💙Feeling like something’s shifting in your body?💙

Hot flashes, headaches, low energy, mood swings, brain fog, or sleep that just isn’t landing—even though your cycle is still showing up—can all be signs that you’re entering perimenopause.

This stage is real, it’s normal, and it can feel like a lot. Hormones fluctuate, your body speaks louder, and sometimes it feels like you’re navigating it alone.

You don’t have to.

Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a grounded, holistic way to understand this transition. And with regular acupuncture, many people experience support with the intensity of these symptoms—so they can move through this next chapter with more ease, clarity, and steadiness.

At Dalhousie Health & Wellness, Tammy—our Registered Acupuncturist—creates a space where you can breathe, reset, and feel supported.

Alongside treatment, she champions mindful movement, stress management, and nourishing habits to help you land in this new phase feeling more aligned and empowered. 🫶🏻

Ready to take care of YOU?

Book a consult with Tammy and step into this transition with support, strength, and grounding.

💙Why do injuries keep coming back?💙

It’s not always about the muscle or joint that hurts. Often, recurring injuries happen because:

✨Another area of the body is compensating
✨Old injuries changed the way you move
✨Daily habits + posture create extra strain
✨Stress keeps your system tense + slow to heal

That’s why looking at the body as a whole is so important.

Osteopathy works by finding and treating the root cause—not just the sore spot—so your body can move freely and break the cycle of recurring pain.

👉If you’re tired of the same injury showing up again and again, it might be time to take a full-body approach.

Osteo Krista is ready to help you get to the root of your nagging injury, and back to living well and loving life.

💙A Note from Dr. Meredith 💙

I’m long overdue in sharing an update about my absence from DHW. As many of you know, I took a pause from chiropractic practice to follow my heart and open a yoga studio. My plan was to take just a few weeks away and then return to practice — but, as life often does, it had other plans for me.

What started as a short pause became a much deeper journey than I anticipated. I quickly realized I had taken on more than I could manage all at once. These past months have been filled with reflection, growth, and a lot of soul-searching as I’ve navigated my new business, family life, and the question of how chiropractic fits into it all.

Stepping back hasn’t been easy — in fact, it’s been one of the hardest decisions I’ve made. I’ve stayed quiet because I wanted to honor the time it took to really process it all. I miss my patients and this community deeply; you’ve all been such an important part of my life and purpose.
I take so much comfort knowing that Dr. Stav has continued to care for you with the same love, attention, and excellence that I would. She has been carrying a tremendous load managing both practices, and I’ve been searching for the right person to join our DHW family and support her — and all of you — during my time away.

I’m thrilled to share that we’ve found that person: Dr. Kerry McCann. Dr. Kerry brings not only incredible skill and experience but also a heart-centered approach that aligns perfectly with our values. She’s trained in all the same techniques we use at DHW and has a special interest in women’s health and pregnancy care.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Kerry to the DHW community. I’m beyond grateful for the continued care, trust, and love that flow through this space — and I feel completely confident that you are in the very best hands with Dr. Stav and Dr. Kerry.

With love and gratitude,
Dr. Meredith Hodges

As a former Irish dancer turned chiropractor, I know how demanding sports can be on a young athlete’s body 🩰⚽🏒

Teens train hard — but their growing bodies need just as much focus on recovery and alignment as they do on performance.

Common issues I see in young athletes 👇
💥 Hip & low back pain
💥 Knee or ankle strain
💥 Shoulder tension & headaches

Chiropractic care helps improve movement, prevent injury, and support recovery — keeping your teen strong, balanced, and performing their best.

✨ Move smarter, not harder.
✨ Perform with confidence.
✨ Stay injury-free.

If your teen athlete is feeling the wear and tear of training, chiropractic care can go a long way.

Dr. Kerry 💙

💙 Can osteopathy help with a concussion? 🤕

A concussion isn’t just “a bump on the head.” It can leave you dealing with headaches, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, and neck tension long after the initial injury.

I actually experienced this firsthand during my schooling. After my own concussion, I struggled with lingering symptoms—and it was osteopathic treatment that helped me find relief and finally start to feel like myself again. 🩵
Through gentle, hands-on techniques, osteopathy can support your recovery by:

💆‍♀️ Releasing tension in the head, neck + spine
😌 Calming the nervous system
💧 Improving circulation + fluid movement
⚖️ Restoring balance + coordination

Every body heals differently, but I know from both personal experience and my work with patients that osteopathy can be a powerful support in concussion recovery.
You don’t have to go through it alone—your body can heal. ✨

📅 .osteo is now accepting new patients — booking November 24th!
