While movement is imperative to sustainable health, how you move also matters. Our bodies are absolutely meant to move in so many different ways. As we age, it becomes vitally important to consciously use our joints and spine in ways that better fit their design. This helps prevent undue stress (wear and tear) and maximizes your ability to move well for a very long time.

Though we all benefit from regulatory oversight that ensures high quality natural health products, increasing fees on Natural Health Products is expected to significantly increase the cost of NHPs for the consumer. It’s very possible that these increased costs will put our smaller suppliers out of business entirely (while the larger manufacturers and distributors like Nestle, remain).
If you’re unable to attend scheduled group breathing classes, or would prefer a focused one-on-one assessment of your breathing concern, please schedule an appointment with Christine and be clear with our reception staff that this appointment is for a breathing assessment.
