My New Adventure

Hi guys! Sorry for the hiatus I have been insanely crazy busy. I moved to Calgary exactly 10 weeks ago and so far, I'm loving my life here. Life's pretty crazy and it has thrown me some serious curveballs in the last month. With holding down two jobs (which I love by the way) and our basement flooding I have been barely holding on to my sanity. All in all , I have fallen in love with Calgary. The city itself is such a lively city, with a rambunctious nightlife and loads of great restaurants and coffee shops to keep you busy in the day. Here it doesn't matter if its a Saturday night or a Tuesday, people are out and about and enjoying their lives. They don't succumb to the perils of the 9-5 life and live their lives like tomorrow will be their last day.

After weeks of searching and perfecting resumes and cover letters, I landed two jobs to sustain my new life. Here's a little bit about them!

Dr For Moms Chiropractic And Family Wellness

      When I got the job at Dr For Moms, I didn't know what to expect. I have an introductory knowledge of natural health disciplines, but chiropractic I hadn't really looked into. My first impression was that it was a lot of "back" cracking. I was hired at the center and immediately felt a warm welcome by the team. Dr. Hort and her team really exemplify the meaning of "it takes a village to raise a child". The center makes moms feel welcome and encouraged to bring their children. Whether its holding babes to entertaining toddlers or changing a diaper or two, were there to help. Thats my favourite part. I love that I can be some form of help to these moms and expectant mothers  in their hectic lives. Even though I have only been apart of the center for 10 weeks, I have already learned so much about chiropractic care for adults and children. If the nervous system is able to operate at an optimal level, the rest of the body systems seem to be able to work themselves out.  Our nerves are majority what controls physical pain, or our nociceptors. When the joints are misaligned, this can cause the body to perform improperly and can interfere with how the you innately heal. These are called "subluxations". Dr. Hort has programs such as "How to have a baby in 6 hours or less and love to tell about it!" . For the women in my life that have given birth, I know they would have killed to have this knowledge! Whether you are pregnant or not, male or female, young or old, chiropractic care can help with many different conditions.  For children and babies, adjustments are very different than those for adults.  They are gentle and effective in relief from such conditions as torticollis, plagiocephaly, collic, acid reflux and much more. I love that I feel I get to learn every single day.

        The center is multi-disciplinary, with three chiropractors with wide ranges of areas of expertise, two massage therapists and a health and wellness fitness expert. We make everyone feel like they belong and are taken care of with exceptional standards. Chiropractic care can never be detrimental, only progressive and I believe everyone in life should experience this! Come and join our village!

Roosevelt Food and Drink

       When I first moved here, I was under the impression that I was finished with the serving industry. It isn't that I had hard feelings towards it, as I worked in restaurants throughout university and was able to make a decent living.  I just wanted to utilize the skills that I believe I had acquired in the 5 years of education I had just finished. Nonetheless, reality hit and I decided if I wanted to financially be in a comfortable place, serving would have to continue for a while. With the amount of experience I have, I was able to hunt around and try to find a restaurant that I believed I would fit best in. A friend of mine, Chanelle, worked at Roosevelt and had great reviews to say about it. So I went in and applied. Immediately, I felt welcomed. In many restaurants, girls can be competitive and snobby. It is very off putting. But when I started, I didn't feel that at all. Everyone was really nice and made me feel comfortable. Roosevelt is an upscale pub and lounge that has something to offer to everyone. Taking service standards to a new level, we like to get to know guests on a personal level. Weekends are awesome with FREE milkshakes and mini donuts at brunch and awesome DJs on Fridays and Saturdays that are guaranteed to show you an amazing time! Plus the 5$ Happy Hour drinks and FULL sized flatbreads cannot be beat. I have been told in the cold fall days that have recently passed that we are the one of the busiest places on 17th! I love being apart of such a fun crowd and team and look forward to serving all of you! 

I am really excited about my new adventure in Calgary. With the help of these two positions, I have expanded my network and can't wait to see what is in store for me. 

Until next time !
