Sometimes you just need to celebrate!

We were gifted a ✨ ✨ bottle of vintage 2010 champagne 🍾 by the buyers of the house we sold in Nova Scotia in 2020. Initial thoughts were… let’s save this for a really special occasion.

5 years later, it was still sitting in our cupboard waiting for that perfect occasion. It was just sitting there, gathering dust, and we were waiting for a “very special” occasion, that would likely never come. How long should we wait for something big worth celebrating?

Over the weekend I had an epiphany — let’s open the bottle and celebrate! Why not? We have so much to celebrate now. Why wait any longer when we can revel in all that we have accomplished thus far. So cheers 🥂 to all that we were, all that we are, and all that’s to come. Let’s celebrate:

✨ Traveling to 34 countries
✨ 15 years since meeting the love of my life
✨ 10 year wedding anniversary
✨ 7 years of doing doula work
✨ 2 successful cycles of IVF
✨ Growing our family to include two little boys
✨ Becoming a mother
✨ 3 years living in Ontario
✨ Corey’s birthday

And so much more. The list could go on and on and on. I have so much to be thankful for. This is a good reminder to not waste another moment, but to celebrate “just because”.

Life isn’t perfect and society conditions us to wait for “what’s next” or to hold off for something better (aka something worth celebrating). Don’t listen.

Life is worth celebrating NOW, for any reason. The big, the small, and the hard moments. For the just because reasons. Just celebrate. You are worth it.

What are you celebrating this week?

Are we supposed to know what we are doing?

Being an entrepreneur feels a bit like standing on one foot while juggling a dozen roles. Can you relate?

When I started my business, I had no idea how much would be involved — from the small, mundane details to the big, heart-filling moments. Some days it’s a balancing act; other days it’s pure flow.

But every bit of effort, every late night, and every learning curve is so worth it. 🩵🤍

How do you choose the right doula for your family?

Choosing a doula is a big (and very personal) decision. I believe in the right Doula for each family, so I know when a family chooses ✨ME✨ to work with them — they’ve in a way chosen me to be a part of their little family. What a special gift that is.

Here are a few tips for choosing a doula:

🤍Trust your instincts.🤍 You should feel comfortable, safe, and supported in their presence. You are literally trusting them with your family.

🤍Ask about experience + training.🤍 Learn what type of support they provide.

🤍Discuss your values + preferences.🤍 A great doula aligns with your philosophy and communication style.

🤍Schedule a consultation🤍. Chemistry matters — connection is just as important as credentials.

🤍Clarify services + availability.🤍 Make sure their offerings and schedule fit your family’s needs.

Every family deserves a doula who feels like the right fit — someone who listens, supports, and walks beside you through one of life’s biggest transitions. 🩵🤍

I’m so honoured to share in wellness with a group of powerhouse women and entrepreneurs who are truly making waves 🌊 in their communities.

Like the seasons ❄️, our small businesses ebb and flow — we pivot, adjust, adapt, and keep showing up. The more we soften into that rhythm, the easier the road becomes.
One thing I’ve learned along the way: it’s so much easier when you walk beside others who just get it. The support, the encouragement, the shared laughs — it’s priceless.

It’s always collaboration over competition around here. We’re a community, and you don’t have to navigate entrepreneurship alone — because it can be a lonely road when you try to do it all yourself.

If you’d love to join our next wellness meet-up for service providers, wellness practitioners, and perinatal support workers, drop your email in my inbox and I’ll add you to the waitlist.

After a short walk through nature, you’ll come across — a one-of-a-kind wellness space nestled in the trees right here on my property in St. Andrews West, ON.

This outdoor studio is where we gather year-round to move, breathe, and connect — a cozy, down-to-earth space for yoga and wellness events in every season.

And if you love to explore, there’s more to come! We’re expanding our trails and footpaths to make even more of the forest accessible — including the quiet, hidden corners that feel worlds away. 🌲

The new trails will open this winter ❄️ as we launch our yoga, snowshoeing, and campfire day retreats.

Because a little weather never stops us nature lovers and explorers alike.

It’s November so that means FIRE 🔥 SEASON! All yoga and wellness events in the will include a cozy campfire and warm drinks.

Our next yoga, meditation, connection, & campfire mini-retreat is coming up on November 29th, 2-4pm.

There’s something magical about gathering outdoors as the air turns crisp and the fire glows warm, ready and open to embrace the rhythms of the season.

Join a small group of like-minded people for a nourishing mini wellness retreat in The Outdoor Yoga Studio in St. Andrews West, ON. Move, breathe, and meditate surrounded by nature’s beauty, then settle in around the campfire (weather permitting) for heartfelt conversation and reflection. This is your moment to pause, reconnect, and realign with what truly matters — before the next season unfolds. Step outside. Breathe deeply. Come be part of something special.

This all-levels outdoor event invites you to move intuitively, flowing through breath-linked postures with options for modifications along the way. Surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors, you’ll find space to step away from the busyness and “to-do’s,” reconnect with yourself, and share in community.

Despite what people might think postpartum doulas do, we take care of mothers first and then their babies.

I had a postpartum mom ask me if I had to stay with the baby (who was sleeping in the bassinet being watched by the father) or if I could go out alone with her. My response: “no, I stay with the mother, I’m here for you! What do you need today?”.

This 4 week postpartum mama wanted to spend part of our shift getting out of the house to do some shopping. She was feeling cooped up in the house and wanted a new perspective independent from baby and to feel herself. It was a quick trip to one store, but it was just the change from her routine that she was looking for. As she shopped, I was able to answer her questions as we sipped on lattes and laughed at the 90’s inspired outfits at Carters. Even the simplest outings can uplift the spirt of a mother who’s feeling lost in the postpartum fog.

Support looks different for everyone and what someone needs one day might be completely different from the next. We meet people where they are.
