KūRated Care Collaborative

KūRated Care Collaborative We believe an educated woman is armed and dangerous (in all the right ways). We are plain speaking h Kūrator's Creed:

The will to act is enough. Breath deeply.

Expect the need to do things differently if the status quo isn’t working for you. Understand that KūRATED living looks different for everyone. Recognize we all need something a little different in order to be healthy. Sleep isn’t one of them. Sleep - dream - wake up - move mountains. Learn to say Hell Yes to the things that make you rise up, shake you, leave you awe struck and life drunk and then share them. The No’s will follow naturally. Be strategic - life’s an experiment but remain open to serendipity; the best things in life are rarely planned. Ensure your gallery tells your story. If you don’t like what you’re seeing, start over. Do it now. Breath in life’s perfect moments. Your cellphone may be able to capture them but it sure as hell won’t remember you when you’re gone. Hug people hello. Go outside. Get dirty. When the world disappoints you, immerse yourself in nature. Grow something. Grow someone don’t shrink them based on your own insecurities. See the pain, feel it, thank it but don’t subscribe to the struggle. Allow yourself to be moved. Listen to your inner child. Play daily. See potential and abundance where others choose to see dis-ease and hardship. Be a breathless optimist. Invest in you first - the village will follow. Serve others but don’t live life through them. Give credit. Accept credit. Be a leader in parts of your life, follow in others. Revisit the rules you set for yourself often. Press pause. Listen to your bodies wisdom. Share good meals with good friends. The connections you build will keep you feeling full long after the meal is over. Expect your people to be fierce with their time, but generous with their heart. Do the same. Move your body; feed your brain. Respect the science. Trust century old knowledge. Failure is only failure when it doesn’t move you forward. Laugh at yourself, if you can’t laugh at yourself, someone else will gladly do it for you. Own the possibility and responsibility that lies in consciously choosing your behaviour from this moment forward. Give yourself permission to thrive. KūRATED living isn’t about a pristine house full with the smell of gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, home baked bread, white pants and puppies that don’t p*e in the middle of the kitchen floor. It’s not a place at which you arrive. It’s living life - awake. It’s an acknowledgement that progress trumps perfection and community is king. So long as each of us is making the moment to moment choices necessary to move us in the direction of health and happiness, we’re leaving our families, our communities and the world a better place than we found it. Your visions and values, food and friendships, sweat and tears give breath to meaning and magic, intention and impact. Choose consciously. Get KūRATED.

Boundary Babe, It's Time to Get Real 🚀

Let's get straight, setting boundaries in relationships can be tough, but tbh, it's game-changing. You're not a doormat, and it's time to stop letting people walk all over you 😤. Healthy boundaries are the key to keeping your relationships healthy, happy, and hot 🔥.

So, what are boundaries, really? They're the limits you set to protect your time, energy, and emotions. Think of them like a fence around your garden – they keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out 🌳.

Signs You're Lacking Boundaries:
- You're people-pleasing like it's a Olympic sport 🏋️‍♀️
- You feel drained, resentful, or anxious in your relationships 😩
- You're constantly saying "yes" when you mean "no" 🙅‍♀️
- You're letting others dictate your emotions and mood 😒

Therapy Can Help 🤝
Setting boundaries isn't always easy, especially if you're used to putting others first. A therapist can support you in:
- Identifying your limits and needs
- Communicating assertively (without being aggressive or passive)
- Building confidence in your relationships
- Developing a self-care routine that nourishes your mind, body, and soul

Ready to Set Your Boundaries? 💪
1. Get clear on your values and priorities
2. Identify your non-negotiables
3. Practice saying "no" (it's okay to start small!)
4. Communicate your boundaries clearly and respectfully
5. Prioritize self-care (you're worth it!)

Take the First Step 🚀
If you're ready to build healthier relationships and prioritize your own needs, therapy can be a game-changer. Let's work together to create a more balanced, loving, and respectful you 💕.
Book your appointment today and start setting those boundaries like a boss! 💼

Vulnerability can feel like a weakness, but it's actually a superpower . Brené Brown says, "Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection, creativity, and change."
In therapy, vulnerability is where the magic happens . It's about being open, honest, and willing to take risks – even when it's uncomfortable.
How therapy supports vulnerability:
Safe space to explore emotions without judgment
Tools to navigate uncertainty and discomfort
Support in building trust and connection with others
Embracing vulnerability can lead to:
Deeper connections with others
Greater self-awareness and self-acceptance
More resilience in the face of challenges
Want to explore vulnerability in a safe space? Therapy can help. Link in bio to connect with one of our team members.

The Vagus Nerve: Unsung Hero of Relaxation
Let’s talk about the vagus nerve! 

This incredible nerve regulates our body’s relaxation response, influencing heart rate, digestion, and stress response. When it’s working well, we feel calm and grounded. But what happens when it’s not?

Symptoms of an upregulated vagus nerve:
- Feeling anxious or on edge
- Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
- Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, etc.)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
- Muscle tension or pain

The physical body can upregulate or downregulate the vagus nerve:
* Poor posture can compress the vagus nerve, leading to increased stress and anxiety
* Shallow breathing can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, making us feel more alert and anxious
* Lack of exercise or movement can disrupt vagus nerve function, leading to decreased relaxation and increased stress
* Stress and trauma can also impact vagus nerve function, leading to chronic anxiety and other symptoms

So, how can Athletic Therapist Rileigh help? 

As an Athletic Therapist, Rileigh can help you identify and address underlying physical patterns contributing to vagus nerve dysregulation. Through gentle manual therapy, breathwork, and movement strategies, Rileigh can help:
* Release physical tension and promote relaxation
* Improve breathing patterns and reduce stress
* Enhance vagal tone and resilience
* Support overall nervous system balance and well-being

If you’re experiencing symptoms like these, don’t hesitate to reach out. Rileigh is here to help you regulate your vagus nerve and find calm, balance, and vitality. 

Book a session with Rileigh today and start feeling more grounded and relaxed! 📆

What Does Your Sleep Say About Your Metabolism? |

Struggle to fall asleep at night?
This may be a sign of elevated cortisol which can throw off your circadian rhythm and disrupt fat loss.

Wake up between 12-1? 1-2? 2-3? 3-4? 4-5? Etc…
The specific periods in which you wake can give us as Naturopathic Doctors lots of insights into what’s going on metabolically. If you wake between 2-4am for example we can check in on blood sugar instabilities that might be leading to overnight crashes that lead your body to release adrenaline that results in your waking and yes - sabotages your metabolism.

Are you sleeping but waking up feeling unrefreshed?
This can be due to several things including obstructive (anatomical) issues but often also extends down to the cellular level where repair and recovery isn’t happening adequately on a micro level. If your mitochondria are underperforming you are on a surefire trajectory to metabolic and hormonal imbalances.

Low energy but can’t rest? Sleep deprivation raised gherkin (your hunger hormone) and lowers leptin (the hormone that makes you feel full). This makes reading your hungry and “fullness” cues hard to read and unreliable which can be extremely frustrating especially when you don’t realize it’s happening or what you can do to support yourself through it!

We cover all of this and MUCH more in our online program “Master Your Metabolism” that has its second launch in January 2026. If you have tried it all and want a different approach to weight loss that really comes from a place of understanding your body, learning how to fuel it and read it’s cues this is for you. We have 12 modules of educational content to give you all the information you need and tangible tools to move you forward on your journey to metabolic mastery. Our NDs guide the program, offer monthly office hours to address questions and the program encourages 3 1:1 visits that allow you to completely customize the program with the guidance of a Naturopathic Doctor.

DM with your email address and we’ll add you to our waitlist! Spots for the program are limited!
