I close 2025 with deep gratitude and walk into 2026 with courage, stepping forward with a deeper understanding of self, stronger connections, and a business that keeps growing—one retreat, one person, one moment at a time.

Close your eyes for a moment. Breathe in deeply.🌿

Imagine waking up on a crisp winter morning, snow falling softly outside, the scent of spruce and pine grounding you in stillness.

The air carries whispers of peppermint and eucalyptus, clearing the mind and opening the breath. A fire crackles nearby, and the warmth wraps around you like a blanket.

Seasonal essential oils help us connect to the rhythm of the land — reminding us that even in stillness, there is renewal. ❄️

Healing takes many forms, and we're honoured to be part of your healing journey–from Reiki to Reflexology.

✨ Reiki – is an energy healing practice that uses gentle energy and light touch to clear blockages and invite harmony back into your body’s energy flow.
🌙 Craniosacral Therapy – is a soft, hands-on technique that works with the rhythm of your nervous system to release tension, ease pain, and promote deep relaxation.
🌟 Reflexology – focuses on pressure points in the feet and hands that correspond to different parts of the body — encouraging circulation, calm, and natural healing.

Each treatment is unique, yet all are guided by the same purpose: to help you reconnect, restore, and find balance within yourself.

Which modalities have you tried?

From seed to soil and garden to cup. 🌿

At Water Spirit Spa, Karen picks traditional plants and also grows medicinal herbs in her medicine garden to support balance and wellness. Each herb is carefully harvested, dried, and blended to create teas that soothe the body, calm the mind, and nourish the spirit. ✨

Every retreat tells a story of connection, healing, and coming home to the land. 🌿

Our hosted experiences range from bush skills and outdoor adventure to guided healing and mindfulness, all grounded in Métis teachings and holistic wellness.

Find your balance. Reconnect. Restore. ✨

The joy of the Red River Jig carries the stories, strength, and spirit of Métis People. 🧡

We celebrate our community, traditions, and culture through movement this Métis Week.

This week, we celebrate Métis leader Louis Riel during Métis Week — a time to honour our history, stories, resilience, and teachings that continue to shape our communities. My great great grandfathers Pierre Poitras and Francois Dauphinais sat beside him on the first Provisional Government at Red River 🌿

At Water Spirit Spa, Métis culture isn’t just remembered, it's lived every day. Through beading, foraging, dance, and storytelling, these teachings continue to guide the work we do.

This Métis Week, we not only honour Louis Riel and past leaders, we celebrate our history, culture, the gift of knowledge, and the teachings that remind us who we are. 🧡

For National Women's Entrepreneurship Day, we honour the women who lead with heart, vision, and community. Water Spirit Spa is guided by balance, respect, and connection rooted in Indigenous Knowledge, language and teachings.

Thank you for walking this journey with me! 🧡

In Cree, wâhkôhtowin means kinship, the understanding that family, friends, community, the land, and all living things are interconnected.

It reminds us that connection and small moments can be acts of relationship and gratitude. ☕️

When we gather, share stories, or simply hold space for one another, we live wâhkôhtowin. 🧡
