Reflecting on the past 12 years part 2!

Learn what came next after I retired from my physiotherapy career due to my journey with chronic Lyme disease. There was good that came out of my health journey and I'm so grateful that I can bring that learning to my clients!

Yesterday, Facebook memories reminded me of a life changing decision made 12 years ago. If you want to know what happened, listen to my reflections of the past 12 years and what good has come out of a difficult time and decision. My video was too long and so it's a two part series.

We took a break to get a little movement and self care in this afternoon. I'm not sure that I've ever seen so much water coming over the falls at the Little Qualicum Falls. It has rained a lot lately and the rivers are full!

If you ever want to combine a vacation to Vancouver Island and Neuromovement lessons, let me know. I can set you up with lessons and recommendations for sights to see and places to stay!

A new year and a new service added to Friesen Holistic Wellness! I now offer mobile services bringing Neuromovement® lessons to clients homes in the Oceanside area.

To celebrate this new service, I am offering $30 off the mobile lesson rates for January and February 2026.

These gentle movement lessons can help with pain relief, improve mobility and is beneficial in injury and stroke recovery.

If getting out of the house for appointments is difficult, why not have your appointment in the comfort of your own home?

🌟 Merry Christmas from Friesen Holistic Wellness!

Today the sun was shining and there was still a little snow on the trails to make it feel like Christmas. Our family is enjoying a quiet day, a gentle walk in the woods and resting after a busy activity filled December.

Wishing all my clients a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year! May you find the balance you need between movement, activity and rest! 💕

I have the honour of being on the Oceanside Women's Business Network board and serving with a wonderful team of women. We had our Sparkle By the Sea - OWBN Holiday Soiree this week. What a fabulous evening of sparkle, friendship, games, laughter and conversation. I hosted a fun ornament matching game that challenged memory and pattern recognition. The winners all got a Christmas tea package that I put together. I love all the holiday flavours of peppermint, cinnamon, clove and citrus!

provided a beautiful space to gather and a fantastic turkey meal with all the trimmings! What a great way to celebrate!

The past week was a great success! I gave 29 Neuromovement® lessons over six days. My clients ranged from ages 11 months to 90+!

It's never too late or too early to make new brain connections and improve movement. Thank you to all my lovely clients who welcome me into their homes and those who drive over an hour to come see me.

I'll be back in Manitoba at the end of January for more life changing lessons.

Highlights:
- the joy experienced when a client could now reach behind their back when that was not an easy movement before the lesson
- a parent saying their child is crawling more and pulled up to stand on their own
- a client being able to stand and not have the ankle collapse from weakness
- the warm welcome from each client
- the preschooler who has to tell me the latest news and show me their version of a "handstand"
- new clients experiencing the Neuromovement® method for the first time
- how I'm always amazed at the changes in each client no matter how many lessons I give
-the ability to connect with each client. So often this world is so busy or always changing that we do not have the time or ability to truly connect with one another. That is the greatest gift of this method!

Collagen is more than just the skin or joints. When collagen is not formed properly it affects so much more than the skin and joint capsules. I see a lot of pain, proprioception, stiffness and tension in my clients with hypermobility and collagen issues.

I am excited to take my learning to a new level to help my clients and family with hypermobility. Starting in January I will be taking the training to become an Integral Movement Method Practitioner. The Integral Movement Method (IMM) is a no pain, no strain strategy to movement that allows the body to release stress and tension from the body and replace it with a calm nervous system and efficient movement patterns. Pain and discomfort, often stuck in the body for many years, can often disappear. The IMM is endorsed by doctors and physiotherapists and has helped hundreds of people.

The weather may be blustery and cold but the welcome from clients is warm and cheery! It's a good thing this trip wasn't about the weather but to bring pain relief, new learning and improved movement to my clients. Here's to one last work trip in 2025!
