I have been going to Dr. Norm Detillieux for 1 year. The very first visit was very thorough.. I was in a bad depression, not wanting to do much at all... sleeping 11 or 12 hours a day. I had no motivation, was eating fast food and drinking too much alcohol. I was in chronic pain from being hit by a car when I was a child and was taking pain meds. It was time to make some changes.
I honestly thought it was very strange to have 4 people in the adjustment room at the same time, but now I love it and understand why... we are all connected - energy is everywhere. Dr. Norm has taught me how to allow the energy to flow. I can actually feel it move around in my body and can control it now. I can even release my pain by meeting it and asking it what it is trying to tell me - it's mostly telling me to MOVE and release negative thoughts and release emotions. For 20 weeks the lifehouse sends you a video each week to help guide you through this journey. I am actually watching them again.. as I didn't really understand it all the first time and its making much more sense now.
Dr. Norm has even created a very detailed calendar to help plan your success in life. I have just started using it and it is absolutely amazing. I have now learned to make healthier choices for my body, I have lost weight, I am way more flexible and I am no longer taking anti-depressants. My body has changed immensely.. I can now sit cross-legged which I have never been able to do since the accident. So cool! Im only sleeping 7-8 hours a day now... so much more time to do things I love! I very rarely take any medication for pain anymore... I can often just release it myself! - still working on this.
I was very unhappy with my job. Dr. Norm has helped me to tap into my own energy and the energy in the field... in the past month... i have now quit my old job and actually started my dream business of doing ladies retreats and creating a women's community for wellness and fun. Dr. Norm even did a 2 hour workshop at my last retreat which the ladies loved so much! I can't thank Dr. Norm and his wife, Heather-Lynne enough for how they have helped me to change my life. I have so much more energy now - than I ever thought possible and am sharing it with everyone I meet. Thank you thank you thank you Dr. Norm & Heather-Lynne! Gina

Joining Lifehouse was one of the best decisions I've made for my health and wellness journey. Dr. Norm has helped my in so many ways that I feel my life has been truly enriched since starting. I've learned so much from Heather-Lynne and Dr. Norm in a small amount of time! I'm very grateful for being able to connect with myself in a new, healthier way! How funny that how we breathe and hold ourselves is truly that powerful! I really recommend Lifehouse if your looking for somewhere that makes you feel comfortable, is affordable and is so positively life changing.

I only began my journey with Dr. Norm and Heather Lynn in June/July and already what a difference it has made. Life changing. I had a car accident quite a few years ago and although I had seen many practitioners and rehab, I hit what I would now call a plateau. This is as good as its going to get. I loved dancing and still found it painful so just gave up on it and things similar to that. One day in June I met Dr. Norm and well, that plateau has changed dramatically in only a few months. my right side was injured so I rarely put all my weight on it. Now I catch myself leaning all my weight on my right and I'm back to dancing with no pain. But folks, its so much more than that. This is only a small detail. I'm 61 and I feel like I'm coming back to life. I don't hurt all the time, even at a low level. I can lean forward and touch the floor very comfortably without feeling such a tightness in my lower back. And so much more. I assumed the older I got, the worse it would get. That's not true. I feel better today than the past 18 years. It works on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Very wholistic. if you are open to it, don't be surprised if you receive a few epiphanies along your journey on his table.

I look forward to each appointment and in reaching even more levels of understanding.

I have been seeing Dr Norm for more than a year and find I find these visits to be a very valuable addition to my health regime! Particularly since I am a landscaper, and I am continually injuring myself.
Dr. Norm is very professional and caring and is a great friend as well and I highly recommend his services...he also has some very nice shirts! :)

Dr. Norm and Heather Lynne came into my life at the time I was ready to heal. I spent the next nearly 10 months with them, gestating, building new connections in my body.

For me the most fascinating aspect of Network Spinal Chiropractic care is that through a gentle touch, my body would then release itself, sometimes with an audible cracking sound. I spent a lot of time both on the table and in wonderment post-adjustment as this happened, honestly wondering if it was real sometimes. When I brought my athletic son in for adjustments, his experiences settled it for me. Dr. Norm offers gentle and effective care for the body and the soul and while a part of me is curious what would have occurred had I found him 18 years ago when he opened his doors, I know that now was the time for us and I'm grateful for our experience and knowing that he is there when I have a need with many easily accessible adjustment times available for my convenience. I am glad to call these folks my friends now and deeply grateful for our experiences on the table.

I started my journey here in March of 2023, working in the construction industry my whole life work related stress and injuries have occurred over my time. riddled with neck and back pain I started to see a rmt. which was great for temporary relief by the next day my pain would return. I happened across norm at a wellness expo, am I ever glad I talked to him and got a consultation. after a few adjustments there was a noticeable difference in the quality of life I've been experiencing less pain, more energy and better sleeps. most recently I had an accident while out qauding and rolled it, I had some whiplash, very sore neck. with one appointment afterwards the stiffness and soreness basically disappeared. two days afterwards I'm feeling 100%. I highly recommend norm for your chiropractic needs. I feel like I've pulled a full 180 on my life, not only do I physically feel better, aswell as mentally, this man knows his stuff. I'm very excited for my continuing at his practice. 10/10 do yourself a favor and join this community he has created.

Both Dr Norm and his staff have worked together with my husband and I to get to the root of our concerns. Over the past several months we have worked hard and consistently, with Dr Norm's guidance, to teach our minds/bodies to respond more effectively to our environment. We are both feeling much stronger and virtually free of pain that we have had for many years. If we sense a "flare-up" might be on the horizon, the techniques we have practiced with Dr Norm 'kick into action' and so far, have been very helpful in averting
any pain. We are both more active than previously, in mind and body. We continue to work with Dr Norm and to discuss and increase our personal awareness of the connection of mind, body and spirit. It is a life practice for better health IMO:)

As my husband and I were driving to the Lifehouse to have a session with Dr. Norman last week, we were
asking ourselves what it was that kept drawing us with such excitement back again and again to his work.
What we came up with was “coming back to life.” We are both in our 70”s and have been wanting to keep
moving and letting go of our stuff, (the stuff that makes us sick) so that we may enjoy the rest of our lives in
health and wholeness.
Through the incredible energy, guidance, and safety that Dr. Norman creates we are freed up to allow
ourselves to experience the truth of who we are beyond the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
limitations we impose upon ourselves.
The space if so peaceful, the music is calming, Dr. Norman speaks quietly, using few words
Our cells are being infused with healing energy to help shift the areas in our body
that need to transform so that we may become the best versions of ourselves.
Dr. Normans work is wholistic. He is guiding us to see the bigger picture of who we are as humans in
physical bodies.
Thank You so much Dr. Norman for shining the light on us so that we can wake up and remember the real
gift of being alive.

After serving in the Armed Forces for close to 30 years and sustaining several catastrophic injuries over the course of my life time, I found myself in constant pain. Since I retired, I’ve had back, knee and shoulder surgeries but still used the services of chiropractors and massage therapists regularly in an effort to stay reasonably active for the past twenty two years. The chiropractic treatments consisted of either, dropping the center of the table down and jumping on my back or a mechanical gun to move the spine. These would offer some temporary relief but the disabling pain always returned. Then I was diagnosed with early onset of COPD.
Realizing I needed to make a complete lifestyle change, I sold or gave away everything I owned and in September moved to BC for a better climate. One of the first things I did was to search out a chiropractor and was lucky enough to find the “Life House” Clinic run by Heather and Norman.
During the intake with Heather I listed all my injuries and ailments and said that my usual treatments were based on frequent adjustments to realign the locations where there was mechanical damage.
When Norman came in he was also interested in the types of stress that I had been under for most of my life. When I said that what I needed was adjustments, he told me that he is certainly qualified to do that. Then said” but what if I told you that I could show you an alternative, would be willing to try it?” I replied that I was willing to try anything since I planned on making a life style change anyway.
In a nutshell, Normans method is a more holistic approach consisting of “low force adjustment” and reducing the stressors in your life. Learning breathing and relaxation techniques to deal with the ones you have no control over, and leading a healthier life style in general. Norman has tought me that your mind and body have the ability to heal itself. He’ll teach you strength and flexibility exercises combined with the breathing techniques to enable you to heal your own body by super charging it with oxygen. I will admit I was skeptical in the beginning; but, as time went on and I practiced what he showed me during my appointments, I soon realized that I haven’t needed any adjustments. I have had one back event since I began seeing Dr. Norman, but the duration of the incapacitation was reduced from a matter of weeks to a few days.
However; what really shocked me was that through the breathing exercises my pulse oxygen level has shot up from 93% to 98%!I can exercise again and the swelling in my hands have reduced to the extent that I can (after a very long hiatus) play my guitar again. At this point I have lost 21 lbs, I find I’m far more relaxed and focused during the day and I’m sleeping much better. My energy level has increased dramatically and I am starting to put muscle on again. I will continue to visit the “Life House” in the future as both a thankful client and a friend.
