Look at these gorgeous works created for our clinic by the incredibly talented Sarah Willett. Aren’t they great?
Sarah Rose Willett is a local artist, working in oil, acrylic, inks, charcoal and sculpture. She is a graduate of the Fine Arts Program at Sir Wilfred Grenfell University.
The Artist Statement for these pieces reads:
“These three pieces “Gymnast”, “Dancer” and “Swimmer” go together as a triptych focusing on the movement of the human body. Using strong dark lines on soft textured rice paper, I have chosen this contrast to mimic the strength in movement of the female form, while also showing its softness and grace”.
Thank you Sarah. We are proud to display your work in our clinic.
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Tracey Wentzell, Orthopaedic Surgeon has moved her practice to Veitch Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre. Dr. Wentzell brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with her – Welcome, we are so very glad that you have joined us!

Here is a simple healthy Cajun Chicken Pasta recipe:

• 1 pound chicken breast strips
• 1-2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1/3 cup skim milk
• 1 tbsp flour

Directions:
In a small blender make a slurry by combining milk, flour and cream cheese. Set aside. Season chicken generously with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and salt.

Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray and add half of the chicken. Sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until done, set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set aside.
Add olive oil to the skillet and reduce to medium; add bell peppers, onions, and garlic to skillet, sauté 3-4 minutes.
Add mushrooms and tomatoes and sauté 3-4 more minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with 1/4 tsp salt, garlic powder and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
