𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁
We’re so happy to introduce Quiet Power Retreats, founded by friends and holistic practitioners Doris and Noel.

We met years ago in Toronto through our shared love of movement, nature, and practices that help us feel more at home in ourselves. Over time, we both felt the same quiet pull: a desire to slow down, step away from constant doing, and create spaces where women can rest, reconnect, and simply be.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 was born from that vision — retreats that are gentle but grounding, spacious but supportive, and rooted in the belief that true power comes from listening inward.

Our First Retreat: “Roots & Water” : Reconnect with Nature’s Flow on April 10-12, 2026 isOPEN FOR REGISTRATION!
📍 Camp Kintail

Roots & Water is a weekend retreat designed to help you soften your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and remember what it feels like to move through life with more ease. You don’t need to fix anything or become anything new. Just come as you are.

Self-care recommendations are part of treatment planning!

In addition to hands-on treatment, your RMT can recommend a remedial exercise routine to help you reduce your pain and get back to doing what you love.

Hopefully 🤞 it will happen! Removing the gst would make treatments at least a bit more affordable!

A government response was recently received to the petition presented to parliament in November 2025 that requested HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

The federal Minister of Finance, François-Philippe Champagne, indicated that the government understands that massage therapy is regulated in five provinces, and reiterated that HST/GST exemption is not automatic, and requires a formal application to the Minister of Finance.

Champagne confirmed that a formal request for exemption has been received and is currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Finance.

Review Minister Champagne's response: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=451-00271

We will be using this encouraging response to support our request for a follow-up meeting with Remi Gagnon, Policy Advisor for the Ministry of Finance. We met with him this summer and spoke about how HST exemption would improve healthcare access and ensure that massage therapy is aligned with other regulated health professions regulated in five provinces.

We look forward to providing further updates as this issue progresses.

Simple but great rotator cuff exercise- these muscles are individually so small you don’t need much weight to strengthen- resistance bands are great! Just watch your form so you make sure you’re rotating in and out at the shoulder!
