Our popular Yin Yoga & Massage fundraiser in support of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation returns on Wednesday, November 26 at 7:30 p.m.

This 75-minute experience will have you feeling pampered as our yoga instructors guide you through a calming yin yoga practice. You’ll receive gentle massage and adjustments during the session, allowing you to sink deeper into each pose, releasing layers of tension and expanding your state of relaxation.

Lisa Rochon, Susan Woodley, and Anne-Marie Audet lead the class, as registered massage therapist Stephanie Healey provides the massage component.

You don’t need to be a member to join us. Space is limited to allow for individual attention. Register at our front desk, by phone, with our mobile app, or online for a donation amount of $20, $50, or $100.

***Please note: the sensory experience will be enhanced with diffusers and essential oils.

"This is nervous-system care in a loud season: shopping, travel, hosting, family dynamics, extra emotions, late nights, extra alcohol, inconsistent meals. It all adds up - physically, mentally, emotionally. Your body will handle it so much better when you build in recovery on purpose."

We’re looking forward to officially welcoming Erin Rickli, MSW/RSW, Psychotherapist, to our Collaborative Care Centre on November 17.

Erin works with pre-teen/teens, adults, and couples in her counselling practice. Her approach is integrative, blending authenticity, gentleness, and evidence-based strategies to meet your unique needs.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and she doesn’t believe in rigid formulas. Instead, she meets you where you are, offering support that feels relevant, practical, and (most importantly) genuine. She welcomes clients from all backgrounds, identities, and orientations, ensuring a space where you feel truly seen and heard.

Appointments with Erin can be booked at our front desk, through our app, or online.

We’ve created a Frequently Asked Questions document (PDF) to answer questions you may have about counselling at our Collaborative Care Centre. You can find it on our website https://www.heritagefitness.ca/health-care-services/

The Christmas angel tree in support of The Carleton Place Christmas Basket Program is now up at our front desk. This annual initiative collects gifts for vulnerable individuals in our community.

The angels were snapped up fast this morning — a testament to the generosity of our community 💕

We'll have more angels on the tree shortly 🎄

If you take an angel tag while you're here, please register with the team at the front desk so we can account for each recipient/gift. Unwrapped gifts (with the angel tags attached) are due back to us by Thursday, December 11.

If you know of a family in need, the organization is also accepting confidential requests for Christmas baskets. You can find more information on their page.
