 “You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.” ~ Dale Carnegie On December 26th, back in 2013, we officially opened the doors to Well Being for the first time. Starting our own business was a scary experience! We didn’t really know what we were doing and it was extremely daunting not knowing how we would be received. All we knew is that we wanted to be of service- to bring as much love and healing light into the world as we possibly could. Like any small business owner that is just starting out, we took a leap of faith and hoped for the best!
Over the years we have experimented with many offerings, including skincare, yoga classes, sound healing, SUP yoga, massage workshops, and talks on a whole range of enlightening topics. These experiences gave us the opportunity to learn and grow both professionally and personally, and we connected with many wonderful and inspiring healers, teachers and guides. The past 10 years have also provided many challenges, including several years of construction projects in our little town, some of the biggest winters on record, and a global pandemic- just to name a few! We can honestly say that we have been challenged and enriched in ways we never knew possible over the last ten years. We are truly humbled and grateful for every customer and client who has stepped foot in our business and supported our dream. Without your support none of this would be possible! We also have a deep appreciation for all the amazing therapists and employees we have had the pleasure of working with during this time. Each one has helped us on our journey and many have become life-long friends. Who knows what the next 10 years will bring? One thing we are certain of is our dedication to serve and provide value to the best of our ability. We look forward to evolving Well Being with the hope of supporting you on your journey to relaxation, connection and transformation. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

 "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind." ~Calvin Coolidge It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Except, if we are being perfectly honest, it’s not really all that wonderful, is it? It’s actually the coldest, darkest, bleakest time of the year. However, faced with a choice between succumbing to misery or rallying together to create warmth, connection and cheer, mankind has traditionally chosen the latter.
Throughout human history, we have gathered together at this time for the sole purpose of keeping spirits high. Saturnalia, for example, was an ancient Roman festival dedicated to the god Saturn, celebrated around the winter solstice, which involved feasting and gift giving. Later on in their history, the Romans would celebrate the birth of Sol Invictus, the sun god. During this time, temples and public spaces were decorated with evergreen boughs, lights and wreaths, symbolizing life and the return of light during the dark winter months. The Yule festival, from the ancient Norse and Germanic people, also celebrated the return of the light and featured feasts, bonfires, evergreen decorations and gift giving. Therefore, let’s not get too caught up in semantics when it comes to celebrating Christmas. The spirit of the Holidays comes to us from traditions that have been with us for thousands of years. What all these traditions have in common is that they celebrate the light during an otherwise dark time. Faced with a pervasive lack of warmth and light, we gather together to create our own. It’s tempting to just say “Bah, humbug!” to the whole thing and retreat into the comfort of your own solitude, however that would be missing the point. It isn't the cold weather or the lack of daylight that determines how enjoyable this time of year can be, it’s you! |
