The Samara

01/01/2026

As we close out this year, we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect with SOOO much gratitude.
This past year has been one of growth, grounding, and meaningful connection, watching The Samara continue to grow not just as a space, but as a community rooted in care, trust, and healing.

Thank you for choosing The Samara as a place to reconnect, to listen to your body, and to support your wellbeing. It’s an honour to hold space for you and to be part of your journey.

We’re deeply grateful for your trust and presence, and we look forward to supporting you in the year ahead… whatever that may look like for you.

Wishing you a nourishing, aligned, and heart-led New Year
💚 The Samara Team

🌿 Mid-August is a perfect moment to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself

Ask yourself:
1️⃣ How’s my energy?
2️⃣ What’s feeling nourishing right now?
3️⃣ What’s one small shift that would make me feel better this week?
4️⃣ Is there a September goal I can start preparing for now?

You don’t have to wait until next month to start feeling better — small steps today make a big difference tomorrow.

Which question speaks to you most? 💬.

✨Let us know and write your answer below.

🙏🏼 BIG THANKS 🙏🏼
to Michael from Islandscape Landscaping.

Here we are getting started!
Stage one of what’s to come!

04/02/2025

🌸 Hello April! 🌸
Spring is in full bloom on the coast—and we’re feeling it! Brighter mornings, blossoms popping, birds back in song... it’s the perfect time to breathe a little deeper and move a little slower.

🌿 Health Hint: Even 2 minutes of mindful breathing outdoors can calm your nervous system and boost your mood. Try it today—bonus points if you're barefoot on the grass 😉

📣 Heads up! Mike’s physio rates have been updated to align with other local providers. We’re committed to offering exceptional care and staying sustainable 💪

💛 Exciting news! We will be graces with the presence of Mai at The Samara mid-April! Her calming, grounded energy is such a gift—we can’t wait for her short but sweet return.

And hey, if you're looking for a fresh start...

🌱 Try something new this season:
* cold plunge
* a new trail
* a veggie garden
* a dance class
* or just swapping your morning scroll for sunshine + stretching.

✨ Trying something new this season? Share it below—we might just try it too!

With love,
The Samara Team 🌿
