PSA a cute Raccoon doesn’t want you to track your calories but a bunch of suits round a board room want you too…

Because nothing says “health” like turning your nervous system into a performance review at 12:01 AM on Dec 26th 🙃

So before you download another diet app disguised as ✨self-care✨, here are 5 things to do instead in 2026 that actually support your wellbeing:

1️⃣ Wear clothes that don’t interrogate you all day. Comfort is data.

2️⃣ Uninfluence yourself from buying a vibrating standing plate. It is not helping your nervous system or your digestion. You just saved hundreds of dollars.

3️⃣ Unfollow anything that makes your body feel like a project. Yes, even if it has “wellness” in the bio.

4️⃣ Ask your body what it needs today. Not what the app, the trend, or the raccoon says.

5️⃣ Invest in rest, connection, support, and movement that feels human.

Your health does not begin with restriction.
Your worth is not unlocked by trends branded as discipline.
And your body is not a mascot that behaves better when you control it harder.

Save this. Send it to someone who needs it.

Let’s start 2026 in our bodies, not at war with them.

Your body is a home. Not a problem.

With love
Healing Recovery Centre, Your friendly anti diet mental health and wellness team

There was a moment early in my career, working in residential treatment with kids and teens who were really struggling, when I felt like I was holding my breath all the time.

Parents were exhausted. Burnt out. Ashamed. Doing everything they were told to do… and nothing was working.

Traditional skills weren’t cutting it. Behaviour charts, consequences, skills & ice packs… so many ice packs — they all felt like band-aids on something much deeper.

Then I found this work.

Emotion-Focused Family Therapy created by Adele Lafrance, the neuroscience of the nervous system, and later Dr. Becky’s lens on parenting, and the radical idea that parents aren’t the problem — they’re the medicine.

It felt like oxygen.

For the first time, there was a pathway that didn’t ask parents to be perfect…
but helped them remember who they already are.

And you know what?
It worked.

Parents started saying things like:
“If I had learned this sooner, everything would have been different.”
“This made everything else flow so much easier.”
“I finally feel like myself again as a parent.”

Less burnout.
Less shame.
Less self-blame.

More confidence.
More connection.
More love — even in the hard moments.

Since then, Mariana and I have taught these skills to hundreds of caregivers across Ontario, parents of young kids, teens, and adult children, with over 90% reporting a meaningful shift in how they show up, how they connect, and how their family relationships feel.

This is why we created The Parenting Reset.

And I’m so excited (and honestly so proud) to share that registration is now open.

🗓 Two-day in-person intensive
📍 January 17 & 24
🤍 Open to parents and caregivers across the lifespan

If you’re feeling frozen in the face of big emotions…
If you don’t know what to say when nothing seems to work…
If you’re longing for a reset that actually changes things…

This is for you.

✨ Start 2026 with the Parenting Reset you’ve been waiting for.
Discount codes available at checkout.

With so much love,

THIS TEAM.

(And yes, we’re missing a few gems in this video — but still… come on 😮‍💨)

Healing Recovery Centre is built on interdisciplinary values, deep respect for both clinical excellence and wellness, and the belief that truly holistic, trauma-informed care happens when we stop working in silos.

What you’re seeing here is just a snapshot — but at the heart of it all, we’re a group of humans doing work we deeply love. We hold ourselves to a standard of care we would send our own loved ones to. We stay curious, collaborative, and grounded in the knowing that people deserve more than one way to heal.

We are living proof that mental health care can look different — softer and evidence-based, relational and skilled, expansive and deeply human.

✨ Want to learn more about who we are and what we do?
Visit www.healingrecoverycentre.ca

👀 And yes… we’re growing.
We’ll be welcoming new team members in 2026. If you feel aligned with this work, this energy, and this vision — we want to hear from you.

Come build something meaningful with us 🤍

December… it’s an Olympic sport in the therapy world

12/12/2025

If your heart has been whispering “slow down”… this is your invitation. ✨

As the holiday rush begins to rise and the world gets a little louder, many of us feel that quiet ache for stillness — the desire to exhale, return to ourselves, and remember what actually matters.

The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year.
A moment when nature herself pauses…
when darkness softens into a gentle turning point…
and when light begins its slow return.

It’s a time for reflection, intention, and renewal — not through force, but through quiet, tender presence.

On December 21 at 7pm, we invite you into the candlelit warmth of Healing Recovery Centre for a very special Winter Solstice Meditation + Restorative Yoga class with Alison.

Alison is one of those rare humans whose presence feels like a soft embrace — grounded, warm, and deeply attuned. Her voice alone feels like exhaling tension you didn’t even realize you were holding. Being able to host her in our space feels like such an honour.

✨ What to expect:
– Candlelit restorative yoga
– A guided Winter Solstice meditation
– Gentle release + grounding practices
– Warm tea & quiet connection
– A moment to breathe in your own intentions for the season ahead in a 75 minute class just for you

If you’re craving slowness…
If you long for a ritual that feels sacred yet simple…
If your nervous system is asking for softness and your soul is asking for space…

This night was made for you.

Reserve your spot through the link in our bio.
Come sit in the stillness with us — and let the light find you again. 🤍✨

Let me remind you of something important…
You’re a human being — not a robot.
Which means you’re supposed to have emotions.
Even the messy, inconvenient, “why am I like this?” ones.

But somewhere along the way, we got the idea that every uncomfortable feeling needs to be fixed or “coping-skilled” out of existence.
And honestly? That’s where we lose a lot of the magic.

Because emotions aren’t just problems.
They’re messengers.
Signals.
Tiny little truth-tellers trying to get your attention.

Of course, we don’t want you drowning in your feelings — coping skills matter.
But there’s a sweet spot between tolerating distress and listening to the wisdom underneath it.

So next time an uncomfy emotion bubbles up, if you have the capacity and safety, try this before rushing to fix it:

✨ 1. Slow down. Breathe.
Bonus points if your exhale is longer than your inhale — your nervous system will thank you.

✨ 2. Get curious.
Ask:
– What is this emotion trying to teach me?
– What’s the tiny pearl of truth hiding in this feeling?

✨ 3. Validate + soothe.
Explore:
– What does my system need to feel safer right now?
– Is there a way to soothe this without abandoning myself?
– What is my body quietly asking for?

Your emotions aren’t flaws.
They’re invitations.
And when you listen — really listen — they’ll show you exactly where you’re longing to grow, heal, or reconnect.

✨ Be gentle with your heart today. It’s speaking to you. ✨

If your holiday table suddenly becomes a diet culture conference with Aunt Linda as the leader of the cause…
We invite you to bring this energy
“Actually? No Babe. Absolutely not.”

Because shrinking your body is not a personality,
food is not a moral issue,
and health cannot be measured by a number or a trend.

This holiday season, may you honour the body you live in,
not the one diet culture tries to sell you. ✨

Your body is not a problem to solve - it’s a home to return to

So many of the people who come to us have done everything the system told them to do.
Every medication option.
Every therapy approach.
Every referral.
And they’re still suffering.

Not because they’re “treatment resistant,”
but because the treatments we have available are not good enough for everyone.

At HRC, we refuse to accept the idea that someone should spend the rest of their life struggling with an illness they didn’t choose because the system has run out of ideas.

This is why we are committed to offering information, options, and support that go beyond the traditional box.
This is where psychedel!c-assisted therapy comes in for many people.

What’s becoming painfully common is hearing that even when a client has exhausted all traditional options, their primary treatment team still won’t support their right to explore legal psychedel!c care — even though everyone agrees they’ve “tried everything.”

And we get it: psychedel!c therapy feels new, unfamiliar, and for many practitioners, genuinely scary. It should be treated with caution.
But we also need to ask:
How much longer are we going to let fear — or “I don’t know enough about this” — block people from healing options they deserve?

At HRC, we’ve seen psychedelic-assisted therapy change lives.
We’ve seen it save lives.
We’ve also seen harm — often when people explore psychedel!cs on their own because they weren’t supported to pursue legal, regulated avenues with proper preparation and integration.

And we have to name the truth:
Canada’s psychedel!c landscape is not easy to navigate.
SAP criteria are strict.
Wait times are long.
Cost is a barrier for many.
The system needs an upgrade.

People are suffering more deeply and more complexly than ever before.
They deserve more than a “this is all we have” approach.

I asked ChatGPT what makes Healing Recovery Centre different and the response got me right in my feels 🥹🤎

It said everything I’ve always felt in my heart about this place. Everything I hoped people would feel the moment they walked through our doors. Everything I dreamed about when HRC was born just over 5 years ago.

HRC isn’t just a clinic. It’s a community built on compassion, choice, safety, love and the belief that people deserve more than one way to heal.

It’s a team of humans who offer real expertise, lived experience, and heart-led care. It’s a space where your whole self is welcome. The messy parts, the tender parts, the hopeful parts, the exhausted parts. All of you.

If you’re reading this and something in you is curious, I’d love for you to explore what healing could look like here.

🤎 If you’re a therapist or practitioner:
And you’re longing for a workplace that values humanity, heart-led care, community and clinical excellence… reach out. There’s room here for people who want to do this work differently.

✨ If you’re thinking about therapy, a group, or wellness service:
Book a free discovery call.
No pressure, no scripts, no expectations. Just connection… and someone to talk through what you’re needing on your journey in this season.

🧘 If you’re curious but not ready for therapy:
Come join a yoga or breathwork class this week.
Or join us in December for Anxious Girl Social — the perfect low-stakes way to meet people who get it.

You deserve a place where healing feels possible.
Where you’re met with softness and skill.
Where you get to choose your own way forward.

💛 Welcome to Healing Recovery Centre — the place I dreamed of when I needed it most.

And we’re so glad you’re here 🤎🥰
