The Eye Of The Storm
When it comes to addressing health imbalances, there are some differences in approach between men and women. It’s hard to generalize because we are all individuals, but from puberty, there is a split in the internal and external developments that determine some of how our bodies operate. Read more…
The Transformative Power of Somatic Experiencing
Trauma is the result of an event(s) that overwhelms our system’s capacity to process or cope with what has happened. That overwhelm of energy can become stuck and stored in our bodies, resulting in our self-protective parts working to keep us safe from what they perceive is still happening. We can’t simply ‘think’ our way out of a stress or trauma response- trauma is not a story, it’s an experience. Our nervous system keeps inventory of our life encounters and responds based on what you’ve endured in the past. Over time, our protective parts keep us disconnected from ourselves and others. This is where somatic work comes into play. Read more…
Breaking The Stigma
Anxiety and depression do not discriminate; they can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, or gender. However, men often face unique challenges when it comes to seeking help and support for their mental health struggles. Societal expectations and traditional notions of masculinity can sometimes make it difficult for men to acknowledge their anxiety and depression, let alone seek assistance. Despite these challenges, it’s crucial to recognize that men need support just as much as anyone else. Read more…

Caruncles, Wattles and Snoods
Of all the bird fowl that exist in this province you would have thought that “meleagris gallopavo merriami” would be the unlikeliest to thrive in increasing numbers, but thrive they have. Since their introduction to the Cypress and Porcupine Hills in 1962 the populations of wild turkeys have taken off, literally. Sightings of large flocks have been noted for many years now out around Lee Lake, Passburg and as far west as West Coleman and on into the Lower Elk Valley. Their phenomenal transplant success led to the introduction of an Alberta Fish and Wildlife hunting season in 1991. Read more..

But what if there is a better way to do it? Read more…

Benefits of a Guide
I was inspired to become a professional guide after hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I’ve had years of exploring in the backcountry, but had not done many guided tours at that time. Our guides were incredible with the immense amount of knowledge they shared with us. By the time we even got to Machu Picchu, we had a vast knowledge about the Incas and their culture. Our guides were experts and highly educated. This continues to inspire me as I operate Uplift Adventures. Read more…
Low Back Pain & Strength Training
Like any joint in the body, our back does better when thereare strong muscles and ligaments to support the joint. Our current lifestyle, with prolonged periods of sitting, do not benefit our joints or connective tissue which primarily maintain their health through movement. Many people believe that walking is the only exercise they need to maintain their health as they age. Walking does have many benefits; cardiovascular, body weight loading through the lower body, social connection with others, and connection with nature. However, on its own, walking cannot maintain the integrity of the joints of the body. Bones and joints and connective tissue need to be loaded. If you do not have a physically demanding job, or do not regularly work around the house, lifting, pushing, or pulling heavy objects, then a strength training program is beneficial for you. This may be done at home, or at the gym, it’s really a matter of comfort, preference, and whatever enables you to train on a regular basis. Read more…
