There’s a reason Flora’s Walk continues each year.

Because remembrance needs space.
Because grief doesn’t move in straight lines.
Because community care isn’t a one-time thing—it’s something we practice, together.

Flora’s Walk is more than a date on the calendar.

It’s a way of honouring a life.
A way of acknowledging the ripple effects of loss.
A way of saying you don’t have to carry this alone.

And it’s also about awareness.
About continuing conversations that are often avoided.
About making room: for stories, for connection, for presence.

Whether you’re walking in memory of Flora, in support of someone you love, or simply because something about this resonates, you belong here.

You don’t need the “right” words.
You don’t need a reason that makes sense to anyone else.

Just come as you are.

Join us on May 3rd at 10am at the Optimist’s Club in Stoney Creek.
Walk at your own pace.
Be part of something shared.

Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot of the same things.

“I don’t feel like myself.”
“Why is this happening now?”
“No one warned me it could feel like this.”

And we’ve been listening.

Not rushing to fix it.
Not explaining it away.

Just listening.

Because when patterns start to show up across so many stories…
It usually means something deserves more attention.

Stay tuned ❤️

Some days, just getting out of bed feels like a win.
When your story includes a long history of diagnoses, medications, and trauma, it’s no wonder things feel heavy.

Maybe you’ve been misdiagnosed.
Or told conflicting things by different providers.
Or felt like you’re the only one trying to keep the whole picture together.

Here’s the thing:
You deserve care that sees you...not just the chart.

This is a shift we’ve been quietly rooting for.

Because for a long time now, we’ve believed that nature has a place in mental health care. And it’s meaningful to see that reflected more widely through programs like PaRx and the growing recognition that time outdoors can support our wellbeing in real, tangible ways.

At Cherry Tree, this isn’t new.

It’s something we’ve been integrating into our work for a while, especially through Walk and Talk Therapy.

And we’re really grateful to have therapists like Lauren offering this approach within our clinic.

Because sometimes, therapy doesn’t need four walls.

Sometimes it looks like:
– walking side by side instead of sitting face to face
– grounding into your senses while you talk
– letting fresh air and natural spaces support the process

It’s a different pace.
A different kind of presence.

And for many people, it just… fits.

If you’ve been curious about Walk and Talk Therapy, Lauren and other members of our team are here and available to support you.

We’re growing our team.

Cherry Tree Counselling is hiring an associate therapist with a particular interest in supporting women in midlife, including those navigating perimenopause and menopause.

This is an area of care that continues to be overlooked.

Many women arrive in therapy feeling confused by changes in mood, sleep, identity, and relationships, often without clear language or support for what they are experiencing.

We are building something intentional in response.

Alongside our broader practice, we are developing a focused area of care supporting the emotional, relational, and psychological aspects of midlife and menopause. We’re looking for a therapist who feels drawn to this work and wants to be part of shaping it.

This role may be a good fit if you:

• have interest or training in menopause mental health or midlife transitions
• are thoughtful, relational, and grounded in your clinical approach
• value slower, reflective work over quick fixes
• are interested in contributing to a growing and evolving area of practice

You’ll be joining a team that values collaboration, depth, and care, within a practice designed to feel warm, supportive, and sustainable.

If this resonates, we’d love to hear from you.

Cherry Tree Counselling is hiring a Nurse Practitioner with experience in perimenopause and menopause care to join us in building a more integrated model of support for women in midlife.

This role sits at the intersection of hormonal, reproductive, and mental health.

Many of the clients we support are navigating changes in mood, sleep, focus, and identity, often without clear guidance on how their physical and emotional experiences are connected.

We are working to change that.

We’re looking for a Nurse Practitioner who brings experience in:

• perimenopause and menopause care
• hormonal and reproductive health
• mental health assessment and management, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood changes in midlife

And who understands the complex interplay between body, mind, and identity during this stage of life.

This role may be a good fit if you:

• value relationship-based, holistic care
• are interested in helping build a model that bridges mental and physical health
• practice accessible, anti-oppressive, client-led care
• enjoy collaborating closely with psychotherapists supporting women’s mental health

You’ll be part of a collaborative, thoughtful team working to create care that feels integrated, grounded, and responsive to what women are actually experiencing.

If this resonates, we’d love to hear from you.

Grief like this can be hard to put into words.

When the world keeps moving, and something in you has stopped, it can feel deeply isolating.

Pregnancy and infant loss is not just an experience. It is a relationship. A love that continues, even in the absence of what was hoped for.

At Cherry Tree Counselling, we hold space for this kind of grief with care and gentleness.

Beth Lewis offers support for those navigating pregnancy and infant loss, creating a space where your experience does not need to be explained, minimized, or rushed.

Her work is grounded in approaches such as mindfulness, somatic therapy, and parts work, allowing for a slower, more compassionate way of being with grief.

There is no right way to move through loss.

Only your way.

If you are looking for a space where your grief can be held with care, you can book a call to connect with Beth at cherrytree.janeapp.com

Our bodies carry a lot for us.
Stress shows up in subtle ways.
Tight shoulders.
Restless legs.

If it feels okay, invite some movement.
Stretch or shift your position.
Notice how your body responds.
There is no right way to do this.

Listening to your body is a form of care.
Even for one minute.

Caring for yourself while caring for the earth

If you feel deeply connected to nature, you might also feel the weight of eco-anxiety or climate grief.

Not just worry, but something heavier.
A constant ache.
A sense of responsibility that doesn’t turn off.

For many women, especially mothers, that weight can grow even stronger. Caring for family and thinking about the future of the planet can bring up anxiety, exhaustion, and sometimes guilt.

And you know what?

That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
It means you care.

But caring for the earth shouldn’t come at the cost of caring for yourself.

Eco-counselling with Amy Commanda offers space to slow down and process what you’re holding, without having to carry it alone.

Together, you might explore:

• ways to make space for grief and anxiety in a supported, grounded way
• tools to navigate distress while staying connected to your values
• gentle ways of reconnecting with nature that feel supportive, not overwhelming
• what it looks like to care for the world and yourself at the same time

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.

Your care for the earth matters.
And so does your care for yourself.
