During these times of social distancing, I’ve definitely had my share of bad days. Trust me, us practitioners are not given passes on this emotional rollercoaster. Bad days come and go, but…today was a good day.  In part this could be due to my change in perception around the idea of ‘stewardship’ in my life. By definition a steward is described as, “A person who keeps order, manages or looks after, or supervises a thing, place or being.” Now the thing is, we are…

Incredibly Fresh and Addictive Quinoa Salad This recipe is adapted from the much more complicated Jaime Oliver version, called ‘Blackened Chicken San Francisco Quinoa Salad.’  This simplified version is tested (multiple times) and it is honestly addictive.  The BEST meal idea for a warm day as it is so refreshing.

Hello to friends and clients at Wellness on Whyte – I trust that you are keeping well and feeling the lightening that comes with the unfolding of spring. In the wake of this winter, and the Covid-19 changes, transition is in the air. So many of us have been affected by these events. My capacity to practice as a Massage Therapist has been profoundly altered and the results of this will be felt for some time.  In light of this and with some sadness,…

Of all the natural transformations we witness around us, I am enamored by spring the most. Spring is the embodiment of transformation, not just transition from cold to warm weather. We witness renewal in spirit and rebirth in life of all life forms. This transition, though welcomed by one and all can be a bit challenging for some of us. The rejuvenation of plant life means release of spores and pollens, which translates to spring-time allergies! This was the case of Allison, a 27…

Ayurveda is an eternal science, something that has no beginning or end. It not only helps you to understand the value of life, but it also provides timeless direction that encourages one to live life in the most harmonious way possible.

Ayurveda is an ancient wisdom that is meant to be used everyday, it’s not something you look for only when you need it. It’s very practical and accessible because its foundation is based in maintenance of good health and prevention of disease.

Here at Wellness on Whyte our monthly mantra, “I am at Ease”, seems to be relevant to the world now more than ever. The intensity of emotions being experienced world wide is essentially a magnifying glass on the emotional fluctuation we all deal with on a daily level.

Being at ease? What does it mean to you? It seems simple, doesn’t it? Yet, how can we achieve this wonderful feeling?

I believe that feeling at ease is a blend of awareness and let go. We must be aware of our thoughts, feelings and actions and how we contribute to our wellbeing and the wellbeing of our home, not our physical home but our body, our soul and the Earth where we all live.
