For my American friends. I'm not sure if petitions really work, but it gets the info out there. Glyphosate should not be used in a health conscious society.

Sign the petition to ban glyphosate: tinyurl.com/BanGlyphosateNow

A very disturbing, newly published scientific review brings together research that has found glyphosate causes intestinal and other damage linked to systemic diseases such as Crohns and Alzheimers. It's no wonder the incidence of these systemic diseases has reached epidemic proportion.

It has become nearly impossible to avoid foods that contain glyphosate. Eating clean is like a full-time job these days. (We feel your pain.) The time to ban glyphosate is NOW. Sign the petition to the EPA, telling them that the evidence of health harm is overwhelming. They must step up and BAN GLYPHOSATE.

Sign the petition: tinyurl.com/BanGlyphosateNow

What is going on for you in your body is not necessarily 'set in stone' as you may have been told. When people blame things on genetics, it's just that, they're blaming something else because they don't know how to help you.

You may not be stuck with what you have.

Check out the possibility of cleaning up your health and see where that may take you.

"Laying on her bed, blanketed I felt warm and safe. Listening to her explain in brief what she was going to do and asking for consent to touch me and access my mind and heart. Instantly she built a rapport of trust and comfort allowing me to easily let go and melt into the procedure body mind and soul.

Soothing music played to ease me into a mode of meditation. Her lightly pressured touches created areas of focus and the ability to release the tensions I wasn't even aware I was carrying in those areas. I slipped touch by touch into a state of euphoric bliss. The sensations eleviating my troubles and worries, leaving them behind as I felt as if I were floating. A true out of body experience yet I was more in my body than I've been in years. All my senses heightened, basking in her peaceful ambience. Feeling her shifting my energys guiding them to a brighter space, a higher altitude. Behind my eyes, although the room was dimly lit, I could see bright lights. Like rays of sunshine through a thickly leafed forested canopy. Within myself, thoughts of everything and everyone I care about the most flashed at me, I think revealing to me what's at my core, where I derive my strength from. I got to indulge in the happiness those people and those thoughts provide me and letting that inner calm settle within me.

My breathing slowed and I was transported into another realm of relaxation and surrender.

There I remained for the session, whilst Daniella used her skilled hands to find my areas of restriction and work her magic.

Upon transitioning me out of my euphoric trance, Daniella gently guided me back allowing me time to come back to myself. It took more time than I thought as I must have transported much further than I envisioned. My brain fuzzy and light. My body tingling and revived.

I found this form of treatment very spiritually effective in finding my center again. It also has many other benefits all of which you can easily look up or ask Daniella for more information on.

I highly recommend trying a session and seeing where it takes you!
Thank you Daniella!" ~ Zan

It truly does matter what you choose to put in your body. Food either builds you up or contributes to the breaking down of the body. Whole food provides nutrients the body needs that are in the natural proportion to each other, supporting the digestion and absorption in the body. It also has it's own energy or "life force" that is alive.

When food is refined or processed it loses so much, if not all, of this goodness. When it even loses just some, then you don't have the symmetry and the effects of the nutrients all working together for your health and lacks the same energy as the original.

When food is enriched to try to solve this problem of lacking nutrients from processing, you receive synthetic nutrients that the body doesn't accept the same. You also only get a sprinkle of the nutrients that have been depleted and they don't have the energy of the original alive food. This does not solve the problem.

There is no replacement for living whole foods.

Let me help you on your health journey.

“The doctor of the future will give no medication but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” – Thomas A. Edison

“Where there is mental illness, there is poor diet. Where there is mental illness, there is a long history of digestive problems.” – Dr. Leslie Korn

Nutrition truly matters, as it affects mental health, with poor nutrition leading to mental illness or making it worse.

A high fat diet of bad trans or hydrogenated fats is associated with reduced diversity of microbiome and increased anxiety.

High stress can also adversely affect the gut and microflora, inhibiting nutrient absorption and digestive function, setting the scene for mental health illness.

While in fight, flight, or freeze state, the blood vessels contract, restrict oxygen delivery, and reduce digestive function.

Antibiotic use, caffeine-based stimulants, prescription drugs, deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, blood sugar imbalances, a stressed or dysfunctional liver, and inflammation are all associated with anxiety.

Overly processed foods are loaded with chemicals and synthetic preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, and food colouring that are known to alter mood, in addition to not providing the nutrients that the brain and body need to function well.
Eat a healthy whole foods organic diet with lots of fibre rich staples, as well as probiotic, and prebiotic foods. Cook with herbs and take pleasure in herbal teas.
Anything you think that is not helping you replace with a healthier substitute, there are options!

Reflexology Therapy can positively effect mental health due to its impact on the nervous system, blood circulation throughout the body, elimination of toxins, boosting metabolism, and boosting endorphin production. Reflexology restores mental alertness and improves the attention span. By reducing tensions and calming the mind, it is easier to think freely, come up with best ideas, and work longer and with greater clarity while doing difficult tasks, thus stimulating creativity and productivity.

Stimulating the nerves, opening neural pathways, and helping to improve the functionality and flexibility of nerves and other cells in the body not only induces a state of calm throughout the body and mind, assisting with anxiety and ADHD, it also allows for information to flow much faster and more effectively to the brain, which helps one to have faster cognitive function, improved physical reactions, and boosts memory. This also helps to improve sleep disorders such as insomnia and helps the body to attain balanced, healthy circadian rhythms.

The most well-known benefit of Reflexology Therapy is an improvement in the flow of blood circulation throughout the body. This means that oxygen gets cycled and delivered more efficiently to the brain and the vital organ systems, which function more optimally. This is important for all the body systems, as a low functioning area will negatively impact the brain. The increase in oxygen also has a positive impact on the body’s healing and ability to grow new cells.

Improved circulation also leads to better efficiency of the body to eliminate toxins and wastes. In our ever-present stressful world there are more environmental toxins than ever before. Some, we have no way of controlling, so having assistance with helping the body in this function is incredibly important. When toxins and wastes are managed appropriately, the body is able to work more efficiently.

Craniosacral Therapy works closely with the nervous system, helping to balance the autonomic nervous system, allowing the body to come out of the perpetual state of fight, flight, or freeze that most people are in with the constant pressures of today’s society. This permits the body to, not only relax and rest, but to heal, digest, and allow all the systems to come into the state of homeostasis that it’s always striving for. It clears imbalances in the head, increasing the flow of fluids in and amongst the brain cells, allowing them to receive proper nutrients and to eliminate toxins and wastes.

This calming of the nervous system and improved fluid flow helps reduce inflammation, clears thinking function, reduces pain and tension symptoms, all helping to alleviate anxiety.

Roughly 20% of Canadians deal with chronic pain.

Chronic pain is unique to each person, often misunderstood, and difficult to treat or provide relief for. It ranges from mild tissue irritation to intense whole-body pain that can affect the psyche and quality of life.

The pain perception is often held by body tissues after the original cause has healed. This triggers the body to compensate, creating issues in other parts of the body, which then can mask the root cause of the chronic pain.

The causes are many, from birth disorders to musculoskeletal imbalance, to surgery, trauma, and infection to overuse, disuse, and misuse. The commonality is the irritation of nerve cell endings that is interpreted as pain.

The body responds to the root cause of the pain or to the pain itself by creating further issues and imbalances in the body.

Holistic Nutrition & Wellness - The Body's White Knight

Your immune system isn’t a group of organs or in a specific place of the body, but rather everywhere, even behind your knees! It doesn’t get much notice or thanks for the invaluable work it does. Maintaining a properly functioning immune system is what allows you to attain and maintain true health.

What is the immune system? It’s the first line of defense to protect your body from infection and disease. In short, it’s like a white knight from within identifying those things that belong in your body and those things that don’t and must be destroyed, like an evil dragon. The stronger the force of your white knight, the stronger you are.

A major part of your immune system is the lymphatic system, functioning as a pathway for the immune cells and for the elimination of toxins and wastes. An even larger part is the gut! 80% of your immune system is in the gut. The beneficial gut bacteria are like little marching soldiers who play a large role in immune function, regulating your immunity throughout life.

When your white knight can’t do its job, neither can the soldiers nor the lymphatic pathway. This is when you may feel fatigued, have repeated infections, inflammation, pain, arthritis, or have diarrhea often.

There is a long list of suppressors of the immune system and even more lists of things you can do to boost your immunity or reverse a weakened white knight.

A couple common suppressors are stress and lack of sleep. Many people are busy all day running around accomplishing daily tasks for family, friends, a job, volunteering, taking care of pets, the house, and the car that you forget to slow down and take a breath. You don’t realize all this constant activity is a strain to your body, but it adds up. When you’re constantly in high gear, it wears on your loyal white knight who needs a break too and it gets in the way of a restful night’s sleep.

For the body to be able to heal or do any work, it can't be in a stressed state.

Allow me to help you experience such deep relaxation that the body remembers it's own ability to self-correct.
