We’ve been conditioned to believe that the first few months of the new year are a time for clarity, goals, resolutions, big plans, and forward momentum. Here’s the truth: winter is a time of quiet mapping. Of listening before moving.

Nature role models this for us. Trees draw their energy inward. Seeds rest beneath the soil. The ground freezes. Nothing moving with urgency. Nothing is forcing its timeline. Everything holds its own map.

A map is an invitation. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t tell you where to go, it shows you what’s possible. But how do we connect to our map? We all have one inside of us, giving us subtle signals. We just need to listen… and a little nervous system regulation can’t hurt either. When we are calm, we can turn inward with compassion and curiosity. When we choose stillness over momentum, compassion and curiosity over judgement, our map becomes clearer.

So many of us spend our lives following someone else’s map: society’s expectations, family patterns, productivity culture, or outdated stories about who we should be. This is a reminder that your path is unique. Instead of rushing or following someone else’s directions, slow down and pay attention to the subtle signals from your body, mind, and intuition. Everything holds its own map. Within you is a compass that knows which way is yours.

When you slow down, you can read the landscape of your life and feel the direction that’s asking to be followed.

You get to decide how to move forward, what to release, and what to step into next.

Hello Snow Moon!

The February full moon invites us into awareness, release, and recalibration. In yoga, meditation and energy work, this phase of the moon is less about calling things in and more about noticing what has reached completion. Full moons illuminate what we are ready to say goodbye to, offering us the chance to release habits, emotions, or beliefs that no longer support where we’re headed. When we allow ourselves to rest, to feel, to notice and to release with compassion, we create space for what wants to emerge next. By releasing now, we prepare for the intentions and manifestations of the new moon, trusting that what we make space for will arrive in its own time. Under this moon, you’re invited to listen, feel, lighten your load, and to honor the wisdom of release as an essential part of your growth..

If you are called to: try this full moon ritual:
Sit in meditation, noticing what arises without judgment.
Take a few quiet moments to reflect on what feels complete or ready to be released.
Journal about what you’re ready to clear in order to create space for what’s next.
Place a hand on your heart or belly and set an intention to release with kindness.
Practice gentle or restorative yoga to support the nervous system and encourage letting go.
If it resonates, imagine the moonlight washing over you, clearing any remaining stagnant or heavy energy.
Invite in gratitude for your practice

We are welcoming in the Full Moon during our  Stretch Into Stillness class tomorrow morning.  Hope to see you there!

Now Accepting New Clients!

In our one-on-one sessions, I meet you exactly where you are at, and hold intentional, judgment-free space for your healing and growth. Whether through wellness coaching, private yoga, mindful mentoring, or reiki energy healing, our work is personalized, gentle, and deeply supportive of your nervous system, body, and inner world.

Together, we slow down, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with what grounds and nourishes you, shifting from overwhelmed to steady, from depleted to intentional.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to walk beside you as you return to balance, clarity, and wholeness.

Having someone holding space for you isn’t about having someone solve your problems or tell you how to feel. It’s about being met where you are, without pressure or expectation, and having someone who will walk with you while you navigate your journey.

When we find someone safe to hold space for us, our nervous system has an opportunity to regulate, our heart is given a chance to soften, our mind a moment to quiet, and our emotions space to be felt. What felt overwhelming becomes more manageable. We breathe deeper. We feel and express with more honesty and vulnerability. We remember that our experiences matter.

As a trauma informed wellness coach, yoga instructor, mindful mentor and reiki master, I am blessed to witness how powerful safe support can be. Growth and healing often doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we’re seen, heard, and allowed to be exactly where we are.

One of the kindest gifts we can give ourselves is allowing someone to be present with us as we explore vulnerability. If your heart feels heavy or your mind restless, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. I would love to walk with you, holding space for your feelings, honoring your pace, and honoring your experience.

“Blue Monday” is known as the most depressing day of the year. But how did it come to be?

Blue Monday came from a formula created in the early 2000’s that tried to link post holiday blues with weather, motivation, debt, and fatigue. But here’s where it gets strange… the formula was the brainchild of a UK travel agency looking to get people to book their summer vacations!

While it is a clever marketing campaign that has not been supported by strong scientific evidence, the feelings people experience around this time of year are indeed very real.

Winter can place a weight on the nervous system. Shorter daylight hours can affect our vitamin d intake and mood-regulating hormones like serotonin. The cold weather can limit our movement, fresh air intake and our social connection. Add in stress, exhaustion, and the pressure to “be back on track,” and it’s no surprise many people feel down, fatigued and emotionally tender.

If that's where you are today (or any day for that matter), you are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you. Your body might simply be asking for more care. If this resonates with you, why not take some time to meet yourself where you are, come back to your body and give yourself a little extra compassion and kindness.

Start where you are. Start small. Start with a feeling or behaviour that is aligned with where you want to go.

Under the new moon, we plant intentions, even if they are not fully formed yet.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, just honest and true.

Did you know that some believe that new moons are windows? Windows into what is to come.

Over the next 24 hours, your nervous system, subconscious, and energy field are especially receptive. Your body is taking cues. Your mind is sorting what it needs for later reference. Your emotional system is learning what feels safe, important, aligned, and worth repeating.

Does this mean one thought can derail your entire month? Of course not. What it does mean is that intention and repetition are especially important right now as our subconscious is more open to suggestion during the new moon.

Things to remember:
Your nervous system is in reset mode and ending the previous moon cycle. Be gentle with it.
Your subconscious is awaiting your suggestion. Be clear and fill your time with what you would like to welcome more of.
Your suggestions are absorbed somatically as well. Small movements and behaviours can create a path for your intentions.

So what should you do with that info?
Let stillness and gentle movements be part of the ritual.
Speak to yourself with more care than usual.
Notice what you reinforce with attention and speak the words you want to believe.
Eat, rest, and move as if you’re setting a new standard for yourself.

Our Mending Hearts circle started this week. While the circle’s primary focus is working with the grief associated with losing loved ones, It’s important to highlight other ways we experience grief.

Grief has a way of showing up in places we don’t always recognize. In moments of transition, pauses between what was & what’s becoming. It isn’t limited to one kind of ending; it lives in the aftermath of change itself. When life shifts, there’s often something left behind that deserves to be acknowledged, even if it can’t easily be named.

What makes this kind of grief confusing is that it often arrives alongside progress. You may be moving forward, growing, making healthy choices & still feel an ache you can’t explain away. That ache doesn’t mean the change was wrong. It means there was meaning in what came before, even if it could not come with you.

This kind of grief often shows up in moments that are supposed to feel celebratory. A promotion might bring pride, stability & long-earned recognition, yet still carry the quiet loss of simpler days, familiar routines, or coworkers who felt like home. Buying a house can symbolize security & growth, while also ending a chapter defined by freedom, or a version of life that felt lighter. Stepping into something bigger often means leaving something smaller but yet no less meaningful behind. Even when the change is chosen & good, it can still ask you to grieve what no longer fits, without diminishing the joy of what you’ve gained.

There is a tender duality in holding appreciation & sorrow at the same time. You can recognize that your current path is right & still miss the certainty, familiarity, or connection you once had. Healing doesn’t erase attachment. Growth doesn’t undo love. They simply reshape how those feelings live inside you. The heart is capable of honoring what mattered without needing to return to it.

Grief is not a sign of resistance. It's a sign of love & integration. It’s how we make room for the past without letting it dictate the future. Allowing yourself to feel it doesn’t slow your progress; it deepens it. It lets you move forward honestly, carrying both gratitude & grief with the same steady hands.

This week at Little Leaf, we are honouring the lessons of winter. Winter reminds us that life doesn’t always move forward through effort and expansion. Sometimes it moves through rest, slowness, reflection, and trust. This season invites us to pause, look inward, make sense of what we’ve lived and honor what is ending without rushing ourselves into the next chapter. Quietly making space and laying the groundwork for what is yet to bloom

Lessons Of Winter:
• Rest is not laziness: Rest is an intentional pause that allows the body, mind, and nervous system to recover so we can keep going sustainably.

• Stillness restores: In moments of true stillness, the nervous system resets and healing naturally begins.

• Slowness is wisdom: Moving slowly helps us listen more closely, make clearer choices, and respond rather than react.

• Reflection brings clarity: Winter offers space to look inward, integrate what we’ve lived, and carry forward only what truly matters.

• Preparation happens in the quiet: The most meaningful groundwork is often laid in stillness, silence, reflection, and rest rather than constant momentum. This is where your inner strength and resilience take form.

• Trust in the unseen: Even when there’s no outward evidence, important growth and change can be happening beneath the surface. Roots grow deep when nothing is visible.

• Honour endings and make space for grief: Take the time to acknowledge what has been lost or completed, without rushing to fix or move past it.When we allow grief to be fully felt and tended to, grief moves through us, helping us lay down what no longer needs to be carried.
