a healthier lifestyle. By providing stability and reducing the risk of falls, rollators encourage safe, consistent movement. Whether it’s a walk to the mailbox or a stroll through the park, staying active can improve heart health, strengthen muscles, and support joint flexibility. Regular physical activity also boosts mood, sharpens the mind, and helps manage conditions like arthritis or high blood pressure. With the added comfort of a seat and storage, rollators turn exercise into an easy, enjoyable part of everyday life. Visit us at 2346 Millar Avenue to enjoy greater independence with every step!

Stay Social, Support Your Hearing Health

Did you know that untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation and even cognitive decline? Staying connected with friends and loved ones plays a vital role in your overall well-being.

A simple hearing test can help you take the first step toward better communication and improved quality of life. Modern hearing solutions are discreet, comfortable, and effective. Don’t miss out on life’s important moments—stay social and keep your hearing health in check!

More Fun Than a Treadmill: Try Dancing

Let’s be honest — dancing is way more fun than a treadmill workout or lifting weights. It’s a fantastic way to stay physically active, while also giving your brain a boost. Learning to lead or follow in partner dances challenges coordination, focus, and memory. Best of all, it pulls you away from screens and into real-life social interaction. Interested in giving it a try? Just search “UofSBDC” for the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club. With six decades of experience, they offer affordable, well-structured dance seasons. Dance for fun, fitness, and friendship—your mind and body will thank you!

Prioritize Inner Peace: A Self-Care Reminder

July 24 marks International Self-Care Day—a perfect time to reflect on how you care for your emotional well-being. True self-care goes beyond bubble baths and spa days. It’s also about setting healthy boundaries, nurturing relationships, and seeking support when life feels overwhelming. As a counsellor and mediator, I encourage you to take inventory of your mental health. Are you bottling up emotions or avoiding conflict? Talking to a professional can provide clarity, tools, and healing. Remember, prioritizing your peace isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Let this Self-Care Day be your starting point toward a healthier, more balanced you.
