Inside The Polished Apple

Join us Saturday, July 13th 10 am to 12 pm for our Community Day! We're offering our services in exchange for donations to benefit Flood Relief Efforts. All money collected will be donated to Children's Cottage Calgary. This centre in Bridgeland was affected by the flooding and we want to help them get back to being able to help kids and families. We heard of them through a little birdie, aka a practice member. On Saturday, current practice members can receive an entrainment at Elan; new and familiar faces can come for Acupuncture or Allergy testing, or for reflexology or stress release sessions. Healthy snacks will be provided! If you've been affected and feel physical or emotional discomfort, we welcome you and hope to do our piece to help in your healing process. More information is available through 403 217 5577 or on our Facebook events link.

It all was and is urgent. Urgent to pack bags and get out of your house by 7pm. Urgent to watch the news and Facebook updates all day and all night. Urgent to fill bathtubs or jugs of tap water. Urgent to feel as though you should drop everything and start shoveling out basements. Urgent to purge your house of anything unnecessary and donate to families in need.  Urgent to give food, clothes, money, anything you can scrape together.   The urgency makes it difficult to see what is the most important thing to do at ...

Hello Elan community! We hope you are safe and dry. Our apologies for our on-line absence during the floods. Many of our office team were in various degrees of evacuation, or evacuation alert, although it now looks like our homes are safe. We know that we have practice members who are still evacuated and you are in our thoughts. Please let us know if there is any way that we can help and s pread the word within our community. The generosity of this entire city has been amazing. If anyone still needs a place to stay, food, clothing, household or children's items, please ask. We may not be able to personally provide, but we can put the request out. Our office is open regular hours. We know that it may be difficult for some of you to reach us and please be safe if you are considering coming in. As odd as it may sound, it was very calming to be at work yesterday and have a little piece of normalcy and serenity. Take care! From all of us at Elan.
