Seems like a good read on a Sunday afternoon between yoga classes.

Very excited for this talk at the Ottawa international Writers’ Festival. Great venue at the National Library and Archives.

Excited to announce that I've been awarded a 2024 Menopause Society scholarship to take their online Menopause 101 course (with accompanying textbook), and sit the exam to become a certified Menopause Society practitioner in June (or October, depending on how the studying goes).

Although I've been doing this work for close to 20 years, I'm looking forward to refreshing my skill set with the most up-to-date and evidence based training in North America. Will be scaling my office hours back a wee bit, but I'll still be in the office 4/5 days/week to provide the same personalized care as I've always been.

Some great ideas for plant-based proteins (cheap too!) from Ottawa Public Health.

Although peace seems further away than ever, hoping and praying that peace, love and food will reach all those who are suffering. Happy Ramadan!

This is a somber with the accelerating humanitarian catastrophes in Gaza, Congo, Ukraine, Haiti and other places in the world primarily harming women, children and the elderly. We need to each do our part to stop the madness! This year, I’m urging my followers to donate to organizations like to care for our suffering fellow humans.

Got my Uresta samples today for my office. These look like a great option for many women suffering from stress incontinence or mild/moderate pelvic prolapse. They don’t have to be fitted in office (the trial kit comes with three common sizes), have clear, understandable instructions for use, and with daily washing with neutral soap and water, can last up to a year. Oh, and they are often covered by extended health with a prescription by me or another provider. Could be game changing for many women!

Great PSA!

If you come across a discarded needle in the community, always keep your health & safety in mind. Your best bet is to call 311 and report the location of the needle.

Diagnostic board finally up! Needed a stud finder but we got it done!! Now, I can do my range of physical exams again in my new space.

Can’t like this post too much!! Pulses are a staple of my diet and one of the healthiest proteins going.

Here’s why we love pulses (beans, lentils and chickpeas): they are inexpensive, easy to store, highly nutritious and they are good for the environment, with a low carbon footprint.

Waiting to hear the maestra of understanding women’s hormones. One who doesn’t mince words or suffer fools gladly. Should be fascinating!

Now that I’m unpacked in my new independent space at Complete Wellbeing, I’ve expanded my hours to five days a week with two evenings. Can also do rapid strep and other tests in house. Paps and vag swabs to screen for BV, Candida and Trich are coming very soon! Link to book in my bio.

Vegan food is so boring…

LOVE my new office- now with my oak desk and fave adjustable chair. And my exam table (out of frame). Warm, welcoming, lots of natural light and no migraine causing fluorescent lights anywhere in the building.

Sneak peek! New office with temp desk- main desk and exam table coming this weekend.

Moving back into a nice, cozy little solo virtual office at 192 Bronson Avenue in Centretown. Physical office is on hold ATM while I find just the right space. As always, seeing patients virtually with high touch, evidence informed ND care.

This just arrived courtesy of my excellent cousin Rick Jenckner in Adelaide, Oz. Hot off the press!
