My very last class at

Itโ€™s strange to know that we will never gather here again.

Many blessings to those who will gather here in the future. There is so much love here in these walls.

Why You NEED to Celebrate Yourself More

Hereโ€™s something I was talking about with a friend the other dayโ€ฆ
When we fail, it hits hard.
Itโ€™s loud.
Itโ€™s messy.
People notice.
Our nervous system notices.
And it becomes an elevated emotional memory we replay over and over again.

But the wild part?

We succeed at SO many things every single day, and because thereโ€™s no finish lineโ€ฆ no momentโ€ฆ no celebrationโ€ฆ
Those moments donโ€™t get stored in our body the same way.

We raise the bar.
We move on.
We barely even acknowledge ourselves.

So our system becomes wired to remember the heavy thingsโ€ฆ
while completely overlooking the things weโ€™re actually proud of.

But hereโ€™s the truth:
If memories are formed through elevated emotions, then we need to start creating elevated emotions around our WINS โ€” big, small, and everything in between.

Celebration isnโ€™t selfish.
Itโ€™s not egotistical.
Itโ€™s not โ€œtoo much.โ€
Itโ€™s necessary.

โœจ Celebrate being a present parent today with a solo dance party.
โœจ Take yourself out for dinner because you made progress on a project.
โœจ Buy yourself a little gift because you worked your ass off today.
โœจ Call a friend and say, โ€œCome with me to Starbucks, girl, I just decluttered my closet and Iโ€™m PROUD of myself.โ€

Make celebration normal. Make honouring yourself normal.
Make being proud of who you are and how you show up in the world normal.

Because when we intentionally create emotional memories tied to our accomplishments, we give ourselves something powerful to look back on โ€” something that fuels us, motivates us, and reminds us who the hell we are.

You deserve to feel good about yourself.
You deserve to be celebrated.
And you deserve to be the one who celebrates you the loudest.

Joy is a strategy.
Celebration is medicine.
And YOU are worth the moment. ๐Ÿ’›โœจ

Dear We Thrive Community,

Over nine years ago, in a moment of shared inspiration, Sarah and Cristol had a simultaneous vision: to create a wellness centre rooted in holistic care, compassion and true human connection. We could never have imagined how that single idea would blossom, how it would grow into one of the most transformative experiences of our lives, and into a sanctuary that has held, supported and uplifted thousands of incredible people.

From the very beginning, We Thrive has been more than a business. It has been a living, breathing community. It has been a place where stories were shared, hearts were held, and deep healing unfolded. It has been a home for practitioners who poured their souls into their work, and a refuge for clients who trusted us with their wellbeing. For all of this, and for every moment you shared with us, we are profoundly grateful.

From our announcement two months ago, time has moved quietly and quickly, and we now find ourselves here, arriving at the close of this chapter with full and reflective hearts. As we have listened deeply to the lessons this centre has offered us, it became clear that the time has come to honour shifting priorities in our lives and to make space for new beginnings, both for us and for our extraordinary team. We have always believed that We Thrive was something bigger than us, an entity with its own spirit, rhythm and calling, and we are choosing to follow that gentle guidance with gratitude and reverence.

As we transition out of this space, we want to ensure you know exactly where to find the beautiful practitioners who have poured their hearts into this community.

As for what comes next for Sarah and Cristol, Sarah and her husband are embarking on a beautiful new journey as they move to Kingston into their dream home. Sarah will be continuing her studies in Psychotherapy, deepening the gifts she has always naturally carried. Keep an eye out for her offerings as a Psychotherapist in the futureโ€”she is a natural in this work, and the clients who find their way to her care will be truly fortunate.

Cristol will continue supporting her husband in her chosen profession at The Foot Health Centre in Cobourg while also guiding her teams at Nourish Skin & Spa and newly opened Rooted Ritual Head Spa. Her work remains rooted in the same values that shaped We Thrive: intentional care, meaningful connection and supporting community wellbeing.

As the doors at We Thrive Wellness Centre have closed, please know that this is not an ending, it is an evolution. The spirit, the lessons and the connections created within these walls will continue to ripple outward. We take with us every memory, every story and every moment of shared humanity with full hearts.

Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for growing with us. Thank you for being the heartbeat of We Thrive.

With endless appreciation and love,

Cristol and Sarah
