Become the CEO of Your Health

🚐💜 THE REMS ROAD TRIP OFFICIALLY BEGINS!

This one feels pretty special.

We are thrilled to announce the very first stop of the Wallis for Wellness — Beyond Your Scan Experience REMS Road Trip:

📍 Exeter Massage & Integrative Care
📅 October 5, 2026

And I truly can’t imagine a better place or person—to begin this journey with.

Stephanie VandenBussche, founder of Exeter Massage & Integrative Care, is not only a talented and passionate Registered Massage Therapist. She is a friend, colleague, PHAMbassador and an award-winning leader who shares a belief that has driven my work for years:

Everyday people deserve the education, tools and support to become the CEO of their health.

This is exactly what the REMS Road Trip is about bringing proactive bone health assessment and education directly into communities, and making sure the experience doesn’t end when the scan does.

We are incredibly excited to bring the Beyond Your Scan Experience to Stephanie’s practice and the Exeter community and judging by the appointments already booked, Exeter is ready for us! 💜

Booking is officially OPEN.

Scan the QR code above or call 647-577-4757 to secure your appointment.

🚐 Exeter, you’re our FIRST STOP. Let’s hit the road.

One community at a time. One empowered person at a time. Together, we can help change the legacy of healthcare in Canada.

Maybe a comeback isn’t about going back at all.
Maybe it’s about becoming who you need to be for what comes next.

On this rainy last day of August, that feels especially true.

Sometimes we spend so much energy trying to keep a door open with our foot wedged firmly in it because of fear or letting it close feels like failure.

But what if closing it is actually courage?

Because something remarkable can happen when we finally let go:

Space appears.
New pathways emerge.
People/community show up.
Possibilities we couldn’t have anticipated begin to unfold.

This summer, I’ve had my head down doing the work. Building, questioning, refining, doubting, believing, starting again and yes, wrestling with that familiar little voice asking, “Who do you think you are to do this?”

It hasn’t all been easy and I don’t want to pretend it has.

But today, sweaty after Day 1 of a workout appropriately called Made for Comebacks, I’m sitting with enormous gratitude for what hard seasons can teach us.

We don’t train because life will always be easy.

We train for life.

For resilience.
For the unexpected.
For the bumps and detours.
For the courage to get back up.

And perhaps most importantly, we learn that having an incredible community at our back doesn’t replace having our own back, too.

As September begins, I’m more excited than ever about what we’ve been quietly building and what is about to come to life.

But today isn’t really about my next chapter.

It’s about yours.

What door are you exhausting yourself trying to keep open?

What are you not doing because you don’t feel ready, worthy or capable?

Maybe your next season doesn’t require more certainty.

Maybe it just requires one courageous next step.

Do the work.
Build the foundation.
Find your people.
Have your own back.

And when it’s time…

let the damn door close! ❤️

You might be astonished by what opens next.

What are you doing today to become the CEO of your health and your life? Comment below as that is what being a part of our PHAMily is all about! We are here to breathe belief into you when you don't believe in yourself.

Part Time Contract Position

Diagnostic Medical Sonographer | Become a REMS Bone Health Clinician

Not just another sonography role.

What if your next opportunity wasn't simply about performing scans?

What if it gave you the chance to help shape the future of preventative musculoskeletal healthcare in Canada?

At Wallis for Wellness, we're looking for an exceptional Diagnostic Medical Sonographer to become part of our innovative Beyond Your Scan Experience—a collaborative model combining advanced REMS technology, patient education, lifestyle medicine, and interdisciplinary healthcare to help Canadians take ownership of their bone and musculoskeletal health.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

✔ Collaborate with physicians, physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, pharmacists, kinesiologists, dietitians, exercise professionals, and other healthcare professionals who believe prevention begins with education, collaboration, and empowering patients.

We're looking for someone who believes that education is just as important as technology, loves creating exceptional patient experiences, and wants to help build something meaningful from the ground up.

We're not simply building a team.

We're building a movement.

If you're passionate about innovation, prevention, collaboration, and empowering people to become the CEO of their health, we'd love to hear from you.

The Body Doesn't Know Your Job Title.

One of the most important leadership lessons I've learned in 34 years as both a healthcare practitioner and entrepreneur is this:

The body keeps score.

In my latest LinkedIN article in my Leadership Recovery Gap series, I explore the research behind the leadership "double bind" many women face, the hidden health costs of leadership pressure, and why the future of leadership isn't just about developing stronger leaders, it's about developing healthier ones.

If you're a leader, entrepreneur, healthcare professional, or someone carrying more than most people realize, I think this conversation matters.

Read the article below. 👇

For more than three decades, I have had the privilege of viewing leadership through two very different lenses. The first is as a healthcare practitioner.

Confidence isn't what most people think it is.

"The people you admire most aren't necessarily more confident than you. They've simply learned to move forward before they feel ready."

Confidence isn't being fearless.
It's not having all the answers.
It's not perfection.

Confidence is taking the next step anyway.
It's failing forward, learning, growing, and trusting yourself along the way.

In my latest blog, I explore the biggest myth about confidence and what the science tells us about how confidence is actually built.

💜 Read it here:

I'd love to hear from you:

What has helped build your confidence over the years?

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about confidence. Not because I've suddenly figured it out. Quite the opposite. The more people I meet, the more successful individuals I interview, and the more conversations I have with healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and everyday people, the more...

🚗✨ The day is finally here!

REMS On The Road is one way to help bring this innovative bone health technology to more Canadians and make preventative health assessments more accessible to the communities we serve.

But none of this is possible without the collaboration of clinics and wellness partners who recognize the importance of prevention, education, and empowering people to become the CEO of their health.

A heartfelt thank you to Lisa and the incredible team at The Healing Nook for sharing that vision and helping bring REMS to the Smiths Falls community.

We’re excited to connect with you, answer your questions, and help you better understand your bone and muscle health so you can make informed decisions about your future health.

📍 Smiths Falls — we’re coming your way!

See you soon! 💙

Because prevention isn’t something we do to people, it’s something we empower people to participate in.

At The Healing Nook, we believe that healthy humans help create healthier families. Healthier families create stronger communities. Stronger communities means we ALL flourish! 😊

This is one reason we're excited to bring REMS on the Road, from Osteosound, to The Healing Nook on Tuesday June 2nd, for our first Scan & Stretch Day!

IMPORTANT ➡Recent changes to OHIP-funded bone density testing in Ontario have made access more challenging for many people, with stricter eligibility criteria and some individuals finding they no longer qualify for funded testing when they expected to. This can leave people waiting, uncertain, or feeling like they have fewer options for proactively monitoring their bone health.

A REMS bone scan offers an opportunity to learn more about your bone health without needing to meet OHIP funding criteria. It uses Ultrasound and Radio Frequency technology, involves NO radiation exposure, and can help provide information that supports a more proactive approach to wellness.

➡ Healthy bones and joints work together with healthy muscles and fascia. Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) is designed to support mobility, flexibility, joint function, and how your body moves and feels day to day. When the body moves better, we often feel better...and supporting movement can be an important part of a proactive wellness lifestyle.

To give our community an opportunity to experience FST firsthand, 15 minute mini Fascia Stretch Therapy sessions will be available on the same day as the REMS bone scan appointments. What a perfect chance to explore another wellness approach and feel what FST is all about.

Empowered Wellness isn't about waiting for something to happen. It's about understanding your body now, making informed choices for the future and taking your wellness into your very own hands (notice The Healing Nook logo? 😉😉)

Let's keep building a community that THRIVES...we are better together.🫶

Sometimes prevention whispers before it screams. 💜When PHAMbassador , yoga instructor, super connector, and beautiful human inside and out sat down at the PHAMCAST table, she shared how her Apple Watch alerted her to a heart issue she had no idea was happening.That awareness changed everything.Today, Renee and I are attending a Eldoa workshop hosted by fellow PHAMbassador and brilliant cardiologist & functional medicine doctor, is such a powerful reminder of what happens when community, self-leadership, prevention, and collaboration come together.This is the ripple effect of women working better together.Real conversations. Real awareness. Real life-changing outcomes.
