✨ Big News: Healing Connections Has Moved! ✨

Today we officially move into our new home—the historic Masonic Temple in North Bay. This expansion gives us 7 beautiful offices, with two separate spaces designed intentionally for kids and for adults. It’s a dream come true, and one that feels deeply personal—walking into this building, I could feel the presence of my grandparents. Seeing two Trimac trucks yesterday felt like a sign that I’m on the right path. I know my grandpa is proud. 💛

This move also marks an exciting new chapter for me. After a few more hours of consultation (today), I’ll be eligible to apply to become an EMDR Consultant. This journey has been such a gift—I’ve loved every moment of it. EMDR has changed my life in so many ways. I'm here for all of it!

I’m also stepping into a new role: moving from Miranda the therapist to Miranda the visionary, director, and trainer. My heart is pulling me toward building, teaching, and sharing what we’ve created here. I can’t wait to perfect the Operational Resiliency Protocol (ORP) and begin training other therapists so that it reaches the people who need it most—especially our first responders. I will still be working with clients, but a bit less, as my role must change a bit while I expand our offerings.

Come for a complimentary HeartMath, BrainTap and/or Red Light Therapy session! I’ll be sharing the date soon for our Grand Reopening asap!!!

Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey so far. Healing Connections is growing, and this is just the beginning. 🚀

🎙️✨ I have the privilege of joining Daniel Sundahl, paramedic, counsellor, and incredibly talented artist, for my very first podcast!

This will be my first time ever doing a podcast, and I couldn’t be more excited (and a little nervous 😊). We’ll be talking about first responder wellness, my work with Missing in Canada, and the heart behind creating spaces for healing.

Can’t wait for this conversation and to share it when it’s out! 💜

🌿 Monday Challenge 🌿

This week’s challenge is simple but powerful: go for a 30-minute walk outdoors. 🚶‍♂️🌳
Why walking? Because movement is one of the most accessible ways to regulate your nervous system, clear your mind, and reconnect with yourself. When we step outside, our senses wake up — the fresh air, the sound of leaves, the rhythm of our steps. It’s not just exercise, it’s a form of healing.
✨ Use your walk as a reset:
Notice your breathing and let it deepen.
Pay attention to your surroundings — what do you see, hear, or smell?
Let your thoughts come and go without judgment.
Reflect on one thing you’re grateful for.
This is your chance to step away from stress, technology, and routine. Even just half an hour can shift your mood and mindset.
💡 Share in the comments: Where’s your favorite place to walk? Or let us know how you felt after completing today’s challenge.
Healing starts with small steps — literally. 🌿

✨ Both coping and healing matter. ✨
Coping gets us through the hard moments. Healing helps us grow beyond them.

💡 Did you know some seizures aren’t caused by epilepsy — but by trauma?

They’re called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) or functional seizures.
They look like epileptic seizures, but instead of being triggered by abnormal brain electrical activity, they’re triggered by the nervous system’s trauma response.

For many people, these episodes are the body’s way of saying, “This is too much to handle right now.”

Here’s the hopeful part…
📌 Research and clinical experience show that EMDR therapy — a trauma-focused approach — can help reduce or even stop these seizures by working with the root cause, not just the symptoms.

With careful preparation, grounding skills, and gentle pacing, EMDR can help the brain and body feel safe again… so those survival responses don’t have to show up as seizures anymore.

🛠 Tools like the Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID) can help identify patterns of dissociation and trauma responses that may be linked to PNES, guiding therapy in a more targeted and effective way.

💛 Healing is possible.

If you or someone you love experiences PNES, know you are not alone — and that there is hope beyond just “managing” it.
