Turns out, the glow comes back when you start living for yourself again 🌞

The last few months have been full of bringing back hobbies, doing more of what I love, surrounding myself with the people who build me up (more than I could fit in a reel), and focusing on balance.

When someone says ‘I’m regular — I go every 3 days.’ 💩

You should be pooping 1–3 times per day. Let’s get you actually regular. Book your appointment today — your gut will thank you.

Help her find her perfect home

ADOPTED

Bella is a one-year-old mixed breed weighing in at 33 lbs. She was recently adopted but sadly returned through no fault of her own — her adopter realized she didn’t have the energy to keep up with both a young toddler and an active dog.

Bella is a sweet, loving girl who just wants to be part of a family again. She’s playful, affectionate, and the perfect medium size for any adventure. She’s still young and would thrive with someone who can give her time, structure, and love.

If you’ve got the heart (and the energy!) for this beautiful girl, please consider giving Bella the forever home she deserves.

Bella is up to date with age appropriate vaccines. She is spayed and has been treated for fleas and internal parasites. Bella is also microchipped.

Apply to adopt at www.coastalk9.ca/adopt

If we already have your application, please email adopt@coastalk9.ca to express interest.

Only selected applicants will be contacted for the next steps.

10 Things Dr. Kiara Has Learned in 1 Year of Practice✨

1) The nervous system is central to health.
It influences almost everything—don’t underestimate what your body may be holding onto.

2) Meet patients where they are.
Even the best treatment plan won’t work if it doesn’t align with someone’s readiness and lifestyle. Patient-driven care is key.

3) Patients are the experts of their own bodies.
I’ve learned immensely from listening to patients and their experiences.

4) Healing isn’t linear.
There are ebbs and flows, but progress still happens. Setbacks aren’t failures—they’re part of the journey.

5) Small changes add up.
Simple shifts—like more protein, extra water, or regular bowel movements—can create meaningful, tangible results.

6) Self-care is essential, not selfish.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritizing your well-being supports both you and your patients.

7) Gratitude fuels growth.
Every patient, mentor, and success reminds me why I chose this path. Being part of someone’s healing journey is a privilege.

8) Blood work is invaluable.
Collaborating with family doctors to review labs (Vitamin D, B12, iron, and more) uncovers deficiencies that can be missed but are critical to restoring health.

9) Trauma affects the body in ways we don’t always recognize.
When the nervous system holds on to past stress or emotional pain, it can show up as digestive challenges, sleep issues, or fatigue. As Bessel van der Kolk reminds us in The Body Keeps the Score, “Trauma is stored in the body; healing begins when we listen.”

10) Humility matters.
It’s okay to not have all the answers. Curiosity, collaboration, and openness are strengths in practice and in life. We learn from what we don’t know.
