It can start as early as your late 30's or early 40's.

Suddenly, you find yourself snappy, irritable and ready to bite someone's head off. Sleep isn't feeling as restorative and PMS symptoms seem to last the whole month.

Hot flashes happen here and there and your energy just isn't what it used to be.

Our transition into the hormonal changes that happen YEARS before menopause are not spoken about often but can have devastating consequences on our quality of life. The fact that we don't give this transition time it's full respect is a big part of the problem.

You may wonder what is wrong with you, why are you losing your temper or having such strange menstrual irregularities. When we aren't expecting or prepared for the transition of hormonal shifts, it can take you off guard and make you feel like it's just you who is suffering.

It's not.

After 15 years of treating women in my Naturopathic Practice, I have come to understand we all experience this transition and how much we suffer with it depends on 5 main factors.

Judy booked in to talk to us about her IBS symptoms. She complained about feeling bloated, uncomfortable and gassy most days. Her bowel movements were all over the map. Some days are hard to pass and other days very loose. She'd felt this way most of her adult life.

Our Naturopathic Doctor decided to run some specific tests to understand Judy's symptoms. They ordered a stool analysis which revealed high inflammation, yeast overgrowth and low levels of good bacteria. Blood work was done and Judy had a severe B12 and Vitamin D deficiency.

Since Judy noticed a connection between stress and her symptoms, her ND referred her to see a therapist and an energy healer. Herbal treatments, nutritional changes and supplementation was suggested to Judy and a 2-month follow-up appointment was booked.

When Rachel logged in for her Initial Consultation with her ND, she wasn't sure anything could help her. After explaining how she's been diagnosed with depression by her MD, her Naturopath asks her lots of questions to understand her full health picture and what may be contributing to her depression.

After looking at the lab work her MD originally ran, our ND also ordered thyroid and other hormone tests, and vitamin tests as well as explored inflammation. It turns out, that Rachel had a very underactive thyroid gland, insulin resistance as well as many nutrient deficiencies which may have been due to a lack of proper nutrition and digestion for many

Rachel's ND suggested she speak with her MD to properly treat her thyroid disorder and they put together a plan to help address the digestive system, nutrient deficiencies and insulin resistance. Nutrition changes, exercise and vitamin supplementation were part of the full plan.

I am so thankful to the amazing team at Healing House for delivering such quality care to our clients in 2021.

Ottawa Community Votes has given us a gold star this year and, as an entrepreneur, it’s akin to a pat on the back from your boss 😆.

I am very grateful for the clients who put their trust in us to witness their struggles, listen deeply and offer some solutions. It’s hard to reach out for help sometimes, especially when life is busy and it doesn’t feel like there’s time to take care of you.

This past year we’ve welcomed hundreds of new virtual clients and we’ve been honoured to support people though so many challenges. Infertility, anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic digestive issues, acne, autoimmune disorders and so much more.

We feel truly blessed to be a part of the Ottawa family and we want to say thank you for supporting a small business!!

❤️

Living in integrity allows us to literally feel lighter, have more freedom and drop the heavy weight of pretending. Being who we aren't in order to keep the peace actually robs you of yours.

On your journey to healing and wholeness notice where you can (with loads of self-compassion!) unburden yourself and allow aspects of who you really are to bubble up to the surface. Your body will thank you.

It is common sense that frequently moving our body is important for our health. The research is also clear - sitting is the new smoking.

The research suggests frequent movement (every 30 -60 mins, walk for 2 mins - go to the washroom, grab some water, chase your dog around the yard) improves circulation, lowers blood sugar and insulin.

All of these factors contribute to cardiovascular disease and this is the biggest health concern for women.

After 18 months of staying home more often - sitting on our couches and make-shift at-home offices I urge you to get yourself moving.

A standing desk is better but actually not the solution. You need to MOVE.

Dance it out 🕺
Plug your phone in another room across your house 📱
Set a reminder on your computer to get up. 🚨
Drink enough water that your bladder forces you to get up 🥤
Place your yoga mat on the floor of your office space as a visual reminder to stretch. 🧘🏼‍♂️

Taking care of your body can be a lot of work but you future self will thank you 🙏🏻

Creativity is such an important part of life. We are either consuming or creating. 🌟

It's great to have a balance.

It's easy to sit back and consume... and forget about your own unique expressions.

What is your mode of creativity? If it's not on the list write it in the comments to inspire me and everyone reading!

Who has been told that their exhaustion is just because of having kids or being a certain age? 🙋‍♀️

Have you left an appointment being told all of your numbers are 'just fine' but still feel like garbage and don't have a plan to feel better?

Maybe someone told you that you just need to got to bed earlier or lose weight. 🙄

Deep in your bones, something doesn't feel right. I get that. I've been there. I've been offered anti-depressants and birth control pills or sleeping pills in order to feel well. These weren't the answer. Doing more thorough testing into hormones, vitamins and inflammation markers were the answer.

It's not in your head and there are solutions.

Today is your lucky day! Randi and I are going to set up our camera out in the trees and bring you a lovely live event to help you RELEASE anxiety and tension.

Join us or watch the replay 🙂

I've had many clients the past few weeks say that the re-opening of our province has triggered anxiety and stress. This healing meditation will be all about understanding the lessons from this lockdown and using them to ease any tightness or tension as you flow into whatever this next chapter holds.

Background birds and frog sounds will be brought to you by the Enniskillen Conservation Area 🌱 🌲

You'll be able to watch over on the instagram page!

Who grew up thinking more than feeling?

Were you taught that logic and reasoning and using your big brain would get you where you wanted to go faster than listening to your heart?

How has that been going for you?

For me, it's not one or the other. For many years I've leaned heavily on my mind to navigate my life and the direction I'm taking. Lately, I've realized that my inner compass rests in my heart. This compass knows who I am, my soul points the way.

It doesn't always 'make sense' and it requires more trust than anything else, but it's really magical to follow it's lead (with a little dash of reasoning) and see where it takes me.

Just signed up for an online art course because my ❤️ got peaceful when I pondered it. That's all I need to know. We'll see where this leads me.

Have you been yearning for some time alone, in nature, to pause and just be?

Let the forest breath you in and out. Let your soul settle into the quiet and let the loosening of your heart and body release the tension that keeps you apart from your best self.

This retreat day is about re-aligning with yourself. When we have been pulled into a million directions, we don't have time or energy to really be centred. To know who we are and what we want.

Take this time to be guided back home. The plants, the trees, the water and your hosts will hold you in a container of healing. This time will be sacred and allow you to breath, remember and leave feeling revived.
