Hello everyone!

Summer is officially here! (even if this gray rainy day seems otherwise) 🌞 It's been quite some time since I've been online, so I thought it was about time to say hello, and share a reminder about summertime health!

Sometimes when the warm weather comes, we forget it's been a year since the last time we spent hours in the garden, played outside all day, slept on air mattresses at the campground, and all those other summer activities that leave us sore (and feeling old!)

Remember not to overdo your activities, hydrate with electrolytes regularly, and pop in for some therapy when your body lets you know it's time! 😉

See you soon!

To my patients and my community, thank you! 🥂

I don't know how nominations work, or how voting happens, but I was surprised by an email today notifying me of a bronze award as one of Victoria's top chiropractic clinics.

Wow! 🥰

As a one-woman chiropractic show at Refined Health, and relatively unknown in Victoria, I don't know how I ended up being voted so favourably. But I am grateful, thankful, and motivated by everybody's support!

There are times when I question my ability to help others...
Am I doing enough for my patients?
Am I making a difference?
Am I helping people get better?
Am I meeting expectations?
What am I not doing enough of? ..I work long hours treating patients daily, and I put in several hours more on self-education in the mornings and evenings every week, so that I allow as little doubt as possible to take up space in my mind. At the end of every day, I reflect on my day as the doctor I was for my patients. I love doing my job, even if it exhausts me.

So, thank you for taking a moment to choose me! I will continue to work hard for you with every bit of effort I have.

Merry Christmas everyone! I am looking forward to a wonderful new year with you all!

Sincerely,
Dr. Carly Youlton

Thank you Mark, for making this movement happen!

Dear community members, please help save Esquimalt business access.

Please visit www.betterbikeroute.ca

Please, let's not become like downtown Victoria by forcing business closures due to inconvenience and inaccessibility.

And, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST 🙏

ALSO:

Bike lane surveys for the west end of Esquimalt Road are online www.engagingesquimalt.ca/esquimaltroad

Please support local business access by choosing options 2 or 3 in the survey.

OPEN HOUSE THIS THURSDAY!!!

⚠️LAST WEEKEND FOR OPPOSITION SIGNATURES, REGARDING PROTECTED BIKE LANES!⚠️

Esquimalt Council will be voting within the month to go ahead with the protected bike lane project along all of Esquimalt Road (Dominion to Canteen).

If you oppose this plan, be a participant and use your voice in our democracy!

Here are 3 separate petitions for every indivodual to sign!
PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AMD FAMILY BEFORE THIS WEEKEND IS OVER!

*Petition 1: https://chng.it/7HxGCQ8MrS
*Petition 2: https://chng.it/JYBKB2dDmB
*Petition 3: https://chng.it/vfCtdNVgWY
*You can also participate by signing in-person at local Esquimalt businesses (please only sign at one location or online, not at multiple location) 😊

History:

❗❓DID YOU KNOW: The plan to reduce vehicle use on our roadways and reduce transit through Esquimalt (via installation of protected bike lanes) was decided by two 30-day surveys (one in 2021, one in 2022), with ONLY a total of 738 participants (from anywhere in Greater Victoria, or beyond) ❓❗

738 people over two 30-day periods... THIS is what is defined as adequate "community engagement" and what cycling advocates call "extensive public consultation". AND, they were not necessarily even residents (voters or taxpayers) in Esquimalt!

THE PETITIONS CAN BEAT 738!
LET'S GO!

These petitions are the easiest way to voice your opposition to the Esquimalt Mayor and Council regarding the loss of roadway use, loss of street parking, and installation of roadway barriers for bike lanes.

Please SHARE this information with anybody you know who has similar sentiment regarding these unfortunate changes happening in our communities!

Thank you for your support in this community ☮️
Dr. Y

P.S. As usual (and as a reminder for those who need to hear this over and over): PLEASE, do not harass any businesses who are supporting these petitions (there are lots of us). Business owners do not like to be compelled to voice their opinions about local politics, but sometimes feel pulled into politics based on decisions made beyond their control which affect their business and their customers. Public attacks and malicious activity are methods used by some members of the public to scare others into silence in order to limit participation in democracy. Business owners are people too. Our opinions on local politics are not a reflection of our ability to provide our business services to the public. Please remember this and be respectful.💙

COMMUNITY NOTICE:

Imagine being so entitled that you believe it is your right to advertise your opinion on someone else's property. (I got the inspiration for this sentence from the note in the picture 😊 )

This is my business and my front door. This is not a place for the "the community" to tape up notes and harass me. You don't have to like my opinions, but you don't get to oppose them like this. My professional title doesn't dictate my opinion on access to parking.

I am also an Esquimalt resident, and my opinion on the matter means no less than anyone else's, including an opposing opinion. But my property is NOT your place to post your opinion.

I have asked more than once for people not to harass businesses about their opinions on the bike lane petitions. Stop. And grow up.

And as a friendly notice for anyone else who doesn't see the the sign in our front window, we have security cameras.

3 Esquimalt petitions are circulating in local businesses. Please stop in, show your support, and sign your name to one or to all of them! (Please do not harass any of the businesses or individuals supporting these petitions)

These petitions give you, the MAJORITY, a voice. Please use the power you have to help the community!

You do NOT have to be an Esquimalt resident to participate. We need ALL the voices we can get.

If you are a business and would like a hard copy to keep at your business counter, please stop in at my business and pick up a copy! If you live in a shared building and you would like to get signatures from your neighbours, please come pick up a copy!

Thank you for supporting your community, and trying to save the community we love.

P.S. If you don't support any of the petitions, thank you for reading anyways! 💙

❗ATTENTION ESQUIMALT ❗

I post this with severe reluctance in drawing attention to myself and my business, as I am aware of the hugely negative impact that my opinion can and will have on a considerable percentage of people who are in opposition to my opinion. To say this in a public space causes me a lot of fear as a business owner and as a resident of Esquimalt, because public spaces can be more mean and disrespectful than any individual you or I would encounter on any normal day of my life. In saying that, I am asking for you, the public, to please be considerate with your responses to this post, and remember that I am a real human who works hard every day to take care of others, most of whom are members in this community too. I have chosen to leave commenting open on my post, despite my reluctance, due to this public issue.

THE ISSUE:
We are losing parking along Esquimalt Road in exchange for bike lanes. This will be happening over the course of this year and next year.

I spoke directly to the engineering department to clarify the plans for the active transportation network, and it has been confirmed that "commercial parking along Esquimalt Road is in conflict with the bike lanes" which will be installed along Esquimalt Road.

This means that the businesses along Esquimalt Road, specifically approaching Admirals/Esquimalt roads will lose ALL commercial parking for our customers. This means LESS accessibility to ALL the businesses here, and ESPECIALLY for those with disabilities (ie. a very large number of my patients).

I am the biggest proponent of an active lifestyle. I talk about it every day. Not one of my patients could deny that. But I don't see a point in operating my business in a commercial area like this, or even continuing to own my business here, if the municipality is making a move to directly impact the accessibility of my business. This is my own opinion, but it can be applied to a lot of other business owners here too. We do not have commercial parking lots at this end of Esquimalt Road, while other areas of Esquimalt Road do (ie Country Grocer plaza, Shoppers Drug Mart Plaza).

Please consider writing to the Esquimalt council to voice any concerns you have about losing commercial parking zones in Esquimalt. If the public has any ideas for gatherings or ways to bring our voices together as a larger group, I would be open to participate. (Unfortunately, I do not have time to put this kind of thing together, but I will do what I can as a participant).

I am an Esquimalt resident and business owner, but my voice as a business owner goes nowhere without the help of the public.

Thank you for reading, and please feel free to comment or share.

Sincerely,
Dr. Carly Youlton
Esquimalt resident and business owner

Can you believe we are already at the end of the first month of 2024! Have you set a healthy routine for yourself so far this year, or are you out of juice already?

Pain, or a general lack of health management, can drain you too. If you haven't taken care of those nagging problems for a while, or you've just become used to living with them, please stop waiting.

I cannot count how many people have told me they'd been dealing with their pain for 2 years, 10 years, even 20 years, until they finally decided to try chiropractic treatment with me.

Even after seeing other health providers with limited success, we can often work together to find ways to bring measured relief to longterm ailments or conditions which haven't been responsive to prior treatment.

Getting better is not because of chiropractic care. It's about the right health provider who fits you, with the right knowledge base, and the right approach to treatment and patient care, AND the patient being an active part of their health. Everyday I try to be that doctor for my patients which is why my treatments are not just the old-fashioned "quick adjustments".

Fill up your battery again by finally getting the right treatment and management solutions for your pain and lifestyle.
