🤍SO GRATEFUL🤍 to have been featured in 2025 Visitor Guide on page 55, along with some of our counties most spectacular and unique nature-inspired local businesses.

We’re coming up on almost three years of living in SDG and I’ve quickly learned that there’s no shortage of things to do in our region. I’m still working my way through my SDG bucket list. The best part is there’s things to do in every season, —including visiting me in the Outdoor Studio for a yoga class or wellness event.

Launching an outdoor yoga studio and wellness space on my home property officially one year ago continues to surprise me and as crazy as my idea sounds I’m so glad I went for it.

There’s something special about doing yoga 🧘‍♀️ outside in all seasons (and something extra special about September — our “second summer”). This week’s small group twinkly lights yoga class was cozy and grounding. We had a great group ready roll out their mat on the earth 🌎 and settle in. The gentle and nourishing class took place at twilight with the sound of evening peppers and the twinkle & flicker of fairy lights and candles. Our natural environment 🌲 was the perfect backdrop to go inward and slow down during a busy season. If this sounds like a treat, check out our upcoming classes and events in the outdoor studio. Not to mention that we have a great community. 😉

Can you believe it is September already? It feels like yesterday when summer was just around the corner, yet here we are on the cusp of Fall. Is it just me or does it feel like a second summer with this amazing weather? I am enjoying less humidity and cooler temperatures though.

After a short break this summer, group yoga classes and wellness events resume this week!

We are trying something new by hosting 60 minute yoga classes in the outdoor studio and we can't wait for our September twinkly lights lights yoga classes - think gentle nourishing yoga at twilight, with the sound of evening peppers, and the twinkle and flicker of fairy lights and candles. Sounds like perfection to me. Join us!

We are also planning some unique outdoor events to be scheduled soon so keep a look out on our socials and website.

Upcoming classes:

60min Yoga - Sept 17, 6:00-7:15pm (THIS WEEK)​
60min Yoga - Sept 26, 6:00-7:15pm

Today’s a big day for our family as we watch both of little boys head off to school. As an educator and parent, every September is a new beginning and fresh start. This September feels like an especially ✨B I G✨ transition and adjustment for me as a mother of two school age children. It feels like yesterday when we were going through IVF treatments to grow our family and eventually meet our little baby, yet here we are nearly 6 years later with two gorgeous boys heading off to school 🚌.

2025 is my year to find myself again out of the postpartum fog and trenches of raising littles. This fall will be a big adjustment for me as I rediscover who I am as an individual, entrepreneur, and mother to school aged children. For those who have known me throughout my different chapters over the last 6 years, you’ve seen me juggle various roles and positions all while going through IVF, navigating postpartum, moving provinces, and having a partner who works out of the country the majority of the time. The time has come where I need more time for my family and more time for myself. I’m ready for what this next chapter will bring and excited for where my business flows 🌊. If you have any advice as I navigate new waters, I’m all ears. Share with me your stories.

It’s 🎉 MY BIRTHDAY 🎉 and I’ll travel 🧭 if I want to!

My love for travel has been reignited this summer with travels to ✈️:📍 NFLD , 〰️ 📍 NS, 〰️ 📍 PEI, 〰️ and📍 Guadeloupe! I definitely got my ocean 🌊 and turquoise water 🏝️ fill this summer. My heart and soul are so full 🩵🤍. The coast is the place that gives me so much inspiration and taking this summer off has allowed me a much needed reflection time.

It has been a B I G summer of travel for us. I haven’t done this much traveling since before we started to grow our family and were navigating fertility treatments. I’ve enjoyed doing some exploring with the boys (NFLD & NS), getting away for my annual trip with my girlfriend (PEI), and celebrating my 10 year wedding anniversary with my hubby in Guadeloupe. Now I’m dreaming about where to go next. For now, I’ll enjoy my birthday and the rest of the summer at home in my happy place. The property 🌱 is coming along nicely and more events will be scheduled soon.

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.
