The Quiet Season Starts Now

08/25 — Your Guide to Toronto Wellness This Week

Hey there! 💜

The past few weeks have been a blur in the best kind of way. Between hosting events, getting ready to move, juggling a full 9-5, and somehow still having the energy to dream up new things for this community… I’ve been exhausted but so full. Like the kind of tired that feels satisfying because it’s aligned. You know?

Hosting these gatherings has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Watching this little corner of the internet turn into something real — into people connecting, sharing, moving, healing — it’s honestly changed me. I’m so proud of what we’re building here. And I just want to say thank you. For showing up, for trusting me, for reminding me why this work matters.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much energy we unlock in ourselves when we’re doing what we love. How much we’re actually capable of when it’s coming from the right place. And also — quick reminder — it’s never too late. You’re not behind.

You’re happening to life, not the other way around

(yes, I shamelessly stole that from a podcast but it hit, ok??).

Also — soft little announcement for my OGs here:

I’m hosting an intimate pilates gathering on September 13th, and you’re getting first access.

Presale is open just for you for the next 24 hours before it goes live tomorrow — it’s super intimate (12 people only because I want to get to know YOU better!)

Would love to see you there and move together before the season shifts. You know where to find me.
