Experience our Vision!

Every 90 days we meet as a team and review our goals from the last 90 days.  We celebrate all the work we have accomplished and re-commit to the goals that yet, need to be done.  Then, we add ideas and projects for the next 90 days.  It is a very involved process that helps keep us focused and able to concentrate on a variety of concepts.

Usually, after we have mapped out our next 90 days we honour our team efforts with some fun.  Last fall was golfing.  (Which is its own kind of "fun".) This time it was horseback riding with Alpine Enthusastis. http://www.alpineenthusiasts.com/   Lindsay was a wonderful guide, treating us to astounding scenery, stories and tales.   We realise how fit you have to be to ride horse.  Some of our clients are living proof of that.  Surprisingly, we survived the ride without any mishaps.  Other than Shaun's horse loosing its halter.  We were only a little seat sensative later, but not too bad.  I'll bet that means we maintained good posture and alignment while encouraging a horse to be gentle with us.  Apparenlty, horse sense these things....This also marked our last Vision process with Shaun, who will be leaving for Chiropractic school in August.  We miss him already.

 These efforts are thanks to you, our clients.  For every new client that comes to our office, we donate $20 to Chiropractors With Compassion.  We believe in helping people transform their lives to unleash optimum potential!  If you can think of anyone who has not benefited from Chiropractic care, refer them to us.  We will help them and in turn, help people around the world.
