With everything going on in the world right now, November 2020 almost slipped right by me, without its proper recognition. Garibaldi Active Wellness is 10 years old this month! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! I am so grateful for all of our past and current patients, and for every single one of the amazing therapists I have had the chance to work with in the past 10 years. I can't wait to see what great things are to come in the next 10!

For anyone interested in learning more about climbing and holistic health! One of our chiros, Sophie Tran, is contributing to the retreat with an injury prevention session.

Are you getting back into running but worried you might get injured? Dr. Sophie Tran has just released her running injury prevention program to help you out! It’s full of running tips, common injuries, and exercises to keep you running stronger. If you need some inspiration for your home training - this is perfect for you! It can be used as a standalone workout and/or as an extra resource to add new exercise ideas into your current training program.

Ready, Set, Go!! Online bookings are now open :) We are excited to welcome you back into our clinic. Thank you for trusting us with your health and wellness, and thank you for your patience.

We are excited to see you June 1st, but things are going to look a little different in our clinic. Firstly, we will be wearing masks, and so will you. The nature of our treatments means that physical distancing is not possible in the treatment room, so for this reason masks will be required at this time. If you have your own, please bring it with you. Our reception area has space for 2 patients while adhering to physical distancing. If there are already 2 people in our recept...ion area when you arrive, please wait outside and your therapist will open the door for you at your appointment time. Please arrive on time for your appointments, and not early or late. Please use the hand sanitiser provided upon entering our clinic. We will no longer be accepting cash, or processing payments in our clinic. All online bookings will require a credit card, and we will process your payment once your treatment is complete. We will still be direct billing to your insurance company if applicable, and the remainder, if any, will be charged to your credit card. Receipts will be emailed, not printed at this time. You will receive via email an additional form regarding symptoms and recent travel when you receive your appointment reminders. This form is mandatory for treatment, and needs to be filled out 24 hours before you come in. If you have not filled out this form, we will call you to ask you to complete it. Online bookings will open up Thursday May 28th. We will have significantly less appointments available initially, to allow for extensive cleaning between patients. Please know we will be doing everything we can to minimise any risk of viral transmission. We look forward to continue to provide you with the highest standards of care. Di, and the rest of the Garibaldi Active Wellness team.

We are excited to announce that Garibaldi Active Wellness will be re-opening Monday June 1st! We will take the next couple of weeks to dial in our return to practice plan, to ensure we are opening the safest way possible, for you and our therapists. Please be patient with us as we figure out all of the details. Our schedules coming back will be very different, and it takes time to perfect this. We will initially have significantly less appointments available, as we need additional time between clients and before and after our shifts to adhere to strict disinfecting protocols. We will be opening our online bookings on Thursday May 28th. We look forward to seeing you again in June! Di, and the Garibaldi Active Wellness team.

Our dearest clients, I know you have been patiently awaiting news from us about our re opening. Please know that your safety as well as the safety of our therapists and our community is our biggest priority. We are sure many of you saw our Premier's announcement today that regulated health care professionals such as massage therapists, chiropractors, and TCM doctors will be in the 2nd phase of re-opening BC. The CMTBC is currently working on the safety policies and procedure...s for rmt's to follow which have to be approved by our BC public health officer before we can re open. When we receive this information and can implement these procedures we will open our doors. We have not yet opened up our online bookings. We will do this as soon as we have a firm opening date. Please say posted. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Di, and the Garibaldi Active Wellness team.

We can't believe it's been a month already! From all of us at Garibaldi Active Wellness, we miss you. We sincerely hope you are all staying healthy, and are finding ways to cope and manage and navigate these uncertain times. We look forward to seeing you all again, whenever that may be.

Dearest clients, As of Tuesday March 17th, our team at Garibaldi Active Wellness has made the difficult decision to close our clinic due to COVID-19. The situation is changing so rapidly and we feel this is the safest option for our community small and wide to fight this virus. We will re assess the situation on March 30th and send out another update email then. We thank you for your continued support and for trusting us with your health and wellbeing for all these years. This was a heart breaking decision for all of us to make. Stay safe, and we hope to see you again soon.

From all of us at Garibaldi Active Wellness, we please ask that if you are feeling unwell, or are experiencing any cold or flu symptoms such as a cough or fever, please reschedule your appointment. We will be waiving our 24 hour cancellation fee at this time. We are doing our best to minimise any spread of infection during the remainder of this cold and flu season.

A great read and reminder. "It requires tough-mindedness, a deep and personal understanding of your priorities, and a respect for both yourself and the people you choose to spend your life with." If you need a little bit of help with your self-care, we would be happy to help! RMT, Chiropractic care, TCM.
