As a former student athlete I used to view exercise as a “job”. When my athletic career ended, the thought of “working out” felt like a huge chore.

Now working as a Recreation Therapist and student Psychotherapist I have changed my mindset completely. It took time, but I rediscovered movement not as a duty, but as a joy. I chose mindful walks over running, playful sports over competition, and social active movement over exercise that was isolating. This shift transformed not just my body, but profoundly supported my mental health. Exercise was no longer depleting but fulfilling...something I looked forward to.

For my busy clients (and myself), integrating enjoyable movement isn’t about adding another task to the to-do list. It’s about finding sustainable, feel-good moments that:
- boost mood
-reduce stress
-enhance mental wellbeing

Even 10-15 minutes of joyful movement can make a huge difference. What’s your favourite way to move that doesn’t feel like a chore?

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It shows up in waves, in silence, and in moments you least expect.
But what if you could give yourself permission—and structure—to grieve intentionally?

The Prescription to Grieve is a guided exercise (created by Dr. Lucinda Poole) that invites you to set aside time and space to honour your loss. Think of it like setting a gentle boundary around your grief—so you can move through it, not be consumed by it.

This approach can help you:
✨ Create a sense of safety and containment when emotions feel overwhelming
✨ Reconnect with meaning and daily life
✨ Allow grief to have its place—without taking all the space

It’s important to know: this tool is meant to be explored with a therapist, so it can be personalized to your needs, history, and readiness. Please reach out if you’re ready for support.

Winter can bring real physiological and emotional shifts—less light, colder days, more time indoors. Many people notice lower energy, increased sensitivity, or a desire to withdraw.

Together, let’s reframe this not as a failure, but as an invitation to adjust expectations and support the nervous system rather than override it.

If this season feels heavy, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to meet winter the same way you meet summer.

💤 Sleep plays a powerful role in how the brain functions each day. Getting enough high-quality sleep supports emotional regulation, helps lower stress, improves focus and memory, and gives the brain time to reset and recover.

🛌 Neuroscience shows us that sleep quality is shaped not just at night, but by what we do during the day and in the hours before bed.

😴 These four simple, research-backed habits work with the brain’s natural rhythms to support better sleep over time.

Which of these tips feels like it could have the biggest impact on your sleep?

A new year can bring a lot of noise about becoming better, doing more, or fixing yourself.
This is your reminder that you don’t need to become someone new to be worthy of care, rest, or belonging.

Growth doesn’t have to be loud or visible to count. It can look like listening to your body, setting a boundary, choosing softness, or letting yourself move at a pace that actually feels sustainable.

You’re allowed to carry your values with you into this year without turning them into pressure.

You’re allowed to change your mind, take breaks, start again, and define success for yourself.

Instead of setting a resolution, try choosing one supportive question to return to this year
“What would feel most caring right now?”
May this year be guided by compassion over perfection, curiosity over urgency, and care over comparison.
You’re already enough just as you are.

Life can so easily slip into the mundane—the “blah” days where everything feels routine and everyone else seems to be “winning” at life.
But everyday life doesn’t need to be extraordinary to be meaningful.

We can step out of the hustle by pausing and savouring the small moments we already have.
Let the simple things carry a little more meaning:

👕 Folding laundry while remembering the moments held in those clothes
👚 Feeling the warmth of fresh fabric on your skin
👔 Noticing the tiny joys tucked into your day

When we slow down and savour, even the most ordinary tasks can shift from blah to meaningful.

The holidays can feel emotionally complex, and that complexity is valid.
Dialectics reminds us that two truths can exist side-by-side, even when they seem to conflict.

You can feel grateful and overwhelmed. Connected and lonely. Joyful and hurt.

Using this “both/and” approach can help soften self-judgment and create more room for our experiences to exist as they are, in all their complexity.

As you look ahead to your holiday season, what other truths can co-exist?

🎄The holidays can bring a mix of energy, excitement, and stress. This time of year, it’s easy to get swept up in what others expect from us, or what we expect from ourselves.

❄️If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed this season, here are a few gentle reminders that might help ease the pressure:

It’s okay to feel whatever comes up.
It’s okay to take time and space for yourself.
It’s okay to ask for help instead of doing everything on your own.
It’s okay to set limits and say no.
It’s okay to stick to the budget that feels right for you.

☃️You are allowed to move through this season in a way that supports your well-being.

Which reminder are you keeping close this year?

12/24/2025

The holidays can feel busy and overwhelming, and mindfulness can help you slow down and come back to yourself. ✨

Try these simple practices:
• A 30-second pause with one slow breath
• Savoring one small moment each day
• Taking tiny movement or fresh-air breaks
• Speaking to yourself with kindness

Small moments of presence can make this season feel more grounded and gentle.
