Today, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served — and those who continue to serve.

May we honour their memory not only in silence, but through acts of compassion, peace, and understanding. ❤️

Protecting your peace is a form of self-care. 🌿
Say no when you need to.
Rest when your body asks.
Step back from what drains you.
You can’t pour from an empty cup — refill yours first. ☕

We all have busy minds at times — packed with thoughts, worries, and to-dos. But what happens when we pause, breathe, and truly notice the moment we’re in? 🌼

Sometimes our minds are like bustling marketplaces, crowded with thoughts and worries. That's the mind full mode. But have you ever tried being truly mindful? Embracing the present moment, letting go of judgment, and finding peace in the now. Let's explore the beauty of a calm and mindful mind together. 🧘‍♀️🌼

Saturday morning bop 🎧

Movement + rhythm are some of the easiest nervous system shifts we can reach for — especially when things feel heavy, busy, or emotionally full.

Today we’re choosing fun on purpose.

Song of the morning: Houdini – Dua Lipa

Press play… let your shoulders drop… let your body find a tiny beat to follow…
and just exist in the moment for a minute.

What’s your go-to Saturday morning bop right now?

Today, on Indigenous Veterans Day, we pause to honor and remember the remarkable Indigenous men and women who have served — and continue to serve — with bravery, strength, and unwavering dedication.

For generations, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples have stood on the front lines, defending freedoms at home and abroad, often without recognition or equity. Yet, their courage never wavered.

Their legacy is etched not just in battlefields, but in the hearts of communities that carry their stories forward. We express deep gratitude for their sacrifices, and we commit to acknowledging their rightful place in our shared history. 🌿

Let us listen, learn, and lift their voices — not just today, but every day.

We remember. We honor. We thank you.

If you’ve been craving deep rest, grounding and intentional healing — this is such a lovely opportunity. Nicole has an incredible wealth of experience, and combining Reiki with sound healing feels like such a powerful way to soften the system and reconnect back into your body.

🌿 Slow Down, Step Outside, and Breathe 🌿

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected lately? Try this: take a mindful walk in nature — no phone, no playlist, just you and your senses.

Mindful walking isn’t about exercise or reaching a goal. It’s about noticing:
👣 The rhythm of your steps
🌤 The feel of the air on your skin
🍃 The sounds of birds, leaves, and your own breath

When we walk this way, we invite calm back into our bodies and clarity into our minds. Each step becomes a gentle reminder: you are here, you are safe, and you are enough.

💚 Start today — even 10 minutes counts. Your mind will thank you.

New Blog Post: Understanding Triangulation in Relationships
Ever feel stuck in the middle of someone else’s conflict—or accidentally pull someone into yours? That’s triangulation.

In this post, we unpack:
✨ What triangulation looks like in everyday relationships
⚡ Why it’s more damaging than helpful
💬 How to step out of the triangle and build healthier, more direct connections

If you’ve ever been caught between friends, family, or coworkers, this one’s for you.
