Better Balance Wellness

10/31/2026

What a way to wrap up our anniversary month! 🧡🎉

A full house, beautiful energy, happy tears (mostly mine!), and so much gratitude!

After a month celebrating 15 years of Massage Therapy and two years of Better Balance Wellness, today was all about yoga, laughter, and community!

Our final anniversary class featured Halloween-inspired music, movement, and plenty of laughs! I had every intention of taking more photos and videos, but decided to let everyone simply enjoy the moment. Imagine that — a celebration without phones in everyone's faces! 😂

Throughout October, we welcomed yoga students, Massage Therapy clients, familiar faces, curious visitors, and new friends!

Better Balance has meant so many things to me over the years — progress over perfection, something vs. nothing, choosing quality time over quantity, and so much more.

But what Better Balance Wellness means to me today is something I couldn't have imagined when we opened our yoga studio doors two years ago.

It's the community we've created together. The kindness, connections, encouragement, friendships, and genuine care for one another. And honestly, when I look around the studio and see what we've built together, it brings me to tears. 🙏

A special shoutout to Ashley, who taught today's amazing class and is pictured here with me. You've been an absolute gem from the beginning. Your friendship, encouragement, and support have given me so much strength along the way. I'm incredibly grateful to have you by my side!

And Julie, one of my rockstars — always covering classes, holding down the fort, and being a dear friend. Thank you so much!

To Harsha, Jacob, Geris, and Janet — thank you for sharing your gifts, offering your support, and helping our yoga community grow!

To our wonderful RMTs, Tanja and Simon — thank you for the care, integrity, and dedication you bring to our community! 🧡

To my husband — I couldn't have done this without you. Thank you for everything you do, and for continuing to tackle that never-ending to-do list with me! And yes, there's still more to do! 😂😘

To my dad and his team, who transformed the old Go Green Baby into the beautiful space we enjoy today — I'll always be grateful. So many people get to enjoy this space because of your hard work! ❤️

And to the many wonderful people behind the scenes who have supported me along the way — Lauren and Karryann, to name just a couple! There are far too many to mention, but please know how much you mean to me. None of this happens alone. 💗

To everyone who's walked through our doors, shared their practice, offered encouragement, or simply stopped by to say hello — thank you. You are the heart of Better Balance Wellness!

🎉 WE HAVE A WINNER! 🎁

What if feeling better than you do today is more possible than you think?

Sometimes wellness isn't about doing more. It's about noticing more.

A walk with your dog, sunshine on your face, a moment to simply be. ❤️

What if a little curiosity could open the door to moving more freely, feeling stronger, finding greater calm, and truly thriving in your body and mind?

For over 15 years, Better Balance has had the privilege of helping people navigate injuries, persistent pain, stress, physical limitations, and the many challenges that affect our everyday well-being.

Through massage therapy and our growing team of dedicated practitioners, we've continued to expand our care to include specialized services such as medical acupuncture, manual lymphatic drainage, and more.

Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to listening, understanding, educating, and helping people discover what works for them.

Over the years, Better Balance has continued to grow and evolve. Now, we're celebrating 2 years of our beautiful yoga and wellness studio, with even more opportunities for learning, connection, and online wellness experiences on the horizon!

And we're just getting started! ❤️

✨ Curious? Come be part of the buzz!

📅 Save the date — Saturday, October 24!

Join us for our Anniversary Celebration & Open House.

Or stop in for a yoga class anytime this month, explore our space, or send us a message. We'd love to connect with you!

💬 Now, we'd love to hear from YOU!

Alana personally curates the entire experience — with a unique theme every time. ✨

A thoughtfully curated mix of music becomes the backdrop of our sound bath journey as you’re gently bathed in crystal and metal singing bowls, rain stick, chimes, storytelling, subtle chakra work, and optional aromatherapy softly infused into the space — all woven together with intention and care.

Throughout the experience, mini massage is gently woven in, supporting deeper release as you settle into a deeply meditative sound journey designed to calm the nervous system and guide you inward.

More than a class, it’s a journey toward yourself. 💫

Reserve your spot and come experience it for yourself.

❄️✨ In the middle of a Canadian winter, having something beautiful to look forward to can be incredibly uplifting. ✨🌴

I wanted to share this lovely yoga retreat in Sayulita, Mexico, hosted by my friend and colleague Lauren Rudick.

There’s something powerful about putting a warm, nourishing experience on the calendar—sunshine, movement, community, rest—especially when the days feel long and cold. Even thinking about it can lift the spirit.

And if this isn’t the right season for you to travel, but you know a friend who could really use some cheering up, a reset, or something meaningful to look forward to—this is one I genuinely and highly recommend!

I’ve been to Sayulita, and it’s such a special place. The retreat is thoughtfully curated and offered at a very reasonable price for what’s included.

A little about Lauren… 💫
Named “All Star” and accompanied by a full page spread by Women’s Health Magazine and a “Bravery driven badass” by Notable, Lauren Rudick is an outspoken but exuberant light in the world. She has traveled alone to over 50 countries, teaching yoga across 4-continents and sharing her journey through photos and pros along the way. Lauren is an internationally celebrated yoga teacher, photographer and story teller originally from Montreal, Canada. In 2016, she founded Yoga Academy International, a school that has quickly grown to become one of the most widely recognized yoga schools worldwide, known for incredible trainings abroad and the highest standard of education in yoga.

Sharing with love and support for a beautiful offering!! 🤩 💛
