Great video explaining moral injury ♥️

I would also add that PTSD or rather PTSI (post-traumatic stress injury) lives not only in the brain but the body too. At the core, it is a nervous system injury.

Thanks Christa Bissell for sending this my way!

Challenge Coin #28 & #29 with Operations Supervisor for EHS, Christa Bissell in the town of Slave Lake.

Christa started out in the emergency services in 2017 as an EMR. She then went on to receive her P*P training in 2019, worked for AHS in 2021 to now is an Operations Supervisor with EHS.

Christa is very passionate about the work she does and has an amazing attention to detail to notice when things do not look right. She has a “know how” on how to make improvements that are safe, with a background of coming from the trades as a welder prior to switching careers to the emergency services.

She also has a passion for dogs. During my first visit to Slave Lake and meeting her, I remember seeing many photos and hearing stories of her dogs. I always appreciate her pure joy around dogs and how near and dear to the heart she holds them. Christa has a way of making you feel like you have known her your whole life and is always eager to connect.

Thank you Christa for sharing your passions of the emergency services and in dogs 🐾. And like your quote you shared with the dumpster fire challenge coin - “life is a s**t show and we’re all in it together”.

To hear more of her story, watch previous Instagram video.

💫Happy New Year to Our First Responders

As the year turns, we honour everything you carried - the calls that changed you, the losses that stayed with you, and the quiet wins that may never make the news.

Reflection matters.
Not just on what went right, but on what was hard and what it cost you. Both shaped your growth, your grit, and your humanity.

May the new year bring space to recover, strength to continue, and permission to acknowledge all of the story - not just the strong parts.

Thank you for showing up. Happy New Year 🎉.

Social engagement is not a “soft skill” in the First Responder world - it is an operational necessity.

The ability to co-regulate effectively with colleagues, leadership, and the public directly impacts decision-making under stress, emotional resilience, and long-term retention.

Strong social connection supports nervous system recalibration, reduces cumulative stress load, and builds trust within teams. When responders can stabilize one another in high-pressure moments, performance improves and burnout decreases.

3 ways to create social engagement:

👁️ Eye contact can instantly create connection with team members while responding to a stressful call that signal the nervous system - “I’m here with you, we got this”.

😮‍💨 Taking a micro moment to take a deep breath helps recalibrate the nervous system and supports in co-regulation when connecting with public members - this helps them to feel safe.

🥾 Notice your feet on the earth below you and scan your environment to bring you back into present moment. Looking around with curiosity helps shift the nervous system back into connection.

A sustainable future for First Responders depends not only on equipment and training, but on healthy, regulated humans who are supported by connection - not isolation.

🎄Season’s Greetings!

As a first responder, stress and trauma are part of the job…

But when your body reacts, it’s not a weakness.

Understanding your nervous system shifts the question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What is my body trying to tell me?”

This perspective helps you recognize signals of fatigue, hypervigilance, or shutdown, and respond with awareness instead of judgment. Listening to your nervous system is a form of strength, not a flaw.

Strength isn’t just what you carry into the call.
It’s what you carry through it.

Showing up, adapting under pressure, and continuing to serve despite what you’ve seen - that’s real resilience. Your steadiness matters more than you know.

Stay safe out there, especially over the holidays ♥️

Our Story

Energy healing modalities & meditation groups/workshops.

Different healing modalities can assist people remove stagnant energy in the body that becomes blocked over time. By bringing balance into the physical, emotional, mental & spiritual body will help remove blockages that are holding us back in life from truly living limitless and freely.

Meditation also helps bring balance into our often too busy chaotic lives. It can help improve quality of life, focus and clarity by calming the mind. Meditation helps reduce stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, lack of sleep, physical pain and so much more. It will also increase focus, creativity, motivation and sense of oneness.

Learning both about different healing modalities along with meditation has helped me find balance and calmness back into my life. I believe through self love and awareness we can better navigate the stresses in life so we can be the best version of ourselves and live our full potential.
