Sharing something beautiful for those who may need it

I love coming across offerings that support people in reconnecting with themselves through the body, movement, and presence.

A colleague of mine is offering a Yoga for Mental Health & Happiness group starting this February. It is a small, psychotherapy informed group that blends yoga, mental health support, and a mind body approach to wellbeing. There is both an in person option in Ottawa and a virtual option available.

If you or someone you know has been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply longing for more joy and inner ease, this could be a gentle and supportive space to explore that.

I am sharing this in the spirit of community, healing, and reminding ourselves that we do not have to walk these paths alone 🤍

Details are on the poster below. Feel free to reach out to the facilitator directly if it resonates.

I recently received feedback from a participant in my self-paced course, "Coming Home to Yourself," who shared that it moved them to tears and helped them understand the importance of loving and accepting themselves.

This journey is deeply personal, and I invite you to reflect on your own experiences. What makes self-acceptance challenging for you? Don’t forget, the 20% discount code expires soon-grab your chance to join us!

Sometimes life calls us to step into spaces we never imagined…. not because we have it all figured out, but because our story carries pieces of light that might help someone else find their way.

With a full heart, I’m humbled to share that I will be one of the speakers at the Fearless Ottawa Valley Women’s Summit on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Timber Run Golf Club & Event Lodge in Lanark, Ontario.

My talk, “The Courage to Feel: Reclaiming Your Inner Wisdom Through the Body,” will be one of the ways I open a tender chapter of my own story—and invite you to explore what it means to listen deeply to yourself, to trust the wisdom within, and to find courage in the simple act of feeling.

I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and even more grateful for the chance to be in a room filled with women who are showing up for themselves and each other.

If this speaks to you, I would be honoured to see you there. You can get your ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fearless-ottawa-valley-womens-summit-tickets-1349213988359?aff=EmelyAlcina

I feel so grateful to share something exciting with tou all.

I am one of the founders of The Holistic Wonder — a circle of 10 soulful women, each walking her own path of healing, and together creating a space for others to grow, release, and bloom.

Through coaching, energy healing, naturopathy, psychotherapy, retreats, fire circles, aromatherapy, human design and more, we weave together a tapestry of wisdom and care — offering many ways for women to reconnect with themselves.

This September, one of our Wonder Sisters is opening her heart to the Latin community of women 🌺, inviting you into a beautiful experience of connection, relaxation and empowerment.

If your heart is calling you to this, we would love for you to join us. 💖

Today, I’m smiling, holding this balloon, and celebrating the courage it took to face my own story. There were times I felt disconnected from myself—but now I witness the gentle joy of reconnecting, step by step, heart by heart. Healing begins when we meet ourselves with kindness and curiosity

“Your journey back to yourself starts with a single step of self-compassion.”

Not a leap.
Not a breakthrough.
Just a breath.
A soft noticing.
A quiet yes to yourself in the middle of the noise.

I have come to understand that healing doesn’t always look like progress.
Sometimes, it looks like pausing before the old pattern takes over.
Sometimes, it’s saying “I’m here,” when your instinct is to disappear.
Sometimes, it’s meeting your own gaze in the mirror and not looking away.

This is the work:
not to fix yourself,
but to remember you were never broken.

The world teaches us to strive, to toughen, to outrun our feelings.
But the real strength lives in the soft places—
in choosing presence over perfection,
in choosing compassion when it would be easier to shut down.

Wherever you are today,
may you offer yourself a moment of grace.
That’s how the return begins.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
— Viktor Frankl

This quote reminds me of why I do this work.

So many of us are moving through the world in survival mode: reacting to stress, trying to meet everyone’s needs, carrying emotional pain that’s never had a safe place to land.

But in therapy — and in healing — we learn that we can slow down.
We can begin to notice what’s happening inside before we react.

We can pause. Breathe. Feel.

And then choose what aligns with who we really are.

That space between what happens to us and how we respond — it’s small, but it’s powerful. And with support, it grows.

At Kind Therapy Ottawa, I hold space for that growth.
For those moments when you choose yourself — gently, with compassion, even when it feels hard.
Because every time you do, you’re creating new possibilities. You’re reclaiming your freedom.

And that is brave.
That is healing.
That is enough.

You don’t have to hold it all together to be okay. 💛 Embrace the messiness of your emotions. By acknowledging your feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, you take a courageous step toward healing and self-connection. Remember, healing is a journey, not a destination—so be gentle with yourself. Have a beautiful weekend!
