This was my first outdoor sound bath and we got to enjoy it in a forest with the sunlight dancing through the trees. It is not lost on me how lucky we are to be able to do this. So my intention set forth was for healing both for the planet and all those suffering. Here’s to trying new things and making memories 🌳💚✨

**WORKSHOP ALERT: HOW TO STOP OVER-FUNCTIONING**

Over-functioning is a behavior pattern where you take on excessive responsibility at work, home and/or for the care of other people’s emotions and well-being at the expense of your own.

And it can look and feel different for everyone:

Taking on more responsibility than others at home or work.

Exhausted trying to keep up with what you think you should be doing at work or home, especially in comparison to others.

Overscheduling your kids and family life.

Constantly giving and doing things to support your family and friends emotionally or in other ways.

Living someone else’s definition of happiness, success and well-being.

And overtime, it takes a toll on our mental and physical health and cause us to feel resentful and burnt out.

It can also have a negative impact on our relationships.

If this resonates with you and you want to change this, join Monica Bhardwaj, Certified Life Coach, for a special in-person workshop at Pura Vida Health Centre in Port Credit Mississauga on Saturday March 2nd from 10am to 12pm.

She will help you:

Decide how you want to spend your time instead of how you think you should.
Know how to set and enforce boundaries in a way that feels good for you.
Be more comfortable with less than perfect.
Prioritize your own desires and well-being with less guilt.

BONUS: Kim Dubay will guide you through a transformational breathwork session to help you move any emotions that are keeping you stuck.

Early-bird pricing of $35 ends February 17th and space is limited, so save your spot today! Email for more info: bookings@puravidahealth.ca

15 years….. I wish at some point we started counting how many times our clients walked through our doors….how many treatments we (as a team) have provided….how many smiles and tears have flowed through our sessions. I can guess at the numbers and it’s an honour to have welcomed every single one of you. To the Pura Vida Team - Thank you from the bottom to the top of my heart for being with me on this journey (even those of you who have moved on!) You are an extension of my life, a work family, that I am unbelievably grateful for. Can’t wait to get our wax on this weekend to celebrate 😌🥳🕯️ Port Credit/Mineola/Lakeview is our home and community and even though it’s been 15 years here, new ideas are blooming and we will continue to grow and serve others in the most uplifting and healing capacity we can. Happy 15 Pura Vida!!!!

One of the most interesting articles I’ve read in a long time. Babies 💩 and a look at the Brain -Gut axis. Grab a tea, it’s a bit lengthy 🧐

The Gut-Brain Axis is the hottest area of science as researchers find evidence bacteria in the gut helps the brain think and grow

This is a great event for The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre. I was happy to fundraise and support such an important local establishment that serves so many in our community.
