🌲 Melt the stress. Move without pain. Breathe easier again. 🌲

If your body has been yelling at you lately — tight shoulders, tension headaches, low-back aches, restless sleep — our RMT team at ReBalance has magic hands for that.

Massage isn’t just “a treat.”
It helps your body switch out of fight-or-flight, calms the nervous system, and lets your muscles finally stop guarding and start healing.

Our therapists can help with:
• That neck you keep stretching but it never lets go
• Winter-stress clenching (you know the one)
• Injury flare-ups and old scar tissue getting bossy
• Anxiety sitting in your ribs like it pays rent
• Headaches that show up exactly when you don’t have time 🙃

We use techniques that feel good and actually change how you move — myofascial release, deep tissue (as needed), trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, joint mobilization… whatever your body calls for.

You deserve to feel like yourself again.
And we have openings this week with Tess Ahern, RMT. Come see what your body can do when it gets a little support.

Take a Breath. Slow Down. Re-Charge.

The holiday season can be magical… and also overwhelming. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is the time to restore the Kidney system — the root of your energy, resilience, and ability to handle stress.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine help:
• Calm the nervous system
• Improve sleep and reduce anxious tension
• Support adrenal and Kidney Qi during winter
• Release that “wired but tired” feeling
• Strengthen immunity in the colder months

Just like nature, we’re meant to hibernate a little: turning inward, resting more, and conserving what nourishes us so we can emerge into spring renewed.

Let’s help your system reconnect with that natural rhythm.

Appointments available Mondays and Tuesdays with Dr. Amanda Tubman, D.TCM, R.Ac at ReBALANCE — Nelson’s Wellness Collective.

Book online: rebalancenelson.janeapp.com

Wishing you warmth, calm, and balance this holiday season.

Yesterday, I officially completed my Doctoral Degree in Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Specialization.

I chose to pursue this doctorate in the United States because it currently offers the highest level of education available in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In British Columbia, we have a Diploma in Doctor of Chinese Medicine, but not yet a formal doctoral program. One day, I hope to help change that.

This milestone feels like the capstone to more than two decades of clinical experiences: years that were also filled with additional studies in osteopathy and countless other modalities. And knowing me… who knows what I’ll study next!

For today, though, I’m simply elated. Grateful.
Reaching the highest educational standard in my field is something I dreamed of many years ago, and I’m honored to finally stand here, as Dr.Monica 😄

Onward and upward.
Here’s to lifelong learning, meaningful work, and the patients who inspire me every single day.

Music & Medicine ~ A Shared Origin

In ancient China, healing wasn’t just about herbs and needles… it was also about harmony.
One of the earliest ideas in our medicine is that music has the power to balance the soul, to soothe what words cannot reach, to mend what touch cannot fix.

I love this reminder that the Chinese character for medicine traces its roots back to the character for music.
Healing was never meant to be only physical: it was always meant to be artful, rhythmic, and deeply human.

Whether we use herbs, acupuncture, movement, breath, or sound, healing is the act of bringing the body back into harmony.
Medicine is anything that restores resonance.

May we all remember to invite more music, more stillness, and more beauty into our healing journeys.

🍂 Rebalance this Fall with Chinese Medicine

Autumn is the season of letting go — in nature, the trees release their leaves so that life can be renewed. In Chinese medicine, fall is linked with the Lung and Large Intestine, the organs of breath and release.

Did you know?
When the lungs are strong, not only do we resist seasonal illness more easily, but our ability to process grief and emotional heaviness also improves.

This season is a chance to:
• Strengthen your breath
• Ease strain carried from summer adventures
• Build resilience for the cold months ahead
• Step into winter with clarity and calm

Relief looks different for everyone — but balance is always possible.

Nelson, BC | Book with Amanda on Mondays and Tuesdays at Rebalance!

In the rawness of the wilderness, there are no illusions: only truths revealed through silence, patience, and vulnerability. Hunting becomes a mirror of Chinese medicine’s core philosophy: that life is a delicate balance of yin and yang, where destruction and creation flow seamlessly. To hunt with respect is to acknowledge the sacred cycle. Death fueling life, and life nourishing death. In confronting our primal selves, we recognize that we are not separate from nature’s unyielding rhythm, but an integral part of its ever-changing harmony. The greatest truth lies not in the kill, but in the humility to honor the interconnected dance of life and death, for only in balance can true harmony be found.

It was a pleasure to attend my student’s graduation ceremony this morning.

Today, we celebrate not only your achievements, but the perseverance, resilience, and heart that carried you here. Like the steady flow of Qi through the meridians, your journey has not always been smooth. Our school moved locations, we endured changes and challenges, yet you adapted, transformed, and grew stronger with every step.

In Chinese medicine, healing comes from harmony. You have learned to harmonize yin and yang within yourselves: balancing long nights of study with moments of rest, overcoming uncertainty with courage, and turning struggle into triumph. Just as each needle finds its point with precision, each of you has found your place in this calling.

May you go forth as healers, carrying forward the wisdom of our medicine, restoring balance in a world that deeply needs it.

I am so proud of you each of you, and I cannot wait to see the ways you will bring light, healing, and harmony into the lives of others.

Congratulations, Graduates of Kootenay Columbia College 🎉
