Firstly, I’d like to acknowledge how many of you give me feedback on the newsletter, either through leaving comments online, or during your appointments in the office. I really appreciate all of it! This year, I’d really like to exceed your expectations and make these weekly E-zines more relevant and inspiring to you. So I would like to know, from …
Happy New Year!
It’s interesting to observe that every year at this time, people think about what resolutions they will make for the coming year. And there’s just as much talk, maybe more, about how people will fail than how people will succeed. I can see the point of mustering your will and making goals to achieve dreams, but I wonder if we’re …
Every day miracles
Scientists say that the way that snowflakes form involves water droplets freezing within a cloud. One singular ice crystal then grows from around 100,000 water droplets. Billions of trillions of snowflakes fall during winter. We as Canadians can appreciate this volume since we have to shovel and plow so much snow each year:). What’s really astounding is the symmetrical shapes …
Looking back and looking forward
As we move into winter, it’s time to pause and reflect on the last year and upon where we are in the great scheme of things. Winter can be a time of rest, recharging and reflection. Whether the year has been eventful or boring, whether it has felt overwhelming or productive, whether you find yourself on a trajectory or you …

I know they strive to set the bar higher and higher every time. And I’d like to also thank everyone who attended. But not for the …
On a personal note
In less than a week’s time, we’ll be holding our first Align Adventure here in Ottawa. Many people have expressed interest and have been asking questions. I would like to share some personal notes about Align, in particular, what it is, and what it means to me. In the past, Dr. Joe and I would hold something called Clear Days. …
Is it wrong or right?
Upon reflection, it is I think very often when we suddenly have a pain or symptom (stuffy nose, itchy throat, fatigue etc.) that we immediately think “what’s wrong?” or “what did I do?” I’ll often hear practice members going through a brief list of possible scenarios to explain their, for example, neck pain. “Maybe I slept wrong.”, “Maybe I overdid …

This week I’d like to explore how trauma can lead to growth rather than stagnation. Please click here to listen.
Trauma – Part 2
Last week we started exploring trauma, what it is, how it affects us and how we can heal it. This week, we look further at how we can heal trauma so that we can live our lives more fully, without holding back. I would appreciate your thoughts, questions or feedback.
