🍃 Did you know your body holds powerful tools for regulating your mind and emotions? No expensive gadgets or extreme routines required!

🧘 “Hacking your body” isn’t just a buzzword. In therapy, we call it bottom-up regulation which uses physical techniques to calm the nervous system, improve mood, and reduce stress.

Here are 5 therapy-approved ways to hack your body for better mental health!

Things in our therapy room that ✨ just make sense ✨

🧸 Toys & games because healing doesn’t have to be so heavy (and nothing reveals trust issues like a well-timed Uno ‘draw four’)
🪴 Plants that don’t judge
🍭 Candy because we believe in the power of emotional support sugar 
🛋️ A cozy corner for tough conversations
💡 Soft lighting for calm vibes
💬 And a space where you can just be you.

Because healing happens in the little things. 💛

Sound familiar? 👀

These quiet, sneaky thoughts can shape how we show up in relationships, careers, and even with ourselves, often without us realizing it.

Therapy helps you notice these patterns, challenge the ones that don’t serve you, and reclaim the parts of your life that feel stuck or small.

A richer life doesn’t mean more stuff, it means more peace, clarity, connection, and self-trust. 🤍

Start by getting curious about the thoughts you’re living with every day. 💭

Thinking about trying counselling? 🤔
You don’t need to be in crisis for it to help! 💬

Counselling is for anyone who’s ever thought:
🌀“Why do I keep doing this?”
💭“I just feel stuck.”
😵‍💫“I don’t know where to start.”

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or simply want to understand yourself better — therapy could be the right step forward. 🧠💛

Hello all!👋 As we at Island Waters are striving to make ourselves more accessible, we are jumping on social media where we will be posting regular updates about the practice, sharing valuable resources, and hopefully connecting with you! As such, we thought we would begin by introducing ourselves and letting you know what Island Waters is all about.

🌟Our most exciting recent update is that we have started offering low-cost therapy this fall! We also offer sliding scale options to fit your life and budget. We are currently accepting new clients, so feel free to reach out for a free, no commitment consultation and to discuss plans that could work for you!

📍We are currently serving Port Perry, Peterborough, and surrounding areas in person, and also offer virtual options should that better suit your needs!

Have questions? Let’s chat:

📞 (705) 300-1425

Stay tuned for what’s to come!

“You’re not healing to be able to handle trauma, pain, anxiety, or depression. You’re used to those. You’re healing to be able to handle joy and to accept happiness back into your life.” -Rachel Wolchin

Hello. I am new to this group and I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nikki Mulvihill and I am Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist who is expanding my practice in Peterborough. I work with children, youth and adults who may be struggling with various mental health challenges and I have extensive experience with individuals with Autism and ADHD. I also support womens health particularly through the emotional and relational changes of perimenopause and menopause. I am currently accepting new clients. Exciting news that there will also be a new low cost option for counselling starting in the fall. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Thank you.
