We were never meant to weather the storms—or the seasons—alone.

Winter isn’t an invitation to hibernate in isolation, but an opportunity to gather anyway. To breathe crisp air, move our bodies, feel the grounding of nature, and be held by community even when it’s cold.

Time outside in winter supports our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing—and experiencing it alongside other women makes it even more nourishing.

If you’re feeling the pull toward connection and presence this season, we’re gathering outdoors. As we do in each season, regardless of the temperature 🥶.

Our next Women’s Winter Wellness Gathering is this Saturday from 2–4pm 🔥 .

See you outside,

Supporting new parents in the tender early days postpartum means meeting them exactly where they are.

Feeding your baby isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it was never meant to be. Whether your journey includes nursing, pumping, formula feeding, or a combination of it all, you deserve compassionate, non-judgmental 1:1 support as you find what works best for you and your baby.

As a postpartum doula, I’m here to hold space, offer guidance, and walk alongside you as you learn your baby’s cues, build confidence, and settle into this new season. Every family is unique. Every feeding journey is valid. And every parent deserves to feel supported, informed, and empowered in the early days.

If you’re craving steady, compassionate support in the early days, let’s connect. I offer no-obligation or package commitments on bookings, so even if it’s just a one time visit that you need, I’ve got you covered.

❄️THIS WEEKEND❄️

Women’s Winter Wellness Event - Yoga, Meditation/Snow Shoeing/Winter Walk, Connection, & Campfire in The Outdoor Yoga Studio: Sat Jan 10 & 17, 2-4pm

There’s something deeply nourishing about gathering outdoors in winter—crisp air on your cheeks, snow underfoot, and the steady warmth of a glowing fire inviting you to slow down and settle in. Fire Season has arrived in the Outdoor Yoga Studio, creating a sacred space to honour the quieter rhythms of the season.

Join a small circle of like-minded women for an outdoor winter wellness gathering in The Outdoor Yoga Studio in St. Andrews West, ON. Together, we’ll move, breathe, and meditate surrounded by the stillness of nature, embracing winter exactly as it is. We’ll then gather around the campfire (weather permitting) for reflection, connection, and meaningful conversation under the open sky.

This experience is an invitation to pause, step outside your routine, and reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with community. Breathe deeply. Feel the elements. Let the season support you.

Weather permitting, you’re invited to bring your own snowshoes for a gentle winter wander through the woods. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll enjoy a mindful winter walk or meditation instead. A limited number of snowshoes are available to borrow—please reach out in advance to reserve a pair.

This all-levels outdoor gathering encourages intuitive movement and breath-led flow, with plenty of options and modifications. Held entirely outdoors, this winter wellness experience offers space to release the noise of daily life, ground into your body, and share in the warmth of community—even in the heart of winter.

Warm drinks and light refreshments will be served.

🤍 May I continue to support families with love and compassion, during the biggest transitions in their lives
🤍 May I continue to create community for those longing for something more
🤍 May I continue to wander, explore, and learn — each and every day
🤍 May I never take a day for granted

I like to take vacation during the spring, summer, and winter, but honestly there’s never a perfect time to step away from the operations of running a small business — but I do it anyway.

As a small business owner, taking a vacation can feel impossible — there’s always something to do, someone to support, or a “better time” to step away. But the truth is, there’s no perfect moment.

Rest matters. Recharging matters. You matter. No matter when or for how long.

Give yourself permission to pause when needed. Your business will be better for it, and so will you.

When do you like to schedule your vacation? Do you prefer to jet away or stay local?
