Meet Monika Tinneberg, Myofascial Release Therapist & Intuitive Bodyworker 💖

There are people who learn technique…
and then there are those who carry healing in their hands.

For over 30 years, Monika has been the quiet, steady force behind BodyWork for Women (and their Men) - travelling to rural communities, welcoming clients into her home, and offering bodywork that feels less like a treatment and more like a conversation with the deeper parts of you.

Her journey began with instinct - a sensing, a listening, a way of feeling what the body is trying to say beneath tension and protection. Over time, she shaped that instinct into a rare craft, studying with respected teachers around the world while never losing the heart-led intuition that makes her work so distinct.

Monika listens not just with her ears, but with her hands… and with her nervous system. She knows when to soften, when to go deeper, and when to return to places asking for more time - creating sessions that are deeply relaxing, profoundly releasing, and unlike anything most people have ever experienced.

Her training spans Chinese Therapeutic Massage, Myofascial Release Therapy, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, scar and pelvic work, and gentle facial cupping - but her true gift is how she weaves everything together with intuition as her guide.

Whether she’s helping someone move again after injury, easing post-surgical tension, supporting lymphatic flow, or simply offering a space safe enough to soften, Monika helps the body remember its own wisdom.

We are honoured to have her as part of the Flourishing Families community.
Her story, skill, and spirit enrich this space in ways that ripple far beyond the treatment room. ✨

New Moon Circle - A Night to Return to Yourself 🌑💫

Join us in a sacred gathering where kindred spirits come together to honour the rhythms of the moon… and the wisdom that already lives within you.

Under the energy of November’s New Moon - the darkest, quietest phase of the lunar cycle - we are invited to release what has been heavy and plant the seeds of who we are becoming. This New Moon carries the essence of renewal, reflection, and powerful new beginnings. It’s a cosmic pause… a soft exhale… a moment that whispers, “Start again.”

✨ An Evening of Intention & Inner Softening
Together, we’ll set heartfelt intentions and create space for transformation and growth.
Through guided reflection and gentle practices, you’ll learn to soften the resistance of the mind - letting external noise fade so your intuitive heart can rise to the surface.

This is an invitation to step into authenticity, presence, and deep connection… with yourself, with the circle, and with the energy that holds us all.

🕯️ Why the New Moon Matters
The November New Moon asks us to slow down, listen inward, and choose what we want to call into our lives with clarity and courage. It’s a fertile moment for new chapters, emotional recalibration, and reconnecting with our deepest truths. What you plant here grows.

Come as you are.
Leave a little lighter, a little clearer, and a little more connected to your own inner magic. 🌑✨

Circle Details:
🕯️ 90-minute gathering
⏰ 6:30pm–8:00pm

🌿 A Flourishing Families x Collaboration:
Soothing Ni**le Butter

Breastfeeding is tender, powerful, intimate… and sometimes, it’s hard.
In the quiet moments between feeds - when skin feels sensitive, sore, or stretched beyond what you expected - you deserve comfort, protection, and care.

Our Soothing Ni**le Butter was created for exactly those moments.
A gentle companion for the raw, the tender, the healing.
A soft reminder that your well-being matters, too.

✨ Crafted With Intention
Each ingredient was chosen for its ability to soothe, restore, and protect your most delicate postpartum skin:

🐝 Beeswax - Creates a breathable shield that locks in moisture and guards against irritation.
🥥 Virgin Coconut Oil - Antimicrobial, softening, and deeply comforting to stressed skin.
💛 Shea Butter - Rich, hydrating, and nourishing - supporting repair where you need it most.
✨ Vitamin E Oil - Encourages regeneration and eases the healing process.
🫒 Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Gentle, anti-inflammatory relief for nursing discomfort.
🌼 Calendula Flowers - Nature’s soothing healer, calming inflammation and encouraging skin repair.

💜 Why You’ll Love It
This butter is smooth, absorbent, and safe for both mom and baby—no need to wipe off before nursing. With each use, you’re not only softening and protecting delicate skin but also creating a moment of care for yourself in the midst of your breastfeeding journey. By easing discomfort and promoting healing, it supports a more comfortable and empowered postpartum experience.

Just a moment of softness in your day.
A breath.
A pause.
A reminder that nurturing yourself is part of nurturing your baby.

Because your body is doing extraordinary things…
and you deserve care that feels just as extraordinary. 💖

Yesterday, we turned 5 years old! 🎉🎈🎂

Five years ago, Flourishing Families began as a spark - a quiet dream rooted in compassion, connection, and the belief that everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.

Today, that spark has grown into a warm, heart-led community… and we’re honoured to celebrate five beautiful years of holding space for you.

Five years of heart.
Five years of healing.
Five years of community.
Five years of YOU.

We’ve watched families grow, babies enter the world, and parents discover strength they didn’t know they had. We’ve held moments of tenderness that softened nervous systems, conversations that brought people home to themselves, and deep breaths that shifted entire days. Laughter has echoed through our rooms, tears have been held with care, and stories have been shared with honesty and courage.

Through every chapter, our culture has guided the way - kindness, compassion, inclusivity, safety, integrity, and professionalism shaping every welcome and every moment of connection. Collaboration, empowerment, fun, and growth keep this place alive and full of heart.

And woven into it all is our incredible team - the people who bring this space to life every single day. Their dedication, warmth, integrity, and genuine love for this work are the reason Flourishing Families feels the way it does. We wouldn’t be here, five years strong, without them.

These values aren’t just words - they’re lived. They shape our care, our conversations, and the way we hold space. They’re why Flourishing Families feels like home.

Thank you for being part of this story - for trusting us with your wellness, your families, your healing, your babies, your bodies, and your hearts. Your presence and your growth shape who we are.

Here’s to five years that grounded us, the culture that guides us, and many more years of flourishing - together.

With deep gratitude,
The Flourishing Families Team 🌿
Where care, connection, and community come together. 💖

There’s nothing like laying out mats and lining up tiny toys to remind me that babies have way better gear than adults. 😜
 Every week this room transforms from “quiet studio” to “cute chaos zone,” where little humans explore, parents exhale, and everyone finds a moment of connection.

We set it up with intention, love… and a tiny bit of fear that the rubber blocks might overthrow us one day. 😉

🗓️ Join us at our Free Baby and Me Drop-In Group, every Friday morning, from 10am-12pm.
We’d love to host you and your little one and to listen, play and brew you a tea (or coffee) as we share and connect. ✨

We can’t wait to see you and your little one in this sweet, joyful swirl! 🥰

Meet Krista Spence, RMT 💖

If you’ve ever experienced a treatment with Krista, you know her touch carries both skill and soul. Practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2007 and registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, she brings over 17 years of deep, grounded experience to every person who steps into her treatment room.

Her hands intuitively move between soothing relaxation techniques, purposeful therapeutic deep tissue work, and rejuvenating hot stone treatments—always guided by what your body needs in the moment. Krista’s approach is shaped by years in both spa and clinical settings, giving her the ability to create healing experiences that are both comforting and clinically effective.

What truly sets Krista apart is her heart. She has supported clients of all ages—children, teens, adults, and seniors—meeting each person with gentleness, respect, and presence. And on weekends, she brings her care into the community, visiting group homes to provide massage therapy to individuals with physical disabilities. She offers support to those who may have limited access to care, reminding them they are deserving of comfort, connection, and compassion.

Outside her professional world, Krista is a proud mom to two daughters, ages 18 and 13, who bring joy, laughter, and meaning into her days. She shares her home with two beloved dogs who accompany her on her daily walks. When she’s not caring for clients, you’ll likely find her lifting weights at the gym, wandering in nature, or tending to her garden—spaces where she reconnects and refuels her spirit.

Krista is passionate about helping clients feel their best. Her presence is calm, grounded, and nurturing, and her intention is simple yet powerful: to help every person feel safe, supported, and deeply cared for in body, mind, and spirit.

🔎 Serious Research in Progress…

Our team is hard at work - testing toys, perfecting peekaboo, and confirming that baby giggles are scientifically proven to lift your mood. 😏

But underneath the laughter and the play mats lies something even more important - connection. 💖
Because parenthood, beautiful as it is, can sometimes feel a little lonely. And community care - the kind where someone remembers your name, asks how you’re really doing, and makes you coffee/tea while your baby chews on a rattle - is what helps us all thrive.

Our Baby & Me Drop-In isn’t just about babies (though they do steal the show). It’s about creating a relaxed space where parents can exhale, share stories, and be surrounded by others who get it.

Come as you are.
Stay as long as you need.
You belong here.
You’re not meant to do this alone.

✨ Fridays | 10am–12pm | FREE community Drop-In
