This is going to be such a great event!

Moves for Moms 5KM Run 💛

This run brings together two things that have deeply shaped my life: supporting moms and running.

Running has been one of the most steady supports for my own mental health. It gave me space to breathe, process, and reconnect with myself during hard seasons. I was never trying to be fast or competitive. I just needed something that felt grounding. Over time, it truly changed my life, and I hope it can have that same impact for others.

As a counsellor, I work with moms every day who are carrying so much. My hope with this run is to create a low pressure, welcoming space where people can move their bodies, try a 5KM, and feel encouraged rather than intimidated.

You do not need to be a runner. You do not need to be a mom. This event is for anyone who wants to show up and be part of something supportive.

Sunday, April 26
9:00 AM

Our old coffee machine made it much harder than it needed to be to make yourself a cup. Next time you’re in for a session, try out our shiny new Nespresso! It’s the little things on this snowy Monday that can make the biggest difference in how you feel.

Libby Ward, honest mom and content creator extraordinaire, has written a memoir about becoming a mother and the gifts and grief that
are inherent to the Herculean task of reparenting yourself while raising small humans. It’s available to preorder now, and I just ordered my copy. She’s the best friend we all didn’t know we needed on our motherhood journey, and her relatable and unflinchingly honest voice makes women and mothers feel less alone.

An unflinchingly honest and disarmingly funny memoir from an exhausted mom who broke under the pressure to do it all and found herself in the rubble.

Today we pause to honour the children who never came home, as well as survivors, families, and communities. We commit to listening, learning, and reflecting as we walk toward reconciliation with respect and humility.

Our bodies hold on to the difficult, stressful experiences we have. Luckily we do have some control over this, and we can choose to intentionally engage in activities that help us regulate our nervous systems. See the picture below for one of the easiest and most accessible:
