This Festival Heightens the Human Journey
The Alchemy of Gathering wellness and spirituality festival will focus on gathering in the community to share ideas on wellness, connection, creativity, healing modalities, and more. The Alchemy of Gathering offers an array of experiences to further and heighten the human journey. Set in the Sunset Gardens at Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens, attendees can expect over 40 exhibitors with products and services, six different interactive stations, and live music on stage throughout the event. In the barn, 10 wellness workshops will be presented on both days. Also, experience the Ocean Labyrinth, food trucks, and 24 acres of woodlands to wander through.
Let’s Celebrate Summer
Summer is here, and we are ready! It is a time to celebrate the joy of being alive and the pleasure of gathering with friends. Is there something holding you back from really celebrating? Are you ready to release a few pounds? When you release trapped emotions around food, the result is a lower number on your scale. A Certified Body/Emotion Code Practitioner can help you release those negative emotions that cause you to eat unhealthy foods. Call today for an appointment and make it your best summer yet.
Fundraisers for Local Seniors

If you or a senior you know could use our assistance, please contact us. Thank you!
Be Kind to Yourself
Silencing your inner critic takes time and practice, especially if yours has been taking centre stage. Maryse Cardin, author and motivational speaker from www.selftalklove.com, talks about how it is important to stop and take notice of what we are telling ourselves. Is what you’re saying encouraging, complimentary, or something you would say to your loved ones? If not, it’s time to turn the station and “switch the song.” Remember a happy time in your life. A time that fills you with joy. Maryse indicates that when we stop catastrophizing and instead tell ourselves what we are grateful for, we can soothe our systems.
Whole Body Wellness
Super Patch technology uses a special pattern to help you go from feeling blah to HUZZAH! When your skin comes in contact with the Super Patch ridge pattern, it triggers a response in the brain’s neural networks that helps you tackle your daily problems, head-on. The brain and nervous system processes that stimulation and a waterfall of wellness responses happen, from more energy to enhanced balance and quality of life. The effect is immediate, so you focus less on overcoming life challenges and more on living a happier, healthier life. The patches are designed to be safe and easy-to-use, every single day.
Selling a House
“I need to sell for more than it’s worth because I need the money.” Everyone deserves to get top dollar on the sale of their home, but some seek more for various reasons. Moving to an expensive retirement home, moving to a pricier area, and having to pay off debt. But does your buyer care? Buyers pay what they feel the house is worth (often trying for less) and won’t pay more just to help out a seller. Even if they did, a bank appraisal would likely prevent a sale. Would you pay more because the seller needs it?
Dentures & the Canadian Dental Care Plan
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), Canada’s Universal Dental Care Plan, began on May 1st. At this moment, we are prioritizing patients seeking complete dentures, as the finer details of the plan are not yet fully clarified. For those considering partial dentures under the plan, we ask for patience until November. Specific coverage details vary based on individual circumstances, making it challenging to provide exact information to inquiring patients. Nonetheless, the plan aims to support many Canadians without private dental insurance. If you’re interested in discussing full denture replacement, please reach out for tailored information on your denture needs.

Managing Isn’t Living
“Isn’t it nice to go visit Dad? I wish I could see him more, but he seems to be managing.” What does managing look like to a senior? They manage to get up, get dressed, and get fed. They manage emails and telephone calls. How many of us equate managing with living? Comfort Keepers say ‘NO’ to senior isolation and loneliness through our companionship program. CK provides a FREE in-home assessment where we match personalities and provide companionship and confidence to your loved one so they may go back to doing what brings them joy.
