Microneedling has one of those origin stories that proves skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. Sometimes the body just needs the right kind of nudge.

Why SkinPen:

✨ It stimulates collagen in a way that works with your biology, not against it.
✨ It treats texture, scarring, fine lines, and overall skin quality without heat or chemicals.
✨ When it’s done with a medical-grade device like SkinPen, you get precision, safety, and consistent results every single time.

Microneedling has come a long way since those early “let’s try this and see what happens” days, and the technology behind SkinPen is a perfect example of how far we’ve levelled up in skin science and we are so proud to offer it at our clinic.

If you’ve been curious about improving texture, boosting collagen, or supporting long-term skin health… this might just be your sign.

Have you ever felt worse before feeling better? 👇🏼👇🏼

You may have experienced what is known as the ‘Herxheimer Response,’ often referred to as a healing crisis.

This occurs when the body begins to detoxify or clear out pathogens and releases more waste products or toxins than it can eliminate efficiently. The temporary buildup can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, headache, brain fog, irritability, body aches, or skin breakouts.

While this can absolutely feel discouraging, it’s not necessarily a sign that something is wrong, but rather an indication that your body is actively trying to heal and rebalance. The key is to support the process rather than push through it.

Ways to help minimize or avoid a Herx response:

- Start slowly with detox or cleansing products
- Stay well hydrated to support elimination
- Prioritize rest and gentle movement
- Support drainage pathways through colon hydrotherapy, sauna, lymphatic treatments
- Eat nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods
- Work with a practitioner that can help guide you through the process safely

Healing doesn’t always move in a straight line. With the right support, your body can release and repair at its own natural pace.

We’re living in an incredible time where science is finally beginning to explore female health in greater depth — uncovering how profoundly the gut influences our hormones, mood, energy,overall well-being.

Supporting gut health through mindful nutrition, hydration, and regular colon hydrotherapy helps create the conditions for balanced hormones, clearer skin, lighter moods, and a more vibrant sense of wellbeing.

It all comes back to the gut — the foundation of our health and hormonal balance.

We are always here if you have any questions!

Melasma is a very common skin condition that appears as dark, uneven patches of pigmentation, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.

It’s triggered by factors like sun exposure, hormones, heat, and even genetics.

Because melasma lives deep in the skin, it can be stubborn and tends to return if not managed carefully.

SkinPen microneedling is a safe, non-heat-based treatment that can help improve melasma by:
 • Stimulating skin renewal and repair • Encouraging a more even skin tone
•Enhancing the absorption of brightening serums • Supporting collagen production without added heat or trauma

Best results usually come from a series of sessions, paired with medical-grade skincare and daily sun protection.

If you’ve been struggling with melasma, SkinPen may be a gentle but effective option to help restore balance to your skin.

Have you ever thought about syncing a parasite cleanse with the moon cycle? 🌙

Each phase of the moon offers a natural rhythm you can align with to make the process more intentional and effective.

Here’s how it works:

• Start preparatory work at the new moon (intent + gentle prep),
• Build toward an intensification around the full moon (peak purge/strongest interventions),
• Use the waning moon for elimination, rest, and rebuilding,
• Use the waxing moon to strengthen and nourish as the body recovers.

This cycle blends traditional wisdom with evidence-based practices for supporting digestion, immunity, and gut health.

Note: Always check with a healthcare practitioner before starting herbs or supplements. This information is for educational purposes only.

* People who have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) should only use Bifido bacteria OR sacharomyces boulardi strains of probiotics.

Meet Rachel, our newest natural nurse!

A little bit about her:

Where were you born?
Nanaimo

How many animals do you have?
A cat, Hobo, just lost my dog turbo 🥲

Fun fact :
I met Chantal on my first day of nursing school, we clicked intstantly and were in separable throughout our program. We helped each other get through it 🤪

Favourite thing to do when you’re not cleaning out colons?
Get to know my patients! Tell me the juicy details, what’s said in the room, stays in the room.

More about Rachel:

Rachel is born and raised in Nanaimo, having spent the last 13 years in healthcare, working in geriatrics, leadership, acute care including rural nursing and industrial nursing in a remote mining camp. Rachel has expanded her LPN scope by taking several courses and being mentored by RNs and physicians in Northern BC. Throughout her career in nursing Rachel has seen first hand how holistic and naturopathic care can work in conjunction with modern medicine for those people with chronic diseases as well as various prognosis. Rachel has also seen first hand how taking early and preventative steps to improve individual health through homeopathic care and nutrition can improve overall quality of life. Rachel is looking forward to supporting our growing practice and also hopes to gain her own patients through her confidential, caring and light hearted approach.

Let’s give her a warm welcome in the comments 🥰
