Today is National Wear Red Day ❤️
A day dedicated to women’s heart health.

Many women I see at my Vancouver clinic are carrying heart strain without realizing it. You can see it through rounded shoulders, shallow breathing, jaw tension. These can appear from long hours at a desk.

Osteopathy gently supports posture, breathing mechanics and circulation. It helps reduce physical stress that quietly builds in your body over time.

If your body has been holding tension for years, it may be time for support.

Today is World Cancer Day 🎗️

A reminder that prevention and long-term health are shaped by the care we give our bodies every day.

Chronic stress, unresolved pain, restricted movement, and poor circulation all place ongoing strain on the body. While no single therapy prevents illness, supporting your body’s ability to move, regulate, and adapt is an important part of overall wellness.

At my Vancouver clinic, I don't just focus on treating your symptoms when they appear. I work on restoring your musculoskeletal, nervous and circulatory systems to bring balance to your entire body.

February is Heart Health Month ❤️
And heart health is about more than just exercise.

Here in Vancouver, winter often means longer hours sitting, less movement, and more tension held in the body. Over time, posture strain, restricted breathing, and chronic muscle tension can affect circulation and overall wellbeing.

At Thuja Wellness, osteopathy supports your body as a whole. It helps you restore movement, improves your posture, and helps to reduce the impact of physical stress so your systems can work more efficiently.

Stress doesn’t just live in the mind.
It often shows up in the body as tension, pain, fatigue, or a nervous system that never fully switches off.

This is why many women feel “stuck,” even when life looks calm on the outside.

This month I wrote a new blog exploring:
🟡 How stress and trauma can be stored in the body
🟡 Why healing sometimes needs to happen through the nervous system
🟡 What OsteoEmotive Therapy is and who it can support

If you’re curious about gentle, trauma-informed, body-led care, this is a good place to start.

Old injuries don’t just “go away”, they settle quietly into the body. And when winter arrives, they often speak up again.

Cold weather can tighten muscles, reduce circulation, and trigger inflammation around old injury sites. The result? Soreness, stiffness, and that familiar ache that just won’t leave.

Osteopathy helps by:
🌀 Improving blood flow to damaged tissue
💆‍♀️ Releasing tension and fascial restrictions
💛 Rebalancing the nervous system to reduce pain

Let’s work together to support deep, lasting healing, not just temporary relief.

Winter detox? You don’t need a cleanse, you need circulation, warmth, and rest.

Here’s what actually supports detox this season:
💧 Staying hydrated (even when you don’t feel thirsty)
🧘‍♀️ Gentle movement to boost circulation
🌀 Osteopathy to support lymphatic drainage and organ mobility
🥣 Eating warm, whole foods that support digestion

Detox isn’t about depriving your body, it’s about helping it do what it already knows how to do.
