Awareness: The Foundation for Happiness & Success

By Alexia Georgousis ND, CPC, Conscious Awareness Coach Emotions are a part of who we are as human beings. They are bundles of energy in motion. The key is to understand emotional energy needs to move through us rather than stay still.  Learning how to feel our emotions, learn from them and let them move through us is an essential life skill. Being emotionally aware is also referred to as waking up or becoming more conscious. More research is also supporting the importance of becoming more consciously aware of our emotions.  According to John Gottman a psychological researcher: “emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships” […]

Choose to BE – How Meditation Helps

By Dr. Alexia Georgousis ND Nearly twenty years ago I had the privilege of seeing the Dalai Lama here in Toronto. Even though I was seated in the nosebleed section, I was amazed at the power of his presence.  Tears spontaneously ran down my cheeks as he walked on stage.  It was as if my heart completely opened and all the hidden walls inside of me melted. I was not alone; the majority of people around me wiped their tears, sitting in silence, eyes fixed on his every movement – and he hadn’t even uttered a word. His opening statement was worth the price of the ticket; “I am just a man” he said. Then shortly there- after; “Don’t try to be a Buddhist. Be yourself.”  Hearing those words felt like I was being wrapped in a warm blanket on an icy cold night. I mention this story because I attribute those simple, wise words of the Dalai Lama to be what encouraged me to continue to practice and study meditation to this day.  I had struggled for years trying different techniques, teachers and styles.  I read extensively on the subject, took courses and even became an Applied Mindfulness Meditation Specialist.  Despite this training I would be frustrated or disappointed that the lasting changes I was hoping for were fleeting. I would still be impulsive at times, anxious, sad or angry, and yet I continued to practice inconsistently and often with reluctance. Then one day something clicked. I began to notice I was struggling with my struggle. For example; judging my meditation practice as either good or bad, having expectations and attachments to a specific outcome or feeling disappointed with not [...]

Allergy Assessment using MORA Bioresonance Therapy

Allergy Assessment using MORA Bioresonance Testing By Dr. Angelina Riopel, ND  Allergies develop when the immune system mistakes a harmless substance like a food, animal dander or pollen as harmful.    “Leaky Gut Syndrome” (LGS) is a common underlying cause of food allergies and sensitivities. LGS is the result of irritation and inflammation of the gut lining, as well as disruption of the microbiome, which is composed of healthy flora within the gut. Irritation and inflammation result from chronic exposure to inflammatory foods, environmental toxins, pesticides, food additives and medication, which also disrupt the microbiome.  The leaky gut lining allows both bacteria and food proteins, that normally do not pass through the gut lining, into the systemic circulation, there they trigger the immune system and are labelled as invaders and allergies and sensitivities develop. […]

FAQs for Infant Care with a Chiropractor in Toronto

With Dr. Jonathan Cartile, DCMChiropractic care for infants is becoming increasingly popular among parents looking for natural ways to support their baby's health. An infant chiropractor can help address common issues like spinal misalignment, colic, and even acid reflux through gentle adjustments. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on ensuring a baby’s nervous system is functioning optimally, promoting better sleep, digestion, and overall well-being. In this blog, we explore the benefits of infant chiropractic treatments and what parents can expect during a visit to a pediatric chiropractor with Dr. Jonathan Cartile.Q1: What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Treatments for Infants and Children?Dr. Cartile: The nervous system is the first to develop in a fetus, and it controls all other systems in the body. As a pediatric chiropractor, I assess the spine to identify any misalignments or subluxations that may affect the nervous system. By addressing these misalignments through gentle pediatric chiropractic care, we can help improve your baby's posture, digestion, sleep, and overall health. Many parents report positive changes in their child’s development after seeking chiropractic care for issues like colic, acid reflux, and fussiness.Q2: How Soon Can a Parent Bring Their Baby In for Treatment?Dr. Cartile: Parents can bring their baby to the chiropractor as early as birth. My youngest patient was my son, just one hour after he was born. Getting a chiropractic adjustment early allows us to check for any spinal misalignments that may have occurred during the birthing process. The sooner we can assess the baby’s spine and nervous system, the sooner we can address any issues, giving your child the best start in life.Q3: What Do You Look at in an Infant Assessment?Dr. Cartile: During an assessment, I check for any signs [...]

How to Build Mental Wellness in Kids

Q&A with Melody Leung, Psychotherapist Q1. What comes to mind when you think of mental wellness for children’? Just like physical wellness, everyone needs to work towards mental wellness too.  Unfortunately, mental wellness isn’t always discussed openly so children haven’t had as much opportunity to learn how to take care of their mental health. Mental wellness represents how we are feeling mentally.  Children who are feeling mentally well are often those that feel confident, are resilient, and satisfied with their lives. […]
