KALE CHIPS
|
 This is the perfect snack!
Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can choose. It's an excellent source of vitamins A (good for your eyes), C (antioxidant and
immune support), K, B6 and manganese and a
good source of dietary fiber
and minerals.
Ingredients
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt or soya sauce
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the
leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and
thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil
and sprinkle with salt or soya sauce. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to
15 minutes.

HAVING A BABY?

 Labour Preparation Treatment
We have a new treatment designer to help both the mother and the labour
partner. A Labour Preparation treatment includes time teaching the
partner acupressure techniques to use during labour to lessen pain,
stimulate contractions and support the mom-to-be as she labours. For
the woman, we treat her with a labour preparation acupuncture treatment
which is unique for each individual's needs - from relaxing and
preparing for birth to stimulating contractions and ensuring correct
positioning for labour. Each treatment lasts 1.5 hours and costs $110 +
GST. Included in the treatment is a hand out including information on
acupressure points and techniques.
