🌸 Mindful Mondays 🌷

Maybe you too look nothing like what you’ve been through and maybe that’s the quiet miracle of healing. ❤️‍🩹

This Mindful Monday, let this be your reminder that while we all carry our own individual experiences and limitations, they don’t have to define the tone of our week. We can choose to acknowledge where we’re feeling stretched, tender, or growing, without letting it spill into everything else around us.

🌺 There is still delight to be found: in small moments, in steady breaths, and in choosing presence over pressure. Let this week be flavoured by grace, not limitation.

Mindful Mondays, healing is not linear, maybe it’s healing, maybe it’s maybelline, trauma care, for the ladies, chronic pain, betrayal, abandonment, neglect, trauma, mental wellbeing, overcoming our pasts.

🌸Wellness Wednesday 🌸

In person or online classes….the age old debate!

Yes, online classes are convenient, can be cheaper, and are potentially more environmentally friendly. They became really popular during the pandemic due to global restrictions. And some teachers kept them beyond.

But, in my humble opinion, there’s nothing like in person classes. I believe in them so much that they are the only classes I offer now. In person classes may require you to get up, get dressed and get out of your house, but they can also cultivate discipline in the same sense. In person classes will always have more attention given to your individual needs, reducing potential injuries as you can’t “hide” in class (unless you’re attending a class of 50 or more, in which case is whole other issue!) They allow the teacher to see you from all angles snd to ensure that your form and alignment are healthy and to cue into your mood as well. They also cultivate a sense of community, which can support good overall mental health.

Mindful Monday (not Mindfull Monday!)

🏔️ Healing takes time. Effort. Courage.
Just like the earth takes time to warm again after winter, our hearts and bodies also need space to mend, restore, and grow stronger.

🌸 The beauty of spring reminds us that what once looked dormant was quietly preparing for new life all along. When we commit to the gentle work of healing—through rest, mindful movement, prayer and supportive routines—the result is something deeply beautiful: renewed strength, deeper peace, and the quiet confidence that light truly does emerge from the darkness. 🌱

The balancing posture “tree pose” reminds me of this in my body. That balance is a daily rhythm. That it is a focus on progress, not perfection. That I may fall, but I can always get back up. That’s the strength of the posture, and the resilience of being a cycle breaker.

💙 May you have the courage to face your darkness today. Knowing that the rest of your days will be filled with light, love and hope.

A good one from Louise Hay but I’m amending it for me today as follows:
“I enjoy meditation and contemplative prayer. Quieting my soul in solitude allows me to hear the whispers of the Holy Spirit.” 🙏🏼

Affirm: 'I enjoy meditation. Going within helps alleviate stress and allows me to hear what the Universe wants me to know.' 💙

💕Wellness Wednesday 💕
Delight is not frivolous. It’s formational. When we intentionally choose moments of joy — treating ourselves to a great cup of coffee, feeling the sunlight on our face, soft music in the morning, enjoying some slow stretching before bed — we signal safety to the nervous system.

In a world that glorifies hustle, delight becomes our resistance. It reminds our bodies we are not in danger. We are allowed to soften. To breathe. To receive.

This month, I’m practicing delight as discipline — not chasing dopamine, but cultivating presence. What would change if delight became part of your wellness routine?

👉🏼 Let me know in the comments one small delight you’re choosing today.

Spring Checklist: 5 Ways to Care for Your Body & Nervous System in seasonal shifts

Here in BC, even though it’s February it feels like spring! The sunshine is shining, the temperatures are rising and there’s been no snow this year (yet!?!) Dare I say….is it spring or “fake spring”??? Well slow your roll girl! I get your passion for the return of the warmth but let’s not jump in with both feet yet….

Here are 5 ways to slowly prepare your body for the upcoming seasonal shift:

1️⃣ Check in with your energy
Notice how your body feels before doing more. Adjust your pace accordingly. No need to rush. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

2️⃣ Prioritize movement that feels good
Gentle walks, supported stretches, breathwork — do what nourishes, not what strains. Start slow.

3️⃣ Sync with light & rhythm
Gradually adjust your sleep and wake patterns with the light of the longer days, but don’t force early mornings. And enjoy extra sleep prior to the seasonal shift.

4️⃣ Hydrate & nourish seasonally
Include more fresh foods, but continue to include warm and comforting where your body still needs it. Try cold drinks during the day and warm ones at night.

5️⃣ Build in daily pauses
An intentional 2–5 minutes of stillness or mindful breathing can reset your nervous system.

🤨 Which was your favorite tip???
