When your body is under constant stress, stuck in fight-or-flight (hello, modern life), your nervous system stays switched on. Over time, that affects your heart rate, blood pressure, inflammation, and how your body functions overall.

What we see every day are women carrying the mental load, managing everyone else’s needs, pushing through exhaustion — without their nervous system ever getting a real break.

And your heart feels that.

This is where our integrated approach makes a real difference.

• Our Certified Clinical Counsellor, Tessa, can work with you on nervous system regulation.

• Our Nurse Practitioner, Colleen, addresses the physical impacts.

• Our Registered Dietitians, Lauren and Kendre can support you with nutrition that reduces inflammation.

• Our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist, Tanya, can help you reconnect with your body.

Because heart health isn’t just about cholesterol and exercise.

It's about how you're living, what you're carrying, and whether your body ever gets to feel safe enough to rest.

Be kind to yourself and your heart ❤️

Many of Tessa’s patients are surprised to learn that they don’t actually need to be perfect to make progress.

Mistakes are a normal part of learning and development. When we expect them, growth feels safer and more sustainable.

Save this for the days perfection feels heavy 🫶

So many people come into healthcare trying to be “easy”.

Easy patients.
The ones who don’t interrupt.
The ones who downplay pain.
The ones who don’t want to seem difficult.

If you’ve ever hesitated because you didn’t want to seem “dramatic”, or “too much” this is your permission to speak up.

Save this for when you start doubting yourself.

Eating Disorder Awareness Week is a reminder that health doesn’t have a “look”.

This week invites us to take a closer look at the belief that thinness equals health, a message often rooted in diet culture, weight stigma, and healthism. These ideas can show up in subtle, everyday ways, like labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” praising certain bodies, or treating weight loss as the main marker of health.

Even when unintended, messages that tie worth, health, or success to body size or food choices can contribute to the development, maintenance, or relapse of eating disorders. They don’t just affect individuals, they shape systems, reinforce stigma, and create barriers to compassionate, equitable care.

This week, we invite you to:
• Question diet culture messages
• Practice body respect
• Share accurate, compassionate information
• Reach out for yourself or for someone you care about

Support is allowed.

If eating feels overwhelming or rigid, Kendre is available when you’re ready.

Self-care is often the little, everyday things.
A hot bath.
Exercise.
A good book.
A show on TV.
Whatever it might be.
Self-care doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just has to happen.

And sometimes, when those don’t feel like enough anymore, self-care means reaching out for support.

A gentle reminder that if support would feel helpful, you can book with Tessa at EmpowerMed when you’re ready.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s a great reminder to stay up to date with your Pap smear.

In Alberta, cervical cancer screening is recommended for anyone with a cervix aged 25–69 who is or has ever been sexually active. A Pap smear is a screening test that looks for early changes in cervical cells before they turn into cancer. Even if you feel well and have no symptoms, screening is still important.

How often do you need a Pap smear? If your results are normal, screening is typically done every 3 years, unless your healthcare provider recommends otherwise. This applies even if you’ve had the HPV vaccine or are no longer sexually active. If you’ve had a hysterectomy or your cervix has been removed, your need for screening may differ.

What to expect at the appointment: A speculum is gently inserted, and a small sample of cells is collected from your cervix. The process is handled carefully, at a pace that’s comfortable for you, and explained step by step so you know exactly what’s happening.

Pap smears at our clinic are provided by a Nurse Practitioner, in a calm, supportive, and judgment-free environment. Once your results are back, the NP will follow up with you to review them and discuss any next steps — you’re never left wondering.

✔️ No referral needed
✔️ Alberta guideline–based screening
✔️ Preventive care that can save lives

📅 Book your Pap smear online today and take care of your health this January.

Just imagine this for a second…

Your health actually moving forward
without changing everything,
without a full lifestyle overhaul,
without burning yourself out.

So many people get stuck in all-or-nothing thinking when it comes to eating well. If it can’t be done perfectly, it can feel easier not to start at all.

But you don’t need a new plan every Monday. You just need tiny adjustments you can repeat in real life.

Start with ONE of these:
drinking a bit more water,
adding more veggies where you can,
or getting to bed a little earlier instead of doom-scrolling.

This is how Kendre, our Registered Dietitian, supports people with healthy eating. No pressure. No perfection. Just realistic nutrition habits that fit your life.

And remember — don’t try to be perfect.
Progress matters more.

👉 Save this for the days when eating well feels like too much.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not just a patient — you’re a person with a story that deserves space.

Helping people feel confident in their food choices never gets old for Lauren, especially when those “aha!” moments happen mid-session.

Have you ever had one in a session that stuck with you?

01/06/2026

Your body always speaks — the question is, are you listening?

Fatigue, mood changes, brain fog, or restless sleep might not be “just age.”

They could be your hormones asking for attention.

Start paying attention — because normal isn’t always optimal.

01/02/2026

This year, we’re big fans of:
✔️ curiosity over pressure
✔️ support over self-blame
✔️ progress that feels realistic

If 2026 includes checking in on your health, we’re here to walk through it with you.

12/30/2025

Before we head into a new year, take a moment to move with intention.
A short walk, a stretch, or a dance break — it all counts.

Just 20 minutes can reset your mood and clear your mind.
And if you bring a friend? Even better. 👯‍♀️

Connection + movement = your nervous system’s favorite duo.
