Have you ever completely lost it over something tiny?

A spilled drink.
A sock on the floor.
A text that came a little later than you expected.

And afterwards you think...why did I react like that? It was nothing.

I notice this in myself too. If we leave the house just two minutes later than usual...suddenly it can feel like the whole day is “ruined.” Like we’re already behind.

When really? It’s two minutes. We’ll still get where we need to go. And we’ll still be on time.

Here’s something that helps me make sense of those moments...

Your nervous system has a capacity. A little like a cup. Every stressor adds a bit of water. Work. Poor sleep. Little ones who need you. A body that’s been sore for months.

One thing on its own might be fine. But when the cup is already full, even a few drops can make it spill.

So when that tiny thing tips you over, it isn’t really about the tiny thing. It’s about everything that was already in the cup.

That’s not overreacting. That’s being human, and carrying a lot. And the good news is you don’t have to wait until it spills. You can start noticing your early signs...and gently make a little more room.

Save this for the next time a small thing feels really big 🤍

Three years ago today, I started Nurturing Roots 🤍

What started as just me has grown into a small team of wonderful, amazing humans...working alongside each other and doing what we love.

Our services have grown too, so we can better support the whole person. Mind, body and soul. And we’ve slowly been adding in retreats, which has brought me so much joy.

If you’d told me then what it would look like now...I’m not sure I would have believed you.

Three years of big ideas and little pivots. Three years of figuring it out as I go. Three years of building something I care so deeply about, alongside being a mom, a partner and a human.

And when I think about what I’m most grateful for, it always comes back to the people.

The practitioners who said yes to this little vision and made it so much more than I could have on my own.

The people who’ve walked through our doors and let us be part of their healing. And everyone who’s followed along here, shared a post, or sent a kind message on a hard day.

And year three...it’s taught me so much. It’s taught me that I can slow down, and everything will be okay. It’s taught me to trust the process. It’s taught me how to prioritize myself while building something I love, and being a mom and a wife.

Year three has been one of so much growth...in some of the smallest ways.

So thank you. Truly.

Here’s to year four and to growing slowly, gently, and together 🤍

Have you noticed where you carry your stress?

For a lot of us, it’s our shoulders. They creep up towards our ears during a busy day. Our jaw tightens. Our neck gets stiff.

And by the end of the week, it can feel like our body is holding on to everything we didn’t have time to deal with.

That’s not your body being difficult. It’s your body responding to stress...bracing, protecting, getting ready for the next thing.

And sometimes it forgets how to let go. This is something George sees a lot in the treatment room. As he put it...

“This time of year, I’m noticing a lot of tired bodies...and bodies holding a lot of tension in the upper body. Especially the upper back, shoulders and neck.”

An osteopathy visit with George is gentle and unhurried. He takes time to listen first, to what’s happening in your body and in your life. Then he uses hands-on treatment to help ease tension, improve movement and help your body find a little more ease.

I’ve always said George has a way of helping people feel like they can finally exhale.

No referral needed. And osteopathy is covered by many extended health benefit plans.

If your shoulders have been up by your ears for a while now...maybe it’s time to let someone help them come back down 🤍

This is one of the hills I’ll die on as a therapist.

You don’t have to be falling apart to get support.

After having my little one, things were hard. I had emotional support, and I’m so grateful for that. But my body was in a really rough place. My hips were sore. My back. All the things. And I waited. I made sure my kiddo got the support she needed first...and it wasn’t until about eight months later that I finally decided it was time to take care of myself. Eight months of being sore and in pain, telling myself it wasn’t that bad.

So when I say this is a hill I’ll die on...I mean it. I’ve lived it too.

I hear some version of this so often...

It’s not that bad.
Other people have it worse.
I should be able to handle this on my own.

And so we wait.

Until we can’t sleep.
Until our body starts talking a little louder.
Until we can’t remember the last time we felt like ourselves.

But support isn’t only for the hardest days. It can help when you’re just a little off.

When you’re tired in a way rest doesn’t fix. When you’re coping...but only just. Reaching out sooner doesn’t mean you’re being dramatic. It means you’re listening to yourself a little earlier.

I wrote more about this in this month’s blog, including what support can look like when nothing feels “wrong enough.” It’s linked in our bio.

And if this one feels a little close to home...you don’t have to wait until it’s bad enough.

Wherever you are right now is a good enough place to start 🤍

Rest you don’t have to explain.

A few Sundays ago, I had a long list of things that needed doing.

The leaves.
Cleaning the house.
Laundry.
Meal prep.

And instead of pushing through it all...I listened to my body. I spent a lot of the day reading. I had a bath. I watched football with my family.

I think so many of us feel like rest needs a reason.
I’m sick.
I had a really hard week.
I finished everything on my list.

As if we need a very good excuse before we’re allowed to slow down. But rest doesn’t have to be earned. And it doesn’t have to be explained.

Your body doesn’t wait until everything is done to need a pause. It needs it in the middle of ordinary days too. The busy ones. The good ones. The ones where nothing is technically wrong.

Sometimes rest looks like a nap.
Sometimes it’s sitting in the car for five extra minutes before you go inside.
Sometimes it’s going for a walk, or gently moving your body.
Sometimes it’s choosing a book and a bath over the laundry pile.

You don’t have to be exhausted to deserve it. You don’t have to justify it to anyone. You can simply notice that you need it...and let that be enough.

What would rest look like for you this week? 🤍

You may have already met Zoe on here...But I wanted you to get to know her a little more. Not just as a therapist, but as a human.

So I asked her a few questions this week 🤍

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her with her family, curled up with a good book, or watching stand-up comedy.

Because, in her words, laughter is such a powerful way to connect. (I couldn’t agree more 😂)

When I first met Zoe, there was this calm and ease about her. We just sat and talked...about things we both love, about our lives. And honestly, it felt like I’d known her for years, not like we were meeting for the first time.

Zoe has always believed in the value and power of human relationships. And I think that’s what I love most about her answers. It’s not really about techniques or credentials. It’s about connection.

When I asked what she hopes people feel when they leave a session with her, she said...

Heard.
Understood.
And maybe even a little lighter.

Like they didn’t have to navigate things alone. That’s really what we hope for here too.

Zoe is a Registered Social Worker who supports children, teens and adults through anxiety, overwhelm and life transitions. She’s here Mondays, Tuesday evenings, Thursdays and Fridays. No referral is needed, and therapy is covered by many benefit plans.

And if you’re not sure whether she’s the right fit, that’s okay. A discovery call is just a conversation 🤍

Have you ever felt anxious...and had no idea why?

Nothing is really wrong. The day is fine. And yet your chest is tight, your shoulders are up by your ears, and you just can’t settle. Honestly...so many of us feel this.

Sometimes our bodies brace in the middle of the things we love most. On a hike. Spending time with family. Moments that are supposed to feel easy.

And we have to gently remind ourselves... Let your jaw go. Breathe. You’re safe.

We’re all still learning that we’re allowed to have moments of calm. And that it’s okay to let ourselves feel them.

But so often, we meet that bracing the same way.

What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just relax? I should be fine.

But here’s something we wish more people knew...

Your nervous system is always quietly asking one question. Am I safe right now?

It’s scanning the room, the people around you and what’s happening inside your body. Mostly without you even noticing.

And sometimes it picks up on things that remind it of a harder time. Or it’s simply used to being on guard, even when life is good. Your body responds first. Your thinking brain catches up later.

So that feeling isn’t you being dramatic or too sensitive. It’s your body doing its job...trying to keep you safe.

That doesn’t mean you just have to live with it. But it might mean you can meet it with a little more curiosity, and a little less judgment.

Instead of what’s wrong with me...maybe try, what might my body be noticing right now?

And sometimes, gently letting it know...I’m safe enough to soften here.

Save this one for the next time it happens 🤍

10/15/2026

I think we give ourselves a lot of rules without even realizing it.

I should be productive. I should be enjoying this. I should be handling this better. I should finish what I started. I should know what I need.

For me, it’s that first one.
I love creating and planning and dreaming up what’s next. But I’m still learning when to pause. When to slow down. That I don’t need to be doing something all of the time.

I can sit and read a book...and that is enough.

And sometimes I think we all need a little less “should” and a little more permission.

Permission to have an off day.
Permission to enjoy something just because you enjoy it.
Permission to be having a hard time with something hard.
Permission to leave something unfinished.
Permission to not know yet.

None of those things mean you’re falling behind.

So consider this your little permission slip 🤍

Which one do you need today?

A little life lately 🤍

The ordinary moments, the things we’ve been doing, the bits of life in between everything else.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to move through our days without really noticing them. We’re often thinking about what’s next, what needs to get done, who needs us, or what we haven’t quite managed to fit in.

And sometimes, the things that make a day feel good are the smallest things. A laugh, a slower morning, a moment outside, or feeling like you can finally exhale.
I’m trying to make a little more room for those moments, too.

So here’s a little glimpse of life lately. Nothing particularly extraordinary. Just life, as it is 🤍

10/09/2026

I’m so happy to finally introduce you to Zoe, who is joining us our Nurturing Roots Wellness family 🤍

As we’ve grown, one of the things that has mattered most to me is bringing people onto the team who not only have the experience and knowledge to support our clients well, but who also genuinely align with the kind of space I want Nurturing Roots to be.

Zoe is warm, thoughtful, down-to-earth, and someone I’m really excited to have alongside us.

✨ Meet Zoe ✨

I’m passionate about creating a space where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. As a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree, my approach is strengths-based, client-centred, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you navigate what’s feeling difficult or uncertain.

I support individuals and families navigating mental health, emotional, and behavioural challenges across different ages and stages of life. I also have specialized training in counselling donor-conceived individuals and a particular interest in supporting individuals and families navigating donor conception and assisted reproduction.

I believe therapy can hold space for difficult conversations while still leaving room for connection, humour, and lightness. Most importantly, I want you to feel like you can bring your whole self into the room.

Outside of the office, you might find me at a concert or comedy show, spending time with my husband and our fur baby, or enjoying a day by the water.

We’re so happy to have you here, Zoe. 🌿🤍
