Wow, October has seriously gotten away from me! And it's been a long time since I've shown my face on here so I thought I'd say HI and share some updates! Some things have changed! I mean it's 2020 so does that really surprise you? Lol At the beginning of October I changed clinic locations and started working with Vitality Physio downtown Dundas! (still working in Cambridge as well) ... So if you're looking for me, you can find me at 37 Hatt St. At the same time (actually almost on the exact same day), I moved into a new apartment ... It's been quite the month! I am now a plant mom to about 10 new plants And also exciting... I got a new website up and running! You can check me out at reviveosteopathy.ca I hope you've all been doing super well during this time! Keep your head up (because it's better for your neck ) & I hope to see you around! - M #newchanges #Osteopathy #Dundas

Congrats Darren! Check out this incredible feat After battling GBS and being paralyzed from the waist down, Darren completed his second ultramarathon on the weekend, and his first 60k distance!

A couple of late morning spots have opened up for this coming Saturday at 11:15 and 11:45 for anyone in need of being seen this week :) My Saturday next week has been shortened so I won't have as much availability, if you're looking to get in. Have a great week!

Very honoured to have been nominated for the Reader's Choice Award for Best Osteopathic Manual Practitioner for the second year in a row. Grateful to whoever sent my name in If you would like to vote you can go to ... https://www.thespec.com//s/osteopathic-manual-practitioner Sending love to all my patients who have supported me over the years #OsteopathicPractitioner #ReadersChoice #Hamilton #lovemyjob

IMPORTANT UPDATE The Canada Revenue Agency has changed the status of osteopathic manual therapy. Due to this change, we are forced to charge HST on all Osteopathic Treatments effective immediately. For more information, see the link below reflecting this change.... I have also sent out an email with more clinic updates. If you have not received it be sure to check your junk folder, or send me an updated version of your email to ensure it gets to you :) Thank you for all of your patience during this time https://www.canada.ca//news108-excise-gst-hst-news-no-108-

(Take .. Because apparently Facebook only uploaded 26 seconds of my video last time lol) Hey Guys! If you know me or have been treated by me before, you know that I place a lot of importance on doing things for yourself outside of the treatment room.... Well given the current circumstances I am unable to provide Osteopathic Treatment, however, I can still assist you in helping you understand your body better and working through things in a safer way that is tailored to your needs! This also helps keep you accountable to your own health and healing If this sounds like something you are interested in, please shoot me a DM or email me!

I totally expected to be able to post this from my instagram page, and thought it would cut the frame, but it didn't... so please enjoy the sweatpants haha . . . . . #Osteopathy #mobility #pain #management #anatomy #body #aches #Dundas #Hamilton #Cambridge #tailoredmovement #healing #accountability

It is with a heavy heart that I'm announcing the temporary postponement of treatments. I believe right now it is imperative that we put the state of the world first, and that we all do our part to care for one another. I will be updating everyone as I learn more, and as soon as we're given the green light to resume I will be sending out emails!... In the meantime, take this as a chance to reconnect with people and things you love. Find ways to be creative, learn something new & don't forget to care for yourself We've got this If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me [email protected] #love

100% THIS! Glass half full

We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, but that world can get heavy sometimes. Wearing away at us, taking our energy and holding us so tight that we forget we can step out from under it. Taking that time for yourself, removing yourself from those stressful situations is extremely therapeutic & will help is all aspects of your life. Let this be a safe space, a space to come & let go. You can talk if you want, or be in silence. You can laugh, cry, let it out an...yway you need. Or just rest. Allow yourself to just be as you want to be, feel what you need to feel, with no judgement or noise from the outside world. This space is for you, here for you & made for you. We’re not just muscles and bones. Listening to ourselves, letting go and quieting the mind is equally as important in healing the physical body #Osteopathy #healing #safespace #letgo #selflove [email protected] | 905.746.9330 @reviveosteopathy . . . . . . . . . . . #health #wellness #body #osteo #anatomy #physiology #relax #unwind #physical #emotional #here #mindful #worldview #happy #plants #sunshine #clinic #manualtherapy #breathe #namaste #Dundas #Hamont #practitioner #acceptance #love

We've finally got that Canadian winter And it's cold, but the sun is out so I'm out too! Exposure of sunlight to the eyes triggers the release of serotonin which helps regulate mood, social behaviour, appetite, digestion, sleep, sexual desire & function No wonder we feel better when we go outside! It's involved in our overall daily functioning. Bundle up & enjoy the day leading into the weekend! ... #sunlight #winter #mood #functioning #Osteopathy

Be sure to check out this workshop if you want to learn how to use kettlebells! I love this piece of equipment, it's extremely versatile, you can use them in so many different ways, there are some incredible benefits to incorporating them into your workout routine!

It took a while to dig these out! But in celebration of National Girls & Women in Sport Day I thought I'd find some oldies (sorry in advance about the quality) & share a little more about myself with those of you who may not have known me for too long! ... Sports mean so much to me. I grew up playing everything I could make time for & I loved it all. I spent hours on end practicing with my dad, my teammates, on my own, one-on-one with coaches. I traveled far out of town to train with other teams. It was my life and I am so grateful I had those opportunities & experiences. Playing sports, both team & individual, teaches you so much, helps build foundational skills and more importantly introduces you to some incredible people who will have a lasting impact on you. I may be a retired athlete now but I still apply the same principles I've learned to other aspects of my life. I continue to stay active, try new things (all the time), and sports are in part why I got into Osteopathy. I hope to provide care to my patients that allows them to continue staying active in their lives, and allows them to do the things they love most! My laundry list is long, but here are just a few of the sports and some of my favourite photos from the years #womeninsport #femaleathlete #athletics #active #sport #passion

After this weekend I'm considering a future clinic with a view of the lake from my treatment rooms How amazing would that be? #Osteopathy #clinic #privatepractice #manualtherapy #healing #dream ... [email protected] | 905.746.9330 @reviveosteopathy

I love the sound of that crunch! Not letting a little bit of snow get in the way of my trail run As much as it may seem more difficult with less solid ground to dig into, and a more slippery surface at points.. Running in the snow can force your body to: Develop more stability & strength in the joints as it adapts to unique terrain... & work harder as the snow increases the overall difficulty of your run, making you engage muscles differently On top of that, the snow provides a softer surface to run on which is easier on your joints, & spending time outdoors is great for improving your mood, sleep & immune system It's a good idea to work on overall mobility prior to running to avoid injury. But if you're feeling like you're ready to try, don't let the winter stop you! Be sure to start slow Dress warm & wear socks that cover your ankles Shorten your stride to reduce risk of falling Walk on the icy parts When going downhill, change the angle of your feet from side to side to slow yourself down, gain traction & maintain control And use it as an opportunity to get out & enjoy the day! #winterrunning #trails #snow #balance #stability #osteopathy [email protected] | 905.746.9330 @reviveosteopathy

"Improving methylation is important for everyone, but it's especially important if you have an autoimmune condition. One of the reasons is the role of methylation in the production and recycling of glutathione, the body's master antioxidant"
