The Ultimate Ways to Feel Refreshed for Spring in Mount Pleasant Village

Wellness

You might be looking forward to bringing the bike out of the garage or dusting off your tennis racket, but before you do, consider a visit to Uptown Chiropractic with Dr. Azzopardi and her team. Dr. Azzopardi’s focus is on helping people restore better function and adapt better to stress, so they can get back to doing what they love or need to do.  Working with people of all ages, she brings nearly 30 years of experience to her practice.

She recommends being proactive as we gear up to become more active. ‘We like the expression Spring tune-up, and encourage people to visit Uptown Chiropractic before they have pain or a problem. If the body is misaligned as your activity increases, it can compound imbalances in the system,’ says Dr. Azzopardi. Chiropractic care is all about improving the communication between your brain and body so you can function at your optimal potential – not only about treating existing pain. ‘When clients come in for a check-up, we conduct a consultation, exam, and create a treatment plan to address the client’s individual needs.’

Uptown Chiropractic is celebrating 10 years as part of the Mount Pleasant Village Community, and Dr. Azzopardi has lived in the community herself for nearly 30 years. ‘I love the community, and I feel very grateful to live and work here,’ she says. Just like Dr. Azzopardi herself, the clinic is warm, welcoming and friendly with efficient service and open 6 days a week including Saturdays. Schedule your ‘Spring tune-up’ today!

Skin

When it comes to feeling revitalized and ready for spring, don’t forget your skin. If you’re a woman over 40, we know just the spot.

Pink Maison Meno Skin & Body Spa is the “go-to” for all things Menopause, (skin, body, hormone, pro-aging related). A self-care boutique spot where women can address the negative concerns associated with the menopausal journey and thereafter.

The experience you’ll have here is one you won’t anywhere else in the city (or beyond), and founder Mariella Comparelli created the space for just that reason – there was a lack of resources or treatments for women in this new chapter of life.

‘I’ve worked with skin since my twenties and was instrumental in bringing medical spas to Canada. When I began going through menopause myself, I noticed there was a huge gap in the market. There were little to no resources to attain relief and women were being underserved,’ she says. So she changed that. ’We offer premium bespoke treatment plans featuring the best pro-aging ingredients backed by scientific data, through trial and error and supported by my knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the skin to ensure natural-looking gorgeous results.’ Clients also have access to a naturopath and hormone doctor for well-rounded, total wellness plans for this new chapter of life.

‘There’s a stigma attached to menopause, but if you get a handle on it before it starts and understand what’s going on, you can prevent the problems that can occur later in life,’ she says. Mariella is passionate about helping women feel their best and she’s moving the dial on the menopause stigma and women’s health statistics as she does it.

From performance trainning at LabMotus to decorating your body with tattoo, these places help you show your body some love!

Your best -furry- friend

Finally, we can’t forget a spring refresh for our furry friends. Lucky for us, Mount Pleasant Village has some wonderful pet-focused businesses, including Uberdog which offers dog boarding, daycare, dog walking, shuttle service and more! There’s Pawland, a paw-some pet grooming and supply store and Petville Spa, a high-end salon with a variety of customized grooming services.

While this shows a number of great places for you to hit this Spring, this list is by no means exhaustive of all our options! 

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone wandering the lovely streets of our village this Spring, and we hope you do so feeling refreshed and revitalized with the help of our local businesses.
