Some tips for holiday stress!

Lots of people are starting to feel stressed this holiday season. To relieve stress during the holidays you can stick to your daily routine, try not to overextend yourself, carve out time for self-care, and make time for yourself by booking a massage.

Petition for HST exemption for massage therapy.
See link to sign.

An RMT in British Columbia recently created a new federal petition to gather further support for HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

This petition is sponsored by MP Brad Vis, who has previously championed similar exemption petitions directed towards the previous federal government.

A related petition, recently presented in the House of Commons by Newfoundland MP Jonathan Rowe, has already mandated a government response. Every new petition presented with maximum signatures further amplifies our collective voice and compels the government to act on this crucial issue.

We strongly encourage all RMTs, massage therapy students, and members of the public to sign this petition before it expires on December 25, 2025: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6753

Take care of your back & book your massage!

It's getting snowier out, which could end up as a pain in the back when it comes time to clean your driveway. ❄️ Back pain is a fairly common snow shoveling injury. Massage therapy is a great option to help relieve your back pain.

It's starting to get colder out and soon the conditions outside will get more treacherous. You can prevent falls by walking like a penguin on snow and ice.

Meditation with Eckhart Tolle tonight! 🧘‍♀️🧘
See link to sign up.

As the holiday season gathers momentum, many of us feel the familiar pull of busyness—full schedules, full hearts, and sometimes full minds.

Tomorrow, on December 9th, 2025, at 8 pm ET | 5 pm PT, Eckhart Tolle invites you to step into something different:
✨ A Silent Night — a free, live global meditation and teaching.

This evening is an opportunity to gently pause and reconnect with the deeper Presence that remains steady beneath all of life’s activity. Together, with a worldwide community, we’ll rest in stillness and open to the peace that arises from within.

✨ Reserve your spot here, or through the link in the bio: https://bit.ly/a-Silent-Night

Kidney/Bladder Meridian Stretch:
"TCM links the kidneys and bladder to the Water element and the season of winter. Just like nature slows down in winter, your body benefits from rest and deep nourishment. This connection reminds us that taking care of these organs means conserving energy, staying warm, and embracing stillness when needed."...johannasacupuncture.com
