SPREAD THE CALM - WHAT TO EXPECT FROM RIPPLE WELLNESS

Dear Ripple Community, 

We want to stay in touch and let you know how things are looking at Ripple this week in light of the COVID-19 outbreak. We are here to assure you that we continue to take stringent precautions to keep our patients and staff safe and we are open for business offering acupuncture, massage, naturopathic medicine, nutrition counseling and yoga sessions. 

Our Mission Stands
From day one at Ripple our mission has been to be a hub for health and wellness in our community. Now more than ever we are called to action. We want to inspire you to stay with us on the path of well-being and self-care during this uncertainty. Spread the calm is our vision, we believe we can help spread the calm amongst ourselves as a wellness team and our patients. Not only is this a heartening approach to this pandemic, it is a legitimate way to boost immunity.
Each of us has the power to make healthy choices and manage our stress and anxiety - even amid the uncertainty. It’s a tall order, but one that we should not shy away from.

Our Offerings Remain
We are here for you with telehealth options with our Naturopathic physician, video sessions with our functional nutritionist, video yoga sessions with myself, Emily Olson, monthly online wellness classes and plenty of resources shared through social media to help you stay strong, healthy and sane during this troubling time.
We hope you will join us in taking back what can often get lost during turbulent times - our well-being, our trust in our own power and our inspiration to stay healthy and strong.

Our Gift To You
If you need an assist to stay calm and grounded this week, check out this wonderful 15-minute guided meditationfrom our friend, Barbara Robitaille. Barbara facilitated our Mindfulness & Meditation group in March and this meditation is a calming antidote to the stress and anxiety out there.
