I'm just realizing it's been 30 years right about now since I left my first--and only--"real" job after university. Where has the time gone?!

Be kind ❤️

We are all going through something right now.

Client QotD (immediately after treatment): "My head always feels clearer after a treatment. It's like, 'Yay, I'm more present in my body!'"

Client QotD: "I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I think you're great. You're just such a sweetheart."*

Particularly lovely to hear as I start back slowly after a few injured weeks.

*When I said that it's not nice to make your OMP cry, they said "Okay, I take it back."

Some of my favourite conversations with clients begin with "I don't know what you did at my last appointment, but" (and then people go on to describe how their condition has improved).

Not to mention, it often feels great!

I just participated in an *amazing* webinar on fascial health (specifically about how changes in estrogen and progesterone during our lifetimes can affect connective tissue). Lots to think about! (If you're interested, you can find more information at the Fascia Research Society).

Client QotD: "I'm amazed that such small movements can make such a big difference!"

Client QotD: "I'm just lying here enjoying being able to breathe again."

Today I had a client who comes in from out of town for treatment tell me that their symptoms are sometimes worse after driving, so I offered to try to find an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (OMP) who would be closer to home for them. They said, "No way! I've been coming to you for almost 25 years!" I thought, well, that can't be right, and so I checked: it's been 17 years and counting! That started me down a rabbit hole.

This month alone I've had the pleasure of treating one client who's been coming on and off for nearly 25 years, four who have been with me for 20 to 25 years, and another handful who are nearing 20 years. Some come for regular "maintenance" appointments and others come and go as they need to (as I've done with *my* OMP for more than 30 years). All the while I've been adding new clients, as I've done every month since I've been in practice (though sometimes it takes longer to whittle down the waiting list than others). "Grateful" doesn't seem adequate enough to explain how I'm feeling today.
