Let this be your reminder that it's OKAY to -

⭐️ Ask for help when you need it
⭐️ Take a break when you are tired
⭐️ Have a bad day every now and then
⭐️ Say no when there is too much on your plate
⭐️ Take a day off
⭐️ Just be yourself

❤️

So I realize most of you are in bed (it’s 12:18 am on Nov 1) however I’ve just finished getting the final touches ready for opening the NEW LOCATION today!! I’m so excited I had to share it right this second. Kristina is coming back from mat leave and will welcome our first clients to this calm and serene space. I promise I’ll arrange something in the new year to open our doors to everyone to come and take a look. But until then if you’d like to check it out, you will need to book in with Kristina, Cindy, or Tyree 😊. A special thank you to for helping me through the roller coaster ride of my first major renovation. Now, it’s time for bed 🥱

This is your last chance to get in on our Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada fundraiser! I have designed gorgeous 12 day advent boxes to bright your December, or for anyone you purchase a box for. Adult boxes are $250 and teen boxes are $150 but the value in each is so much more than what you will pay, AND all the profits will be donated 😍. This means you can treat yourself (or someone special in your life) while helping to fund life-saving research for blood cancers (which are more common than you may think in both kids and adults). ⁠
⁠
Don't wait! The only way to get your hands on one of these very special boxes is to pre-order one. Email hello@collaborativewellness.ca or DM or order. TIA 🙏🏻.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Sometimes at the end of my day, I feel like I'm not doing enough because of all the things I said I would do but then didn't. Can you relate to this? I go to bed feeling like I'm a failure and promise myself that the next day will be different because I will be different - better, worthy, enough.

I often find it remarkable when others seem to marvel at all I do and accomplish, because that's not what I typically see. I'm too blinded by all the things I haven't done yet but should have. One day I made a conscious decision to focus more of my attention on what I get done in a day rather than what I didn't. It's seems like such a small mindshift and yet it's extraordinary.

The truth is that I accomplish a lot, every single day, and I bet you do, too. Just because something seems little or is just something you do because you have to, doesn't make it insignificant. When I get up before my kids to enjoy a cup of coffee and read for 15 minutes, then get them up with enough time to get ready for school, feed them breakfast, make their lunch, ensure they have brushed their teeth and their hair, have everything in their backpacks they need for school, have written down what dinner will be that day and what activities will be after school, gotten myself dressed and ready for work - if I pretend I'm another person looking in on my life, the truth is that by 8am every single day, I have accomplished quite a lot. Why have I not celebrated this before? Why have I not considered this as part of my self-worth, rather than fixating on the one thing I didn't do like put in my dry eye drops?

So here is my challenge to you - when you notice that your self-talk is telling you that you are not enough, that you're a failure, challenge those thoughts by looking at your day like you are another person, listing all the things that you have actually done. THAT is what matters.

Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.

This year has thrown me a lot of curve balls. It seemed like so much came at me all at the same time, but isn’t that how life goes?

Here’s the thing - I am resilient. I am a dreamer and an idealist and still believe I can change the world. Even though the timing isn’t what I expected or planned, I have chosen to follow my heart and trust my gut and take a leap of faith.

I am creating an expansion of and doubling our floor space. I am bringing to life a vision I had right before COVID hit, before all our of lives took a sharp turn. Opening this fall is The IV Experience, a bespoke intravenous and injection therapy boutique for your mind, body, and soul. As we speak, is helping to bring my vision to life, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. I would love it if you would follow along .

THANK YOU to everyone who continues to support and encourage me. It’s hard to believe that it was over 8 years ago when I started in Ladner Village, renting a single room part-time. How far I’ve come and that is all because of this amazing community.

As a perimenopausal mom running a business, Dr. Lisa knows a thing or two about hormones and stress. A large percentage of people that seek her help are there for hormones or stress and mental health. Many are surprised to learn just how intertwined hormones and stress are. Spoiler alert: if you are perimenopausal or menopausal, your body will be even more sensitive to the effects of stress. ⁠
⁠
Not a patient of ? You can still learn from her. On Tues Aug 8 from 6 - 7:30pm at Saje Wellness in Tsawwassen Mills, Dr. Lisa will be talking about allllllll the connections, including how hormones change with age. You'll also hear from Nitu Binning, a holistic nutritionist, who will talk about the importance of nutrition to support graceful aging, and Saje store manager, Elaina Greenman, who will talk about natural options for nourishing your body with products from Saje. ⁠
⁠
Tickets are required to attend this event. You can email Saje assistant store manager, Rylie (rbrenneis@saje.com), to reserve your spot, but don't wait because there is limited space and we're expecting this event to sell out.

There are lots of reasons to see a naturopathic doctor, but there are a few reasons why people choose to see me. ⁠
⁠
❤️ I am a creative thinker, often seeing things in a way that others don't. I'm asking questions that no one has asked before, and sometimes this is exactly what is needed to put all the pieces together.⁠
❤️ I've worked in healthcare for over 20 years, and started on the traditional side of medicine. This gave me a healthy respect for science, but it left me wanting to connect more meaningfully with patients. I truly care about the wellbeing of others and want to help. Becoming a naturopath has been a dream come true. The work can be so hard, but it's also so rewarding. ⁠
❤️ My initial visits are long to give folks the time and space to tell me their whole story. I feel strongly that to know where you're going you have to understand where you've been. So often what you think is causing a problem, is just what's on the surface I want people to feel better forever, not just for the few visits they come to see me for, which means we have to go deeper. ⁠
⁠
I've just celebrated my 8th year of serving the Delta community. Thank you to everyone that has seen the gifts I offer and supported me along the way. I am truly grateful to be here ❤️
