📣 Happy 25th Anniversary to us in 2025 📣


It is 25 years of operation for Bluesky Outfitting. In 2000 as we sat on our deck we watched thousands of geese and ducks lift off of Kimiwan Lake in McLennan. Kevin looked at me and said we should do a bird hunting business. 


Looking back it has been the best 25 years of our lives. We expanded into big game, then we expanded into fishing and more big game and today we are still expanding and growing our footprint in the hunting and fishing industry. 


In 2007 we became full time outfitters and we have never looked back.


What we have achieved first and foremost is having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world who have added so much to our lives. 


Spending time with like minded people while seeking a successful outcome creates so many opportunities to learn about their passions and share ours.

We operate in the Northwest Territories as Canadian WIldlife Adventures and we offer Lake trout and Grayling fishing on remote fly in lakes, we offer Muskox, Wolverine, Wolf and bear hunting, we offer wildlife viewing and canoe trips.

When I was diagnosed in January 2021, I never could have imagined that I'd end up developing an app. Going through my breast cancer treatment during those globally challenging times (you know exactly what I mean) sparked a deep desire in me to help other women manage their breast health more easily. Now, here I am, and if you're reading this, it means that the app is almost ready to launch! You'll be among the very first to know when it's live on all mobile platforms!

 

I'm feeling every emotion right now—excited, relieved, exhausted, and most of all, hopeful. I truly believe this little app on your phone will make a big difference. In the coming weeks, I'll explain how it can support your breast health and overall female health, no matter your age. My greatest wish is that you'll use this tool before ever facing a diagnosis (and may that day never come), but if you do - we will provide a lot of support during treatment, please remember: early detection is key to surviving.

 

I'm so grateful to have you here with me on this journey, and I can't wait to share more of My Breast Day with you!

Try Something Different For Different PAIN ENDING, LIFE CHANGING Results


When You FREE YOUR ENERGY at Beyond Belief Mind and Body Healing 


Why is pain so hard to get rid of?


With so many therapies, techniques and health practices out there, why isn't pain less of a problem?


All pain, big or small, is caused by stuck energy.


Pain won't end unless the stuck energy causing that pain is removed.


This is the problem with pain.


The stuck energy isn't removed.


This is no ones fault.


Simply a lack of understanding of the underlying cause.


How much time do you want to spend getting your pain ending results?


I used to live in pain everyday.


I tried many different therapies to end my pain over my life, but had to keep going back every month to keep the results I wanted.


That is, until I took the stuck energy out.


Once I got the stuck energy out, the pain stayed away for good!


Less than a year it took, once I started addressing the energy, to end my pain once and for all.


I wanted to bring this life changing idea to everyone so I created my own energy healing techniques to end this problem.


Try something different to get different results!


Rose Energy Healing and Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release are that something different!


Both of these unique therapies target energy stuck deep within the body to bring about unbelievable pain ending, life changing results!


Find yourself constantly needing to go to massage, physio or the chiropractor to get any kind of pain relief?


Will your pain just not go away?


Maybe stuck energy within your body is causing your pain.


Rose Energy Healing and Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release will remove the stuck energy behind your pain unlike any other therapy.


Massage doesn't fully release energy trapped within your organs.


Physio doesn't fully release trapped energy within your soul and spirit.


Chiro doesn't fully release trapped energy stuck deep within the muscle tissue.


Rose Energy Healing and/or Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release can do all that, plus so much more!


Get rid of your pain in less time and get the results you want faster when you try Rose Energy Healing and/or Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release!


Watch the following youtube video about Rose Energy Deep Tissue Release, Beyond Belief Mind and Body Healing and also hear client pain ending success stories! - https://youtu.be/8LAmFk2Vo9g


Or find out more at https://beyondbeliefmindbodyhealing.com/rose-energy-healing/


Call 780-882-9775 to free your stuck energy and end your pain now!


Pain ending results don't get better than this!
