Happy New Year from Zepp Wellness!

2012 ~

This January saw the seven-year anniversary of Naturopathic Medical practice for me in Regina.  It has been an incredible seven years, filled with so much learning and opportunity!  Through this time I have experienced working within the multi-disciplinary clinic space of my old clinic, Regina Rehab and Family Medical Clinic, where I established invaluable relationships with medical doctors and other amazing health professionals.  I have since been working at the Wellness Centre on College Avenue and have thoroughly enjoyed the chance to work more closely with a team of fellow Naturopathic Doctors.  The opportunity to bounce ideas off of one another and discuss cases has been incredibly fulfilling.

Personally I have gotten married and had a daughter and built and moved into a new house in these seven years.  We’ve had some tough, challenging periods too, with some setbacks and losses along the way, rounding out the richness of this life experience – with darkness comes light and vice versa.Another blessings is on the horizon for us again– as we are expecting our second child in early April.  Though one never knows what the Universe has in store for us, as I learned when my daughter Madelyn(due July 16, 2009) arrived 6.5 weeks early on May 31st that year!, my plan as of now is to work through until March 16th2012and be “on call” until the baby is born.  Then once again I will be taking some time away from my practice.

I am ever so grateful to have a wonderful woman,Dr Laura Stark ND, fill in for me in my time away with my wee one.  I plan to be off fully for 5 months, returning in September 2012 to a very part-time schedule of 8 to 10 hours per week and gradually increasing my hours in the ensuing months.  Thankfully Laura plans to remain in Regina and in our Clinic into the future.  She will assist with the care of my patients in my absence and will also begin to build her own practice at the same time.  She and I have very similar practice styles, with a focus on mental and emotional well-being as primary components of our physical health.  Please visit her website www.LauraStarkND.com for more information on Laura and her practice style.  She is currently working in Carp, Ontario and plans to return to Regina late March and will begin practice in my office at the Wellness Centre as of April 1st, 2012.Appointments can be booked with Laura through the clinic (306) 757-HEAL.

Please stay tuned to my website in the upcoming months for news on my pregnancy and further plans or changes to these plans during my maternity leave. 

I look forward to continuing to serve patients for many years to come! 

Each day is such a rich experience for me, and I am ever grateful to have a job that I love so much that allows me to meet and get to know so many amazing people. 

Gratitude marks the way in which I have chosen to live each day of this New Year.  There is always so much to be grateful for – not only the “good” experiences that life has to offer – but also the ones we might label as “bad” as these have so much to teach us.  It is through our trials and tribulations and from our mistakes and failures that we learn and grow the most.  May this year be filled with many opportunities for you to experience gratitude!
