How does autumn feel in your body? 🍂
What are you carrying forward with you in this season?
What are you letting go of?

These are some of the questions we were invited to reflect on at Arrive Here's Arrive Here - Seasonal Wellness & Retreats - ON, Canada annual fall grounding retreat. Nine beautiful women from across the province gathered together in beautiful Prince Edward County to receive the medicine of sisterhood. 🤍 We meditated as we melted into our mats. We were nourished with plant based meals and didn't have to wash a dish. We connected over our spiritual beliefs, practiced experiencing joy through play and laughed A LOT. ✨

So - how does autumn feel in your body?

All 9 women in our magical container answered differently. Each answer proceeded by a collective mmmmmmm... As in mmmmmm, I feel that too, or mmmmmm I love that so much. Autumn in my body feels like slowing down. It feels cozy and warm. A preparation for the stillness of winter. 🍁

My intention for the retreat was to be taken care of - ALLOW myself to be taken care of - and to simply exist. 🤲

If this magic calls to you, then I hope to see you soon.

Many thanks,

Monika 🌿

Client love for Monika 🤍

“Safe, comforting and gentle.” These words mean so much to us. Thank you, A.M., for sharing your experience. 🌿

When life gets busy, it’s easy to keep going, look after everyone else and put your own needs on the back burner. Taking a moment to notice how you’re feeling can become the last thing on your list.

Let Monika hold space for you. A space where you don’t have to accomplish anything, have the right words or take care of anyone else. You can simply arrive as you are, settle in and receive.

Whether you’re curious about Reiki or returning after some time away, Monika welcomes you with warmth and a gentle presence. ✨

Your thoughts, emotions and inner world deserve care and attention, too.

🌿 WELLNESS MONDAY | Acute vs. Chronic Pain

When your body whispers… and when it screams.

⚡ Acute Pain: That sudden back spasm, stiff neck, or sharp discomfort that stops you in your tracks.

Did you know you don't always have to wait for the pain to settle before seeking care? Gentle osteopathic treatment may help ease discomfort and get you moving more comfortably again.

🌱 Chronic Pain: Those recurring headaches, persistent tension, or aches you've simply learned to live with.

Chronic pain is complex. Your nervous system, stress, sleep, and movement patterns can all influence how you experience it. Osteopathy can help support mobility and pain management.

✨ Where does Reiki fit in?

Pain affects more than just the physical body. Reiki offers a calming space to relax, unwind, and reconnect, complementing your physical care.

🤲 Whether you're in crisis, managing ongoing discomfort, or simply prioritizing your well-being, we're here to support you.

Because caring for your body isn't just about treating pain. It's about understanding it.

🌿 FUN FACT FRIDAY with Tara!

Did you know? In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is associated with the Kidneys and the Water element. 💧

As the temperatures drop, TCM encourages us to slow down, conserve our energy, and embrace warmth.

✨ Try this simple seasonal self-care ritual:

🧘 Take a few slow, deep breaths. Imagine breathing in warmth and gently directing it toward your lower back.

🦶 Massage the soles of your feet, just below the balls of your feet. In TCM, this area is associated with Kidney 1 (Yongquan), an important acupressure point along the Kidney meridian.

🍂 Keep your feet and lower back cozy as the colder weather settles in.

In TCM, the Kidneys represent more than the physical organs. They're traditionally associated with vitality, growth, and our foundational energy.

Sometimes, taking care of yourself starts with slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and embracing the rhythm of the season.

💛 Patient Love for Véronique ✨

There’s something so special about welcoming our littlest patients into the clinic! 👶🤍

Those first few weeks of life bring so many changes, and sometimes a little extra support can make a beautiful difference.

Osteopathy offers a gentle, whole-body approach to supporting newborns as they adapt to life outside the womb.

Hearing feedback like this truly warms my heart! 🥹

Thank you, K.C., for trusting me with your little one and sharing your experience. It's such a privilege to be part of these early moments. 🌿

✨ Little bodies deserve gentle care, too.

🍂 WELLNESS MONDAY | The Wellness of Gratitude

What if one of the simplest things we could do for our well-being was to appreciate what we already have?

Gratitude is more than a lovely feeling. Research suggests that practising gratitude can support emotional well-being, reduce perceived stress, and improve sleep.

But gratitude doesn't have to mean journaling every morning or finding something positive in every situation.

Sometimes it's simply noticing.

🍁 The beauty of the changing seasons. 🤎 A conversation that fills your cup. ☕ That first warm sip in the morning. ✨ The people who make life a little brighter.

Our bodies need rest, our minds need moments of calm, and our spirits thrive on meaningful connection.

This Thanksgiving, I hope you find a little time to slow down, reconnect, and appreciate the moments that matter.

From our Osteo Naturel family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🤎

🍂 A Little Thanksgiving Gratitude 🤎

They say it takes a village, and I couldn't agree more!

Behind Osteo Naturel is a wonderful group of humans, each bringing their own personality, knowledge, passion, and a little bit of magic to what we do. ✨

When I started Osteo Naturel, I wanted to create more than just a clinic. A space where people feel welcomed, supported, and connected. Where mind, body, and spirit come together naturally.

And none of that happens alone!

This Thanksgiving, I'm especially grateful for our incredible practitioners, the wonderful people working behind the scenes, and the meaningful connections we've built along the way.

A little extra gratitude for Karen, one of our wellness affiliates, and a warm welcome to Marla, our newest team member, who will be bringing psychotherapy to Osteo Naturel this November! 🤎

And of course, to our amazing clients and community, thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and growing alongside us.

Because at the heart of Osteo Naturel, it's always been about people, connection, and caring for one another.

Happy Thanksgiving from our little wellness family to yours! 🍁

Mind. Body. Spirit. Naturally Connected.

✨ FUN FACT FRIDAY | WITH KAREN ✨

Did you know that a big part of Karen's focus on helping women through midlife includes community and connection? 💛

Twice a year, Karen hosts a special client appreciation event where women come together to enjoy a catered meal, inspiring conversations, and meaningful connections that truly fill their cups.

For women, connection is an important part of our health and well-being.

Our bodies release oxytocin through connection, trust, affection, laughter, and joy. Often called the bonding hormone, oxytocin plays a role in helping us feel connected, supported, and emotionally balanced.

Because connection isn't just something we enjoy. It's something we need. 🌿

And as Karen beautifully puts it:

"When we work together, you become part of a community."

✨ Because supporting women through midlife is about so much more than individual care. It's about creating a space where women feel seen, supported, and connected.

🌿 Meet Marla Soubhie, RP (Qualifying)! 🤎

We're so excited to welcome Marla to the Osteo Naturel & Wellness family this November!

Marla is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Shady Pines Psychotherapy, bringing over a year of counselling and psychotherapy experience, along with a background in social work and community support.

At Osteo Naturel, we've always believed that true wellness goes beyond the physical body. Our emotions, experiences, and nervous system are all connected, and caring for our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. ✨

Marla's warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach fits beautifully with our philosophy of whole-person care.

She supports individuals navigating:
🌿 Anxiety, stress & burnout
🤎 Life transitions, boundaries & self-worth
🌸 Fertility, pregnancy & postpartum mental health
✨ Grief, loss & emotional overwhelm
🌱 Emotional regulation & personal growth

Blending evidence-informed psychotherapy with somatic, body-based approaches, Marla creates a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, understand your emotions, and reconnect with yourself.

One thing Marla wishes everyone knew?

💬 "You don't need to have a 'good enough' reason to come to therapy, and you definitely don't need to have everything figured out before you start."

And when she's not supporting clients? You'll likely find her thrifting, enjoying the outdoors, catching up on Vanderpump Rules, or reaching for her next caffeine fix! ☕😉

We're so happy to have Marla and Shady Pines Psychotherapy joining our growing wellness community.

🌿 Marla begins welcoming clients online November 2, 2026!

✨ Free 15-minute consultations available
💻 Convenient online psychotherapy sessions
🤎 Book through the link in our bio!

Help us give Marla a warm Osteo Naturel welcome! 🌸
