As we head into Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you - I'm so grateful for this incredible community and for every one of my clients that I've had the privilege of working with over the years. Watching you show up for yourself, build consistency, and growing into the healthiest versions of yourselves makes me so proud!

 

This season always reminds me to slow down, to appreciate how far we've come, re-focus on where we're going, switch up our routines, and nourish ourselves in more ways than one. Whether it's through movement, mindful eating, or simply giving yourself credit for showing up each day. I hope you find time this weekend to thank yourself.

 

 

 

This month can feel tricky - from Thanksgiving feasts, seasonal indulgences, to Halloween candy temptation in the house - but I view it as an opportunity to add more tools to your wellness toolbox. I used to feel like I couldn’t enjoy my favourite fall treats while sticking to a program. I’d think, “It only comes once a year, and it already feels so short” which would result in falling off my program. Not this year! We can embrace all of our fall favourites this cozy season has to offer while crushing it on your program!

 

 

It’s the month when I hear so many clients say, “The candy is everywhere, and it’s so hard to resist!” This year, we’re flipping the script. No restriction - We’re working with it, not against it. When we label foods as “bad” or off limits, it only leads to more cravings and over-doing it. This year, let’s see what happens when we build in some of our favourite healthier halloween treats into our week to help keep you satisfied, which will help you stay consistent on your program!
