Aruma

Aruma Mental + Emotional Wellness Services available in person in Lanark County + virtually across Ontario. Stay Tuned!

Aruma is a Mental & Emotional Health Collective, offering support to individuals, families, couples, and groups either in person or virtually, through a compassionate team of accredited counsellors, psychotherapists, and coaches. Our belief is that our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being is as equally important as our physical health, and it is our responsibility to tend to it. You can find us in the beautiful town of Perth, ON, and if we are a little too far out of reach for you, we offer all of our services virtually as well. Aruma will begin to offer workshops and events again in the near future.

As this year comes to a close, we want to pause — not to summarize, not to sell, not to wrap things up neatly — but to offer our deepest gratitude.

To our 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔:

Thank you for your bravery. For the courage it takes to show up when things feel heavy, uncertain, or unfinished. Thank you for trusting us with your stories, your questions, and your healing. It is a privilege to witness the steady, often unseen work you do — and an honour to walk alongside you.

To the 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 we are invited into:

Thank you for welcoming us, challenging us, and extending your trust. The work we do in schools, libraries, organizations, and shared spaces continues to shape us just as much as we hope it supports others. This work matters. It creates ripples. It contributes to generational change.

To our 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 & 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔:

Thank you for placing your confidence in Aruma to support your clients and teams with care, integrity, and respect. We hold that trust with intention and responsibility, and we are grateful to be part of your broader support systems.

To our 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎:

There are no adequate words — but we will try.

You show up with compassion, skill, and thoughtfulness. You hold space with steadiness and humility. You do the quiet, often invisible work of healing with intention and care. You support one another. You reflect, stretch, learn, and grow. What you offer each day is meaningful, and it matters more than you may realize. This work is possible because of you.

Being acknowledged this year — through nominations and recognition — has been deeply humbling. Not because of accolades, but because it reflects the collective ethics, care, and commitment that guide this work.

As we move into a new year, we carry immense gratitude for what has been built together — and for what continues to unfold.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for trusting the process.
Thank you for being part of this work.

With care,

Aruma

You don’t need to turn this season into a lesson, a boundary bootcamp, or a healing assignment.

Sometimes the kindest thing you can offer yourself is simple:

Rest when you can.
Take support if it helps.
Make space where you need it.

There’s a lot of pressure this time of year — to feel a certain way or keep up with expectations.

It’s okay if your capacity looks different right now.

We’re here through the holidays if you need steady care, nothing more.

To see this room “empty” — with tools that were ordered months ago finally resting where they belong — makes our hearts tear up.

Since we took over our unit a month ago (4 offices + somatic studio), this space has been everything but a somatic studio.

It’s been our IKEA-assembly zone. Our take-out-and-schedule-planning corner. Our ordering room. Our storage room. Our “have a cry and debrief after a long day” room. It’s held ideas, worries, hopes, and late-night conversations.

And now?
It’s slowly beginning to look like home.

We were… particular (okay, very particular) about the mats.

They had to be this exact colour, which meant pre-ordering them months in advance and crossing our fingers they would arrive on time. Then crossing our fingers again that they’d blend with the blocks, blankets, and bolsters that arrived early. (They do — Thank GAWD 😅)

If you’ve been with us since the early days, you’ll remember Aruma 1.0 — our original wellness center with our sweet yoga studio that held 12 mats comfortably.

We hosted weekly yoga classes, nervous-system workshops, women’s circles, sound ceremonies, somatic groups, grief and grounding sessions, and so many community gatherings in that container.

And here’s the part that makes our hearts flip:

✨We’re bringing that spirit back…

A dedicated somatic studio. Movement sessions. Workshops. Restorative practices. Coming early 2026 — in a space aligned with who we’ve grown to be. They will be intimate (8 spots only), intentional, and of course informative.

This is your sneak peek.

We can’t wait to fill this room with breath, movement, regulation, and community again.

Stay tuned ❣️❣️❣️

We’re honoured to share that Aruma has been nominated for a Canadian Choice Award!

To the anonymous human(s) who nominated Aruma: thank you. Your quiet gesture of support truly means the world to us.

Our team pours so much care into the work we do in our local communities, and recognition like this reminds us why we show up the way we do.

More updates to come as the process unfolds — and love to all the incredible Canadian businesses being recognized this year.

As the holidays creep closer, a lot can start to bubble up.
Stress. Guilt. Grief. Overwhelm. Joy. Loneliness.
Sometimes all in the same day — or the same hour.

There’s pressure to show up, keep it together, be grateful, feel festive… even when your body might be running on empty.

For some, this season brings connection and warmth.

For others, it brings reminders of what’s missing — people, places, or versions of yourself you thought would still be here.

If that’s you, you’re not broken. You’re human.

Your nervous system is responding exactly how it’s designed to when there’s too much, too fast, too soon — when the expectations, the noise, the decisions, and the “shoulds” start stacking up faster than your body can process them.

It might look like shutting down, snapping quicker than usual, over-functioning, or feeling numb.

None of it means you’re doing it wrong — it’s your body trying to protect you from overload.

At Aruma, we talk a lot about presence over performance.
You don’t need to earn your rest or your joy.
You don’t need to fake being/feeling “okay.”

This season might be an invitation — to notice what’s no longer working, to explore new ways of relating, or to find steadier ground for yourself, your family, or your child(ren).

Support can be the thing that starts to shift old patterns, soften the pressure, and make room for something different.

Our team is here to help you explore what that could look like — together.

A gentle year-end reminder…

As we move toward the end of the year, it’s a great time to check in on your extended health benefits.

Many plans reset in January — which means any unused coverage for psychotherapy, social work, or wellness funds may not roll over.

If you’ve been meaning to book a session, reconnect with your therapist, or explore new support options — this is your sign.

Aruma’s team includes registered psychotherapists, social workers, and somatic-based practitioners — all services commonly covered under many benefit plans.

Reach out to your insurance provider to see what you’re entitled to through your plan, and book before the year ends if you’d like to make use of your coverage.
