Today we’re walking.

Together, alongside our community, at Flora’s Walk.

This is something we’ve been part of since the very beginning—
and each year, it continues to matter in its own way.

Because this walk is about more than showing up.

It’s about remembering.
Honouring.
Creating space for conversations that are often hard to have.

And continuing to raise awareness for maternal mental health—
a part of care that so many families are still navigating quietly.

There’s something powerful about walking side by side.

About being in community.
About knowing you’re not alone in what you carry.

We’re grateful to be here again this year.
To walk.
To remember.
To stand alongside others in support of maternal mental health.

You do not need to wait for the “right” time to care for yourself.

It does not have to be a full day off, a perfect routine, or a big change.
Sometimes, it begins with one minute.

One minute to pause.
One minute to take a breath.
One minute to soften the way you are speaking to yourself.

Self-love can be quiet. It can be simple. It can happen in the middle of everything else.

It might look like stepping outside for fresh air, unclenching your shoulders, taking a sip of water, or giving yourself permission to slow down, even briefly.

These moments may seem small, but they matter. Over time, they create space for something different. A little more ease. A little more care.

If today feels full or overwhelming, you do not have to do it all.
You can start with one minute.

That is enough.

We wanted to share a quick update with you.

Our website is currently down, which also means our admin email is temporarily unavailable.

We know how important it is to be able to reach us, and we’re working to get everything back up and running as soon as possible.

In the meantime:

— Clients can still connect directly with their therapist via their individual Cherry Tree email
— Our phone line remains open if you need to reach our Care Coordinator

We appreciate your patience while we sort this out.

And as always, we’re here to support you.

📞 You can reach us by phone if needed at (289) 309-1390

We’ve been working on something behind the scenes.

Something we wish existed sooner.
Something many of you have been quietly asking for.

A space that understands this season...
not just physically, but emotionally too.

Watch this space tomorrow for the news you've been waiting for ✨

Flora’s Walk 2026 is almost here!

What started from humble beginnings has grown into something truly powerful, a community showing up year after year for perinatal mental health, for mothers, and for families who deserve more support and understanding.

This will be our 5th year walking alongside this community, and it continues to matter just as much as it did on day one.

We will be there, rain or shine, and we would love to see you. Come find us and say hi.

May 3rd at 10am
Optimist Club of Stoney Creek

If you cannot make it in person, you can still support Flora's Walk!

Head to Team Hamilton, and look for Cherry Tree Counselling to donate ~ any amount is welcome.

Every step forward helps build more awareness, more care, and more support for families navigating the perinatal period.

We believe care should feel:

— informed
— compassionate
— not rushed
— not dismissive

Especially in seasons that are often overlooked.

You deserve to feel met.
Not minimized.

We’ve been building something with these exact values in mind.

Stay tuned ❤️

Maybe it was a moment.
A boundary you didn’t back down from.
A truth you finally said out loud.

Maybe it was quieter than that.
Choosing rest without explaining.
Letting something be unfinished.
Noticing your needs and actually listening.

And you know what?
Sometimes healing changes in the smallest, most ordinary ways.
Not a big breakthrough.
But a subtle shift that says, something is different now.

There’s no right way to finish this sentence.
Just your way.
At your pace.
In your own words.

We’d love to hold space for whatever comes up for you, whether you share it here or just take a moment to reflect.

If you’re ready for support in your healing, you can book a session at www.cherrytreecounselling.ca

You’re not imagining it.

And you’re not meant to navigate this alone.

The emotional shifts.
The physical changes.
The moments of “what is happening to me?”

They’re real.

And they deserve care that actually understands them.

We’ve been thinking a lot about what that kind of support could look like.

Stay tuned ❤️

Associate Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist Amy Commanda from our team will soon be able to offer therapy services to First Nations and Inuit clients covered under the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program.

As a First Nations therapist, this is something Amy has been working toward with care and intention. Her approach to therapy is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in creating a space where you do not have to explain or justify your experiences to be understood.

Amy believes therapy should feel like a place where you can move at your own pace, reconnect with yourself, and feel supported in a way that is steady and respectful.

Amy focuses on supporting adult women, mothers, and perinatal clients who are seeking support with anxiety, stress management, sleep issues, identity, work-life balance, life transitions, and more.

A waitlist is now open for those who would like to access therapy through this program with Amy.

Please reach out to us at admin@cherrytreecounselling.ca to be put on the waitlist or if you have any questions.

Postpartum psychosis is rare, but it is serious.

It can come on quickly, often within the first days or weeks after birth, and may include confusion, disorientation, rapid mood changes, or seeing or hearing things that others do not. For families, it can feel frightening and overwhelming. For the person experiencing it, it can feel deeply disorienting and unlike themselves.

This is a mental health emergency. And it is treatable.

Bringing awareness to postpartum psychosis matters because early recognition and support can make a critical difference. No one should have to navigate this alone.

As part of our commitment to perinatal mental health, we are honoured to take part in Flora’s Walk and to continue these important conversations in our community.

If you or someone you love may be experiencing symptoms, seeking immediate medical support is essential. You can also reach out to our team for guidance on next steps and support.

You can join us at the walk on May 3rd (10am) at the Optimist Club of Stoney Creek.

Have you ever thought,
“Why does everything suddenly feel so much harder?”

More irritable.
More anxious.
Less like yourself.

And no clear reason why.

For many women, this is part of perimenopause.

Hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, and the weight of midlife responsibilities can all show up as mood changes that feel sudden and confusing.

You’re not imagining it.
And you’re not alone in it.

Our latest blog, Mood Changes in Midlife: Understanding Perimenopause and Depression Risk, breaks this down in a way that actually makes sense.

We’re curious…

What’s something about midlife or hormonal changes that you weren’t prepared for?

You can share as much or as little as you’d like.
Or simply read and feel a little less alone.

We’re listening closely to what’s coming up.

Stay tuned ❤️
