November Theme: Celebrate life as it comes. Prioritize what matters. Keep the learning pace relaxed. The more blessings you count, the more blessings will flow in. Hope this month is good to you 💋

This is 40 — ish 😜
So, how does it feel to be 𝓕𝓸𝓻𝓽𝔂-𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓮𝓮?
It feels pretty f*ckin’ fabulous!
Counting my blessings each day — for the life I’ve been granted and the people that make it complete.
As I’m getting older, I’ve come to realize that life doesn’t get easier, but your capacity to deal with it simply expands with wisdom and experience. I still can’t control the BS, but I’m getting better at navigating it.
Cheers to taking up more space, speaking my mind, trusting my gut, raising my hand and giving less f*cks daily 🥂!

From big spines to little spines - wishing you a Happy World Spine Day 🌎 🩻
This years theme is 💃🏻 🏃🏻♀️ 🏋🏽♀️
Spine, muscle and joint conditions affect 11 million Canadians each year – that’s more than cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease combined 🇨🇦 😮
Regular movement of your spine is key 🔑 to prevention and maintenance of a healthy spine ✅
Walking, running, stretching, dancing, yoga, lifting weights, playing golf are some of the fun ways you can keep active and keep your spine moving 🧘🏻♀️
And — if you think your spine needs some extra love ❤️ don’t forget to call on your friendly neighbourhood chiropractor 👩🏻⚕️- we’ve always got your back 👊🏽

today and everyday 🤗
We bleed, we bear, we raise families, we build careers, we break boundaries, we crush stereotypes, we fight discrimination.
My hope is that one day we can live in a world free of gender inequality — where women are given the same opportunities, respect, salaries, growth and potential as the patriarchy.
As a mama of boys, I may not be raising the next generation of strong, resilient and compassionate women, but I am raising the men that will support and stand by them as equal partners — always 🤍

100 nights with you….
It’s been 100 nights since I’ve been sleeping on my Endy]]]]] mattress 😴 🗣️
Truth be told, I love anything that has to do with my bed. I love to sleep in it, I love to watch tv on it and I love to read in it. Heck, I even fold my laundry on it 😜
That’s why having the best mattress is so important to me. Here’s my honest and most authentic review of my Endy]]]]] mattress ✨
I love that it’s the perfect mix of comfort (soft) and support (firm). My previous mattress was way too soft and I used to sink into it which was uncomfortable and unsupportive. I would rate the Endy]]]]] mattress as medium-firm which is ideal and recommended ✅
And….if you or your partner move around a lot, then you’ll definitely love that it has minimal motion transfer which means you or your partner won’t feel a thing 😃 — it’s literally been a game changer!
So do I recommend the Endy]]]]] mattress?! 100% YES — this is now my forever mattress 🛌

2022 caught a vibe….✨
The year of babies, vacations, weddings, and nights out after a long long time 🦠 💃🏻
It was a FUN year for me both personally and professionally. I got to spend lots of time with my family and friends doing the things I LOVE way more. I learned to let go of control (some 😜) at work and let my amazing team do their thing, which they did so so well! Our clinic grew by leaps and bounds by adding more staff and practitioners so we can keep serving our community to the best of our ability.
All of this growth couldn’t have been possible without my amazing family and friends. Thank you for always putting up with me, whether it be my crazy ideas or fun shenanigans and for always being there for me through thick and thin 🥹
And to my amazing patients — Thank You for allowing me into the most delicate parts of your life and letting me help you heal. It is a privilege I will never take for granted. Thank You for always bringing good energy into the clinic and for making the necessary changes to reach your health and wellness goals. I love what I do because of all of you ❤️
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ will be a year of:
✨ good vibes
✨ more happiness
✨ constant gratitude
✨ stronger relationships
✨ more focus than ever
Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right 🥂
Always here for your healing — Dr. B 💕

What’s on your self care list these days?
New Mama 🙋🏻♀️ No symptoms = no worries, right?
Listen up, even if you’re not experiencing symptoms like pain or incontinence, you still need to rebuild your foundation.
Think about it, your body goes through some profound physical and chemical changes during pregnancy, birth, and post-partum.
Just because you don’t feel any pain, doesn’t mean there’s no dysfunction. Some of the most common changes women experience post-baby include:
⚪️Tight low back, hips, chest and neck
⚪️Altered posture and gait pattern
⚪️Shallow breathing pattern
⚪️Pelvic floor, glute, and abdominal weakness
When it comes to your postpartum recovery, slow is fast. Just because you feel ready to jump back into your pre-baby exercise routine, doesn’t mean you should.
The key to a successful recovery is to rebuild strength in a safe, progressive way. This means starting with the basics by establishing a connection between your breath and pelvic floor and identifying imbalances now so you can correct them before you experience symptoms.

Wanna know something I love to hear… 🥰
When a patient says she was referred by a loved one.
Too often, health professionals dismiss many diagnoses as a ‘normal’ result of giving childbirth. This includes symptoms like:
🤰🏼Mom pooch.
💧Peeing your pants.
😬 Neck and back aches.
😖 Headaches.
If your're a Feel Good Mama, you KNOW that THAT is absolutely NOT normal. 🙅🏻♀️
These all stem back to issues that are often misdiagnosed or unresolved after giving birth.
✨ If you hear a mama sharing these symptoms – tell her about the Online Feel Good Mama Postpartum Rehab Program. With your referral, she will gain insight into her postpartum journey and feel at home in her body once again.
The Feel Good Mama methodology is aimed at preventing, reducing, and resolving symptoms through a comprehensive postpartum checkup and progressive healing program.

Wondering what a Feel Good Mama Postpartum assessment looks like? 🤔
Sit down and get comfortable. Welcome to your first appointment with me. 💗
1️⃣ We’ll start by exploring your birth story. This is the most important part of the process. By understanding your unique situation, we’ll be able to see the bigger picture of your healing journey. For example, if you had an episiotomy you have a higher chance of having pelvic organ prolapse in the future. With our support, you’ll take steps in early postpartum to prevent or lessen future symptoms.
2️⃣ From there, we’ll ease into a physical assessment. We’ll see where you are presently in your healing and discuss any previous injuries or pain that you endured (such as your ability to engage your core, the tilt of your pelvis, and practicing breathwork).
3️⃣ Lastly, you’re reminded that you have the power to take action right now. We take all of your data and develop a plan that is unique to you. You’ll leave feeling heard, supported and empowered with an individualized plan that includes hands-on therapy (in-person) and exercise rehabilitation.
⭐️ My passion is helping women like you. I’m on a mission to raise the standard of postpartum care for mothers across Canada and beyond.
Ready to begin your postnatal healing journey? Can’t wait to see you, mama!

Mama, when you think of strength, what comes to mind?
Many times, we mix up the idea of strength with ‘perfection’. It can be challenging to avoid comparing yourself to other moms that seem to have it all together.
“Wait ... she’s already working out? I wish I was that strong.”
“She’s able to balance ALL of that? I can barely make it out of bed some days.”
“How’d she lose weight so quickly? I feel like I’ve hit the wall.”
* This is especially common on social platforms where you’re more likely to see a ‘highlight reel’ rather than the full picture of real life. *
Mama, being strong has nothing to do with so-called perfection? Instead, strength is defined as showing vulnerability and knowing when to ask for help. It’s about working WITH your challenges rather than against them.
Here’s the thing mama: everyone’s healing journey is different. Healing is personalized and it is definitely NOT linear. It’s a journey of ups, downs, and all the little moments in between that add up to a new normal.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Celebrate your highlight reels, embrace your vulnerabilities, and ask for support (and accept) help when needed.
What does strength mean to you? Tag a mama whose strength inspires you ❤️
Mama — it’s about damn time!
To STOP 🛑
✔️ comparing your postpartum body to others
✔️ covering your body in baggy clothes
✔️ speaking down to yourself
✔️ hiding your body from your partner
And START ✅
✔️ honouring your body where it’s at
✔️ complimenting yourself in the mirror
✔️ buying clothes that fit and make you feel good
✔️ remembering that confidence is a choice not a size
