Finally after much anticipation I have expanded with a 3:1 full spectrum red light & near/mid/far infrared sauna for patient and public use in Shan Wellness!! This is the first of its kind in our area. The combination of red light with full spectrum infrared has many applications including pain and inflammation relief, recovery from athletic activity, detox, cardiovascular health, relaxation, weight loss, and anti aging!
Included in the sauna experience at Shan Wellness are luxury towels, complimentary extrolytes to hydrate after, as well as complimentary local hand-crafted herbal skin products for some extra pampering before & after. It’s not just a sauna, it’s a sanctuary! Text me for more info or to book (780-817-8877)

In this newsletter, I outline three protocols that use deliberate heat exposure as a powerful means to improve health, mood, and longevity.

I can’t believe it has been 8 weeks of life with my little one! Time is flying by and I realized I am due for an update.

Here is some news on my return to practice:

✨ I will be available starting the week of March 18th for a limited number of telemedicine appointments only.

✨ I will be available in person at Shan Wellness starting in April. My hours will be limited to start and will gradually increase with time.

✨My locum, Dr. Anna Garber will continue to be available to support you up until my return. She has got you covered!

You all know how much I value honesty and vulnerability so I want to share with you: I am really excited to see my patients but admittedly, returning to work sounds scary. Babies become your whole world and opening up to share your energy with anything else is nerve wracking. I feel deeply in myself that I need to honour that and so my return will be slow and gradual. Me and my little family appreciate your patience 🙏❤️
