Roots in Wellness

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, especially in midlife.

Six months on, everyone seems to have moved on, but you haven’t stopped carrying it. Through work. Through parenting. Through the “I’m fine” you say at the door.

I work with women navigating loss — a parent, a partner, a marriage, a version of yourself you can’t get back. In person, at my office in Ancaster, or virtually across Ontario.

Parenthood is a journey filled with change, growth, and connection, but it can also be a time when finding space for yourself feels challenging. 💚

Join us at Roots in Wellness for Rooted in Connection, a free Parent & Baby Yoga Therapy Group, generously funded by Flora’s Walk Hamilton.

This group offers a welcoming and supportive space for parents to slow down, reconnect with themselves and their babies, and build meaningful connections with others navigating parenthood.

Each 90-minute session combines 30 minutes of gentle yoga with 60 minutes of group therapy, creating space to move your body, share experiences, and feel supported in a community of other parents.

✨ Group Details

📅 When: Mondays, November 16 – December 7

⏰ Time: 9:00–10:30 AM

📍 Location: Roots in Wellness, 911 Golf Links Rd, Suite 200, Ancaster, ON

👶 Who: Parents with babies up to 30 months. Just bring your baby and a yoga mat!

Whether you’re looking for a moment to reconnect with yourself, strengthen your bond with your baby, or find community with other parents, this group is a space for you.

Sometimes our bodies know before our minds do - that we’re running on empty, disconnected, or just moving a little too quickly through our days.

One small way to begin slowing down is through grounding in the present moment.

Try taking a slow, mindful walk around your block.
Notice what catches your eye — the texture of leaves, the sound of birds, the feel of the air.
Let your senses gently guide you back to now.

Each step, each breath, is an act of care — a quiet reminder that you can return to yourself, even in the middle of the chaos.

💛 You deserve moments of calm. Let this be one today.

We all have different ways of processing emotions, navigating challenges, and taking care of our mental health.

Some of us prefer talking things through, while others need time to reflect. Some look for comfort and validation, while others appreciate advice and solutions.

The best part? There’s no right or wrong answer!

Understanding what works for you is an important part of building self-awareness and supporting your mental well-being.

Spend less time on paperwork and more time focusing on your clients!

Managing a private practice comes with plenty of behind-the-scenes responsibilities. To help make things a little easier, we’ve created a collection of CRPO-conscious templates and resources designed for psychotherapists in private practice.

From consent and intake forms to charting templates, privacy policies, and income tax tracking tools, these resources can help you stay organized and simplify your administrative workload.

You can view our collection of resources, including available bundles, through our website!

Looking for some additional supervision, but unsure if you need full sessions?

Chat supervision is on-demand, as-needed, and not time constrained. And, it still counts towards your CRPO hours.

Grief doesn’t always look like crying.

Sometimes it’s feeling tired all the time.
Getting irritated over things that normally wouldn’t bother you.
Wanting to be alone.
Feeling numb.
Or just feeling like you’re not quite yourself.

And then there are those moments when you laugh, have a good day, or enjoy yourself and somehow feel guilty for it.

But that’s grief too.

If you’re grieving, give yourself some grace. You don’t have to rush through it. You don’t have to “get over it.”

And if you’re finding it hard to carry on your own, therapy can be a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
