Hello to a new season and a new year✨

Last year was a year of shedding for a lot of us: old skins, old stories, old ways of holding ourselves too tightly. What fell away made room for something softer, steadier, more aligned. We’re so looking forward to what the new year brings.

Here at Homebody, winter is for restoration, nourishing your body and mind, and building vitality. Slow rituals, consistent care and community.

Welcome winter. Welcome 2026 ✌️

As we welcome late Autumn, we are asked to slow down 🌙 breathe deeper, move softer, and turn inward.

With the colder days arriving, our upstairs entrance is now open as well, so you can skip the hill on icy days and step right into warmth 🤍

Our end of November + December offerings are designed to support this softer season: grounding movement, sound, rest, and slow rituals to ease stress and help you winter from within.

Upcoming Offerings — You’re warmly invited to:

✨ November 27 2-8pm: Evening Reiki Sessions with our beloved practitioner Skylar (
A gentle, energetic reset to support the seasonal shift.

✨ November 29 at 930am: Community Karma Hatha Yoga with Angel ()— 75 minutes of grounding movement and rest. Donations to the Gananoque Food Bank accepted.

✨ December 6 at 6pm: Sounds for Reflection — A sound bath for looking back and moving forward.
Hosted by Laura Notton, RSW, MSW

✨ December 15 at 6pm: A Sacred Ritual: Candlelit Yuletide Yin Yoga. An evening of deep rest and seasonal honoring with Michelle Millar( ). (*Waitlist Only)

A lovely patient of mine reminded me that I had yet to share my seasonal TCM poster. 🍐 🍂 I will try and get some of these printed to have in store this coming week!

If you’ve had a peek at the schedule, you will have noticed it is VERY busy. If you’re looking for an appointment, I had a few cancellations come up over the next couple of weeks before my vacation. 🇭🇷

And as a reminder, you can always add yourself to the waitlist and we will give you a call if anything opens up. 📞

Our new space came to life this weekend with our first community gathering — a beautiful, full house 🙏
