✨ 👋🏻 ✨

Taking a little Summer break! See you on the 21st! ✌🏻 ☀️ 😊

✨ 3!! ✨

And just like that newfoundwellness is 3!! I can’t believe how fast time has gone! So fast I missed our March anniversary! I’m thrilled to be on this adventure with you all and your constant support and encouragement means the world to me! Here’s to continuing to grow and nurture this space and to working with my amazing clientele! 💞 Thank you 🙏 💞

✨Challenge complete!!✨

Every February my run club 🏃‍♀️ does a challenge, where the goal is to complete 55kms of running (or walking)within the month to encourage winter movement and to help raise money for charities. I participate every year, but honestly and have never fully completed the challenge. I find February one of the hardest movement months for me, and if you struggle with consistency, like I do sometimes, it can become a full hibernation month. Knowing my fear of the ice and hibernation habits, we decided to invest in a treadmill for these colder months and I actually completed the challenge this year!! Feeling super happy and proud! 55km may seem like not a lot to some and impossible to others but for me it was a lot and I am feeling super accomplished! Now after my strength training challenge and cardio challenge the next step is to combine the two and find the right balance going forward! Highly encourage a little challenge if you struggle with consistency and motivation, it can be a nice boost in the right direction! Here’s to continuing consistent movement in 2026!!

✨I Did it!!✨

This is the very happy face of a proud Woman who kept a commitment to her self, and succeeded!!

My strength training the last few years had ranged from spotty to non existent. When my favourite gym closed I was little lost and not consistent with anything, bought equipment that I didn’t use, and just told myself that I can’t work out at home.

Well I know how incredibly important strength training is, especially for women my age and beyond, I finally made the decision that enough was enough, and I need to commit to myself to train for myself now as well as my future.

I have the equipment and the space and no reason not to. I found a free program on YouTube to follow and used equipment I already owned, and this morning I completed a six week program lifiting weights and strength training 5days a week, Monday-Friday for 30-35minutes with no days skipped! No fanfare, no fancy workout outfits, hell sometimes in my pajamas, I got it done. I feel so happy and accomplished in achieving this goal and am feeling much better and stronger already. Turns out it can be done and I can workout from home using what I have.

I will add in some outside classes and workouts here and there but knowing I can accomplish a lot in my own home is huge. I know consistency does NOT come easy to a lot of people (me included!), so showing up for yourself just a little at a time can make a huge impact. But it’s slowly, consistently, over time.

Hope this helps anyone who needs a little boost to help with their goals for the new year! It’s a marathon not a sprint, so ease in, take your time and do what works best for you. But I needed the reminder that I can make a commitment to myself and a little each day can make a large difference in how I feel.t

✨Happy Holidays!✨

Another work year has come to an end! I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all my valued clients who have trusted me with your care this year. It is truly an honour and a privilege to get to work with each and every one of you!

I will be closing down today and taking a little winter break and will be back in clinic on January 5th.

From my family to yours, I wish you all a very Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! See you in 2026! 🎄 🎊
