The body speaks in sensation. Sometimes it's too much and we don't want to think about it. That's when I come in handy, as I can help your nerves re-integrate with areas of your body that you'd rather not feel. Massage therapy can help reduce pain, tensions and imbalances in the physical body while your nervous system finally unwinds enough to let you take a more full, relaxed breath. Book your self care session online at www.centuryhealth.ca or treat your loved ones for Valentine's Day. Happy February and midwinter, everyone! See my FB page for location, prices, accessibility, and hours. Please wear a mask for the duration of your appointment and sanitize your hands upon entering and leaving. Thank you.

I love hearing when my clients realize the difference between just exercise and therapeutic exercise. The difference is asking yourself: does this contribute to my issue and make it worse? Sometimes relearning just how to sit, stand, squat or lift can make all the difference. Don't underestimate the importance of form. Let me know if there are particular conditions or exercises you'd like explained in future posts.

When you need a little break from feeling stress, try taking a steady breath in and out. Equal lengths 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ... Equal effort in - out. Let the breath be comfortable and natural. The exhale may lengthen naturally. Stress management is important. Little tools are learned in times of peace for use during those more chaotic moments. Pranayama is the Sanskrit world for breath control. I teach many different breathing techniques to my students/clients depending on their needs. This is the best place to start - steady in, steady out. Samavritti.

If you can't find a time that works for you on the online booking, please message me. I can try to accommodate your holiday schedules.

Your potential is vast, like the sky. Reach. Grow. Ebb and Flow.
