Welcoming Wellness
483 George St. S. K9J 3E6 Peterborough, ON, Canada

Welcoming Wellness is closed during this current shutdown. Anyone with appointments is in the process of being contacted for rescheduling. I hope you have all had good holidays and wishing you a wonderful New Year. Thank you to everyone for all your support this year.

Last minute Christmas shopping ideas. I finally have some time to sit down and show all of you the new stones in stock. It makes coming to the office even better than it already was. I get to look at these beauties every time I walk through the door. The small puffy hearts are all $10.00 each. The larger selenite heart dishes they sit in are $26.00 each. A great way to keep your stones clear of unwanted energy . Pictures below: Rhodonite, Rose Quartz, Tiger’s Eye

A few items from my last shipment that arrived on Friday. Selenite puffy hearts and a moon shaped selenite bowl. The hearts are $7.50 each. The bowl is $26.00. These pieces come with very few flaws but due to the soft nature of selenite, you can expect a few imperfections. These bowls are not meant to be used for food. Most pieces have natural fracturing.

Absolutely, wickedly gorgeous. Congrats to the lovey lady who asked for this special order. I might have to order some of these myself. Rose quartz hearts in a beautiful, carved heart dish (selenite). Unfortunately this picture is not doing the combination justice.

Up for sale. $25.00 1 amethyst pendant with chain. There is only 1; so first come, first serve. Today only - FREE shipping.

Yes, I am open for business. Currently still scheduling in people on my wait list. As such new clients and anyone that will be looking to set up new appointments will be scheduled in after August 15th. Evening and Saturday appointments will be available. With the possibility of a couple of Monday afternoons after 2pm. Looking into the future, scheduling should be easier post labour day weekend.... My apologies for any inconveniences. The post office has paid a lot of bills during this time and for that I am grateful. And as most of you know my goal is to ensure at least one day off every week - currently Sunday. Hope everyone is staying well and enjoying a bit more freedom.

Yes, I am in the process of reopening. I will update on Monday. Fortunately during this time I have picked up a great deal of work at the post office (as some of you know I started working part time for them last year). It has been a blessing as it has allowed me to weather Covid-19 without worrying over bills. At the same time, not knowing when Stage 3 would happen, I have agreed to cover two vacations in the coming two weeks and committed to working through August. Thus I a...m working at setting up a schedule that allows me to still see clients. I have several people that have been waiting for appointments and I am working at getting them scheduled in. I also have a couple of people that I am fitting in due to unique and more urgent circumstances. Looking forward to being back in business . Thank you kindly for your patience as I get things organized. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

Welcoming Wellness remains closed pending phase 3 reopening in Ontario. Barefoot Acupuncture is open. Marianne has ensured the clinic is Covid 19 compliant. Wishing you all the best.

An update, for everyone that has inquired. I have been in touch with the Peterborough Public Health Unit and still cannot get more information as to whether Reflexology/Hypnsosis/Reiki can open up yet. I am not planning any return to normal operation until the first week of July at this point. That still depends on whether we are allowed to open at that point or not. If anyone comes across more comprehensive information for Ontario please feel free to pass it my way. I have been on the website the government put out and have called their 1-888 number and still could not find confirmation. So hang tight. Go enjoy the services that you can. I hope to be back in action in another month.

Yes, things are slowly opening back up. Marianne and I are talking about how to open the space back up for sessions. She is already preparing and has several plans in place. As I am unregulated, I have a little bit less guidance from my colleges than perhaps some of the regulated fields do. As it stands I would like to see the numbers of covid-19 continue to go down for a few days before I consider reopening. I also need to ensure I am in compliance with the governments reop...ening plans. As well, as some of you know, I work part time for the post office. It has been a blessing during this time to be able to rely on another source of income to pay bills. That being said, I am exposed to more than just my family. So I want to make sure that things are truly headed in the right direction before reopening. So stay tuned. I am hoping to be open at the end of June. It’s unlikely that it will be before that. And that is simply for the safety of all of you and to give time to make sure Marianne and I both have things down pat. We both will be spending extra time cleaning and disinfecting. Thanks again to Big Brothers and Big Sisters, we are so very lucky to have such good landlords. And thank you to Marianne for keeping me updated and being so easy to work out the way forward with both our businesses.

Hoping everyone is staying well! Looking forward to seeing all of you again - hopefully sometime this summer. Wishing each of you good health. A special shout out to Big Brothers and Big Sisters for being so accommodating to my business and helping to make it possible to reopen when we get the all clear. I consider myself very fortunate.

Coping mechanisms are natural and normal byproducts of life. Smoking, over indulging in food, yes - even running for four hours a day, are coping mechanisms for stress in our daily lives. How do we change when we realize these coping mechanisms are no longer in our best interests? Well it takes some time, some effort, and some help. Sometimes people have an epiphany and change overnight - this is a best case scenario that does not happen for the majority of people. Often...Continue reading

Just thought I would let everyone know that stones are available for shipping. I’ve had an order recently and the normal range of shipping fee is 12-15 dollars. Expedited post. I only ship and sell within Ontario. Please note that due to extremely high volumes of mail/parcels with Canada post, you can expect to wait a day or two extra for your package. If you are local to me and wish to save on shipping costs - it can be done with arrangements made to pick up. If you are ...interested please pm me for pictures of what is available or let me know what you might be interested in. I may post pictures in the coming days based on how high interest is. And yes - I can work with you to find the right stone for you. I often get a feeling for someone and choose based on that feeling. But some customers like to see pictures and choose their own - and it is very doable. Thanks to technology . Wishing you all a good Friday. Looking forward to seeing you all in person again someday.

A shout out to all the people working hard to keep everyone safe, healthy, and fed right now. Thoughts, prayers, and thanks are with you. Special prayers for each and every person out there right now. Wishing you all the ability to navigate your circumstances and come through this with as much ease as possible.

We were quiet but they still noticed us.

A chance to watch the geese fly in for the evening.

Good afternoon. My business will be shutting down for two weeks, effective end of day today. This is a minimum period - if the situation continues as is or gets worse, this may become a longer shut down. Wishing you all the best. Stay healthy and safe. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions, concerns, or anything else I can help you with during this time. Just because appointments are no longer available, doesn’t mean I can’t help you find resources you can use at home .

Good morning everyone. I would like to provide everyone with an update on how coronavirus is being handled here at the office. If you have travelled outside the country or are feeling sick, please reschedule your appointment to a later date. There is no penalty for this. If you need to cancel five minutes before you get here, I completely understand and very much wish for you to do so. Please note that, while I will always strive to never cancel on you, if I feel sick, you ...may also receive a short notice cancellation from me. I have not recently travelled anywhere and do not intend to travel anytime soon. Increased sanitation is occurring. I am following the situation very closely and will make changes to procedures as the situation changes. I am in close daily contact with family members who are in a higher risk bracket for serious complications from Covid-19. Now is the time to take care and concern over your own health and the health of others. In my opinion, it is important to minimize the risk to those that are vulnerable and to work towards limiting the impact on our health care system. Wishing you all good health. Updates will be provided as needed. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and concerns regarding the current Covid-19 situation.

Community acupuncture from 3:30 to 7:30 - Family Day! Please check out Marianne’s website in order to find out more information or to book. Please note there is a sliding scale of $25-$35 for community acupuncture. Sessions last an hour, but are booked in 20 minute increments because there will be two other people in the room with you receiving a session as well. This is a really affordable alternative for those without benefits and/or a lot of extra cash . http://www.barefootacupunctureptbo.com
