Breast Thermography, otherwise known as Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) is a diagnostic procedure that creates images based on a careful detection and analysis of skin and tissue temperatures. These images allow practitioners to see where there is abnormal chemical and blood vessel activity in breast and body tissue. The ability of DITI to detect thermal signs that may suggest a pre-cancerous state of the breast at an extremely early stage, is a useful tool in early detection.

At our Stress 3.0: ‘Feeling Your Way Forward’ to Total Health workshop, you told us that relationships were one of your biggest stressors. Now, join Dr Mahalia Freed, ND, and Erin Bentley, MA, PhD (candidate), to kick-start your drama-free diet!

Are you thoroughly confused about how to balance your needs and those of your loved ones? Are you tired of feeling misunderstood, unheard, or just plain frustrated in your family? Are workplace dynamics with co-workers making you fantasize about a career change?

In this practical and inspiring workshop, Mahalia and Erin will explore how energy-depleting drama seeps into our relationships – robbing us of the deep enjoyment and fulfillment that human connection can and should bring into our lives.

Immense grace can emerge in our relationships when we begin to observe how the stories we carry about the past introduce needless drama in the present. Learn how mutual connection can arise between you and another when you become a compassionate witness to their life. See how practicing authentic yes’s and no’s can reduce conflict and enhance communication. Practice simple yet effective techniques for communicating your needs and boundaries so that you can become the author of your experience – instead of a character in someone else’s story of you!

Cost:  $59 + HST.

Join Drs Mahalia Freed ND and Angela Warburton TCM for a two part series examining the foundations of a whole person model of cancer care. Learn how to enhance and complement western medical treatments based on the most recent research findings. Use natural medicines to boost effectiveness of chemotherapy & radiation, address side effects, speed recovery from surgery, enhance the immune system and improve energy. Incorporate dietary, supplement and lifestyle recommendations to prevent recurrence and optimize health.

In this talk we will start by examining the evolution of cancer care, and the role traditional Chinese medicine and naturopathic medicine in prevention, treatment & recovery. We will look in some detail at lifestyle factors including diet, stress, sleep, exercise, and laughter, exploring research findings and always bringing it back to what this means for people who are healing from cancer, or looking for active prevention strategies. We will also discuss environmental risk factors, and spend some time exploring supplements and herbs used in cancer prevention and treatment. Finally, we will end by highlighting the characteristics found in those who have “remarkable recoveries”. You will take home a handout with lifestyle and diet tips, resources for more information, and the list of remarkable recovery characteristics.
