Anam Cara Spa

“Human beings are spending week after week without being touched by another human being, and we have become so accustomed to this
reality that we rarely stop to consider how biologically absurd it is.”

For almost all of human history, people lived in close-knit communities. Families slept near one another, worked together, carried children, embraced in grief, celebrated together, cared for the sick, and experienced regular physical contact.

Touch wasn’t considered a therapy, it was simply part of being human.

Our nervous systems evolved in that
environment.

Healthy, consensual touch can influence stress hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, oxytocin release, and feelings of safety and connection.
Infants literally fail to thrive without sufficient nurturing touch.

Adults don’t stop needing it just because we grow up.

Mom. ❤️💔

Mom, your absence leaves a profound void in our lives, a poignant reminder that life’s journey can suddenly take unexpected turns, and now we’ll cherish the memories of your love and presence for many years to come. The gentle echo of your voice resonates deeply within me, a soothing melody that guides me through life’s ups and downs. Though the passing of time may soften the clarity of your voice in my heart, the boundless love you selflessly gave to each of us will remain an enduring legacy, a testament to the profound impact you’ve had on our lives. Your generosity knew no bounds, your kindness touched countless lives, and your unwavering moral compass inspired us all to follow in your footsteps. I’ll deeply miss our warm, lengthy hugs, the tender way you said ‘I love you’ with eyes that shone like stars, the cups of coffee we shared over life’s lessons, and above all, your celestial presence that brightened every day. You embodied the essence of an angel, a soul so beautiful and radiant that it illuminates the path for all who knew you. Thank you for being an extraordinary human being, a beacon of hope and love; may I aspire to emulate your gracious spirit.

Now officially working Stonewater Spa in the Beachclub Resort in Parksville! My new found spa home! Finally found a business to work for that reflects my values and has the clients best interests at ❤️ heart! 💕💕💕

As a mother I’ve always felt an innate desire to nurture and guide yet have failed at times. As a daughter I’ve strived to make my family proud and haven’t always succeeded. And as a partner I’ve yearned to be a rock for my loved one but have also needed a rock - but as a Nana, I’m filled with hope and to inspire my grandchildren to reach for the stars and unlock their full potential, and in doing so, I’ll become the best version of myself.

You know, being a woman in today’s world comes with its unique set of challenges and responsibilities. Societal pressures and expectations can be overwhelming at times, but I believe it’s essential to remember that we’re all human beings who deserve compassion, understanding, and grace as we navigate life’s journey. So this Mother’s Day, I invite you to practice self-love and self-care, take a moment to nurture your inner child, celebrate your strengths, and forgive yourself for any perceived shortcomings. Remember to extend kindness and understanding to yourself, just as you would to a dear friend. 🙏🏻🥰💕

Thank you Bonny Belanger for the five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review! A truly beautiful treatment! We agree!!

I visited Stonewater Spa for the 90-minute facial package (OxyGeneo, RF, ESA, and Ultrasound); the results were immediate and impressive.

My skin had a significant glow following the facial, and my fine lines were considerably diminished. The OxyGeneo treatment was a unique sensation—it felt like a “mini pressure washer” for my face in the best way possible.

My aesthetician, Shannon, was very professional - with a gentle, calming energy that is perfect for a spa environment. I was happy with the products she applied; they had a natural scent, not synthetic. I was also impressed by the Laboratoire Dr Renaud products she recommended after the treatment. As someone who checks ingredients, I was happy to find they rate very clean on the EWG Skin Deep database.

This is the perfect “pre-event” treatment as the results actually last for weeks. Friendly reception and a clean, fresh atmosphere. Highly recommend!
