Early morning (545) paddle with my bro ๐ I love coming out on the lake to reconnect with myself and take in some great breaths. I find being out in nature, everything seems to drop away and what is most important comes back to the forefront. Less distractions, more animals and birds ๐ฆ especially eagles on this day and time to process what is coming next. If youโre interested in coming out for a paddle with me, DM me and we can set up a time and place to meet. No SuP? No problem. ๐ ๐ฒ ๐ We canโt stop the waves, but we can learn to surf! ๐โโ๏ธ Youโve got this! #suplife #cowichanvalley #shawniganlakelife #vancouverisland #youvegotthis #fillingmycup #lifeistheadventure #justbreathe #paddleboarding #paddlelife #pnwcollective #cobblehill #trailsforall

Pain, anxiety, digestive upsets - these are just a few of the things acupuncture can help with - I still have some availability before the end of the year is up if youโre struggling to find a health practitioner locally.

I didn't have to travel far to photograph Ava Ference and her dad former NHLer Andrew at Shawnigan Lake School for a sports series in @globeandmail this week.
Shawnigan Lakers or is it Shawnigonians? How about affordable alternative healthcare ?! - Iโm thrilled to announce a year long project to get together a space I can provide acupuncture on a sliding scale is coming to its final stages - for the last part I need your help- what time works best for you? Drop me a message or in the comments! For those of you who donโt know what community acupuncture is - itโs acupuncture done in an open space with other people - if youโve gone to a busy physio or Chiro clinic they often have a similar set up! This is a great thing to try as a group of friends, your sports team or solo! Please send me a message if you have any questions! #acupuncture #acupuncturist #shawnigan #shawniganlake #shawniganlakebc #shawniganlakelife #malahat #duncan #cowichan #cowichanvalleyevents #cowichanvalley #cowichanbay #millbaybc
