Biidaasige Park in Toronto is an accessible and free zone to plan your Wellness Walk. The city has planted an amazingly diverse garden of trees and flowering perennials! The trails are well paved and lead around newly constructed ponds so that the Don River can empty into Lake Ontario.

Trails link with the existing Martin Goodman bicycle and hiking pathways that can connect your walk to Cherry Beach and Unwin Ave. So, you can make your Wellness Walk an easy going meander or a longer more challenging cardio activity!

The creative design links Torontos indigenous history with two modern bridges.

Take time to explore this new area and marvel at the excellence in design when motivation & care collide for the purpose of health & wellness for people & the planet.

Here’s hoping that this new system prevents future flooding of the Don and allows spillover to find its way back to the lake.

Do.Think. Feel Well!

Transitioning to retirement is an emotional process especially for people whose professional identity is held in high esteem. People who have invested in their careers are often quite expert at the very time that ageing begins to take a toll and normative developmental life stages happen like the exciting times of grand-parenting! Forgetting simple tasks or momentarily losing things at work like your glasses or cell phone are small reminders about the ageing process. Many subtle changes have little impact on the quality of work as more senior people have really mastered their jobs and roles.

These subtle cues are more important for you to accept that normative ageing changes things! There are several scientifically supported resources that link changes due to menopause on health and wellness in women as they age.

Although tremendously transformative, menopause also yields the important reality that there comes a time to adjust your pace and slow down…one of the first challenging stages of ageing. For men, these health challenges are often cardio-related and sadly remind people about health vulnerabilities in the form of mild heart attacks.

Some workplaces fail to accommodate the needs of ageing professionals for whom health and wellness of self and family are paramount. Accepting this reality may also be the second challenging transition to retiring early.

There are several ways to transition into retirement and many people, like me never fully retire while their health allows it.

Deciding to work with me when you turn 50 years old is a healthy way to take an honest look at your plans for the next 5 to 10 years. Supporting people to shift their mindset to a healthy and happy retirement has been a blessing in my career. Working with a credentialed mental health and wellness coach offsets any trauma caused by unexpected pressures to retire early. This is especially true for individuals with histories of trauma.

Be mindful of middle-age and the years to follow. Give yourself time and space to consider your own life plan and what matters most to you.

Many thanks for a wonderful day with a group of high achieving women! Annie planned an excellent day the reminded each of us about the importance of holistic wellbeing especially for women.

Specifically targeted for post menopausal professionals this even centered around the scone of food as estrogen levels dwindle.

Happy that some younger women also joined in to heed the healthy warning of self-care in the normative caring roles of women.

It was great to reconnect with Annie, Shiffo and Tesss! Cheers to the fun and joy discovered in healthy habits!!!

Cheers to the Food Fare Group who prepared amazingly high quality meals and to the co-sponsors who generously provided gifts for all of us.

Psychotherapy Informed Wellness Coaching has proven to be effective for both men and women seeking to remain healthy while working to earn a living to support one’s family.

Men are traditionally more neglectful of their primary health as evidenced by rates of cardiac disease and death. In modern times, more and more men have made the wise decision to integrate psychotherapy into their wellness plans.

There is so much literature on leadership & health. Research shows that people promoted to lead are committed to disciplined patterns of exercise and diet. Leaders seem to develop an intuitive sense about the importance of physical, social, and mental wellbeing while meeting professional goals. They prioritise healthy habits and implement them with confidence.

Modern men also centralize commitments to family and work harder than ever to ensure they are honest, available, and involved in the lives of their children and wives who are mostly also working in professional capacities.

This newer generation of leaders have learned lessons from their parents and grandparents. They understand the hardship caused in families when commitments at work were viewed as more important than family.

Learning about balance in life is a newer preoccupation for men, especially in those chosen to lead.

Happy Father’s Day to achieving daddies who do their best to stay healthy & well. There are so many young men making sound decisions about their health that will benefit them over the long haul.

There are so many exciting ways to stay healthy, and discipline does not need to be boring! If you are bored, consider reviewing your current health strategies with a Professional Holistic Wellness Coach!

Happy to support the good work of several local social service agencies at the Palais Royale this afternoon. Invited by the OEYC this event offered local seniors opportunities to connect over a generous meal together. A gentle shoutout to Social Service Workers in the field.

Psychotherapy typically challenges clients to explore deep emotional issues related to historical family of origin problems. Core wounds are usually related to relational patterns with primary caregivers.

Social Workers know that not all children have parents and parental practices they deserve. We also acknowledge that people do their best and that sadly, love is not always enough!

In my many years in the field, I have not ever met a parent who did not love their child! Parenting requires a foundation of love and then a whole set of practical skills that teach self-discipline, emption-regulation, and respect of boundaries.

I am personally blessed to be in a community surrounded by such wonderful mothers ! So, here’s to affirming all that mothers do on a daily basis mostly privately, to grow healthy loving families & communities!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Interesting introduction to Jamie Smart’s book entitled ‘Results: Think Less, Achieve More’. As most successful coaches will recommend, it is important to cultivate a personal sense of stillness and quiet before embarking on goal setting.

Being authentic and honest about your needs and wants is foundational to sustaining wellness in competitive environments that no longer assess “value” in traditional ways.

In an age of disinformation and distraction, it is far easier to be duped by what might appear to be the quality you & your company or organization deserves.

If you expect excellence in others, start first with the self!

Be Well as you Achieve
