We all have things we’ve been avoiding.⁠

The “I’ll deal with it later” thoughts.⁠ The feelings we keep brushing off.⁠

But later has a way of catching up.⁠

Counselling gives you a space to unpack what’s been sitting in the background, with someone who’s there to listen, not fix or judge.⁠

You don’t have to carry it on your own.⁠ Visit our website to learn more about our team of counsellors.

There’s something about being outside in nature that brings you back to yourself.⁠

No pressure.⁠
No expectations.⁠
Just space to breathe and soften a little.⁠

Sometimes that’s all you need.⁠

Spring reset, but make it realistic 🐝

No extreme routines, just small things that actually help you feel better day to day.⁠

Try a few, notice what shifts, and go from there.⁠

And if you want extra support, we’re here for you, with massage therapy, counselling, infrared sauna, and community events.

There’s nothing better than hearing how supported our clients feel after a session. ✨

Nevin brings a calm, grounded presence to every treatment, creating space for both physical relief and a deeper sense of ease in the body.

We’re so grateful to have him on the team.

Happy Easter long weekend 🌸⁠

A gentle reminder that rest is not something you have to earn. Slowing down, taking a breath, and giving your body space to settle is part of how you support your overall wellbeing.⁠

Whether you’re spending the weekend with loved ones, out in nature, or simply enjoying a slower pace at home, we hope you find moments that feel grounding and restorative.⁠

This is your invitation to check in with yourself and honour what you need.⁠

Wishing you a restful and nourishing long weekend! ⁠

Katerina Rapundalo brings a grounded, compassionate presence to her work as a Registered Massage Therapist at Eleven Arrows. A graduate of Vancouver Career College’s 2800 hour massage therapy program, her approach is shaped by both extensive training and lived experience.⁠

As a mother, Kat has a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental transitions of pregnancy, birth, and recovery. She specializes in women’s and childbearing health, including prenatal and postpartum care, C section rehabilitation, breast treatment, and infant and child massage.⁠

Kat also supports clients with sports and orthopedic injuries, motor vehicle accident recovery, and neurological conditions, always approaching care through a whole person lens. Her practice is inclusive and affirming for children and teens, LGBTQIA2S, and neurodivergent individuals.⁠

Outside the treatment room, Kat enjoys movement, creative projects, time outdoors, and life with her family.

We’re so grateful to have her on the Eleven Arrows team 🤍

✨️⁠ Affordable counselling | 50 minute session for $50

Currently offered by Jeff, a professional counsellor in training at Eleven Arrows. He brings a calm, thoughtful presence to his work, offering clients space to slow down, listen more closely to themselves, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface.⁠

A graduate of the Vancouver College of Counsellor Training of Canada, Jeff takes a collaborative approach rooted in curiosity rather than quick fixes.

His sessions are steady and spacious, supporting those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and those navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or relational challenges.⁠

Visit our website to book your complimentary 20-minute consultation.

Cold air outside, deep nourishing warmth inside. Now is the perfect time to slow down, warm up, and let your body fully exhale.

Paul is giving you a little tour of the sauna so you can see the space before you come in.

Here’s what your body will thank you for:

• That feel-good contrast of cold air and soothing heat
• Immune system support
• Deep muscle release and tension melt-away
• Mental clarity and nervous system calming

And yes, sauna sessions are now bookable online. Come on in.

Happy International Women’s Day ✨

Today we celebrate women in all their diversity and honour the strength, resilience, and contributions of women everywhere. It’s a day to recognize stories, achievements, and the many ways women shape our communities and the world around us.

Here’s to fostering spaces rooted in respect, care, and connection, where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

With appreciation and celebration, today and always!
