🍼✨ Tiny dolls, big feelings. ✨🍼

In play therapy, baby dolls are more than toys: they’re tools for children to explore emotions, practice nurturing, and express experiences they may not have words for yet.

Through gentle, imaginative play, children can:
💛 Develop empathy and caregiving skills
💛 Explore family roles and relationships
💛 Process feelings about change, loss, or new siblings
💛 Build confidence in their ability to care for themselves and others

Sometimes, the smallest playthings help heal the biggest feelings. 💕

Therapy in the Garden? Yes, Please! 🌸🌻🌼
Gardening isn’t just about plants—it’s powerful therapy for little ones. Here’s why:

1. Calms Big Feelings – The sensory experience of soil, water, and fresh air helps regulate emotions and reduce anxiety.

2. Grows Responsibility – Caring for plants gives kids a sense of control and pride.

3. Strengthens Connection – Gardening together creates space for trust, attunement, and co-regulation.

4. Teaches Resilience – Kids learn that growth takes time and that it’s okay to start over.

5. Encourages Expression – The garden becomes a place to explore emotions, tell stories, and heal through hands-on experience.

Therapy can happen in the most beautiful places—sometimes all it takes is a little dirt and sunshine.

Bad Moms: The Caregiver Chaos Workshop
Presented by Good Times Wellness

Saturday, May 3 | 7:30–9:30 PM | Shrugging Doctor (483 Berry St.)
$39 + tax | Registration link in bio

Calling all moms, aunties, grandmas, pet moms, emotional-support friends, and chaos coordinators—this night is for you.

Join us for an evening of real connection, real humour, and zero-pressure wellness. We’ll swap confessions, reflect on the chaos, learn about self-compassion (yes, there’s research!) and walk away with a personalized Self-Care Prescription—no yoga mats required.

Expect:

• Confession-style table talk
• A lighthearted “chaos tally” to reflect on the caregiving load
• Research-backed self-compassion insights
• A cheeky “Self-Care Rx” activity—write yourself a prescription for what you actually need (dosage + refills included)
• Real conversation. Real laughs. Real connection.
• Optional wine. Obviously.

About Us:

We’re Amber & Kathleen, a school psychologist and a registered social worker who teamed up to create Good Times Wellness—professional development and wellness experiences that feel relatable and fun.

Whether you’re thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between—you don’t have to do it alone. Come refill your cup (and maybe your glass).

Spots are limited. Grab your seat now—link’s in our bio.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories.

Through guided eye movements or bilateralstimulation, EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories, allowing them to be stored in a less distressing way.

It's a transformative journey towards emotional healing and wellness.

Sound Healing Therapy

Sound healing therapy is a gentle yet powerful practice that uses vibrational frequencies to promote relaxation, emotional release, and overall well-being. Through instruments like singing bowls, tuning forks, and guided sound meditations, this therapy helps reduce stress, balance energy, and support healing on a deep level.

In our sessions, sound waves work to calm the nervous system, release tension, and create a sense of harmony within the mind and body. Whether you seek relief from anxiety, emotional blockages, or simply wish to reconnect with yourself, sound healing offers a peaceful space for transformation and inner balance.

Experience the soothing effects of sound and discover its ability to restore your well-being.
