Here is the new space, just down the road from where I had been practicing for just over 10 years.
I moved into the Indigenous Care Centre along with .trail.midwifery.inc

I have *also* been working and sharing about this for over a decade as well.

My 15yr old son was diagnosed with a severe lip tie and tongue tie when he was 8mths old. That began my journey of navigating oral restrictions as a practitioner and offering bodywork (acupuncture/acupressure/Craniosacral therapy) to support babies and children.

Bodywork can help to relax tight tissues that may be impeding normal movement and growth. We also can work with the nervous system if there has been any trauma experienced from poor development, pain or procedures.

I got a sudden onset of some nerve and muscle pain last night and had minimal resources.
Thankful for my travel buddy and work wife who had Tylenol. And grateful I found a spoon and was gifted spruce pitch salve!

Gua sha can be used for so many things and muscle pain is one of them.
Scraping the skin, stimulating movement of blood 🩸 that may not be moving well (and causing pain) can provide healing and a reduction in pain….
All day today I could feel heat and movement # in the areas I did Gua Sha on

Every day.

Every decision. Multiple times a day.

One of my elders, nohkum Ruth Cardinal de Ubiera said to me “my girl, that is just life. And you have to learn to manage it ” as I cried, in circle, about how hard life was and asking when the hard stuff will end…..

Life is still hard. But I use all my tools, teachings and ceremonies to move through the harder things and enjoy the little things. It’s not that life gets easier, but my ability to adapt, discern, pivot and detach from things has strengthened.

Formula recall!!!!!

A baby formula sold online and at Costco is being recalled in Canada due to concerns of a toxin that can cause food poisoning.

The CFIA says two batches of Kendamil-brand infant formula that say "with whole milk" on the label may contain cereulide toxin, which can quickly cause nausea and vomiting. Cereulide is not destroyed by heat and can survive temperatures that would usually kill bacteria.
