A few more changes have been made since our last communication in August 2021 but first we want to make all our patients aware that we will be following the same recommendations as the health care community and masks will remain mandatory upon entering the clinic, to keep all our patients and staff....

Time to rest!

Are you getting your seven or eight hours of sleep a night — yet you still feel exhausted? Here’s why that could be happening, according to physician Saundra Dalton-Smith.

There are tools that can help quell anxious feelings, which can be tough to handle for most of us.

This is a good read on weighted blankets.

Companies are promoting weighted blankets as a means of reducing anxiety and stress and helping people sleep. While evidence on the efficacy of these blankets is scarce, there are few risks in trying them. Weighted blankets and vests are in use by me...

We have weighted blankets! Call the clinic for availability. 902 484-4747.

Dear valued patients,



We want to take a moment to express our gratitude to all our patients that have been so wonderful during the transition of reopening. As with anything new, there are learning curves. Everyone has been so great during this transition and we feel very fortunate to have your support and patience while we continue to make small changes. But first …



We are very pleased to announce that Emmylou McCoy, RMT is going to start back very gently this coming Saturday, July 18th! Very limited appointments to start therefore, clients will have to call the clinic to book. ***Please leave a message on the machine if no answer.***



Here’s what some of the recent changes look like:



Online booking is now open for the following practitioners for in clinic appointments:



Shawn Selfridge, Osteopath

Brenna Lord, RMT

Genie Bright, RMT

Carolyn Lowe, Acupuncturist



Schedule availability can be viewed online but please call to book for the following practitioners

and

Dr Jennifer Carter, ND

Dr. Carter also has a limited number of in-clinic appointments available. Please call the clinic to book, or if you are wondering which type of appointment would be best for you.


A few reminders:

- A mandatory Covid screening survery has to be submitted for in-person appointments only 24 hours prior to your appointment (this has to be done for every appointment you have, therefore if you see multiple practitioners or you have multiple appointments with the same practitioner, it has to be done for each individual appointment). If you are having issues with submitting the survery, please call or email the clinic and we can go over the screening questions with you.
- Please do not enter the clinic if you are presenting any COVID-19 symptoms - they are listed on the door. We suggest calling 811 and rebooking your appointment in 14 days. No charges will apply.
- Please arrive *on time* for your appointment. The self check-in is on the door for your convenience if you are able to use it but not necessary.
- A non-medical mask is required to be worn by all persons entering the clinic (available for a $2 fee if you do not have your own)
- Please sanitize or wash your hands upon entering the clinic.


Supplement orders

Please call or email the clinic to place your order and to make arrangements for payment and pickup. We recommend that you allow extra time as shipping delays have affected our supplies of some products.


Reception hours are Monday - Friday 9am - 4PM

It’s been a month of trying to figure out what shelter in place means, what’s essential and what’s not essential, how to homeschool, and work from home and stay sane. It seems as if we should be settling into a routine, and in some ways, I suspect everyone is. But it’s also been long enough ...

I hope this feels right.

During this time of uncertainty and isolation, David Abram prompts us to turn to the more-than-human planet to empower our empathy for each other.
