Cheers to another successful year of my little home practice 🏡 ✨🫶🏻

2025, you were something else. Challenging, rewarding, and inspiring. An 8 month home renovation and toddlerhood made working out of our little cottage tricky at times, but we made it through. Celebrating Christmas in our brand new stunning room was heavenly and still very surreal.

I have nothing but gratitude for my partner Clinton, son Jasper, and parents (who are the heart, soul, and sweat behind our home projects), as well as each and every one of my incredible clients— you are all gems and I cannot thankyou enough for your support 🩵🙏🏼✨

Merry Christmas and a glorious New Year to everyone !!

New Treatment Announcement 📣

Beginning January 1, 2026, I’m excited to introduce a new service:

60-Minute Head, Neck & Shoulder Relaxation Massage — $90

This treatment is designed to gently melt away stress and release the deep-seated tension that often accumulates in the neck, shoulders, jawline, face, scalp, and—when needed—the arms and chest.

This region is one of my absolute favourites to treat. Even if you don’t realize how much you’re holding, a focused head, neck, and shoulder session can create profound relaxation for both body and mind. ✨

In gratitude,
Kate 🌿

Announcement 📣

As most of you know, I have been steadily increasing my business hours for the past couple of years. My practice has grown fabulously thanks to all of you.🙏🏼 With this growth, I am now officially required to register for HST.

Rather than adding HST on top of my current treatment fees (which would increase rates by anywhere from $10–$25 depending on the treatment), I’ve chosen to implement a flat $10 increase per treatment, regardless of the length or type of service. Times are tough, and I want this adjustment to remain as reasonable and predictable as possible for everyone.

This price increase is set to begin on January 1, 2026.

Your loyalty means everything, and I’m grateful for every single one of you. ✨🙏🏼

Chill, but efficient. That’s my jive. ✨

A couple notes:

•I will be closed from December 19, 2025 until January 6th, 2026.
•There will be a small fee increase beginning in the new year (separate post to follow with details)
•I am still no longer accepting new clients who are only available evenings and weekends (so sorry about this to any full time workers).
•My January and February books are open!

Thanks friends!

What a blessing it is to call this place both my home, and my workplace. ✨🙏🏼

Now that beach season has come to a close, it might be a good time to consider trying Cupping Therapy. Cupping uses suction at varying levels of intensity to relieve fascial restriction, improve circulation, increase range of motion and accelerate tissue recovery (to name a few benefits).

It’s also a nice option for those of us who prefer deeper pressure massages (deep tissue), as cupping can reach the deepest layers of our tissues, and remain on those areas for a maximum of 30 minutes. I am always sure to start very slowly and work up to more cups and greater suction as tolerance increases.

I like to use cupping in combination with Swedish massage in order to multitask and treat numerous areas at once— the cups work while I work and it’s an efficient use of time and energy. 👍🏻🙂

The image shown is an example of someone experiencing moderately high suction, with large size cups along the erector spinae muscle group, showing a normal level of stagnation. [my personal opinion]

Schedule update for anyone who missed the emails— I am “off” the next two weeks as our daycare is closed, then I will be back the first two weeks of August, closed again the last two weeks. If you need in during the next two weeks please text me at 519-330-3455 as this is my most reliable form of communication and I will try my best to accommodate!!

Thank you immensely for your continued support and understanding, and I hope everyone is having a fantastic start to summer !!! 🏖️🏕️🌞

September books are also open.

S U N D A Y 🌞

A day of rest, of moving slowly, a day for family, or self-care. A day to prepare for your week ahead, and to reflect on the week past.

After a long cold winter (one which was particularly difficult for many of us), I like to check in at the end of the week (or beginning depending on your viewpoint). Some questions I have used on repeat are:

🌿How were my emotions this week?
🌿How was my relationship?
🌿Did I follow through with my self-care?
🌿What stage of the cycle am I in? (VERY important for managing self care, boundaries, workload, extracurriculars, etc)
🌿What am I grateful for? (I write these down any time I begin to fall into a “bleh” mood… gratitude is magic✨)
🌿Did I waste too much time on negativity? On comparing myself to others? On the news? On TV?
🌿How was I productive?
🌿How did I treat my body? My mind?
🌿How can I improve next week?

Basically I write down how I felt the past week and then look at the reasons why it was either awesome, or brutal, then I make a simple, no-pressure plan to improve moving forward. Write down all the good things you did for yourself, your family, your partner, your work, check them off the list even days after you did them. Give yourself some credit, times are tough and you deserve all the dopamine you can get.

I’m telling ya, it’s working. ✨🙏🏼

The most precarious set of stairs around (IYKYK), but we got to work this morning — heart was racing, blood pumping, body moving, breathless and beaming!

Hallelujah spring 🫶🏻🙌🏼🌿✨🙏🏼👏🏻

Pssssst — Hey beautiful, ya, you 😉

I just want to tell you that it’s okay for you to slow down. As you consider signing your kids up for 765473 activities and events this summer, or you try to rapidly fill your planner with all the things the warm season has to offer, remember that you might just want to sit still here and there. 🤍🌿
