By addressing the root causes and supporting the body’s natural healing processes, naturopathic care offers safe, sustainable ways to live more comfortably and actively with arthritis — naturally.

Balancing Energy for Optimal Wellness

Using the “language of health,” the body communicates directly with a BodyTalk Practitioner. This gentle healing system listens to the body’s priorities for improvement, focusing on what can be enhanced rather than what’s wrong. Each session is unique, guiding both client and practitioner to restore communication and balance energy between specific body parts. Often, lymph, nerve, or blood flow is highlighted, with BodyTalk techniques targeting detoxification or clearing blockages. Opening these pathways allows nutrients and energy to flow freely to the area, supporting natural healing. The result is a more harmonious, balanced, and optimally functioning body.

Overcoming Arthritis

With support, a person with arthritis may maintain daily activities and routines for a long time. Allowing even a small amount of regular, ongoing assistance can make a big difference for those living with osteo or rheumatoid arthritis. Some folks may need assistance with activities such as bathing; dressing; grooming; cleaning; cooking; traveling; or transportation. Others may welcome help to enjoy leisure activities or time with friends and family. Whether provided by family or through paid Care Professionals, some timely support will go a long way to improving quality of life for those with arthritis and other chronic conditions.

Mental Health Support Via Conflict Resolution

September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day — a reminder of the importance of compassion, connection, and support. Conflict, whether at home, work, or within ourselves, can be a heavy burden on mental health. As a conflict counsellor and mediator, I help individuals and families navigate challenging conversations, reduce stress, and rebuild healthy communication. By creating a safe space for understanding, we can ease emotional strain and restore hope. Remember: reaching out for help is a sign of strength. Together, we can prevent crisis and foster resilience. You don’t have to face conflict or despair alone — support is here.

Dance Your Way to Better Health

Movement is one of the biggest contributors to good health. Add in mental stimulation and social engagement, and you’ve got a winning combination. Dancing checks all these boxes—it’s physically active, mentally engaging, and socially fun. While weddings and bars offer limited opportunities, Saskatoon is home to clubs like the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club, which hosts classes, workshops, and dance events. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned dancer, you can learn new steps, sharpen coordination, and connect with others. Discover the joy of dancing in a welcoming, supportive environment and move your body in more ways than one!
