Do you have a liver that needs soothing? If you feel irritable and angry you probably do.

😣Pain/discomfort
😖Migraine headaches
😫Tight neck/shoulders
🫢Digestive issues

If this is you in a nutshell, come and try a few acupuncture treatments with me and let me relax your body, mind and spirit.

Book online or reach out if you have questions…and YES I treat men too!!! https://womenshealthcentre.janeapp.com

(Ps the noise you hear part way through is my puppy jumping up on my pilates reformer:))

Contemplating life among the cherry blossoms 🌸 Harry and I had a nice walk today around Robarts UofT

These beautiful and special flowers arrive in the spring in Toronto, inspiring growth and renewal.

How can you feel better this spring?

🌱Get out into nature to nurture your liver’s energy, to move your qi and clear out the waste.

💧hydrate well to moisten your sinews and reduce caffeine to support a calmer nervous system.

🥦Green veg supports detox pathways in the liver and provides great fiber for your p**p! (Steam, quick cook or in a soup)

Come in for some acupuncture for some added support. https://womenshealthcentre.ca

See you soon,
🤗Cindy

I am so grateful to have learnt the work of Joseph Pilates from teachers who learnt from him and the students that followed after.

As a third generation teacher with 20 years of experience, I use his work to help people move better, stay vital and strong and recover from pain and illness.

The “classical” pilates work is not always accessible to those who have chronic pain, a compromised spine, is pregnant or has replacement parts…so adaptation is important.

But it’s important to know the depth of the work and his intentions behind each exercise before modifying the action.

This always informs my approach to teaching the work. What is the purpose of the exercise and what do I need to teach the client so they can perform it well?

I think there’s a bit of a misnomer that the classical work was only taught one way. In fact, Joe taught his work to so many diverse individuals that included singers, dancers, actors, acrobats and artists. So an exercise he created for one person may have been adjusted for another, depending on their abilities and activities they did.

That’s why you get a few variations of the “classical” work.

The most important thing when searching for a pilates studio is finding a teacher who will teach you how to move your body with the right intention…not just teach you an exercise.

WHOLE BODY HEALTH, a term used by Joseph Pilates, is always part of any treatment or movement plan.

👉are you moving your body regularly?
👉🏿how’s your energy and digestion?
👉🏾what tools are you using to manage stress?
👉🏼do you have support at home and a social network?

😩Chronic pain may be a sign that you need to think broader about your healthcare needs.

❤️‍🩹Selfcare shouldn’t be optional it should be your norm.

Come in for some acupuncture treatment and let’s talk about your whole body’s health. Together we can figure out the pieces that may help you feel whole again. https://womenshealthcentre.janeapp.com

Wishing you a wonderful Monday!
