As a therapist, I often remind others to find grounding in small moments — and for me, that includes being out on the water.

Feeling thankful for nature’s calm, sunshine on my skin, and the quiet that helps reset the mind and heart.

Wishing you all a gentle Thanksgiving weekend.

Healing doesn’t always look like movement — sometimes it looks like sitting in peace .🍃

🍃Allow yourself to rest, to feel , to exist without needing to prove or push.

It’s not about shutting people out—it’s about showing up for yourself with the same care you show others. 💛

How good of a friend are you to yourself? 🌿

This graph shows all- we spend more hours alone than with anyone else. That’s why the way you treat you matters most. 💛
Be gentle. Be kind. Listen to your own needs.

How will you show up for yourself today?

September brings a return to routines—school schedules, workdays, and steadier rhythms. For some it’s grounding, for others a tough adjustment. Notice what feels supportive, what summer habits you’d like to keep, and where you can be gentle with yourself. 🌿

☀️ It’s mid-summer and many of us — ourselves included — are taking time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the slower pace 🌿

While we're on holidays, online booking for September appointments is open at www.gentlepathways.ca.

🧸 A gentle reminder: appointments for children begin with a parent-only consultation to ensure the best support for your family.

Wishing you warmth and ease this summer 💛

That pounding heart? The urges to run or freeze? The walls that go up when people get too close? Trauma can make your body seem unpredictable — but the truth is, whatever happens after trauma is just your nervous
system's way of dealing with what you've been through.

🧠 June is Men’s Mental Health Month 🧠

It’s okay not to be okay.

Too often, men are taught to stay strong, keep it together, and suffer in silence. But strength isn't about pretending. Real courage is speaking up, reaching out, and taking that first step toward healing.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Whether you’re navigating stress, grief, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed — help is here.

This month, let’s break the stigma. Let’s remind the men in our lives: your mental health matters.

💬 Gentle Pathways offers a safe, non-judgmental space to talk, process, and heal.
📍 Therapy tailored for you — confidential, supportive, and compassionate.

👉 Share this to remind someone they’re not alone.

✨ You are not broken.✨ You are not too much.✨ You are healing—one breath, one step, at a time.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a reminder that our past shapes our present, but it doesn’t have to define our future. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can leave deep marks, yet with the right support, healing and growth are possible. You’re not alone on the path to mental wellness.

After what felt like the longest winter ever… it’s finally nice outside!

Spending time in nature is good for the soul and your mental health.
Even a short walk under the trees or sitting in the sun for a few minutes can help.

Nature offers:
• A natural way to reduce stress and anxiety
• A boost in mood and energy
• A deeper sense of calm and presence

If things feel heavy right now, try stepping outside. Let the sun warm your face, feel your feet on the ground, and breathe. It’s a small shift that can make a big difference.

You deserve moments of peace.
