It was a weekend of learning and connecting with people who work with horses and clients in different modalities!

It was a great conference with knowledgeable speakers, wonderful horse demos and participants who were willing to share knowledge to help us all be successful in helping our clients.

World Mental Health Day…did you know?

It has been understood that mental health can affect your gut health, but did you know the opposite is also true? In fact, the gut has been called the 'second brain' as it has the largest collection of nerve cells in the body, and plays a major role in sending signals to the mind. The gut contains 90% of our receptors for serotonin, which is the mood and sleep-regulating hormone, and these receptors are constantly in contact with our gut microbiome. An imbalance in the gut can directly impact serotonin levels and lead to mood disorders. If you want to support your mental health, then you also need to consider your gut health as they are directly related.

Ayurveda encourages practices like eating a constitution-specific diet, eating at certain times of the day, eating seasonal foods, and incorporating digestive herbs and spices.

Please contact me if you'd like to learn more, or consider signing up for my workshop series starting on October 25th in Smithers.

🍁Beautiful Fall day and colours!🍁

It’s been a busy couple of weeks accompanied by 🤧. It was a perfect day to invite my lovely friend Leisa of to come and relax in the field with Jack, Luke and Jojo and play with watercolours and capture the Fall colours.

Spending time in the warmth of nature with the horses and a lovely friend can change your whole outlook and help repair ones immune system!

Please share with us your Fall self care activity!

For me playing with watercolours was the best in helping let go and just breathe!

An Ayurvedic Mini-Retreat: Finding Balance in the Autumn Transition

✨Proof of Life!✨

My lovely friend ‘s new and 2nd book is being published on Tuesday July 8th!!🤩

This beautiful book has a little bit of something for everyone!! It may help you navigate the uncomfortable parts of life, lean into shifting so you can live your best life while cracking open, laughing, crying and exploring the shadows we all have.

Please pre-order this incredible book from your local indy bookstore such as or !! Preorders of books are super important for authors!!

In 2015, after 16 wonderful years, I was downsized from my corporate dream job that I loved! I was feeling lost, disconnected and unsure what I was going to for the rest of my life. So what does a predictable, stable woman do in such cases when SHIFT (aka change) happens?! Yep, that’s right, you sign up for a yoga retreat in Italy, led by a woman you only started following on FB as she is badass 🤩

Let me tell you, I was not a fan of yoga!! I can’t begin to tell you how many yoga mats I had given away up until then. The universe had been trying to tell me something though I had not been listening!! Though I was a fan of Italy and wine…how bad could it be?! I remember my hair goddess saying to me, is this one of those retreats where you cry?! 😳 ahhh nope….spoiler that I may not full blown cried, though cracks started to appear on my armour and light started to seep in.

The only other Canadian that attended the retreat just so happened to live in the same town as me! Coincidence?! I think not 🥰 so we met up in Florence a few days early, had some fun and toured around! The reality of what I actually had done hit me as we were going up the driveway of …what have I done? What if the yoga is intense and no one gets along?!

I should not have worried as the retreat led by was magical!! It helped me shift, to become more compassionate, heart centred human. Everyday I continue to evolve to show up in life with love.

Fast forward to January 2016, my Dad passed away and Jen came to stay with me as she was hosting a one day yoga workshop. TBC below
