At Eleven Arrows, we value your wellbeing—and that of our entire community. To support everyone’s health and help reduce last-minute cancellations, we’re introducing a Health Pre-Screening process.⁠

Here’s how it works:⁠
- 24-48 hours before your appointment, you’ll complete a quick health screening form sent through our Jane booking system.⁠
- Please take a moment to fill it out and check in with how you’re feeling.⁠
- If you complete the screening and wake up unwell the morning of your appointment, you may cancel without charge as long as you call by 9:00 a.m. to let us know.⁠
⁠- If you don’t complete the screening and need to cancel within 24 hours, the standard full-cancellation fee will apply.⁠

This practice helps our practitioners prepare their day thoughtfully and ensures everyone in our space stays well cared for.⁠

Thank you for helping us maintain a healthy and supportive environment for all. ⁠
With care,⁠
The Eleven Arrows Team 🤍

Intake forms… not the most exciting part of your visit, but super important 📝😉⁠

In this reel, Paul explains why filling them out helps us get to know you, your needs, your goals, and even those little details that make all the difference.

Think of it as giving our practitioners the “cheat sheet” to fully support you.

So yes, the paperwork is worth it, promise! ✨⁠

Autumn is here and we are feeling all the cozy, grounding vibes. 🍂

We put together a little mood board to capture the season... think warm cups of tea, golden leaves, gentle movement, grounding practices, and moments of stillness.

Autumn invites us to slow down, reset, and nourish ourselves from the inside out. We love carrying this seasonal energy into our space, our treatments, and our community gatherings.

Here’s to balance, warmth, and embracing the beauty of change.

It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to reset. 💛

At Eleven Arrows, we are here to hold space for your journey, wherever you are and whenever you are ready. Whether it is a counselling session, massage, a community event, or simply some quiet time in the sauna, our doors are open to support your whole self.⁠

This is your reminder that slowing down is not a step back, it is a powerful part of moving forward.

Welcoming the Autumn Equinox! 🌙

As we step into the balance of light and dark, the autumn equinox reminds us to slow down, ground ourselves, and align with the natural rhythms of change. This is a season of harvest, reflection, and preparing for the quieter months ahead.⁠

Tips to support yourself this season:⁠

Nourish deeply – enjoy warm, grounding foods like soups, root veggies, and spices.⁠

Honour rest – shorter days invite us to create cozy rituals and prioritize sleep.⁠

Move mindfully – gentle stretching, yoga, and walks in nature help release what you no longer need.⁠

Connect inward – journaling, meditation, or breathwork can support balance and clarity.⁠

Stay rooted – grounding practices like earthing, herbal teas, or simply breathing with awareness help calm the nervous system.⁠

At Eleven Arrows, we celebrate these seasonal shifts as powerful invitations to care for your whole self – body, mind, and spirit.

A few snaps from our most recent team BBQ 🌞✨ All the fun was had and our hearts are full.⁠

We love these opportunities to connect outside the clinic, strengthen our bonds, and celebrate the amazing humans who make up our Eleven Arrows family. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. ⁠

Here’s to fun, balance, and connection — the values that keep us grounded and growing together. Cheers to this rad community!

Have you visited our in-house infrared sauna? 🔥⁠

Our sauna is the perfect way to relax before or after your appointment. Beyond relaxation, regular sauna use offers a wide range of proven health benefits!

Sauna sessions are available in one-hour increments, so you can choose the duration that suits your heat tolerance and schedule. We recommend 30–45 minutes with breaks as needed—and don’t forget to stay hydrated! Towels and showers are provided on site for your convenience.⁠

Ready to add a sauna session to your next appointment? Call us at 250-591-8993 to book.
