A big thanks to SDG Tourism 'Industry Insider' for mentioning Turquoise Compass Wellness. I'm so appreciative for the recognition and passionate about offering mindful wellness experiences in the great outdoors right on my home property.

Group wellness events are paused for July while I'm on vacation and will resume in August. Stay tuned for the next small group connection event.

Happy Summer!

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 from Atlantic Canada! So happy to have made it back to the east coast 🌊 . It has been two years since I’ve been east during the summer. I’m officially ‘on vacation’ and enjoying some family time. I’ll be working virtually during the month of July, with in-person client support resuming in August.

Happy summer ☀️!

Happy June! Your NEWSLETTER has been sent out.

Now that June has hit it feels as though time has sped up and that summer is right around the corner. Summer is my season and I live for it, but it always seem to go by way too quickly. Instead of working in Ottawa with clients for the majority of the summer like I did last year, I have decided to take most of this summer off. Being new to the area, I still haven't had the opportunity to fully explore the summer offerings in our region and this is the year to do it.

With the bugs being horrendous in the woods it's looking like any outdoor events won't resume until August at the earliest. Until then, we are continuing to expand our trails, clean up around the studio area, and plant perennials.

In a few weeks I'll be jetting off with my boys to start our summer adventures to a couple of my favourite destinations - Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, plus a new one - Guadeloupe. I'll be traveling until the end of July and then I'll be back in Eastern Ontario for August to enjoy the best of the region and hopefully schedule some nourishing wellness events.

If you're wanting to see a specific wellness event outside, what are you hoping for? Also, if you have any summer "must-do's" in Cornwall & SDG, be sure to reach out and let me know.

💝GIVEAWAY💝 I’ve teamed up with The Naked Nursing Tank to bring you a spring 🌱 giveaway for doulas, new parents, and expectant parents (or friends of parents/expectant parents to grab as a gift). Naked Tank, as seen on the Dragons Den is revolutionizing postpartum by empowering parents and expectant parents to feel comfortable and confident while nursing their babies any time, and any place. They are inspiring parents to feel their best in their postpartum body by wearing the clothes they enjoy and the bra that works best for them. Naked Tank’s innovative deep scoop neckline offers the most coverage, while maintaining the easiest access and coverage for feeding-on-demand for every on-the-go lifestyle.

I traveled frequently with my babies and I wish I had a Naked Tank when I was nursing my sons on airplanes and in busy airports. I remember wearing a stretchy cotton tank top underneath my shirt to maintain coverage while nursing in public places, but it wasn’t a perfect solution. Had I known of this handy tank, it would have been a maternity essential. Naked Tank is now a staple in my doula bag — sharing the convenient tool with parents and expectant parents who feel this fit, comfort, and style can work for them.

With our GIVEAWAY you can get your hands on your very own naked tank for your doula bag, for personal use, or as a gift for someone you know who is a new or expectant parent.

🌼 May’s 🌼 newsletter has been sent out! Check your spam & promotions folders in case they landed there.

It's spring, so that means we are hard at work outside in the Outdoor Yoga Studio & Wellness Event Space and continually developing the trails, property, and surrounding areas. The first year we focused on the physical structure and initial trail. We are finally in the next phase of the outdoor studio development - landscaping and trail expansion. We are hopeful for a snowshoe trail to be ready for the winter season in early 2026. Recently my boys and I planted countless perennials throughout the property. I can't wait for them to be in full bloom. Our dream of having flowers wildly roaming isn't that far off. Just like spring, it's a fresh new beginning and hopefully a new look for the space. The natural studio beautification process will not happen overnight and I'm reminding myself to be patient and that all good things come to those who wait. With spring in full bloom, that also means that the bugs are fiercely out of control, which means we bring our events inside until the buggy season has calmed.

I used to think that spring was one of my least favorite seasons due to the dark clouds, abundance of rain, and unpredictable weather, but I've grown to appreciate this season for what it is - a time for transformations and new growth. I've realized since moving to Eastern Ontario that spring is my season for retrospection, reflection, planning, and excitement for what's to come. After a long slow winter hibernation, this brief season is necessary to nurture, blossom, and launch our ideas and goals into fruition. As spring awakens the world around us, it’s the perfect time to invite new beginnings, explore creativity, and set fresh intentions. Please join me in this sentiment.

My favourite creativity wellness workshop is back, but this time in Alexandria, at The Glengarry Market.

Spring Creativity: Mala Making Workshop at The Glengarry Market, May 29, 6:00-7:30pm

📿 Reconnect With Your Creativity 📿

Join a small, welcoming group for a peaceful wellness evening at The Glengarry Market. As spring awakens the world around us, it’s the perfect time to invite new beginnings, explore your creativity, and set fresh intentions. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create a Mala bracelet using a color palette drawn from Spring's beauty — each bead a reflection of your journey and the season’s inspiration. Come ground yourself, connect with like-minded people, and leave with a beautiful bracelet, lovingly made by your own hands, echoing the colors and calm of the natural world.

“Mala” is a Sanskrit word meaning “garland” or a string of beads.

Traditionally used in meditation and mindfulness practices, malas can also be worn as beautiful, intentional jewelry. Each mala carries personal meaning — symbolizing connections, intentions, or reminders of your goals. Beyond their beauty, many believe malas offer comfort, focus, and the healing energy of the natural materials they’re made from. They’re more than an accessory — they’re a meaningful part of your journey.

We will be working with Hematite and other complementary crystals and stones. Hematite is a powerful grounding stone, known for its calming and stabilizing energy.

It supports strength and balance— helping you feel centered and safe as you move through life’s transitions. Hematite is also believed to enhance clarity and focus, making it a beautiful ally for manifestation and setting clear intentions. Spring is a time of transformation, and hematite brings the grounding strength needed to grow with intention. It connects you to the earth’s steady rhythm, offering balance as you step into your next chapter.

Your Mala Making experience includes:

-A warm welcome with introductions and a grounding meditation
-Guided mala design and intention setting
-Insightful discussion on how to use your mala in daily life — for happiness, mindfulness, and support during challenging times
-Hands-on tutorial and creation of a mala bracelet (4mm and 6mm stone sizes will be available)
-A pewter or stainless steel charm of your choice to personalize your bracelet
-A guided connection circle to share and reflect
-ADD ON: the option to make additional mala bracelets for the discounted price of $20/each

Date: May 29, 2025
Time: 6:00-7:30pm
Investment: $35 per person (all fees included)
