After almost two years of courses and practice facilitation, Bethany can now share she is a Trained MBCT Facilitator!

After almost 20 years of Bethany’s personal mindfulness practice, this training was the perfect way to introduce psychotherapy into services .

had the honour of attending the Wellness Fair in Hamilton this week. It was a busy afternoon, full of moon energy and community. We offered mini Seva Stress Release sessions and spread the word that our counseling services are FREE for anyone with a Status card (covered by NIHB) .

We also got to learn more about resources available to clients from and many more.

A little sneak peak at the new digs! It wasn’t really planned but we got an opportunity for a bigger space with more flow of energy (plus a bathroom…bonus!), so we made the move! So grateful for this opportunity and hope our clients enjoy the new space as much as we do.

Oh…and it’s just next door to our old office, so don’t worry, you’ll still be able to find us for your next appointment.

Vídeo to follow once we get the final pieces and pics put up.

2 Years Already! It really is hard to believe how quickly the past year has gone and so much that has evolved at Sage Holistic OT. The journey as a new entrepreneur has been enlightening and therapeutic on both a personal and business level. For example, recognizing habits of mind and seeing what can unfold when one shifts to a growth mindset.

Our first year was our ‘Year of Yes’, and in true Ying/Yang style, this past year has been the “Year of No”. Recognizing limits and boundaries as given structure and consistency.

Some highlights...
🌿Graduated from Hamilton Starter Company Plus Program
🌿Completed first Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy course facilitation
🌿½ way done Osteopathic Manual Practitioner training…which means bodywork can now include Myofascial, Ligamentous, Counterstrain and Muscle Energy techniques
🌿Able to offer NIHB fully funded sessions in 2 locations, expanding access to services to the Indigenous community.

And the ball keeps rolling! Stay tuned for what we have planned for our 3rd year. My prediction is it will be a more balanced year with “Yes and No”...allowing to expand where it feels right and permission to say no when it's just too much.

Some intentions we plan to manifest…
🌿A Mindfulness Group Therapy course covered by NIHB
🌿Continuing Osteo training by adding skills such as Visceral and Cranial Sacral certifications
🌿and…._____________(I'll leave this one blank for some creative space for Spirit to jump in)..

We recently got to see the movie Inside Out 2 by Pixar and couldn't help but see the parallels to Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and the movie.

If you've used mindfulness in your life, chances are you will like this movie too. And, if you have seen the movie and like its key messages, maybe MBCT is the right type of therapy for you.

If you're interested in learning more about MBCT or would like to be added to our waitlist for the next 8-week group sessions, send us a DM.
