Practicum Has Begun!

Well, some of you know I am in school taking massage therapy.  I am actually in my last few months - count down to June 2013. But first just a little count down to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!
I am doing some practical hours at the University of Alberta Hospital in the Pulse Generator (on site) on Wednesdays (3 to 7pm) and Fridays (1 to 6pm).  My days are booked for this week and next is getting close.  I am going to try to post my available appointments here, so people are aware of my openings.  I will also be available for hire to do mobile massage at a home, workplace or where you see fit - please email me for more details at breanne@funkyfit.ca.
Thanks for the support.

Nourish Move Thrive

Happy New Year!  One of my resolutions is to be more active with my blog.  So, here I go.........
I started getting some great emails sent to me from Alberta Milk.  There is a partnership between them and AFLCA (Alberta Fitness Leadership Certification Association - organization that certifies fitness instructors in Alberta) - I think they have great information that should be shared. 
Articles are written well, easy to understand and information is practical for anyone really! Enjoy! This topic seems fitting as well because breakfast is my favorite meal...hmmmm!
