Inside The Polished Apple

It's February & we're excited to Share the Warmth with you this month! It's heart awareness month and we hope some of our activities will help to warm your heart. We practiced FIKA last year with you in February~it's the art of the coffee break, and taking your time to connect and visit with your friends/ family/ or in our case community! Once a week, we will have coffee, tea and treats set up so you can enjoy FIKA with us, or a fellow practice member. Part of our Share the Warmth is to bring some more awareness to our local retail neighbors. We have an excellent grocery store, The Bownesian Grocer, just around the corner from us, offering non-perishables, produce, deli, and yummy chef-prepared meals. You may have seen in the media that their future is in jeopardy & they need more business, especially as we have more Big Box stores moving into the neighbourhood in the near future. To help support them, and to thank you for your business, we'll be...

We hope you can join us for FIKA in February! As part of our February Warmth Theme, we thought celebrating FIKA-the art of taking the time for a break, would be a good way to bring more warmth to your day! Once a week we will be brewing the coffee, so please join us after your Chiropractic, Massage, Acupuncture or Psychology appointment!  In honour of February, a month where we all can use more Warmth, join us for a morning or afternoon of  What is Fika? Swedes consider Fika as an essential part of the day. It is about setting aside time in the day to enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea) as well as snacks with family, friends and colleagues. We look forward to spending time and getting to know each and every one of you!

What a fun month! Here's a few of the highlights!  Yum! Have you ever heard of FIKA? We thought it was something we should implement on a Saturday morning. FIKA is fancy for coffee and sweets. Conveniently, we have Sweet Home Bakery just around the corner from us. We had P.I.E. and FIKA-that means Pain Integration Experience followed by coffee and sweets.  We had a ball for Father's Day!  Elan was set up at Run Bowness. Here's Scott with MLA Deborah Drever, and a photo of our team of Margaret, McKenzie and Scott. Scott was doing on-site massage to help the runner's injuries, and Margaret was there offering advice on how Acupuncture can help those concerns.  It was a busy month! Last up in June was Patient Appreciation Day.
