Your body does a lot for you — give it a little something back. 💆🏼🤍

Massage therapy can help relieve muscle tension, ease soreness, support recovery, encourage relaxation, and help you feel more comfortable in your everyday life.

Whether you’re feeling tight from training, sitting at a desk all day, or just need to slow down for a bit, massage can be a great way to reset. ✨

✨ This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Dr. Courtney Bartel!

Born and raised in the Fraser Valley, Dr. Bartel is passionate about helping people feel and move their best. Whether she’s treating athletes, supporting moms-to-be, or helping with everyday aches and pains, she takes the time to create a treatment plan that’s tailored to each patient.

🏌️‍♀️As a TPI Certified chiropractor with a special interest in golf injuries and biomechanics, Dr. Bartel uses a variety of techniques—including manual adjustments, drop table, activator, and gentle joint mobilizations—so care can be adapted to your comfort level and needs.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find her on the ski hill in the winter 🏂, out on the golf course in the summer ⛳, or soaking up the sunshine with a glass of local wine. ☀️🍷

We’re so lucky to have Dr. Bartel as part of our team, helping our community stay active, healthy, and doing the things they love. 💙

We often focus on staying active—but recovery is just as important. It’s during recovery that your body repairs, rebuilds, and prepares for whatever comes next.

Prioritizing hydration, gentle movement, quality sleep, and proper recovery can help reduce soreness, improve mobility, lower your risk of injury, and keep you feeling your best.

Recovery isn’t about taking a step back—it’s what allows you to keep moving forward and continue doing the things you love all summer long. ☀️

We are very delighted to welcome Dr. Olivia Ponte, ND, to our clinic! 🌿🧘🏽‍♀️

We’re so excited to have Dr. Ponte join our team and look forward to introducing her to our community.

Her approach to Naturopathic care is rooted in taking the time to understand each patient’s unique health story. Inspired by providers who demonstrated that medicine can be both evidence-informed and compassionate, she was drawn to naturopathic medicine for its whole-person approach—considering nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, stress, and when appropriate, medications and collaborative care.

She is especially passionate about supporting patients through life transitions, including reproductive health, pregnancy planning, and perimenopause, as well as helping patients uncover the root of their concerns and build personalized, evidence-informed care plans.

During your first visit, Dr. Ponte focuses on listening closely, reviewing your health history and any prior testing, and determining if further investigation is needed before creating a tailored plan. Her goal is for patients to feel heard, informed, and supported.

A simple but powerful health reminder she often shares: prioritize your sleep—it’s foundational for overall health and well-being. ✨

We’re so happy to have her on our team and can’t wait for you to meet her!
