Oh yes they do!!!

Some remember who was first last time. Some earn first by bartering with parents. I opt never to be THAT decision maker!

Kids who get adjusted love it. They will ask to come in. And look forward to being here.

And oh boy do I love when they come in! One little guy used to tell his mom and dad “Remember, Dr. Pip loves me.” (He totally gets me).

On the case of these two - they had been sick last week and told Mom they needed an adjustment this week! They were missing it! Kiddos know their bodies and it’s beautiful to see parents listen.

We have so many great moments each week with Jorja. This week extra laughs were at her expense after our hike - so I’m sharing with you!

Being the dedicated working dog she is, she still made it to the office later that day! ❤️

“You let your kids go on a trampoline?”

YES – here is why.

From my chiropractic lense – health is not about no injury, its about being strong and resilient.

Taking risks and recovering. Learning and growing.

If I wanted to keep my kids injury free, I could have wrapped them in bubble wrap and guaranteed stunted development.

We cannot grow and get stronger and learn to be at our best without risk.

I encourage my kids to learn risk. They need to learn to do hard things safely and learn how to recover.

The trampoline fits this. I WANT my kids to learn to take risks. I support them taking risks. And I support their recovery when needed. As a Chiro - I have the tools to support them AND you to be resilient and healthy, even if they have taken a risk and have an injury. And I can help you and your family stay strong and resilient so you can be more confident taking those risks too!

We had such fun with a patient’s changes after her first adjustment this week.

She was SO shocked at the ease of movement that she had that when she went to re-test her ability to stand against the wall, she actually ran INTO the wall. She thought she still needed to put so much effort into standing, and instead, found after her adjustment that she could move and stand upright WITH EASE!

I love seeing the changes with chiropractic! ❤️ Sometimes there is an immediate change like this and with time we see healing!

I did some things!

This was one of those projects that needed prep! We have finally cleared out a filing cabinet to make room for the book shelf, which makes room for the tree, which makes room for the reception area to be opened up! And most of all - for my books to be on the shelf!!!

I love books and learning and I love sharing that in practice and through having a lending library for patients in the office. This shelf was in my practice and came with me. My vision when I created my first practice was to have BOOKS in it! ❤️📚

This space feels so much more open and has more life. And since we are working to enhance your life, it just feels right!

I’m excited to be back in the office tomorrow! See you all soon!

“When I grow up I want to be adaptable to stress.” Said no KID ever.

But you know what? It IS what we want for ourselves AND our kids… so we CAN do all the things we dream of. We need resilience to cope with the changing demands and our changing needs day to day. So we can live the life we want. Or so our kiddos can live the life they want. So yes, this is the work we do and why there is so much awesomeness witnessed in chiropractic offices. Seeing people adapt better to stress!

This is Christmas!! Giving just MAKES our Christmas. It was such a pleasure to work with the amazing team (Thank you for the mugs and hot chocolate!)

So many of you brought PJs so that so that kids in our community had new PJs for Christmas. I love the tradition of shopping for those PJs with my two kids. Learning to share and give and let that be the gift to ourselves. We got PJs for ALL the kids on our list!!! I didn’t do a final count - we were too busy making sure all the kids were accounted for and delivered on time! I can tell you it filled my trunk and my heart. Thank you to our new community for welcoming this idea and helping us make it happen!

And with that… we start our holidays. With cuddles and coffee, and reading by the tree. From our family to yours, Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. May so many wishes come true. ❤️🎄

We LOVE seeing the light and the life come back to you after an adjustment. We had a young teen in last night and she was just the perfect example of this. Almost hiding pre adjustment and glowing after.

This is what inspires me. Seeing YOU, seeing your smile and your light. It’s not just pain relief, it’s a change in your entire physiology!

If you know Polyvagal theory, you understand some of how this is working. More ease and more connection. That’s what it’s all about.

Do you remember new PJs for Christmas as a kid?

Many kids in our community don’t have that pleasure. We are supporting families in need through the Georgian Bay Native Women’s Association.

They have given us a list of kids in need: their gender and size so we can shop for them! Patients have been taking a tag or a whole family. We then place the new unwrapped PJs under our tree ready to deliver closer to Christmas.

If you are a patient, you can select a child when you are in. Not a patient, but want to join in on the joy of Christmas giving by helping us out? Reach out and we’ll happily give you the details for a child in need!

Things I noticed when I brought Jorja into the office:

🦮More laughter and playfulness
🦮More connection to her and others, less with phones
🦮The calming effect of petting her
🦮More smiles
🦮More hair on the floor. 🤣 It has to be said.

In short - joy and connection. We know dogs are not everyone’s cup of tea. She can be popped into the house when someone needs space from her. But mostly, we hear people loving her vibe.

This was a great reminder as we head into sugar season… I’m always the mean mom, limiting cereal and treats, reinforcing protein, fat, and fruits/veg. We eat far too much sugar still, but there is a constant effort and this video reminded me WHY I need to keep on it.

Sugar is hiding everywhere in today's widely-accepted diet, but meanwhile its devastating effects are creating more deaths than automobile accidents. In this...
