March Break Fun Skate

March 15, 2010 By //  by Whitney Young, ND


WOW! What a fun time we had on Friday evening. Everyone at The Healing Oasis would like to thank our friends and family for coming out and sharing in some fun and light activity.

Not only did we have an amazing ice rink all to ourselves for an hour, we had an entire party room filled with kids and parents and friends…and SNACKS! All of which were a hit!! And we had SO many people ask us for our recipes we thought we’d share them with you to enjoy with your own friends and families. (Look for the recipes in our next blogs.)

We hope everyone had as much fun as we did and we look forward to seeing even more of you at our next client appreciation event….perhaps a summer BBQ!?

To view the entire photo album from our fun skate day simply find us on Facebook and become a fan.

With sincere thanks,
The Healing Oasis Team

Almond Coconut Macaroons – Gluten & Dairy Free Baking can taste good!

January 25, 2010 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Yes, it’s true, gluten & dairy free cooking is tastey! Just take the word of my 4 year old friend, Nigel. He looked sceptical at first looking at these cookies. After one bite, his face suddenly brightened and he quickly ate the rest.

Gluten/Dairy free recipes don’t have to be hard to find. I found this recipe in my Recipe of The Week: Cookies cookbook by Sally Sampson. You can adapt it slightly to make it even more healthy if you’d like. Many people discover through Naturopathic Medicine that they have sensitivities to common foods like these. After they begin to feel so good when cutting these foods out many don’t return to eating the “bad” foods again.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup white sugar (substitute with local honey or try a small amount of Stevia)
3 cups natural almonds, lightly toasted and cooled
1 1/2 cups unsweetened dried coconut flakes
4 large egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt

Toasting the almonds:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place nuts on a baking sheet or in a shallow pan, transfer to the oven and bake until lightly coloured and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Cookies:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.

2. Place sugar, almonds, and coconut in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until the mixture looks like fine sand. Transfer to a large bowl, add the egg whites, vanilla, and salt and mix, using a wooden spoon, until everything is well incorporated.

3. Place heaping teaspoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake until the edges begin to firm up, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Let the cookie sheet cool completely between batches and repeat with the remaining dough.

David Suzuki…Remember The Big Picture

November 18, 2009 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

I had the pleasure of attending the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors annual convention Nov 13-15 in Toronto. Furthermore, it was an honour to have David Suzuki kick off the weekend with a powerful presentation, which was open to the public.

David was passionate and eloquent as he described our earth and how humans are the species that have had the most impact on the planet. Some scientists say it’s too late and we have irreversibly damaged our home. However, David says to them “shut up and get out of the way,” it is never too late to make a change. And it’s important to remember the big picture – we should all have the same goal – to live in a healthy place. Governments need to listen to what Canadians truly want.

What kind of Canada do you want to live in? What do you want Barrie to be like in 25 – 30 years? Would you like to be able to drink from Lake Simcoe? Would you like to not worry about the air we breathe when we are standing within sight of highway 400? Would you like to know that your food is free from chemicals? Would you like to be sure that your health problems are not caused by environmental pollution, chemicals or even the houses we live in?

We can all agree that we want a beautiful, clean, healthy place to live, work and raise our children. If we all agree on that, then we have a common goal we can work towards.

The take home message for me?
There are small, simple things I can do at home and at our wellness centre to start making an impact on our environment and people’s health. Also, it is up to us to let our governments know that where we live and how clean it is matters to us and it should matter to them and their families as well.

I would like to encourage a discussion on our environment and our health. Please post a comment and become a follower of our blog to continue this conversation. Together, change will make a difference.

At our clinic I use acupuncture primarily for hormone regulation, infertility, and during pregnancies. 

There are acupuncture points on the body that have traditionally been used to help prepare for labour. In a recent journal review acupuncture was found to be of some benefit in improving cervical maturity.  I already knew this and have had lots of success. 

So, yes, it is a thing.
