When we have some sort of pain or discomfort what do we typically do? For many of us, our first step is to make an appointment to see our family doctor, where we seek relief through prescription medication. Sometimes, this course of action is effective in the beginning. However, depending on the severity of the […]
Yay! Today’s a holiday in Canada which means ‘we get a long weekend.’ But, it’s more than that as it’s Thanksgiving Day or Jour de l’action de grace. In Canada, this holiday began in 1879 when it was celebrated at unfixed times but generally in late October or early November. In 1957, it was decided […]
Happy October! As of today, October 1st, I’m practicing reflexology at Calgary Sports and Health Performance or CSHP located on the 4th floor at 640 6th Ave SW, and no longer at The Market on Macleod. I’m here Wednesdays, Thursdays and every second Saturday (starting October 13, 2018); see details below. You’ll still be able to book […]
After a 2 week break we’re back again with our international family dinners. Last night’s country was Sweden, and no we did not eat Swedish meatballs! Instead of meatballs, we started with an appetizer of small open-faced rye bread sandwiches with sweet and curried herring served with lots of onion and dill. Our main course […]
September 24th to 30th 2018 is World Reflexology Week, #wrw2018, a perfect occasion to celebrate all the healthy and restorative benefits that reflexology has to offer.

Today’s post is a lighthearted yet educational one on all sorts of fun facts about our feet. About our foot’s anatomy: The foot bones are composed of 3 sections: the toes or phalanges; the long bones in the middle or metatarsals; and the third section, known as the ankle bones or tarsals. There are 14 […]
Well, maybe not an official Around the World Tuesday! Rene and I are just back from a wonderful and relaxing 2 day stay at our friends’ cabin in Wilmer, just a few km from Invermere BC and overlooking Windemere Lake. The trees have just started to turn, and the colours are spectacular. The weather was glorious, so […]
Another fun family dinner was had by all last night. This week’s international menu came from the Cook Islands in the South Pacific Ocean between French Polynesia and American Samoa. The fifteen-island country is self governing and has a free association with New Zealand. With a combined land mass of just 92 square miles (or […]
Hi everyone! Yesterday’s destination was Jersey, a part of The Channel Islands. Sitting on the bay of Malo 22 Km from the French coast and 137 Km south of the English coast, Jersey is a British Crown Dependency with a population of about 100,000. This week was Demi and Mitch’s turn to cook, and for their menu they chose to […]
Hello! Did you all have a wonderful summer, with the warmer than usual weather? I know I did, and I hope you did too. I want to make sure you all know that the Market on Macleod is closing at the end of September. This means that I must vacate my practice here on Macleod and […]
As I mentioned earlier, our latest Tuesday night dinner was a birthday celebration for our now 24-year-old. (Where does the time go?!) It was a wonderful family dinner, with lots of love, laughter, and good food. Demi requested Rabbit with Caprese salad and homemade layer cake, and it was as delicious as it looks, […]
