Posted • Fundraiser Alert🚨 ! This Friday my buddy and I will be riding "The Big Loop" in Victoria on our gravel bikes to fundraise money for the Monks of Chiwong Monastery.

These guys took me in while I was stranded in the Himalayas in the spring of 2020 when the World went into Lockdown. Back then $3828 CAD was raised via an Everesting ride to help build a dry house as they currently had no where to dry their clothes. That Dry House is now under construction, and they need a bit more help to finish it off before Monsoon hits this June. The goal is another $3000 CAD, this will finish off the dry house, and will add a hot shower and washer machine to the project 🧱 .

Lets help these guys out as it's important to have a place to dry your clothes when you live off a cliff side at 2950 meters in the Himalayas 🏔 ...

Easier said then done.
We can give away our mental clarity and contentment for such minor things. A big shift can occur once we ‘pick our battles’ and are selective of what we give ourselves away for. It all starts with mindfulness.

Feels like just yesterday that there was snow on the ground but HERE COMES SPRING!

The sunny days feel incredible but remember- this is Victoria and the temperatures can be SNEAKY. Wear a scarf and bring an extra layer to keep those cold inducing chills away. 🥶 🌬 ☀️

NEW BLOG POST!

"Bite Sized Resolutions": January is often the time for grandiose, ‘life changing’ get sh*t done resolutions. Who else hasn’t taken time at the end of a typical December and excitedly, albeit optimistically, written down all the big ‘to do’ plans for the new year? And how have those gone as time has passed? How do these resolutions hold up when spring rolls around? Now, let’s throw a pandemic into that dynamic. In this post I explore setting New Year's resolutions during unprecedented times and tools to keep a steady foundation. Thanks for reading!

Just think - This medicine was formulated at a time when there were no lab tests, dissections, or imaging. The more I study and practice of this medicine the more I see its different words for the same things and many of these things modern science is just slowly catching up to now.

Repost from :
Nowadays we are in a collective freeze mode & it is important to practice self-compassion as well as appreciating that we are not only feeling this in our internal landscape, but this is in fact a global feeling+phenomenon 😥
During times like this, prioritize how you utilize your limited energy & resources. Also understand that we are entering a seasonal change where we are departing from the balmy, bright, but strange days of a pandemic summer & transitioning into the cooler, damper, gradually darkening days of a pandemic autumn 🌧🌅🍂
Dress warmly, feed yourselves & loved ones nourishing foods & get enough sleep to protect your immunity. And yes, if you are struggling, that acupuncture is a gentle way to keep your heart open, regulate your nervous system & move that stagnant, worried qi of yours 💗💗💗

Posture is not easy...
Remember, a little bit goes a long way. With posture our body gets into habit like patterns and finds ways to support itself in those positions even if it’s out of balance or not good for us. With many working from home and not having supportive chairs this has become a theme lately. One hack I love for encouraging healthy posture is to sit with the sit bones towards the front of the chair, removing the propensity to have the pelvis pitch backwards with causes a strong slouch in the upper back. By sitting with the sit bones forward on the chair it stacks the pelvis and each vertebrae over each other. This removes the strain from the smaller muscle groups and into the skeleton. Initially it will be tiring, don’t worry, the muscles will strengthen.

“Black and white selfies. It isn’t just a game of hot or not. Or an exercise in vanity. It is not just a mindless challenge that women are undertaking to post their sexiest snaps. These are some of the criticisms that this has faced. It is a very serious gesture of defiance in support of the Turkish Women (Turkey has one of the highest femicide rate), in support of Pinar Gultekin who was killed in the most violent manner, in support of every woman who has felt threatened and unsafe. This is show of solidarity to say that we stand together, we are unafraid, we are fed up of the lack of accountability for the perpetrators. This was started by Turkish women to say that they are appalled by the Turkish govt decision to withdraw from the Isanbul convention much like Poland. This is to say that no woman stands alone, we deserve to take up space, we are all This is not just performative, this is hopefully not just tokenistic, this is for PINAR GULTEKIN, a woman of colour. Say her name!!” Caption
Thanks to and for the nomination

Our Story

I'm am passionate about the optimization of ones experience within their body. These bodies are our carriers through our days and we are within them constantly, There is not a moment that we are not apart of and receiving feed back from our body experience whether or not our mind is engaged in it. So many things contribute to the state of our beings- stress, digestion, sleep, pain, you name it.

​My approach to treatment is inspired by a blend of techniques based in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Meridian theories, Qi Gong, and modern day fascial orthopaedics theories. I have particular interest in treating pain, chronic issues, gynaecological symptoms, digestion, and mental health.

​With the use of a combination of acupuncture and bodywork, I work to get to a place where the client is seeing me purely for maintenance. Through education, life style adjustments, take home diet therapy and movement exercises, I strive to create a relationship of patient empowerment within their health.
