Autumn is here 🍂🍁

The in-between season with crisp cool air and a time to slow down from the summer sun but quickly prepare for winter (yikes! we said it).

The change of pace is often a period of time for reflection, relaxation, and picking back up self-care practices. As we head into longer-darker days, it’s important to get into a routine ahead of time!

Luckily, we have you covered!

Chiropractic Care - when the body experiences stress, tension can linger and the body that can create or increase physical pain. Utilizing chriopractic care can ease the physical manifestation of stress and keep you pain-free.

Massage Therapy - A massage can help to increase the “feel good” chemicals (like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins) to elevate your mood and help to ease any anxiety.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine - acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system by shifting the body out of a “fight or flight” response into the “rest and digest” state.

Counselling - a space to identify stressors and an opportunity to learn new tools and strategies to support regulating your nervous system.

We’re happy to provide all these services to our patients and look forward to supporting you this season! 🍂

Alleah is a Canadian Certified Counsellor and holds a Masters of Counselling Psycholgy Art Therapy degree from Adler University.

She supports clients in navigating anxiety, perfectionism, grief, and relationship challenges. She specializes in Art Therapy, which uses creative expression to access feelings and insights that may be difficult to put into words. No artistic experience necessary!

In addition to art-based exploration, Alleah integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness based approach that helps clients build self-compassion and fulfilment in personal values. Her sessions are grounded in curiosity, authenticity, and a pace that feels safe and manageable for each person.

Alleah works with clients 16+ and can support in the following areas:

▫️Anxiety
▫️Depression
▫️Highly Sensitive Individuals
▫️Emotional Regulation
▫️Grief and Loss
▫️Relationship Challenges
▫️Identity Exploration
▫️Self-Expression
▫️Perfectionism
▫️Stress and Burnout

Alleah’s goal is to offer a welcoming and accepting space in which sessions flow at the client’s pace and that encourage clients to be more present and engaged in their lives.

When she’s not serving clients, you might find Alleah at a pottery class (hanging out at MUD specifically!), rock climbing, or camping in the great outdoors.

Meet Carmen Dolinsky our newest RMT at Active Balance! ✨

Carmen is a Registered Massage Therapist whose treatments thoughtfully weave together Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and skilled hands-on manual therapy. Her style can best be described as intentional, slow, and deep — combining myofascial release, deep long holds, and craniosacral work to create lasting effects and offer real balance to the body’s structures. Most sessions integrate these approaches, creating treatments that are both deeply therapeutic and restorative.

Her practice focuses on Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, myofascial release, and athletic-style massage, with a special interest in women’s health, nervous system regulation, chronic pain, stress recovery, and helping people move with greater freedom and ease.

She creates a calm, collaborative space where clients feel safe, listened to, and fully involved in their care. Whether using gentle craniosacral techniques or focused, unhurried deep tissue work, her intention is to help clients settle into their bodies, release unnecessary tension, and genuinely enjoy the experience of receiving treatment.

Grounded in KCCIHS’s 3000+hr RMT diploma, pain science, neuroscience, fascia, and trauma-informed care, Carmen integrates manual therapy with education and simple self-care strategies when appropriate. Every treatment is tailored to the individual, recognizing that no two bodies — or nervous systems — are the same.

Her goal is simple: to help people leave feeling lighter, stronger, more balanced, and more connected to themselves than when they arrived.

Meet Jade Oswald! Our newest TCM Practitioner at Active Balance ✨

Jade (she/her) moved to the West Kootenay region from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to attend the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner program at Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences. She graduated in 2021 with the Dean’s Award for Academic Excellence.

A lifelong adventure seeker, Jade grew up competitively snowboarding, skateboarding, and tree planting. Through her own experiences with sports injuries and chronic pain, she developed a deep appreciation for the ways our bodies can be challenged, supported, and restored. These experiences have shaped her passion for helping people feel more at ease and at home in their bodies.

Jade strives to create a compassionate, non-judgemental space where people can feel seen, heard, and met where they’re at. Her clinical interests include sports medicine, pain & injury management, stress and nervous system regulation, mental health, and gynecology. As well she has experience providing acupuncture in outreach and community settings.
After some time away, Jade is excited to be back in the West Kootenays and immersed in the community once again, surrounded by the glorious beauty and nature of the region. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys hiking, snowboarding, and playing banjo and guitar.

Treatments:
•Acupuncture
•Chinese Herbal Consultation
•Cupping
