Tips for a Healthy Home
While we are mindful about nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods, clean water and activity, consider the health of our homes. The presence of mould and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can cause a myriad of health complaints such as headaches, nausea, respiratory issues, organ and central nervous system damage. Indoor air pollution can be five times higher than outdoor air pollution! The best ways to reduce harmful air quality in our homes are to eliminate mould, prohibit smoking indoors, increase ventilation and ensure home improvement projects use materials with low or no VOCs.

I Hear You
Ensuring effective communication is crucial for valued relationships. Here are five reasons to prioritize a hearing test: 1. Enhanced intimacy and build trust through shared stories. 2. Create lasting memories by actively participating in social gatherings. 3. Improve happiness by avoiding frustration and anger caused by hearing difficulties. 4. Make moments count by eliminating the need for repeated conversations. 5. Demonstrate love by addressing hearing concerns and acknowledging others’ worries. Contact us today for a free consultation and hearing test to strengthen your connections.
Conscious vs Subconscious
We’ve all faced challenges, forgiven, and moved on—at least consciously. But the subconscious mind remembers everything and continues to trigger old reactions, even when we believe we’ve healed. It operates beneath our awareness, shaping our emotions, decisions, and behaviors based on past experiences. True freedom comes from clearing these deep-seated patterns, so they no longer control us. By updating the subconscious, we can finally break free and respond in new, healthier ways. Nick will help you uncover how unresolved issues are still affecting you—and release their hold on the spot, allowing you to move forward with clarity and ease.
Tips from Your Physiotherapist
Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner! It is the time to start planting flowers, veggies, and fruit. Planting and digging in your garden require you to be on the ground and mostly on your knees. Simply using a knee cushion will help take the hard tension off your knees and legs and keep the strain off your back. Always try to take breaks and stand up to give your back a stretch. This will straighten up your spine and prevent your body from being sore and tight the next day. Most importantly, enjoy the sun!

Get your Hearing Checked!
Most people with hearing loss can be helped by daily use of properly chosen and properly fitted hearing aids. Current hearing aid technology is very sophisticated and effective. A trial period of several weeks with hearing aids allows you to experience amplification. Your hearing care professional will coach and explain the process as you go. If you suspect hearing loss, reach out to your local Hearing Care Professional for help with your hearing and have your hearing tested. We recommend that all adults over fifty years of age should have a baseline hearing test. Contact us for a complimentary hearing test and consultation.

Osteopathy: Addressing the Root Cause of IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects digestion, causing bloating, cramping, and irregular bowel movements. Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, identifying underlying dysfunctions rather than just managing symptoms. Gentle hands-on techniques improve gut motility, release fascial restrictions, and enhance nervous system regulation—key factors in digestive health. Osteopaths assess spinal alignment, visceral restrictions, and stress-related tension, which can all contribute to IBS. By restoring balance and reducing inflammation, osteopathy supports long-term relief. If IBS is disrupting your life, consider osteopathy as a natural way to uncover and address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
