4 Weeks to Wellness

All I can say is WOW! What an amazingly beautiful day it was yesterday. The sun was shining brightly all day and the city was just basking in it's glory! We started our "trek" at The Healing Oasis and like usual walked along Kempenfelt Drive and then back along the old railway tracks.

It's such a beautiful opportunity for us to be able to walk out our driveways and immerse ourselves in fresh air, a clean atmosphere, and such wonderful surroundings - we are really quite lucky to live in such a great city. Clearly, I don't get out enough and enjoy it because every time I do it always amazes me this way.

And that's the reason for our 4 Weeks to Wellness. It's to help people like me who are so caught up in the every day hussle and bustle of "life" that a Sunday morning walk is the only time I can enjoy some peace and a little bit of nature. If you'd like to join me next Sunday I'll be there waiting. :)

I also brought some healthy snacks which I will share the recipe
with you on our facebook page along with some more pictures. See you next time! :)

Yours in health and wellness,

March Break Fun Skate

WOW!! What a fun time we had on Friday evening. Everyone at The Healing Oasis would like to thank our friends and family for coming out and sharing in some fun and light activity.

Not only did we have an amazing ice rink all to ourselves for an hour, we had an entire party room filled with kids and parents and friends...and SNACKS! All of which were a hit!! And we had SO many people ask us for our recipes we thought we'd share them with you to enjoy with your own friends and families. (Look for the recipes in our next blogs.)

We hope everyone had as much fun as we did and we look forward to seeing even more of you at our next client appreciation event....perhaps a summer BBQ!?

To view the entire photo album from our fun skate day simply find us on Facebook and become a fan.

With sincere thanks,

Barrie Skate Day

Enjoying the city of Barrie - the place I've called home for the past 11 years - isn't something I've done much of...until recently. The Healing Oasis wellness center and Cafe of Life Family Chiropractic Studio joined forces and hands and held our first Skate Day at the Holly Community Center.

To call it beautiful would only be skimming the surface of such a wonderful facility that we are privileged to have access to. It was only an hour but we made some great new friends, shared some wonderful laughs, and for me (and most of the other adults I'm sure) laced on a pair of skates for the first time in many, many years.

Having grown up in the North, being on ice was a natural part of my childhood; from figure skating and hockey to drilling holes in it to catch some fish. And when I took those first few tentative steps on the ice I was immediately taken back to those carefree days when life was easy (although I didn't know it at the time!). I watched the young children squealing with delight at trying something new and the sense of freedom on their faces as they glided easily across the surface, and I saw the joy and contentment in their parents' faces as they pushed the little ones around and I thought, "what a wonderful opportunity to share some peaceful, easy feeling moments with some great friends". So here's to the "easy" life and knowing that it can come at any time in any circumstance - it's just "seeing" it that is key.

We hope to see you at our next Skate Day.
