SALT SPRING ISLAND

Hello Salt Spring Islanders and all those who choose to visit or learn more about this magical place! We are Chantal (the ‘feeler‘) & Spence (the ‘healer‘) Pentland, the hosts of ‘The Island Talks‘ podcast, and writer of the wellness blog posts.

Because we want to know, connect, and become a part of this fabulous community, we decided to find all the wild and wonderful people and get the scoop on all the incredible things they are doing, as well as acquire and share classified intel on the ‘what’s what’ of SSI. 

The blog posts are intended to shed light on common health issues and the ways that I (Spence, the one on the right) approach these conditions with a blend of ancient wisdom, modern evidence-based treatment solutions, and my 20+ years practicing medicine. 

Please let us know if there is something or someone you would like us to highlight in future episodes or posts. We hope you enjoy!
