The Kyani Story

The late summer months in Alaska are breathtaking, with up to 22 hours of daylight illuminating the landscape as animals prepare for the harsh winter ahead. This time of year also brings something else unique—the harvest of the remarkable Wild Alaskan Blueberry. Most fruits and vegetable plants would quickly wither and die in Alaska’s long, frigid winters. But the Wild Alaskan Blueberry isn’t just any ordinary fruit. It has evolved to protect itself from the brutality of the elements with a rich-colored pigment in its skin called anthocyanin. This phytochemical is the source of the Wild Alaskan Blueberry’s antioxidant prowess, boasting over 5 times the potency of the common blueberry.

Another remarkable adaptation found in nature begins with a simple Swiss apple first cultivated hundreds of years ago. Remaining fresh far longer than other varieties, the Uttwiler Spätlauber was prized for its longevity. The key to resistance to decay is the naturally occurring botanicals found in the skin of the fruit. These botanicals protect the fruit from oxidative stress and inflammation brought on by exposure to UV rays, and also act to reverse the effects of this photoaging.

Not only does Kyäni draw inspiration from nature for its products, but those powerful ingredients are emblematic of Kyäni’s culture and tenacity. Kyäni’s founding families began with small businesses that, like an apple or blueberry, might have been easy to overlook. But with hard work and innovation, the Hansens and Taylors achieved enormous business success in a multitude of industries. After learning how these natural sources of wellness can positively impact health, the families joined together to form Kyäni. Today, Kyäni’s powerful products make a difference in the lives of millions of people throughout the world.

Revolution Rehab

Revolution Rehab is a collective of physical rehab specialists supporting a one-on-one approach! Through treatment and education we create independent, functional and pain-free clientele!

When you come in for the first time, any of our therapists will take the time to look and assess an injury or cause of pain. After the initial assessment, the therapist will either continue to work with you or, if they feel you’ll have better results with someone else, they’ll refer you over to another Revolution Therapist! Sometimes we refer clients to therapists, physicians and specialists outside of Revolution if we think you will have better results with them!

Your health comes first, because unlike repairing a car, you only get one body!

We offer the following services:

  • Athletic Therapy: Athletic Therapists use movement or athletics as their main assessment & rehab tool. They work with a healthy population who strive to move and take an active role in the rehab process!
  • Massage Therapy: Massage Therapists use hands-on techniques to treat pain by addressing structural imbalances caused by muscle tension. They work with people of all ages and walks of life!
  • Physiotherapy: Physiotherapists use assessment and treatment techniques to address the body as a whole, finding the cause of pain. They target movement and postural imbalances through education, individual exercise & treatment tools within a relaxed atmosphere.
  • Reiki: Reiki Practitioners help manipulate the energy circuits in the physical body to promote balance & facilitate healing. Give Reiki a try and find your balance!

REVOLUTION ALSO OFFERS VARIOUS FITNESS AND WELLNESS CLASSES & TRAINING!

We believe in using an evidence based approach to help our clients take control of their own recovery and learn how to prevent future injury. We love to play in our Comox Valley backyard and want you to get back to doing what you love too.Initial Assessment:

  • One-on-one, private treatment room

Injury Prevention Screening – what to expect?(can be claimed as ‘physiotherapy’ under extended health plans)
Why wait until you have an injury? We believe prevention is better than cure. The purpose of a screen is to highlight inefficiencies which could put a person at risk of injury. It can also be a useful tool for improving general physical health and performance in sport. Anyone can receive a screening assessment.

  • Includes a comprehensive history
  • Using standardized protocols, each area of the body will be screened for:
    • Mobility
    • Stability
    • Proprioception
    • Movement control
  • This helps us to profile you and create an individualized program

If you want to know more about how injury prevention screening could help you please give us a call (250-871-7177) and we would be happy to discuss your individual requirements & advise the best course of action for you.

Co-Creational Self-Healing

 

 

CO-CREATIONAL SELF-HEALING began many years ago as ‘Clear Choices For You’ in Calgary, Alberta.  In 2016, it became Co-Creational Self-Healing to better reflect the direction toward providing treatments, tools and techniques to help a person ‘help themselves’ on their road to better health.

 

Its founder, Barb Timmer, is a Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist, a Reiki Master/Teacher of more than 15 years and a Certified Spring Forest Qigong Practice Group Leader.  She moved to the Comox Valley in 2018 and now practices out of the beautiful new offices at Nourish Wellness in Comox.

 

WE ARE ALL ENERGY

Far too often, we only consider the physical aspect of ourselves when we are experiencing discomfort or stress in our bodies, discomfort like unexplained headaches/migraines, difficulty sleeping, overwhelm, panic or aches/pains that have no apparent physical ‘cause’.  We forget that we are body, mind and spirit and that we need to care for all three in order to be completely well, vibrant and operating at peak efficiency.

We are all made of energy and that energy is flowing through us and around us at all times.  When it is flowing freely, we have good health.  However, it can become blocked from stress, illness, trauma & injury.  Even our own thoughts & emotions can block our energy causing and adding to all kinds of unexplained symptoms.

Co-Creational Self-Healing offers deeply relaxing, intuitive therapies and empowering educational classes and workshops that help support a more balanced, energetic flow of energy throughout your body.

Matthew’s Health Consulting

Our story

Founded in 2008, doTERRA was built on the mission of sharing therapeutic-grade essential oils with the world. Having seen for themselves the incredible benefits that can be had from using these precious resources, a group of health-care and business professionals set out to make this mission a reality. They formed a company and named it doTERRA, a Latin derivative meaning “Gift of the Earth.”

 

Facts

doTERRA is the world leader in sourcing, testing, manufacturing, and distributing CPTG® essential oils through a global network of more than five million customers. doTERRA sets the standard for essential oils by providing to its customers the most tested and most trusted oils and having developed the expertise and commitment required to derive these unique oils directly from the best sources in the world. In addition to a premium line of single-plant extracts and proprietary essential oil blends, the company offers oil-infused personal care and spa products, dietary supplements and healthy living products for the home.

 

What is an Essential Oil?

If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. Essential oils give plants their distinctive smells, essential oils protect plants and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and their beautiful fragrance, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices.

How Do I Use Essential Oils?

Essential oils are used for a very wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends in one of three methods:

Aromatic

Certain essential oils, when diffused, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also cleanse and purify the air of unwanted odors.

Topical

Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.

Internal

Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements for targeted wellness.

Essential oils are both exciting and promising when it comes to taking care of your own and your family’s health. Whether you’re applying essential oils topically, enjoying the aromatic benefits through diffusing, or taking essential oils internally, the positive effects of essential oils are boundless.

That’s why you’ll want to ensure that the essential oils you are using are capable of delivering on their promise. You’ll want to make sure that you are choosing essential oils for their potency and their purity.
