Disability Tax Credit: Combating Inflation
The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a valuable tool in mitigating the impacts of inflation and rising costs of living for individuals with disabilities. By accessing this credit, individuals can receive financial relief that helps them manage their daily expenses. The DTC provides tax breaks for eligible individuals with disabilities, recognizing the additional costs associated with their condition. It offers a means to offset the financial burden imposed by inflation and increasing living expenses, such as medical costs, adaptive equipment, and specialized care. By claiming the DTC, individuals can access much-needed financial support, ensuring their ability to maintain a decent quality of life despite economic challenges.
Discover Your True Authentic Self
The idea of “finding yourself” is often misunderstood. You’re not a lost $10 bill in an old coat pocket. Your true self isn’t missing; it’s hidden beneath cultural conditioning, others’ opinions, and childhood conclusions turned beliefs. As Emily McDowell once said: To truly find yourself, you must return to who you were before the world shaped you—an unlearning, excavation, and remembering. As a coach, I guide clients to become their best selves. Together, we peel back layers, challenge beliefs, and revive forgotten dreams. Let’s embark on this transformative journey, shedding external influences and reconnecting with your authentic essence.

Detecting the Root Cause
Bioresonance therapy is a cause-oriented therapy that allows people to look for and focus on the root causes of illness and disease, giving them a tool to help look after themselves. Illness and disease can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, and even heavy metal exposure. These harmful factors create disturbances in healthy body systems, and Bioresonance therapy can help detect and manipulate such factors to bring the body’s cells back into their natural vibration frequency. Reducing toxin and stress loads on the body can help bring it back to its self-regulating mode for improved healing and repairing ability.
