Gardening is wonderful for your mental health! Our friends over at Thistle Croft Flowers have created a “bloom box” - everything you need for a fabulous cut flower garden in one flat!

This is a great no-guessing way to get started with an amazing new hobby :)

Makes an Amazing Mother’s Day gift! The gift that gives blooms into the fall! ❤️

A teen therapists' perspective.

Our teens aren’t trying to shut us out — they’re trying to figure out who they are.

It can feel like they’re pulling away, needing more space, wanting more independence… and that’s hard as a parent. But the truth is, they don’t need us less during these years — they need us differently.

They still look to us for guidance, support, and stability — just not in the same ways as when they were little.

What keeps the door open isn’t more rules or tighter control… it’s connection.

Listening without jumping in.
Showing up without pushing.
Being a safe place instead of a constant authority.

Independence doesn’t mean disconnection.
If we lead with connection, they’re far more likely to keep letting us in. 💛

So many of the women I work with are experiencing very real perimenopausal symptoms, yet are still searching for clear answers and support.

Perimenopause can be complex. Symptoms don’t always follow a predictable pattern, and hormonal shifts can begin years before menopause...impacting mood, sleep, anxiety, focus, and overall well-being.

It’s not uncommon for these experiences to be misunderstood or attributed to other factors, which can leave many women feeling confused or discouraged.

This is why continued research, education, and open conversations between women and their healthcare providers are so important.

This work matters. 🤍
Education matters. 📚
Being heard matters. 🫶

If you’ve been feeling “off,” you’re not alone, and your experience is valid. 🌿

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, 💙 a time to recognize and support neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD 🧠✨

Neurodiversity deserves understanding, acceptance, and space to thrive 🌱

You are seen. You are valued. I am here to support you 🤝

Feeling a little… unhinged?

Same.

Come process your existential dread in a greenhouse with flowers instead of doom-scrolling alone. 🌸

In Room to Bloom, we combine psychotherapy, gardening, and floral design into a group that is equal parts meaningful conversation and beautiful chaos.

You’ll leave every week with:
🌿 new insights
🌿 dirt under your fingernails
🌿 a bouquet you made yourself

Honestly… it’s therapy, but prettier.

📅 Thursdays | 5–7 pm
📆 June 18 – August 27
📍 Ingersoll Wellness Hub offsite greenhouse

Shame vs. Guilt — not the same thing 🍃

Guilt helps us grow 🌱. Shame keeps us small 😔.
One corrects behaviour ✅. The other attacks identity ❌.

Choose growth 🌿. Drop the shame ✨.
