Dr. Loucks is ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS in 2026 ✨!!

Since July 2025 my books for new patients have been closed with my first baby on the way and an approaching maternity leave I wanted to ensure all my energy and time was being dedicated to my existing patients and practice but the wait is finally over 👐🏻

Come January I will be back in the office 5 days a week with appointments times as early as 6:45 AM and as late as 5:30 PM (to start ~ 6PM appointments and on coming 🔜)

If you are looking for support along your health and wellness journey, dealing with acute discomfort, chronic pain, headaches, or you are noticing tension in your body. Let’s connect and see if chiropractic care is right for you!!

Online booking available in bio or phone our clinic at 705-743-5121 📞

November is over which means our Fall Grow Co Intake is officially complete ✨

Being a new mom and being on the participant side of this course (while yes also still coaching!) was so eye opening in just how many musculoskeletal changes take place during pregnancy and post partum!

The biggest eye opener is HOW WEAK I felt during the beginning days of the course. I was wobbly, uncoordinated, tired and felt sore in some movements. Which makes sense… the final months of pregnancy are challenging to stay active although I did always try and walk and thankfully my job kept me moving right up to the due date basically.

That ~ paired with the first weeks (6+) post partum in which you are basically resting the entire time and sitting or laying down with small walks here and there while your body healed from birth.

My core and glutes felt the weakest for myself and it was hard to connect to them in the same way I did pre pregnancy. But practicing week after week I felt myself being able to integrate resistance, small weights and higher intensity work. Truly a labour of love to yourself where you aren’t “seeing” results right away but committing to the process which is crucial to heal and build back stronger!

After just 4 weeks I still have a long way to go to reach my goals but this program laid the foundations for healing, gave me guidance and accountability to myself, and allowed me the time and space to complete mindful movement geared to strengthen my whole body and for that I’m so thankful!

Here is to continuing to practice what GrowCo teaches while starting to ramp up intensity and continuing to build from this month’s progress! I’m not waiting to start in January to begin working towards my goals and I encourage you all to give yourself permission to *start in December*

Proud of all of the women who joined us this session! We had women 8 weeks PP, months PP, working moms with teenagers, seniors and more in this class and it was so great to see you all putting your health first!! 🙏🏻❤️

Happy Birthday to our incredible leader Christina 🤍 words can’t express how much this woman means to me and our team.

She is my unwavering rock. 🪨 The captain of our ship. Our shoulder to cry on. Our go to “jack of all trades how does she know everything woman”. Our call in the night or on a Sunday or in the middle of the Andes when there is a natural disaster at home 🧊.

For almost 4 years this woman has demonstrated what it means to be a team player, a leader, a role model. She is the only reason I haven’t completely lost it at work being a new mom.

I hope you absolutely enjoy every moment of your Birthday. You deserve nothing but the best and I’m so grateful for you 🙏🏻

This is 31 ✨ and I have everything Ive ever wanted

30 was an unforgettable year it marked a new decade. Full of potential and excitement.

This year I was able to travel to Music City, USA 🇺🇸 and celebrate my birthday in Nashville 🎻🎸 and then explore the ends of the earth with my Dad and Husband 🌎 to Patagonia Chile 🇨🇱 hiking over 120 km over 5 days through the Torres del Paine National Park (16 weeks pregnant!🤰). Finding out I was pregnant days before last Christmas 🎄 and surprising my husband Christmas morning was a core memory I will forever be grateful for 🥹!

30 also blessed me with so many professional milestones, 5️⃣ years in practice & being named Peterborough’s BEST Chiropractor and named Peterborough’s BEST Chiropractic clinic (3 years in a row!) 🥇🥇🥇 being nominated for a Luminary Award for women in business and then topping it off as a finalist in the Business Excellence Awards in the health and wellness category was truly so incredible!! I’m so thankful for the recognition and the opportunity to be in these spaces as a young female business owner! ✨ (makes it seem like all this hard work is being noticed 🥹🙏🏻 - so THANK YOU! To anyone mentioning my name in these rooms of opportunity 🙏🏻)

Despite these incredible accomplishments, nothing holds a candle to earning the best title I could ever ask for, “Mom” as on September 6th this year I welcomed a beautiful baby girl into my life, she has opened my heart more than anything ever has in my life and shown me what true strength really is. Especially after 40 hours of labour lol (hug your mom 😝)

I’m entering 31 with the most grateful heart, grateful for my health, my practice, my business, my daughter, my husband, my family and grateful for this next chapter…. 📖 🙏🏻✨

SEND THIS TO A MOM BUILDING HER REGISTRY 🍼🤍☁️

creating a baby registry can be very overwhelming and social media tends to add fuel to the fire when deciding what’s the best new gadget for your little one, and it makes you question is all of this really necessary?! Likely not 😅

Having patients and friends, ask me what they should add to their registry made me think that I should create this carrousel of a post to show women some of my recommendations of a “must” have item versus a “nice to” have item.

Now being almost 7 weeks postpartum it’s been very interesting to see what items have made our experience and comfort incredible and what other items tend to be slightly less practical or when reflected upon the reality is you can do without them. Some of the items in these posts, I have duplicated as a must have (IMO), but also likely do fall under the nice to have category. (Ie meal prep!! 😝)

Now keep in mind this is just my opinion in this post and what’s worked for myself being a breast-feeding mother, of course if you are planning to feed your baby using formula, there are other items that will make your life a lot easier, especially in the feeding department, but since I don’t have that the same experience, I didn’t feel like I could speak on that. 🙏🏻 I would love to hear from some formula feeding moms in the comments, though on what are some items that you would consider a must have for new moms versus a nice to have option. 👇🏼

I also tried to put myself in the position of someone who may not have the financial means to purchase EVERYTHING or someone who maybe has a very small space (my husband and I just recently moved from a two bedroom semi detached home with absolutely zero closets, so the thought of buying baby towels, and baby washcloths, even though we barely have room for our adult towels and washcloths was a hurdle we were managing for many months before we found our new home to live and raise our babies in)

I hope this post can help you curate your registry and allow you to prioritize some options from a more practical standpoint.

Also, Facebook marketplace is your best friend…. Just saying 🤟🏻🫶🏻🍼☁️🤍
