As a hypnotherapist, I read everything and anything about the minds. Recently, two books have been written about the power of manifestations: Mind Magic by James Doty and The Neuroscience of Manifesting by Sabrina Brennan.
Manifestation is the process of bringing desires into reality through focused thought, belief, and aligned action. At its core, it’s the idea that our thoughts are…
When someone enters rehab for drug use, there’s often a lot of uncertainty about what really goes on. People might imagine cold hospital rooms or endless therapy sessions, but the truth is usually more structured, supportive, and focused on helping people get through a difficult transition, both physically and mentally.

The cost of smoking beyond financial.
I write this after running into a neighbour who just has had a baby. I said “I didn’t know you smoked?”.

This extended exposure to digital devices has brought increased awareness of the effects of blue light, a high-energy visible light emitted by screens. While natural exposure to blue light during the day can help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, too much of it, especially in the evening, can…
There’s nothing quite like watching your children run barefoot through the grass or build sandcastles with sandy toes and wild giggles.

If you’ve ever stood in the SPF aisle feeling totally overwhelmed, you’re definitely not alone. Spray or lotion? SPF 30 or 50? Mineral or…
Many people hope to correct tooth alignment issues without dealing with the lengthy process of braces and they are right to do so. They may be eager to improve the look of their smile but find themselves put off by the idea of wearing metal brackets for months or even years. This is where veneers step in as an efficient, elegant solution, offering a way to address aesthetic concerns such as…
As Mental Health Awareness Week reminds us to check in with our emotional wellbeing, it’s crucial we shine a light on one of the most devastating yet preventable outcomes of mental health struggles: suicide.
While the word itself can feel difficult to say aloud, we must talk about it. Suicide claims thousands of lives every year – and each one is a person who once had hope, dreams, and the…
What if mental health care didn’t start with a prescription, but with a pause?
For too long, conversations around mental wellbeing have centred around either coping or medicating. But between these two extremes lies a quieter revolution – one rooted in awareness and small daily shifts that reconnect us with ourselves.
