It’s a rainy West Kootenay Friday… the kind that makes you want to slow down, breathe deeper, and warm up from the inside out.

If you’re coming in today, the fire is on, the clinic is cozy, and you can settle in for a little pocket of calm before the weekend begins.

Today we remember.
Not just in ceremony, but in how we choose to move through the world.

We remember the bravery and sacrifices made by those who served — and the weight carried by families and generations after.
We remember that peace is something we practice, not something guaranteed.

And while things feel heavy and uncertain just across the border, today is a reminder to hold close what matters here:
Kindness. Community. Taking care of one another. Standing steady.

Canada has always been strongest when we lift together.

Elbows up.
Hearts open.
Canada strong.
Lest we forget. ❤️🍁

If you’ve got little ones home this long weekend (PA Day Monday + Remembrance Day Tuesday), I see you. ☕
Some days feel like a whirlwind — but if you’re still needing to get some body care in, please know my space is kid-friendly.

Your little one is welcome to come hang out in the cozy waiting area — warm fireplace on, books, crayons, soft lighting… it’s a calm space and we make it work. 💛
No stress, no apologies needed.

If your body is asking for a reset, you don’t have to wait.
Just send me a message to find a time — appointments only.

We’ll take care of you and keep the kiddos comfy. 🤍

The snow is up on the mountains and ski season is just around the corner.
This is the time to make sure your body is moving well — before the first full day on the hill.

I focus on improving joint mobility, stability, and muscle activation patterns so your hips, knees, and back work together, not against each other. A few sessions now can help reduce early-season flare ups and support a stronger, smoother start to your ski season.

If you’re feeling tight through your low back, knee tracking has been off, or your hips feel restricted, we can work on correcting those patterns early.

By appointment.
Send a message or book online — we’ll get you ready for the snow.

The clocks turn back tonight. This shift in daylight can disrupt sleep cycles, energy levels, and stress response — especially as we move into shorter, darker days.

Acupuncture is clinically shown to support:
• Sleep quality + circadian rhythm regulation
• Nervous system calming and reduced stress response
• Muscle tension + pain management
• Recovery from injury and overuse
• Hormone and women’s health support

And a reminder: Most extended health benefits expire at the end of the year. If you have acupuncture coverage, now is the time to use it before it’s lost.

Appointments are by scheduling only. Send a message to book your treatment.

🎃✨ Pumpkins carved, costumes ready, candy buckets prepped!
Tonight I’ll be out trick-or-treating with my little Minion 🍌💛 — fingers crossed for no rain for all the littles!

There’s something so magical seeing Halloween through a five-year-old’s eyes…
the excitement, the lights, the laughter, the tiny costumes everywhere 🧡

Wishing all my West Kootenay friends a safe, happy, and fun Halloween! 👻

✨ Pre & Postnatal Support ✨
Your body is doing big, beautiful work — during pregnancy and in the months after birth. It’s common to feel changes in posture, pelvic stability, breath patterns, sleep, and emotional regulation.

Acupuncture and gentle corrective movement can support you through each stage:
• Reducing back, hip, and pelvic pain
• Calming the nervous system + supporting sleep
• Easing nausea and digestive changes
• Improving circulation + swelling
• Supporting recovery and reconnecting to your core and breath postpartum

This is a season of transition — you don’t have to move through it alone.
If you’re needing support, reach out. ✨
By appointment only.

Strength training is one of the most effective ways to support joint stability, bone density, and long-term mobility. But consistent training can also lead to muscle tension, movement imbalances, or delayed recovery.

Acupuncture helps by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing tight or overactive muscles — allowing for better movement patterns and faster recovery between sessions.

For those who lift, run, or train regularly, combining acupuncture with strength work can keep your body performing at its best.
