Inside The Polished Apple

Thank you to Liz for these inspiring words about Redefin'd Calgary, the group we have worked with for our Patient Appreciation Day this year. They are a local Bowness organization making a big impact! The Redefin’d Recovery Community No outcomes,  only the rhythms of daily life.  Love. Struggle. It’s all the same.  Welcomed. Real.  We dance to that rhythm here, together, when we move forward as one,  no one misses too many beats. We are a trauma recovery community at Redefin’d. A group of people “going it together.” Being normal, being vulnerable and leaning on each other when we need to. We are where healing happens. When the greater community comes to experience Redefin’d, they say things like, “this is becoming my favourite place to be.” or “this is so natural.” Isn’t this what recovery should be? Relationship. The isolation our young people come from, the addiction, homelessness, living at the Drop-in Centre, and the anxiety, that’s abnormal.

We like to celebrate the successes under Network Spinal Chiropractic care!  "I have been under care since March of last year. Before Network Chiropractic, I had bad posture and was confused about what life held for me. I was not confident in myself or my skills. I was motivated to improve my posture and possibly more, however I was unsure of what "more" was.I have noticed I now have better posture most of the time and that I have a new found confidence and have figured out what my passions are and where they can lead me in terms of work. I have noticed a lot of changes behaviorally and I feel more aware of any emotions and do not react to much anymore.I feel like my patience has come back as well!" - Sherry M. "I have been under care for 4 months! Life was stressful before Network Chiropractic. I began care because I was originally motivated to see what it was about and to help with health.Since starting care I have more energy and I am more relaxed and happ

Thank you to Scott Hutchison, Registered Massage Therapist with Elan Family Wellness Centre in Bowness, NW Calgary, for these thoughts on Appreciation!  They say 10 thousand hours is the magic number to consider mastery in anything. Since the Bowness location of Elan opened in September 2014 we have hit our 10 thousand hours of serving from the NW of Calgary and more specifically... Bowness. Thank you. On behalf of Rob, Josephene, the practitioners and staff... thank you! Many have joined us over that time, some have moved on, and many we see weekly. We are grateful to continue to serve. To those joining us on June 22nd for our Appreciation Day... thanks in advance and vote for my chili during the 3rd annual Chili Cook Off during the event. With appreciations... ~ Scott

Thank you to Dr Robert Clarke, Network Spinal Practitioner at Elan Family Wellness, in Bowness, NW Calgary, for these insights from his recent Vision Quest. June is our Appreciation Month!  I recently had the honor of doing a Vision Quest, during which I got to sit for 4 days on a Beautiful parcel of land with myself, the earth and the cosmos. I received many insights over those days, one of the biggest gifts was appreciation of my journey and all the blessings I have. My health, my children, my work, my friends and family, this beautiful country and so much more. I am truly grateful for the teachings I have received throughout my life. The vision quest had less than ideal conditions, during the rain and the snow of that weekend I saw the reflections of those challenges and the challenges I have faced in my life. When things are flowing well in my life, I am grateful, when challenges come my way I work to see the lessons. It takes practice and often the wisdom gained, or the gifts ar

Practice Member of The Week Celebration Dinner Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday, May 23rd in our celebration of an array of practice members all dedicated to their chiropractic care.

We guarantee their will be awesome door prizes, food, and a chance for Network Spinal chiropractic entrainments and educational, inspiring talks! We will be using the day to also increase awareness and raise funds for Redefin'd - a local Bowness group helping young people redefine their life through meaningful work (and amazing food!)  As June is our month of Appreciation, we also get to take the time to share some thoughts on the topic. June is a big month for me as I will be completing my 180 day challenge stretching myself in preparation for the West Coast Trail in July, and I will be turning 45, which is the reason I'm doing so!
