Moving Through - Counselling and Wellness

01/05/2026

Nancy and I thoroughly enjoyed hosting these evenings during the fall, and we're excited to get on the dance floor in a new location this winter. More space and easier access. Please bring clean indoor shoes.

You can dance, you can sit and sway, it's truly up to you. Guarantee you'll feel invigorated. All are welcome!

Be Moved class is a gentle, playful time to move together in community. With a blend of simple choreography and guided free dance, it's a lovely way to stay limber.

Mondays 5-6 pm in the gymnasium at the Mahone Bay Centre.

All are welcome! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Just a reminder that tomorrow we will be hosting our Holiday Connections Café! Come on in for a craft, a puzzle and a warm cup of hot chocolate!🎄

The holiday season is upon us, as we gather together with friends, family & neighbors to share and laugh and warm each other’s spirits while the winter begins to settle in. It can also be a difficult time of year, when we remember those loved ones who aren’t able to be with us anymore. But it can be a time to reflect fondly on the moments we had with them, the Holiday Cheer we were able to share. We invite you to join us for an afternoon of crafts, community and a warm drink to bring a small piece of that spirit back with some beautiful, handmade ornaments in their memory. Be it a dearly loved family member or friend, or a furry little critter that once stole your heart, warm up with a cherished memory and share it with a friend or neighbor who might also be feeling a weight in their heart. We will also have puzzles & games, or just hot chocolate, coffee or tea if you wish to simply come and enjoy a bit of community togetherness with us. Ornaments will then be strung inside the lobby to keep that warmth going as we move through the Christmas season. Come on in an help spread a bit of joy with us, Friday December 12th from 1pm to 3pm. Hope to see you there!

Warm wishes from all of us at OHC & Nova Scotia Health!

Recently, my colleague Cynthia remarked: "You know, when you began offering counselling in our space, I didn't expect there to be so much laughter."

A healthy counselling relationship can accompany you through the full range of emotions...and shared laughter is indeed good medicine. Somatic awareness and skills can help you reconnect to pleasure and joy. So yes, sometimes we'll even have some good belly laughs.

Cynthia owns Posture Perfect Health, where I have my office space. Check it out to see all that our little team has to offer.

(Photos are with volunteers. We had some fun while Julie Veinot, Photography & Prints took these shots last year.)

Starting this Thursday. We have a nice group, with room for a few more.

This six-week series offers support for nervous system wellness, with 'bite-sized' ideas, blended into a gentle movement practice.

The moves are simple and playful, including some guided free exploration. We’ll discover somatic movement themes such as start and stop, connect with rhythm, expand and contract, and follow the flow.

To register through the Municipality of Chester Recreation & Parks: www.chester.ca or call 275-3490. Feel free to message me with any questions.
