A Shelter Within

Why not dedicate the new year to simply loving yourself more?

Loving yourself is often about learning to show up for yourself
the way you would for someone you cherish.
It’s noticing your needs
before exhaustion does,
listening to your own voice
amidst the noise,
and giving yourself permission
to take up space in your own life.

It means forgiving the versions of you
that didn’t know better,
and resisting the urge to punish yourself
for surviving the only way you could at the time.

Sometimes loving yourself looks like courage;
other times it looks like rest.
Often it looks like boundaries
that feel lonely at first,
because you are choosing your well-being over approval.

Loving yourself is not about believing you are perfect.
It’s about believing you are allowed to be imperfect
and still deserving of gentleness.
It’s the slow trust
that you can be honest with yourself
and still remain whole

Over time, that trust becomes
a shelter you carry within,
a space where you can safely grow,
release what no longer serves you,
and begin again,
without ever abandoning who you truly are.

Remain Grounded

When life meets us with challenges,
try to remain grounded,
like a tree with deep roots, anchored in the quiet truth of who you are.

Let the world shake if it must,
but feel your roots in the earth,
the steady pulse beneath the noise
as your branches reach toward the sky,
strong flexible and determined.

Grounding doesn’t mean you’re untouched by fear or everyday concerns;
it means you let them pass through you without allowing them to consume you.

Remember to breathe and remain present.
In doing so, you give yourself a place to stand while the storm moves around you
and from that place,
even as the branches sway,
the smallest step forward becomes possible.

Still going strong ✨

✨I’ve been thinking about this sale for a bit now. Last year I did a 47% off sale as I turned 47. This year I have been contemplating how I wanted to give back. I’ve also been thinking of my mom a lot and how I want to honour her life during this holiday season.

✨ It’s my birthday soon and it’s the holiday season as well. Both can come with many mixed emotions, especially when we miss our loved ones.

✨I’ve also been thinking about my purpose and how I wish everyone has the opportunity to experience the health in their own body. I wish for everyone to have hope, to come to know the brilliance of their own body. To know you are not broken.

✨So, what better way to honour my mom, my purpose, the wisdom in our bodies and to help this beautiful modality be accessible to more people, then to offer a really good deal!

✨For the month of December, you can pay what you can for a session. Sessions can be booked anytime, now or future however the sessions need to be purchased now this month! You can purchase for yourself or make it a gift for a loved one. Sale is on for the month of December, well because life is expensive these days!

✨Now, even if you are not interested in a session for yourself, I would be forever grateful if you would share this with a loved one or even share on social media.

DM to connect.

16 months.

Of missing you.
Of learning to live without you.
Of learning a new way to live this life.
Of allowing grief to crack me open.
Of allowing the light to pe*****te the dark places within.

Grief doesn’t really gets easier, I think we just learn to live with it. It becomes our silent companion, always with us.

First, there is the initial shock of it all, then all the firsts happen that first year, but then life starts to feel ordinary again, maybe even more normal, expect it’s not.

Reality sets in.

The reality that you’re gone and I’ll never hear your voice again. I’ll never be able to call and tell you about Ella or Kenzie or how you inspire me to live my life now.

I know we will always be connected and that I get to build a new relationship with you now but sometimes…..Sometimes when the grief feels too heavy, when it comes out of no where, I wish we could have had one more moment together.

One more moment.

Sit with it.

Sit with it.

Sit with it.

Even though you want to run.

Even though you want to hide.

Even though you want to avoid it all.

Even though you think it will break you.

Even though it feels like too much.

Even though it feels too heavy to bear.

Even when it brings you to your knees.

Even though you’re not sure of the way forward or if you’ll make it through.

Healing happens by feeling.

Healing happens when we sit with it.

Sit with it.

Sit with it.

Sit. With. It.

Hello!

I thought I’d say a little hello so all of you could meet the face to the name!

I don’t love doing these videos and haven’t done one in well over ten years but lately I’ve been thinking about my purpose and how I can make it easier for people to find me.

My intention is to show up more in this space. I’ve got lots of writings to share and a birthday sale coming soon!

Stay tuned and as always DM or email to connect.

Hi there!

My name is Holly!

For those of you that are new here, I thought I’d share a bit about me.

I am a mom, a partner, a Reiki Master, a nature lover, and a Maritimer at heart.

I love being outdoors in nature and have recently rediscovered a love of strength training.

I am a space holder, an advocate, a registered social worker and a certified biodynamic craniosacral therapist.

Basically, I am a human just trying to figure this life out, just like everyone else.

I live in Wetaskiwin with my little family and run a home based business offering biodynamic craniosacral therapy sessions. I offer in person one on one healing sessions.

For the past 18 years, I have held space in many different capacities for individuals of all walks of life and I consider it a privilege and an honour to be of service to others.

I would love to know something about you!
