The values of integrity, truth and mutual respect are at the foundation of Nanaimo Elements and the freedom of speech, thought and belief are core values of our society – may we all keep choosing to be respectful when differences arise.

The arrival of October signifies a time to consciously say thank you for our many blessings – our families and loved ones, our friends, our beautiful environment – and hopefully good physical, mental and emotional health for everyone in our circles.

Just as the tides rise and fall so do the conditions of life. Relationships with dear friends and family seem more distant as the challenges of the collective pandemic experience make it difficult to stay connected in person. I know we are together in spirit and all of this will someday pass.

I want to thank my team for the support and excellent work at Nanaimo Elements in my recent absence. Abundant gratitude to all of you and to the amazing clients who continue to support my business!

You can feel the energy rising as we slowly emerge from pandemic restrictions and people are getting out and living life to the fullest. My business has never been stronger – thanks in large part to my wonderful staff and devoted clients.

With COVID-19 numbers in decline, we can finally take a breather and let our shoulders drop in relaxation for the first time in over a year. Your loyalty and unwavering support have made it possible for Nanaimo Elements to remain open while too many other businesses did not survive this pandemic. Our hearts go out to those negatively impacted by this unprecedented challenge.

Fast forward to the present – with all new staff and several carefully planned changes in our systems, business hours and service offerings – we have made it and are alive and well.

“Like preparing a garden in the spring, we need to start preparing our skin now for longer days and increased exposure to the elements as we spend more time outdoors in the summer.”

If you are a regular client, you will have heard my mantra over and over, the number one cause of premature aging is sun damage! To maintain healthy and vibrant skin, you must protect yourself from the harmful effects of sun exposure.

I do recommend cultivating loving-kindness and compassion every day and giving yourself and the planet, the same love you share with family and friends.

As we enter another year, take a pause between breaths – rest.

2020 has been a difficult year; so, as it draws to a close, let us remember to show each other loving-kindness and take stock of life’s many blessings.
