✨R E F L E C T I O N S ✨My son recently turned 9 years old. It feels like it was yesterday that I was holding my little baby boy in my arms. And now it feels like he’s growing up too quickly.

I take a moment to reflect on the previous year every time it’s his birthday. Caleb has been, and continues to be, my greatest teacher. Being his Maman has allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined possible. He has encouraged me to show up as a strong, empowered, and courageous woman.

His appreciation for life, his courage to take risks, his charismatic personality, his curious spirit, and his loving heart are all character traits that I admire. I enjoy following his passions and have learned a lot this past year. (especially about playing drums and hockey goalies!)

I will continue to evolve and grow as a human being to be able to show up as the best version of myself for Caleb. Loving him unconditionally is my most precious gift. From the moment he was born, he has shined a radiant light in my life✨ I will always be his biggest
fan 💕

✨ W E L C O M E ✨ I have new followers and wanted to welcome each one of you. I am Dr. Mélanie Robinson, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Edmonton, Alberta. I practice at the beautiful clinic with an amazing team. I truly am passionate about empowering patients to improve their lifestyle and become a healthier version of themselves.

My practice focuses on treating children and women. Several of my patients are busy moms like me. I understand the beautiful chaos of parenthood while balancing work, self-care, extracurricular activities, etc. I treat many women who are exhausted, emotional and hormonal. I treat many kids who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, asthma, allergies, eczema and digestive concerns. I also treat many auto-immune conditions in my practice.

Fun facts about me:

✨I am a hockey goalie mom & team manager (my son is in his 4th year of hockey and 1st year of playing in net)

✨I am raised in the small town of Bonnyville, AB

✨I had a satellite clinic in Bonnyville from 2012-2016

✨ My first language is French, and I treat several patients in French

✨ I am an only child (I’m grateful to have several close friends that are my “sisters”)

✨ My favourite colours are blush pink and gold

✨ I was vegetarian for 15 years (and I was vegan for part of that time)

✨ I have played hours of hockey in the basement with my son (keeps me in shape and I love it!)

✨ I enjoy decluttering and organizing

✨I love being silly and making people laugh


Thank you to all my amazing patients and followers 💕

My heart aches for Jasper. 💔 It’s residents. Its local businesses. Its wildlife. It’s pristine beauty. This is one of my favourite places on earth. I have experienced some of my most cherished memories there.

Let’s keep praying for rain, for all the brave humans fighting the fires, for the evacuees and for our planet.

If you are an evacuee who needs support, please reach out ❤️

✨C E L E B R A T I O N ✨This is 40. The past weekend I was blessed to celebrate my birthday with close family & friends. The heartfelt connections, laughter, fun activities, and the showering of love have truly nourished my heart.

Reflecting on the past decade, I am grateful for all the beautiful people in my life. I celebrate my accomplishments. I am proud of learning to speak my voice and honouring my true authentic self.

✨ I have learned to listen to my inner voice and trust that it guides me to what is in my best interest.

✨ I have had to overcome some challenges (and continue to do so), but trust that I am resilient and will continue to grow amongst the hardships.

✨ My most meaningful moment in my 30s was becoming Caleb’s maman. He is my most precious gift and continues to inspire me to become a calmer, stronger & more adventurous version of myself.

My intention for the next decade of my life is to energize, realign and rejuvenate my body, mind & spirit.

✨I told my son I will become the strongest version of myself in my 40s. He has taken that seriously and we played numerous sports together on my birthday (tennis, hockey, soccer!).

✨I will give my body & mind nourishment. I have not had any alcohol this year and may continue to avoid it as I recognize my hormones are more balanced and I feel more vitality without it.

✨I will commit to regulate my nervous system and surround myself with others who make me feel emotionally safe.

✨I will slow down my pace of life & release the guilt of rest. Cultivating inner peace requires a calm mind which needs periods of rest.

✨Finally, I will continue to work on my own healing journey, which inspires me to show up as the best version of myself for my son, my family, my friends, and my patients. Doing our own healing work can have a ripple effect into other’s lives and I recognize that is one of my life’s missions ❤️

✨ S H I N E B R I G H T ✨ “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

The world has felt heavy lately. There continues to be a lot of darkness and sadness that surrounds us. Amongst these feelings, a sense of discomfort may arise within your nervous system. I have felt it. This feeling is a sense of unease and constriction. I have chosen to dive deeper into exploring that feeling even if it felt uncomfortable.

Throughout my exploration, I have felt an inner transformation that is guiding me to embrace my inner light. It’s a sense of knowing that all will be well. It’s a sense of inner calmness. It’s a sense of coming home to myself. Surrendering to the darkness is a courageous step forward in the journey of life.

Today is a powerful day with the solar eclipse among us. It is a time to let go of what no longer serves your highest self. It is a transformative time to embrace new beginnings and allow your light to shine bright ✨

✨A L I G N M E N T ✨ My word for 2024.

At the beginning of each new year, I like to meditate on my intentions for the year ahead. I also like to set a word for that year. I find it’s beneficial to reflect on where we are at in our lives and on where we intend to move forward over the next year.

I used to set myself goals for the year but find it more beneficial to set a word and some intentions.

I looked back in my journal on my previous words from the last 2 years and noticed they all started with “A”. 2022 was Awakening. 2023 was Authenticity. 2024 is Alignment. These have all been powerful words for me.

I look forward to moving this energy into 2024.

✨What is your word for 2024? ✨

✨ B I R T H D A Y ✨ Today my son Caleb celebrates his 8th birthday. I take this time to reflect on the past year and all the adventures we have shared. He is the most precious blessing in my life.
I am truly grateful to be his maman.

He has, and continues to be, my greatest teacher. He has encouraged me as well as challenged me to become a stronger version of myself. When reflecting on my community involvement over the past several years, it is because of his inspiration. Sports play a vital role in his life and being involved with his teams has brought me such joy.

My most cherished memories with Caleb are the ones where we are playing together while both being wrapped up in the present moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s hockey, legos, hot wheels, crafts – it’s about spending time together. Life is very fast paced. I appreciate the slower pace when we play together and the connection it fosters between us.

To my dear Caleb – your curious mind, your energetic spirit & your loving heart are all inspirations to continue to be a present and nurturing maman. I will always be your number one fan and support your new adventures (even if you want to be a hockey goalie!).
Je t’aime de tout mon coeur ❤️
