What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are immersed in soothing sound waves produced using specific instruments like gongs, singing bowls, chimes, and drums. The vibrations from these instruments promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and help balance energy. Our sound baths take place in a tranquil environment where participants lie down and the healing tones, frequencies and vibrations wash over them allowing the mind and body to physically, mentally & emotionally release tension. People report feeling more centered, calm, and rejuvenated after a session, as the harmonic frequencies promote both mental and physical well-being through deep relaxation.
Fall Prevention Month
November is Fall Prevention Month in Canada, highlighting the serious impact of falls on older adults. Falls can cause chronic pain, injury, reduced quality of life, and loss of independence. They are the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits and deaths in seniors, costing Canada $5.6 billion annually. To prevent falls: exercise regularly, get your sight and hearing checked, manage medications, wear proper shoes, and remove hazards at home. Use mobility aids if needed and ensure good lighting. Taking precautions is key to maintaining health and independence as we age.
PEMF: Aiding Recovery in Breast Cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight both prevention and supportive treatments. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is gaining attention for its potential in breast cancer care. While not a cure, PEMF therapy may help ease pain, reduce inflammation, and support tissue healing by enhancing cellular function. Some patients report better sleep and improved energy levels, which are essential during recovery. Always consult your healthcare provider before integrating PEMF therapy into your treatment plan, ensuring it complements conventional cancer treatments for optimal support.

Choosing Your Healing Path
Choosing the right therapy depends on your needs. Crystal Healing Therapy is an ancient practice where crystals are placed on the body’s seven chakras to channel energy, aiming to balance physical, mental, and spiritual health while cleansing negative energy. Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), like Reiki, focuses on releasing trauma and blockages stored in body tissues to address emotional and physical issues. Reiki works by using universal life force energy to realign the body’s chakra centers and spiritual auric field, promoting overall balance and aiding those with chronic illnesses. Each approach offers unique benefits based on individual healing needs.
Consuming Too Much Salt?

Explore our Low Sodium Diet Code meals to find tasty choices that help you maintain a healthier lifestyle. Consult your doctor to determine the right amount of sodium for you, especially if you have a health condition or are taking medications that affect sodium levels.
Healthy Guts in Pets
When pets are young, it is important that the gut barrier be strengthened. Young animals are born with leaky or open guts. This allows absorption of immune system proteins from their mothers’ milk that will protect them from disease. Young pets always need deworming, and sometimes prescriptions, to kill off parasites. The gut remains slightly open to protein absorption throughout life, and so veterinarians use an animal’s excrement to judge and manage reactivities to different foods. Healthy excrement is usually firm, unless the animal is dehydrated. Always consult your veterinarian for the best strengthening programs and medications for your young pets.
