I Promise Myself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Holiday Giving Tree

As the holidays begin to approach, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on your blessings. We are most thankful for a wellness center that is abundant with wonderful patients and the opportunity to be of service to each one of you. We are blessed with health and gracious to be surrounded with your love and support. Thank you for being a part of that.

It has been brought to our attention that our local Pennridge children are especially in need this year. Many children, right here in our neighborhood, are in need of winter outerwear including mittens, hats, scarves, and jackets. Please consider joining us in supporting our children and providing them with some warm wear for the winter months. We will be collecting donations at the Wellness Center and decorating our holiday tree with mittens of all sizes and colors.

Thank you in advance for your donations. Enjoy the holiday season. May your families be blessed with health and happiness.


Yours In Health,

Pennridge Wellness Center

It's only a thought, and a thought can be changed.


I am not limited by any past thinking. I choose my thoughts with care. I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at my world. I am willing to change and grow.

TEAM CHIROPRACTIC

Dr. Leah and I had the pleasure of joining Dr. Sandy Levenson and Dr. Tammy Portolese, also local chiropractors, for a morning of eating, laughing, and inspiration! They say that power comes in numbers, and it certainly felt empowering to be sharing a table with others who share in our purpose. We all agree that we are here, as chiropractors, to provide a "ROPE OF HOPE" for our community. Each patient approaches our office with their own story, with a unique set of needs, and with individual goals for their future. Combined with compassion and understanding, we are committed to unraveling your story and helping you to achieve your goals. Whether your goals are set to get you back on the golf course, to allow you to play with your grand kids, to manage your weight, or simply to preserve your good health, you can count on us. The "ROPE OF HOPE" is right in front of you, all you have to do is reach out.

Together, our three offices, will be walking in Laurel House's 5K as "Team Chiropractic." Look for our purple bandannas!
Yours In Health,
Dr. Heidi

We are pleased to announce that the Pennridge Wellness Center is officially a proud sponsor of the Holistic Moms Network-Central Bucks Chapter.

Their purpose is to generate national awareness, education, and support for holistic parenting and to provide a nurturing, open-minded, and respectful community for parents to share these ideals. We share a similar purpose here at PWC and are enthusiastic about sharing these principles with others in the community.

Toggery by Kate D'Arcy

One of the main reasons that Pennridge Wellness Center is such a wonderful place to be a part of, is YOU, our wonderful patients. The energy that each one of you brings to the office ties together to create an incredibly positive, healing environment. We consider you part of our chiropractic family. Whether we are hyped about the 21 day cleanse, our new mascot "Maddie," or the amazing results we are getting with Dr. Leah's latest KST technique, you always engage with us and share in our excitement. Thank you! Please take a moment to indulge in one of our favorite eco-conscious fashion finds. Toggery by Kate D'Arcy offers a collection of pieces boasting not only beautiful colors but classic, easy to wear styles that transition from casual to dressy and from season to season. We especially love Toggery because each piece is made from environmentally conscious fabrics and produced here in Pennsylvania. You can access the links to Toggery's main site as well as it's new Lux Green Living site on the right hand side of our blog. Enjoy!

October~Spinal Health Month

In recognition of October's National Spinal Health Month, I invite you all to consider the factors that impact our spinal health and overall quality of life. Remember, the most critical component to our health is our central nervous system. It originates in the brain, channels down through our spinal column, and extends to each and every part of our body. Our spines were designed to protect this delicate, intricate connection of nerves. Misalignments of the spinal bones can irritate the nervous system, thus dampening the nervous impulses travelling from the brain out to the various parts of our bodies. Thankfully, we have control over our choices, habits, and lifestyles which can have a tremedous impact on our spinal health. Take a moment to evaluate the following areas:


1. Nutrition & Supplementation

2. Exercise

3. Adequate Rest

4. Stress Management

5. Sleeping/Postural Habits

6. Regular spinal checks by your chiropractor!!

Are you making healthy choices? Each one of us at PWC is here to help you achieve optimal health and wellness. Please call on us for advice and support to improve the quality of your life. We only get one spine, one body, one life; you have the power to take yours to the next level. As always, please let us know how we can better serve your families.

Yours In Health,
Pennridge Wellness Center

THE POWER PLATE


Now that we have moved and settled into our new beautiful space, it was time I stopped making excuses and started working out. As many of you know, we added the Power Plate to the Pennridge Wellness Center as our primary workout machine.
Benefits : FitnessPower Plate® machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle, but do not have the time for a lengthy work-out three or more times a week. Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines offers a number of important benefits that will help fitness goals easily be achieved or exceeded. These benefits range from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes, such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, better range of motion, better core conditioning and stability, and faster recovery.

"I love that with the Power Plate, I can get a full workout at home in next-to-no time.
I really am impressed with the machine's ability to target and recruit specific muscles and improve my flexibility at the same time. It just feels good."
-- Hillary Swank, Oscar® winner, Actress

DR. LEAH BEGINS ACUPUNCTURE CLINIC

In one of the most memorable days of my life, our supervisors Ed Cuningham and Damini Celebre (my acupuncturist) welcomed the 2nd year class as collegues. I have never experienced such gratitude for being a healer and I look forward to many years as an acupuncturist.
