June Wellness News

Since March 2020 the world has been committed to one main subject, one that we will refrain from mentioning as I think we are all tiring of this topic! suffice it to say that the worldwide disturbance has increased our awareness of all things health: from the physical through how best to support our immunity, to mental health and how it was both positively and negatively impacted as we toed the fine line between enjoying a slowed pace and feeling the heaviness that came with isolation. Spiritually our health was also challenged as many felt comfort in surrendering to a higher power while others questioned what force would allow such massive heartache, and sometimes we felt both simultaneously. We are so grateful to have been in a position, and continue to be, that can provide support to our community through the services we provide and being able to assist you with all aspects of your health.

We hope that through our monthly newsletters with their high quality health news, tips, research and recipes as well as through the wide variety of services we offer: Naturopathic Medicine, Acupuncture, Reiki, Massage Therapy, Counseling, Somatic Experiencing and soon Craniosacral Therapy and Holistic Esthetics (read on for more info on these!) not to mention a retail location for top quality natural health products, we have come to be a place you can rely on to support you no matter what your health needs and goals.

Thanks for being an integral part in our success as your number one choice for integrative health care in Regina!

Thank you for your support of our Naturopathic Medicine Week 2021 Virtual Open House that took place via zoom on May 20th! Drs. Brittany, Julie and Michelle hosted the event on behalf of our team of NDs at Prairie Sky, and all NDs in the province and country! We all agree that the Naturopathic Medicine Principle: Docere (Doctor as Teacher) is not only one of our principles of practice but also a key therapeutic modality: education and empowerment! The open house ,was a great opportunity to engage

in lively discussion about our profession and to answer questions from: What are the top supplements you recommend for overall health? (unanimously Magnesium, Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids came out on top) to What do you suggest for sleep? (from well-steeped chamomile tea to powerful yet safe nervines like passionflower, lemon balm and skullcap) We also passed out some of our favorite recipes so we wanted to pass them on to all of you, they include many refreshing summer treats. All easy to make, nutritious and super delicious.
Watch for upcoming community events come fall! Thanks again for your support of Naturopathic Medicine!
