New to the crew! We’re so excited to announce that Megan Pocock, RMT will be joining our team! A little bit about Megan...... My aim as a massage therapist is to work alongside and empower my patients to achieve their health and wellness goals. Wether you are rehabilitating from an injury or in need of preventative massage treatments my goal is to help you move though life with more ease and freedom. I received my training at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy, in Vernon BC, and upon graduating in 2015 I moved to Campbell River to start my RMT career. After travelling and moving to the Comox Valley a couple years ago I'm excited to be back in Campbell River. My treatments blend myofascial release, deep tissue relaxation, stretching and trigger point work to leave you feeling rested and restored. I have completed courses in craniosacral therapy and myofascial release as well as training to use IASTM tools for increased treatment efficiency. I pursued my 200 hr yoga teacher training and my level 1 Mat Pilates Certification to be able to provide a variety of effective therapeutic exercises to my patients and to teach informative classes. I look forward to seeing you in the clinic, in the yoga studio or out on the trails soaking in the beauty of the west coast forest, beaches and mountains. You can book with Megan now on our site www.formwellness.ca or call Cheryl at 250-286-6063 #rmt #comoxvalley #campbellriver

Restorative + Yoga Nidra with Alicia Borenheim

To our dearest patients and students, With the rapidly progressing pandemic its important that each of us does everything we can to flatten the curve and slow the spread of this virus. Its with heavy hearts and much deliberation that we have decided to temporarily close our doors effective tomorrow.

[email protected] Be well xom Alicia Resilience is our ability to meet with difficult feelings and setbacks, and not only trust in our capacity to adapt and recover from them, but to find something redemptive hidden within adversity. It takes a lot of energy to distance ourselves from pain; not only do we become more vital by entering into relationship with our feelings, but that resilience grows into a place of refuge for others.

To our Form Wellness + Studio community, With the COVID-19 virus in the news, we want to ease your concerns and share the Form Wellness + Studio protocols. Many of our patients present with pregnancy, postpartum, autoimmune illness and immune suppression. In order to keep ourselves and our patients safe we are continuing to follow all Coastal Health standards. In our clinic, all linens are changed between every patient, hands hygiene will continue with industry standard (bef...ore and after each treatment and after handling used linens), door knobs, POS terminals and reception areas are sanitized regularly as well as all common surfaces, including yoga mats. We would like your help in continuing to minimize infection by encouraging you to wash your hands upon entry to the clinic, use tap and card payments instead of cash handling. If you are feeling unwell, or have been instructed to self isolate due to recent travel or exposure to COVID-19 we will be waiving the 24-hour cancellation fee during this time. Stay home, rest and take time to recover. We will keep you posted as we follow direction from our government resources.

When we are stressed our breathing patterns shift, often to a shallow breath in the upper chest, maybe even constricted. When we attune to our breath we have the power to shift those patterns into a mindful attention which resets our nervous system and gently guides the body and mind to safely relax. Physiologically blood pressure lowers, mind quiets, stress hormones are reduced in blood stream, reduced lactic acid in muscles, boosted immune function, and well- you simply fee...l more at ease! Join me for a breath centric practice this evening as we explore the breath in each pose to deepen your relaxation response. Tuesday from 7-830pm Restorative + Yoga Nidra. Untangle, unwind with long held cozy poses supported by lots of props, gentle hands on assists and as always west coast hand picked hot stones to soothe and restore you. Everyone welcome all bodies, all levels, first timers. Dress warm and please arrive 15 minutes early to set up props. xom Alicia See more
