Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our family to yours! Near and far, zoom away! We want to thank you for your patronage and trust in us over this crazy, crazy Covid year. Dr. Jen looks forward to taking care of everyone, safely, masked and sanitized, in 2021!

I am on holiday this week but please note, Chiropractors and other regulated health professionals are allowed to REMAIN OPEN during the province wide shutdown. This is due to our vigilance in screening, use of PPE, sanitation and physical distancing. I will return to the office on Monday, December 28 dedicated to taking care of your health in a safe manner. Evan, Ben and I wish you all a safe, happy Christmas this year with those in your household. (Ps.. this means no driving around the province AND more stuffing for me! Win win!)

Life is busy. Life is always busy. To fit in exercise you just have to make the time. Since this pandemic started physical activity has dropped drastically. This is how Dr. Jen gets it done. Naptime rides. Yes there is laundry to do and a bathroom to clean but I also have to move. If I am not keeping myself healthy, how do I care for and set a healthy example for my son? #getmoving #naptimerides #moveitorloseit... #chiropractic See more

Happy Canada Day!!

Dr. Jen had to take an unexpected day out of the office today. Someone very important needed supervision so you may find her in your nearest sprinkler.... We apologize for the inconvenience and want to wish everyone a Happy Canada Day on Wednesday! Dr. Jen will be back in action on THURSDAY and FRIDAY this week. Please email [email protected] for an appointment.

Happy Fathers Day to all our Dads today! We wish you a fun, bbqd infused day with all the love!!

Golf is back! And because it is one of the ONLY things to do everyone seems to be picking up the clubs. Please see some Stretches to help you out- especially if the last time you hit the link the year started with 19....

We are requiring that anyone entering our clinic wear a non-medical face mask as social distancing of 2 meters is not possible when Dr. Jen is performing adjustments. Please review the WHO "dos" and "dont" with respect to cloth masks and surgical masks. PRO TIPS: ... 1) ALWAYS cover both nose and mouth. Covering just the mouth renders your mask wearing useless. 2) Wash hands. Put mask on. Wash hands. Take off mask. DO NOT touch or adjust mask once on!! 3) Surgical masks are great. They have a sweet little wire across the top. Wash hands. Put over nose and mouth. Loop behind ears then COMPRESS wire over nose. Viola! Now it wont move around! Please remember surgical Masks are ONE TIME use. See more

New week, new (sensible) shoes! Dr. Jen has had a busy, successful start to Week 2 of a fully reopened practice! We look forward to seeing all our patients but please be patience with us. We are working to exceed all of our COVID-19 guidelines and so more time is needed to physically space out patient appointments and clean every surface! Please drop us an email at [email protected] to schedule your Adjustment!

We are very lucky in our area to have several fantastic Midwife groups including Midwives of York Region with the amazing Edie pictured here with Dr. Jen and Ben at his 2 week check up!T Think Midwifery if you are expecting!... .

"Life isnt about waiting for the storm to pass...Its about learning to dance in the rain. " Vivian Green

Happy Monday! (Yes...I double checked. Its a Monday). I wanted to thank an amazing patient for gifting me this beautiful handmade mask!!! So thoughtful! Lets all do something nice for someone today! #flatteningthecurve #chiropractic #healthyandhappy

Today Dr. Jen was in the office working with urgent/emergency patients. We are hopeful, as Ontario begins to reopen sometime in May we will be able to help more and more of you. In the meantime keep up the excellent social distancing work!! #inittogether #chiropractic

So today lets talk about mental health. This lockdown is hard. Necessary. Saving lives. Responsible. But hard. We are social beings and this is a tough time. So what are you doing to help your mental health? Here are Dr. Jens top 3 mental health tips: 3) Get outside. Breath fresh air. Its brisk right now, yes, but it is certainly not winter! If my 2 year old can be outside for 2 hours this morning so can you.... 2) MOVE. Movement produces endorphins that enhance mood (that photo is my run yesterday.. 7 km!!! Whoot baby I am back!!) 1) Speak to your/a mental health professional. This is so important always and ESPECIALLY now. They are all still operating and most are working contactless through Zoom or something like that. Do it. Do it now. I did this week and it helped immensely. Need a referral? Ask! Keep Well. MIND. BODY. SOUL. #chiropractorscare

Happy Physically Distant Earth Day! I hope everyone got outside for some fresh, brisk air and sunshine today. We are all doing GREAT at flattening the curve!!! Ontario is on track for best case scenario so please keep up the good work and #stayhome! If we all work together on this life can return to normal quicker!! #chiropractic #healthyfamilies #stayhome #icantwaittohug

PRO TIP: while we are all spending so much time at home WEAR SHOES! Your lower back will fatigue quickly with bare (or socked) feet. By wearing supportive shoes like my "indoor Birks", especially if you have a tiled floor in your kitchen, you can help support your lower back and spine in general! #inthistogether #chiropractic #stayhome... #healthyhometips See more

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, my office remains closed. For the first 8 days I was very stressed and fearful about how this affects all my patients care, their familys health, my familys health, the worlds health. My head could have exploded. Then I decided to not let fear rule my days. I am determined to utilize this time making memories with my son and husband and cherishing little, lost moments. I also decided to move my butt that had been stapled to the couch in a Netfli...x comma. I decided to run every second day rain or shine. Today was run #3. 6 km. Sunshine. Giving other pedestrians a wide (6 foot) birth. Breathing fresh air. Letting go of March 2020. Use this werid, socially isolated time to build memories. Relax and Move. Be safe and healthy. Tell your loved ones you love them and will hug them later. I will be. If you have any emergency, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]. Be well.
