Sapphire And Soul

I’m so happy to share that Shelly Wells RMT and I have completed Cupping Lymphatic Therapy with the Academy of Lymphatic Studies!

We had so much fun studying together, learning, practicing, and talking our way through more than a few study sessions. There’s something pretty special about learning alongside someone who is just as excited to understand the why behind what we do and has client care at the forefront of every treatment.

The content of this course has honestly been some of the most valuable material I’ve studied. I’ve gained so much more insight into the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system, and I’m excited to keep building on this knowledge and bring these treatments to Sapphire and Soul.

This is a newer course for ACOLS, so there were some challenges along the way. We were incredibly fortunate to learn from an instructor who is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Lymphedema Therapist, holds several other credentials, and is currently working toward her doctorate with her dissertation focused on lymphatic studies. She was such a wealth of knowledge, and I feel very grateful to have her as a mentor as I continue developing my skills in MLD.

I’m waiting for my official certificate to arrive and then to be submitted to my insurance company before I can begin offering these treatments. In the meantime, I’ll be studying, practicing, and continuing to learn.

I’m really excited that we’ll soon be able to offer MLD treatments as another modality to support your wellness and keeps us learning and growing in our practice.

Thank you Shelly for being my classmate and study friend! I’m so glad we decided to take on this course together.

Hello August!

Summer has slowly arrived and my favourite season is here, SUPY season!

July was a busy and beautiful month! I had two trips to St. John’s for Churchill Park Music Festival and time spent visiting family, along with a very busy Massage Therapy schedule. I’m grateful for the moments, conversations and connections that filled the month.

My intention for August is to slow down, soak up summer and spend as much time as possible at the beach and on my paddle board. I’m looking forward to offering more SUP Yoga classes (hoping the wind allows!), enjoying quiet moments at the lake, and completing the final assignments and exam for the Manual Lymph Drainage course.

Over the next few days and weeks I’ll share more about what to expect during a SUP Yoga class. I’ll show you equipment used and how poses can be adapted. If you’ve been curious about SUP Yoga but weren’t sure what to expect, these posts may help you feel more comfortable and excited to join me on the water!

On the Massage Therapy side, my schedule has continued to be very full, and I am so thankful for the support of my clients! The next available 30 minute appointment is September 2nd, and the next 60 minute appointment is September 14. If you’re hoping to book a fall appointment, I recommend scheduling ahead of time. You are also welcome to join the wait list if you are wanting an earlier appointment.

Let’s make the most of these beautiful summer days, and take time for moments that help us slow down, connect and move and breathe with ease.

There is something truly special about beginning the day on the water.

This morning gifted us with a calm lake, warm sun filtering through the clouds, a gentle breeze washing over us and the refreshing lake beneath our boards. The birds chirped, a fish jumped, in these surroundings it makes it easier to connect to the present moment.

We began class on the beach building confidence in paddle skills before making our way to the class location. We moved through a sequence with core engagement, low lunges and invited in moments of strength and moments of stillness.

I was grateful to welcome two new students to class this morning and we all agreed that there is nothing quite like resting in Savasana while floating on the water. Feeling the gentle movement of the lake breath you, the warmth of the sun above and the quiet reminder of taking a moment of stillness in nature can be the biggest gift to ourselves.

Tomorrow is calling for a hot beautiful summer day! Join me at 10am for SUP Yoga and start your week surrounded by nature, movement and inviting in the present moment. Class is on the schedule!

I’m also watching the wind forecast and hoping to add an evening class around 6pm. Stay tuned for a morning update tomorrow.

Come breathe, move, float, and connect. A board is waiting! 🩵
