*Finding Magic in Every Day The name Sparrow Song comes from the imagery the name initially provided me...the sound of a bird singing, the sparrow when arising in the morning symbolizing the start of a new day and all of the possibilities it holds. The positivity and possibilities that emerge when you truly start to allow time to nurture yourself and pay attention to your own needs (our bodies tell us a lot if we listen), in turn decreasing stress, increasing energy and unraveling passions, inspirations and clarity that you naturally have within you waiting to be explored.

RIP Lucky 😭🥺🐾
To my best little buddy, my little clown 💔🤍
How do I say goodbye?? 😭…
…(This may be a little mish mash dialog as I process)

I never imagined I’d ONLY get two short years with you when I brought you home on December Solstice in 2023, when you needed a better home. And that I’d have to make the hardest decision of my life today, so close to our Anniversary 😭
I haven’t cried tears like this in a very long time 💔

Your little (piggy) 10-year-old body just couldn’t do it anymore, even though you tried so hard to disguise it with endless energy and playtime and eats 🐶

From the moment I met you, I immediately loved you and we bonded. Your silly clown face 🤡, your love for cat toys (and that freakin’ stuffed monkey 🙈 ), finding crab apples🍏 to gnaw on in the summer, rolling on your back in your bed (and hiding treasures in the cushions) 😅, choosing Dino the doggo downstairs as your boyfriend over Pop Pop the kitty 🐈‍⬛ that wanted your attention so badly, (poor Pop Pop) 💗
You were ALWAYS by my side and gave me a good wink and deep soul stare down just to be sure we’re connected right? ✨🥹😉😅❤️

This last little while was full of so many sleepless nights. You tried to mask how sick you were until you couldn’t any longer 💔 It was so hard to know what to do and when, as you had all the energy and appetite.

Last night, you FINALLY slept SO deeply 💤 No coughing, no restlessness, just uninterrupted sleep.
I caught a moment, I felt loved ones who have passed come through. They were there to help you sleep soundly through this one LAST night and for me to receive the validation that it was time for me to have to say MY goodbye 🕊️😭❤️

Today, perfect snowglobe snow ❄️ fell on our way into the clinic. 11:11 on the dash as we left and in that moment, a sense you were off on more wild adventures 🌀 and getting your first dog 🐶 biscuit from my Dziadziu (because he always had one in his pocket) from the heavens above ⛅️ Lucky!

This is so hard 💔 but I am SO grateful to have had you. Rest easy, my silly boy, have all the biscuits, and no more pain ok?
I love you and miss you already, so much 😭🤍🐾

Bear with me as I navigate this ❤️‍🩹❤️〰️

I guess I missed posting about anything after winter?! 😅🤯😳
Holy moly…I guess I somehow missed Spring and here we are late July with the sun blazin’ 🌞 and winds blowing on this New Moon Thursday 🌚🌚

But HERE WE ARE NOW 😌✨

Can I say I’ve been spinning in the last 7ish months…oh yes. Not necessarily dizzy spinning, but life has taken on a speed I don’t think I was prepared for with responsibilities (and obligations) from every angle, dealing with a long time sick parent and other complicated matters, and taking on the reigns (gratefully) managing at Vitality Juice (which I do absolutely love. I cannot say enough about the day to day interactions of those that walk in and what we do there).
But whew.
Some of my stuffs have definitely taken a backseat as a result and I don’t wanna forgot allll the things I want to create in this lifetime and what I do need to do too for myself.

I am grateful I do get to express a whole lotta me at work on the daily, that is huge and I don’t take it for granted.

I become an auntie (Ciocia) again tomorrow as Serena, my youngest sister is having a little one and it’s safe to say I am bursting with the most heart centred joy 💗 to meet this little one and show him all the things a “crazy” Ciocia can do 🥹
My love for Goldie, my niece, is like no other and I only hope I go get to see her more as time goes on as she is so far away in NB. She is a special one and notices all the little things like me, and it’s cool to share that ✨😌💗

So that’s the latest in a nutshell! My hope is to share more of what I do notice and more of my experience through workshops and offerings again in the colder months when time allows!

Thanks to all who have been by my side, whether we connected or not in the last little bit, I promise I think of you and look forward to the day we say hi again 💗✨

SLEEP! 😴 💤
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In my 15+ years working in natural health, one of the main complaints I hear about on a daily basis is not getting good sleep. 😴 Whether it’s falling asleep, staying asleep or waking feeling rested, many people are suffering from a lack of quality of sleep and for many reasons.

Our lives are busy and to shut off our brains and stress response in order to get good rest can be tough. Combine that for some with shift work, deadlines, medical issues, and other factors, we end up with a messy sleep cycle and dysfunctional circadian rhythms.

In this workshop, we will be talking about some of the reasons you may be struggling with sleep and look at natural ways to get a DEEP SLEEP.

We will then be making Sleep Pillows full of relaxing herbs and botanicals to tuck under your pillow, an oil infused dream balm made from mugwort, chamomile, lavender, linden flowers and hops to help bring about an active dream world and an essential oil blend customized for you to lure you into a relaxed state!

Part educational talk/part crafting, we’ll explore factors that may be disrupting your sleep and look at practical solutions to help you reclaim your rest! 😌
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
•Tuesday April 9th from 6-8pm
•$50 includes all supplies
•Cold-pressed juice and menu items will be available for purchase. Complimentary tea will be served!

〰️I felt inspired to create a CrYStAL GriD ✨today to symbolize the transition out of February into March ↗️

These crystal beauties ✨ are all for sale and found in my treatment room 🥰
I took them out of the cabinet to clear them and recharge their energetic properties. I usually clear them in the light of the sun ☀️ or in moonlight 🌕 as well.

Waving an incense stick and its smoke over the crystals is another way to clear them. 🕯️💨
Today I thought I would sit in a more meditative state 😌 and witness as the incense naturally billows 💨 over the crystals as they clear, breathing in the scent of the Nag Champa and tuning into the present moment 🧘‍♀️ It’s interesting to witness how the smoke changes as the crystals recharge❣️💞

Once cleared, taking in a moment to take in a deep breath, bringing in some of the light the recharged crystals provide and the love and prosperity these particular crystals offer.
Breathing in and out and taking a moment to enjoy this healing present state ✨💖💗

✨Lemon Ginger Turmeric Honey Elixir!✨

You may have seen some others sharing how they make their own Ginger Turmeric Shots at home.
I’ve been making my own too lately and thought I’d also share my process! 💛🧡🫚🍋✨

I eyeball everything and just use what I have on hand which usually works out to be:

✨Fresh Ginger (I cut off any dry bits)
✨Fresh Turmeric (I’m noticing grocery stores seem to be carrying Turmeric Root more readily) 🙌
✨Raw Honey (I’m fortunate to have a neighbour who gifted me this fresh liquid gold from his hives) 🍯 🐝
✨2 cups of Filtered Water
✨A sprinkle of Black Pepper

✨Blend it all up!
✨I use a reusable cheesecloth lining a glass bowl to strain out the chunkier bits
⚠️ Note: this will stain the cheesecloth and everything else including your hands. Use gloves 🧤 if you prefer, and I tend to reserve a specific cheesecloth for this reason. Be careful with your countertops! 😅

✨Serve straight up as a shot or I combine a shot sized amount in some sparkling water or alternately in some hot water for a soothing hot drink!

👀✨Super good for your immune system!
👀✨Super good for your gut!
👀✨Super good as a mixed drink! 🍹

✨Add a pinch of cayenne for an extra kick 🌶️
✨Refrigerate in a sealed, glass jar 🫙 and use within a week to ensure freshness!

Tell me if you try it or have made your own! ⬇️🥰

Enjoy!! ☺️

〰️If you’ve come to one of my workshops, you may know I like to serve TeA! 🌱🌹🌺😌🫖💗

I especially love it when I have the chance to blend my own LOOSE LEAF TEAS! 🥰

Lately my favs to serve have been:
•Rose, Lavender & Chamomile—for a chillllll floral
•Hibiscus & Calendula Petals—for a tart twist &
•Cinnamon Stick & Bay Leaf—for a naturally sweet treat!

You’ll get to sip one of these combos while we dive into some self-care workshop vibes✨ 🚨(next one coming up on February 9th and it’s a fun one where we make handmade Chocolates 🍫 & Botanical Bath Salts 🛁 and explore all the ways we can give ourselves some extra LOVE 🥰💕 -link in bio ⬆️)

(I also host a tea blending workshop where we taste a variety of herbs and botanicals and blend our own tea)!

One of my favourite ways to get to know herbs 🌿 and botanicals 🌹 is by tasting them through tea (if it’s safe to do so), usually first on their own so I get to know their flavour profile, and then combining them with other favs until I get a blend I love! ✨💗 They are also super pretty to combine and can smell glorious! Bonus!

Herbs & botanicals have a slew of medicinal properties, and they particularly work really well when combined with one another, so it’s a nice way to hydrate and nourish the body at the same time and you can get really specific benefits for the body with certain combos 🙌 💫

I’ll be growing more flowering medicinals and plants that can be consumed in tea form this summer, I can’t wait to see and grow all the possibilities and combos! 🌹🌱🌺🌿✨

Come try some tea blends with me at a workshop or experiment with making some of your own!
Share your favourite combos so I can give them a try! 💗🥰⬇️

If you’re feeling grief or heart heavy today, I wanted to offer this short heart healing energy transmission, to allow you to tune into your heart and notice how it feels in your body today and support it with what it needs.

By doing this, you can provide your heart with some extra love and support, nourish it by visualizing extra blood flow to the area and allow the heart to feel some healing energy it may need to get you through the day.

Come back to this anytime you need and tune into your heart as often as you can ❤️
