Having spent much of her life disconnected from herself—combatting self-deprecating thoughts, distant from her feelings, estranged from the essence of who she truly was—she knew something had to change.
It did not happen by chance.
It did not happen overnight.
It was not without effort, consistency and courage.
But once she began the quiet, brave work of turning inward—of listening, of loving, of honouring - her whole life changed.
She began to better know herself.
She began to trust her intuition.
She began to connect to the wisdom of her heart.
She finally belonged fully to herself.
And as she connected more deeply to her truest self, she came to understand that what she wanted more than anything was to be in community with others who were on similar journeys.
She wanted to create opportunities where we could do this work together.
She wanted to find places where we could practice, coming home to ourselves.
Opportunities for us to slow down in order to deepen our connections.
And so she built Cedar and Sage Wellness in pursuit of that dream.
This past year she hosted 4 community fires, 4 community brunches, 4 community workshops, and 16 community walks. And the journey has only just begun.
Cheers to connection and belonging, not just to ourselves, but to each other.

✨SELF-AWARENESS✨ is one of the top predictors of success.
How well you know yourself impacts every aspect of your life - your health, your work, your relationships with yourself and with others.
Self awareness is about your ability to understand your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
It is about recognizing how your inner values align with your outer actions.
It is about really knowing yourself and being honest with yourself about your strengths and your weaknesses.
It is about owning where you are, who you are and how you are.
And getting clear on where you want to be, who you want to be and how you want to be.
The space in between these two versions of ourselves, is the disconnect that so many of us feel at the core of our lives.
It takes courage to recognize and acknowledge all of the different parts of ourselves.
It can feel uncomfortable and vulnerable to want change or to want more for ourselves.
But when we lean into this gentle practice of better understanding all of these aspects of ourselves, it elevates the quality of our lives and results in a deeper connection to our lives and by default to our health.
Let’s get curious.
Let’s go deeper.
Let’s allow ourselves time and space to explore.
To ask more questions.
To get more aware.
There is medicine here for all of us.
Let’s ‘go there’.
❤️ 💣

💊We cannot keep treating lifestyle diseases with pills.
💊I am not just talking about prescriptions, I am also talking about supplements and vitamins.
🫒We need to address lifestyle diseases with lifestyle.
🫒I know that implementing lifestyle changes can feel like a lot.
💊I know that sometimes we need an ‘easy button’, a short- cut or some acute symptom relief.
🫒But let’s not underestimate the importance of diet, movement, sleep, stress management and connection.
🫒These are the pillars, the foundation, the game-changers.
🫒These are the tools, the levers and the original medicines.
❤️I am not here to create work for you, nor to point fingers or play the blame or shame game.
❤️I am here on a mission to empower you in your wellness journey and I know that it can be confusing and overwhelming to navigate this space.
❤️So this is me, planting a small seed/reminder that while we can overcomplicate things and look for advanced maneuvers and fixes; we can also keep it really simple.
❤️We can shift our focus to getting into bed earlier, to eating more vegetables and protein, to moving our body more regularly, to taking a few deep breaths, to staying connected to ourselves and the needs of our physiology.
❤️I am here to help you simplify and to help you navigate the journey and to talk about the elephants in the room. 🐘🤓❤️

It is still a work in progress but I look forward to growing this community and opening our hearts to new ways of living. ❤️✨🙏🏻

On this day about love, she turned inward to see;
all the beautiful pieces that set her heart free.
🩷
This journey of love is not what she once thought.
It wasn’t ‘out there’ but ‘in here’ that she sought.
🩷
She connected more deeply to her essence and soul.
She was finally ready to surrender control.
🩷
And in this place of observation, she reconnected to her source. It was not mistakeable, it was a very strong force.
🩷
A force that drives her to be open, loving and kind.
A force that reminds her to get out of ego and mind.
🩷
She is surrounded by blessings from far and from near.
She embraces herself and holds her heart dear.
🩷
Thank you. I love you. She whispers to herself.
Happy Valentine’s Day All, let’s be kind to ourself. 💖

💞I love you. I am listening.💞
These 6 words have literally changed my life.
It is not simply speaking these words that provides healing.
Nor is it the understanding of what these words mean intellectually that matters.
It is the practice of saying these words and meaning them.
And more than meaning them, it is about being able to receive them.
And in receiving them, I am able to connect to and feel them deeply.
And that feeling of deep connection and care has become a way of life.
💞I love you. I am listening.💞
These words are an invitation, a guide, a compass, a mirror, my North star.
They are an operating system based in love, in kindness, in awareness, in trust and in honour.
When I was struggling to take care of my body, mind, heart and spirit - this is what helped me through.
Our health is about many, many different things but at the core of wellness is our ability to love and to listen to ourselves and without this practice there is a disconnect.
This disconnect is at the core of so many of our health issues.
💞I love you. I am listening.💞
There is medicine here for each of us.
Let’s connect to the wisdom, warmth and love within.
Let’s change the narrative and the practice surrounding wellness.
Let’s simplify the long lists of to do’s and commit to gentler practices that honour what we need, how we feel and who we are.
Let’s love more and let’s listen more.
Sending you love on this beautiful February day. 💞

Someone asked me earlier this week why I began cold dipping?
🩵I began because my heart was broken and my mind was struggling to make sense of the way the pandemic was being handled.
🩵I began because the lake welcomed me with open arms, while gyms and restaurants closed their doors on me.
🩵I began because I wanted to be in community with people that were focused on living rather than fearful of dying.
🩵I began because I wanted and needed to feel connected to nature.
🩵I began because I was seeking a practice of surrender.
🩵I began because I needed something to look forward to during a dark season in my life.
3+ years later.
🩵I dip because it makes me feel truly alive.
🩵I dip because it connects me to something much bigger than me and has become a spiritual practice in my life, that I hadn’t known was missing.
🩵I dip because the lake brings out a sense of playfulness and excitement, even when it is painfully cold at times.
🩵I dip because I have met a beautiful community of cold water warriors that warm my heart.
🩵I dip because I want to start my day in nature.
🩵I dip because this practice has provided healing, wisdom and resilience.
🩵I dip because this is part of a self-love journey that has brought me home to my heart.
🩵I dip because it grounds me and keeps me rooted to this beautiful life of mine.
This practice has become that ‘space in my life to heal body, mind,’ heart and spirit.
Thank you Lake Ontario for 3 years of FREE therapy.
See you again tomorrow. 🩵❄️🙏

I just relistened to this podcast yesterday Proven Tactics to Get You Happier and it is so good!! Harvard Professor Arthur Brooks outlines the macronutrients of happiness. It is such a user-friendly listen and full of wisdom. Here is a quick recap.

😀Happiness = Enjoyment + Satisfaction + Purpose

🥰Enjoyment = Pleasure + People + Memory
People often assume that enjoyment is simply pleasure. Brooks says, constantly chasing purely pleasurable experiences, is a terrible way to live a fulfilling life and often leads to addiction. He says, you experience enjoyment when you take a source of pleasure and add people and memory to the mix.

😊Satisfaction = Balancing What We Have With What We Want. Satisfaction is the joy, the reward, that you get after you struggle for something. Brooks says. “We need to struggle, we need to strive, we need to sacrifice, we even need pain in our lives, because that’s actually how we earn something.

🧐Purpose = Coherence + Meaning + Significance
Purpose the feeling that your life has a sense of meaning, Brooks says this is the most important of all three macronutrients.Coherence = why do things happen the way they do? Meaning = why is my life unfolding the way it is? What are my goals and what is my direction? Significance = why does it matter that I am here?

Happiness is a personal practice not a destination.
Sending happiness your way on this sunny Sunday.😘

I am passionate about health and believe that it is our greatest asset. Health, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.” Many of us are struggling with different aspects of our health and it is not always an easy path forward. My role as a naturopathic doctor is to provide knowledge, motivation and guidance to support you on your path to optimized health. Our well-being is our lens through which we experience our world so let’s make sure that lens is as ‘clean’ as possible.

“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.” Naeem Callaway
