Wings of Care

03/18/2026

In case you’re new here, Hi! 🥰
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself 🤍

Well hello there, lovely! 👋😄 🥰
My name is Colaina. I’m the Case Manager at Wings of Care and a Certified Health Care Assistant.

At current, we serve the North Peace Regional districts of British Columbia. That includes all of our towns and rural farming communities in the North, and their reservations.
—So I guess you could say it’s a fun (sometimes stressful) job for me lol, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I absolutely love it 🥰

Before stepping fully into healthcare, I spent over 12+ years working as a nanny, supporting children both on and off the spectrum. That experience shaped me deeply and helped build the foundation for the care I provide today. Put me on the ‘caring path’ I guess you could say! 😍😍🤗

Later, I completed my nursing/HCA program in 2017, and have been working in healthcare and community for almost 10 years now. Between childcare, geriatrics, and mental health (worked in that too:), it’s given me a well-rounded, grounded perspective on care across all stages of life. I am so grateful to God for those early years and the people that were part of it all.
Amazing people and absolute legend’s to say the least. 🙌🏼

Wings of Care was founded in May 2020—right in the middle of the Plandemic—alongside some incredible individuals who shared the same vision and heart as I did: to bring better, more meaningful, and higher-quality care to our communities of the North, and to offer an alternative to mainstream healthcare.

Over the past almost 6 years now with our company, I have witnessed a lot within the mainstream deathcare system —corruption, political lies and deflection, division, silencing, experienced and vital professionals being fired unjustly, law and order not being upheld, patients’ rights being abused, death certificates being changed and fraudulent, oaths being broken, sedations (murder) taking place to fill beds faster, the heartbreak, and the continued unmet struggle of our patients and their families . But through it all, we’ve stayed grounded in our mission: to show up, to care deeply, and to do better.

Wings of Care was born during a time in my life when everything was uncertain. The world was shut down (literally). Seniors’ care and surgeries were cancelled for over a year +. People were dressing in bubble-wrap ‘protective’ suits, holding signs of love just to show a loved one or elder they cared. Newborns being born, and grandparents couldn’t even touch them for over a year. (Just taking us all back to that time again to get a feel of what it was like for us) It was absolute madness. A real-life “mad house,” if you will. lol. Was truly surreal.
—I have so many ridiculous stories from that time but I won’t get to them now. lol

After losing my job as a pediatric nurse/nanny while still working night shifts in federal healthcare, I found myself at a breaking point. I prayed, and I truly believe God placed it on my heart: “If you don’t see the change in the world, let’s create it.”
And that’s exactly what we did.

The “Wings” in Wings of Care symbolize God’s protection, His covering, and His care over all His people. The circle in our logo was chosen to represent God’s arms (or His wings) wrapping his love and truth around the earth, holding and supporting up all of His children.

This has never just been a business for us—it’s always been a calling.

We believe in:
• Quality over quantity
• People over profit
• Solutions over excuses
• Compassion over convenience

We care deeply. For our clients, their families, our incredible lights and staff, and for the truth to be shown and upheld in our nation. Every single person matters. And their voice matters.
They matter to God and His kingdom, and every person matters to us. We will never judge a care plan or a person or their condition. But we do speak truth and light to those who are interested in listening. I think that’s an important part of our job as healthcare workers and perhaps something that’s missing and part of the problem in mainstream deathcare.. People deserve and need the truth, not quick, simple fixes, for profit.

And to those who have been kind to us, who truly see our heart and our mission—thank you. Thank you for recognizing that we are trying to walk out something different, something pure, and something grounded in God’s truth—His healing and restoration.

We know we’re not loved by everyone. In fact, some people don’t understand us, and some may even dislike what we stand for. They can even be downright rude and mean.. And to those people, I fully respect that and the freedom of speech.
May we never lose that…. . .

But to those who have stood by us anyway—honestly and truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means everything to me to know we have your guys’ support. And to our new supporters, welcome welcome my beautiful friend and sibling of God, thank you so much for being here.

It’s not easy standing up or choosing to be different—especially in a world that can try to make you feel small, fearful, or silent. But we will continue to stand firm in who we are and what we’re called to do.

This journey has changed me in ways I can’t even put into words—and I know we’re still just getting started. There is so much more coming, so much more to be done, and I can’t wait to share what’s ahead.

Together, we can and are doing something meaningful and life changing. We will continue to care for our communities, support our elders, protect our children, and stand in unity, love, and in Christ’s truth.

You’ll see me be real here. You’ll hear me speak honestly. You’ll probably even hear me swear every so often (I’m still a new Christian and we are still working on that;). But this is who I am.
My hearts in it. And this is me. I won’t apologize for that.

Follow along, be part of the journey, and let’s build something that truly heals .

Love you neighbor & friend 🤍God bless, and may we all go in peace.

Colaina H. ✨

Health isn’t punishment, it’s physiology.

We’ve been taught that change takes time. That healing is slow. But the truth is, your biology responds to every choice you make almost instantly. You are one walk, one meal, one deep breath away from shifting the entire chemistry of your body.

A single nutrient-dense meal can begin to reprogram your gene expression, flipping on the genes that promote healing and turning off the ones that drive inflammation and disease.

Go for a walk, and you boost levels of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a compound that helps your brain grow, adapt, and protect itself against aging.

Take a few deep, slow breaths and your vagus nerve kicks in, activating your parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol, and shifting you out of stress mode and into repair mode.

These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re real-time biological events. And they add up.

Everything you’re exposed to over the course of your life, from diet to stress to toxins shapes your health more than your genes ever will. That means you’re not at the mercy of your DNA.

You are the CEO of your own health.

Most people focus on the wrong thing when it comes to seniors and memory loss.

When someone becomes confused or struggles on a mental state exam, we usually focus on one question:
“What’s wrong with their brain right now?”

But we rarely ask the bigger question:
What changed in their life that may have led to this?

Sometimes the brain isn’t failing simply because of age.

Sometimes it’s reacting to a sudden shift from a lifetime of movement, conversation, hobbies, work, music, faith, and purpose… to long quiet days with very little stimulation.

And sometimes, the brain is simply overloaded with medications and environmental toxins.

Many seniors gradually accumulate multiple prescriptions over the years — for sleep, anxiety, blood pressure, bladder issues, pain, mood, and more.

But research continues to show us that polypharmacy (taking multiple medications) is strongly associated with confusion, falls, muscle-dystrophy and muscle degeneration, and cognitive decline in older adults.

Common medications known to contribute to confusion or memory problems include:
• Sleeping pills and sedatives
• High blood pressure pills and blood thinners (like statins)
• Certain anxiety medications (like benzodiazepines)
• Strong pain medications (opioids and even T3’s)
• Some antihistamines used for allergies
• Certain bladder medications with anticholinergic effects
• Some antidepressants
• Combinations of multiple medications interacting together

Even medications intended to help memory can commonly cause side effects like dizziness, fatigue, agitation, short-term memory loss, hallucinations, slowed thinking, slower speech (having to find words) in individuals. Especially when on for prolonged periods.

Several large studies have found that anticholinergic medications — common in allergy, bladder, and sleep medications — are linked with increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia when used long-term.

Other research has shown that benzodiazepines (many common anxiety and sleep medications) are associated with higher rates of memory problems, confusion, and falls in older adults.

This doesn’t mean medications never help — they often do, but they should be used for its intended short-term purposes, during acute health issues or crises.
Many Dr’s forgetting that crucial piece.

In fact, a large amount of commonly prescribed medications include warnings or cautions about long-term use beyond several weeks or months, depending on the drug.
Yet, it’s very common to see people taking the same medications for 10, 15, or even 20+ years, often without regular reassessment by their Dr of whether they’re still needed.

“Aging” may actually be the brain struggling under too many chemical signals.

Another major factor that needs to be addressed:

The loss of stimulation and purpose.

The brain is like a muscle.
If it stops being used, it will weaken.

But when it is stimulated, something remarkable happens. 🧠💡

Conversation wakes it up.
Music wakes it up.
Movement wakes it up.
Laughter wakes it up.
Prayer and spiritual life wake it up.

Time with loved ones matters.
Meaningful hobbies matters.
Purpose matters.

Many families notice that a loved one who seemed withdrawn or confused can suddenly become more alert after:
• a meaningful conversation
• listening to music they love
• prayer or spiritual reflection
• a walk outside
• playing games or doing puzzles
• reconnecting with grandchildren or friends

The brain doesn’t retire when someone gets older.

It will always need:
Connection.
Movement.
Nutrients.
Meaning.
Faith.
Purpose.
Love.

Sometimes it just needs relief from too many medications and not enough life.

Time to get back to our roots.🪞🌱 ✝️ 🧠

⚠️ What if PCOS isn’t actually an o***y problem… but a blood sugar problem? 🤔🩸

Doctors call it Polycystic O***y Syndrome, but many researchers now say it’s largely a metabolic condition driven by insulin resistance.

That means the body struggles to regulate blood sugar — something very closely related to early diabetic-type metabolic dysfunction.

When insulin stays too high, it can trigger the ovaries to produce more androgens (male-type hormones). That hormonal shift can disrupt ovulation and sometimes lead to multiple small cysts forming on the ovaries.

Common signs women notice:
• Irregular, long-lasting, or missing periods
• Ovarian cysts or occasional pelvic pain
• Pain after eating
• Acne or oily skin
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Facial/body hair or thinning scalp hair
• Fatigue or blood sugar crashes
• Feeling shaky between meals
• Strong sugar cravings or waking up hungry at night
• Constant tiredness, difficulty focusing, or feeling drained even after sleeping
• Frequent urges to urinate (sometimes linked to blood sugar imbalance)

Here’s the part many people don’t realize:

About 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance — even if they’re not overweight. 🙌🏼 🩸

So what contributes to it?

Research points to a combination of:
• Blood sugar and insulin issues
• Chronic inflammation
• Hormone-disrupting environmental exposures
• Diet and lifestyle factors affecting metabolism

In other words, PCOS may be the body reacting to multiple modern metabolic pressures at once.

And the most important part: many women improve symptoms when they start supporting blood sugar balance, hormone health, and inflammation.
One of the simplest ways to do this?
Exercise exercise exercise. 🏃‍♀️ Switch from processed foods to whole, nutrient-rich foods — think veggies, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats, and high-fiber whole organic grains. 🥦🥑🍓

If your cycle has ever felt “off,” it might be worth paying attention. Your body often signals things long before doctors connect the dots.

Did any of these symptoms sound familiar to you?

Mobility challenges can look different for everyone. 🦯 🚶🦼🦽💙 🙌🏼

For some, it’s difficulty getting up from a chair.
For others, it may be trouble walking safely, getting in and out of the shower, climbing stairs, or getting to appointments. Sometimes it’s simply feeling unsteady and worrying about falling.

You are not alone in this — and there are ways to make daily life easier and safer.

At Wings of Care Home Care Solutions, our caregivers support seniors and individuals with mobility challenges in many ways, including:
• Safe walking and transfers
• Help getting in and out of bed or chairs
• Bathing and personal care
• Assistance with mobility equipment
• Transportation to appointments and errands
• Fall-prevention support around the home and at night
• Daily activities that help maintain independence

Many people are surprised to learn that with the right assessment and through the Red Cross, a large portion of mobility equipment can often be covered or provided — such as walkers, wheelchairs, commodes, grab handles, and other helpful supports.

Our team can help guide you through the process and make sure you have the right support in place.

If you or a loved one are finding mobility more challenging, reach out. A care provider can make all the difference in staying safe, comfortable, and independent at home. 🏡 🦽 ☺️🙌🏼

Strength Training: The Health Secret No One Talks About Enough 💪🏼 🏋️ 👇🏼

Here’s something most aging adults aren’t told…

One of the biggest predictors of independence as we age isn’t medications, fancy diets, or expensive treatments.

It’s muscle. 💪🏼

A common saying in nursing is “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” And when it comes to our muscles and mobility, that couldn’t be more true.

After about age 30, adults can start losing 3–8% of muscle per decade if they don’t actively use it — and that loss speeds up later in life.

Less muscle usually means:

• More falls
• Slower recovery from illness or injury
• Less balance and stability
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Loss of independence

Yet somehow the focus always ends up on more medications, instead of helping (and teaching) people to stay strong enough to move well.

The truth? Muscle is protective. It’s our body’s cushion.
It protects bones, joints, metabolism, balance, circulation, and even brain health.

And the good news is it’s never too late to start building strength.

Strength training for aging adults doesn’t have to mean a gym or heavy weights. It often looks like simple everyday movement such as:

• Standing up and sitting down from a chair repeatedly
• Wall push-ups
• Squats while holding the kitchen counter
• Carrying groceries or laundry baskets
• Resistance band exercises
• Light dumbbells or water bottles as weights
• Step-ups on stairs or a step stool
• Heel raises while holding onto the counter
• Marching in place
• Walking hills or uneven ground (with support)
• Gardening, digging, or yard work
• Shoveling light snow
• Simple balance exercises like standing on one leg

Even 10–20 minutes a few times per week can make a noticeable difference over time.

Movement keeps the body working the way it was designed to.

The real “anti-aging secret” isn’t complicated.

Move your body. Build strength. Stay independent.

"In Ontario alone, 219 people were killed by the end of the next day following their request for “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) in 2023, According to a 2024 report by an advisory committee. About 30 percent of those deaths occurred on the same day that the person sought the government’s permission to die."

Lord save us. Bring us back to you.
This hurts my heart 😔

“Assisted su***de has been allowed in Canada for nearly a decade,” Rupa Subramanya writes. “Over time, it has become just another part of the healthcare system, with well-established referral networks and forms to fill out.”

Many grievers share the heartache of walking down an aisle in a grocery store and seeing their loved one’s favorite foods. Sometimes it stops us in our tracks. Elizabeth Edwards wrote about being in a grocery store once and seeing her 16 year old son Wade’s favorite soda and the grief hit so hard she dropped to her knees. She sobbed. She also shared that she was sure that no one bought any soda in that store for 20 minutes that day while some woman was hysterical on the floor in the soda aisle.

Many grievers also share grocery stores are hard places as it’s a place to bump into people they know, some not well, who may have heard about their loss and want to ask questions when the griever just wants to pick up something and leave. Or they ask about the griever’s family as they haven’t heard about the death and that is also so hard when a griever is not expecting to answer a question that in the past was thoughtful and now feels painful. Others say they see people who know them turn their grocery cart around to avoid them. Sometimes that is a relief and sometimes feels painful too.

Many grievers ask friends or family who want to help shop for them or even they use Instacart or the grocery store to deliver food in the beginning. Some will shop at a grocery store far from home to avoid bumping into people.

No matter what it can be a hard place to go as a griever.
