Happy Winter Solstice!☀️

Our clients know that the Brightside clinic is a relaxed space that feels anything but clinical. But did you know that we also have a retail corner with locally-made wellness products to browse before, or after your appointment? Our newest addition is from Crystal Moon Mystic - beautiful handmade crystal suncatchers that are hard to resist! Perfect for when you need a last minute holiday gift... or a treat for yourself!

For many, the holidays can present challenging moments and bring forth some difficult feelings. It is therefore important to know that you are not alone, and that is ok to practice self-compassion and protect your boundaries, which is a form of self-care.❤️

Need a little extra support? We are here for you:

Don't have insurance and the price of therapy is a barrier to seeking help?

Sage holiday self-care advice from our Nutritional Counsellor, Lauren Brady, RHN🍎

Most of my clients are overwhelmed women who have put everyone else first, for a long long time. And I find myself having to convince these clients that they matter and it is not selfish to invest in themselves, or to prioritize their health and well-being, because that spills over to benefit everyone else.
Is it a hard shift to make? Yes.
But as we are firmly in the middle of the holiday season, with society telling women that they need to bring home the bacon, cook it up, take care of everyone and create a magical Christmas (oh, and look perfect while doing it all) - I just wanted to be a voice that says NO. You can opt out. You can prioritize your peace and delegate... and if it doesn't get done, or get done to your standards? Get comfortable with that. Let go just a little bit. Instead of shopping and going into debt to buy decor and presents that nobody really needs anyway, take yourself to lunch. Go for a walk on the beach - nobody else is there - except me and I'll high five you!
