The Den- Sound Healing, Aromatherapy and Yoga with Breanne
29 Main Street Old Co-op Grocery Store Flin Flon, MB, Canada

Why is eating psychology so important in the world we live in today? Take 5 seconds to scroll social media and I’m sure you can see why. Unreal representations of bodies, constant bombardment of diet culture and diet products, blatant fat-phobia. You can’t escape it. It is literally thrust in our faces even when we are actively trying to avoid it. I’m sure like everyone else the more I see, the more the self doubt creeps in. ‘Keto hey.... hmm... everyone is doing it.... I know my nurse brain sees the obvious dangers but just maybe.....’ or ‘oh man doing 177 sit ups a day will give me abs like that? Tomorrow I should start that’. Learning a psychological approach to managing our relationship to food can help recognize these triggers and break the cycle. Providing the tools to see those triggers and say #IPEinspire

Today’s journal prompt: who do I want to help with this training? Well my answer of course is everyone because I know food and body issues know no age or gender but I’m going to instead focus on where I’m most passionate. Young people identifying as female. Since the day I volunteered at a Sparks group and had an 8 year old tell me ‘I hate everything about my body’ I have made an effort to work with our youth. Through my @girlvanayoga training I have been able to spend a lot ...of time discussing the issues our youth face today and guess what guys.... a lot of them are the same from when we were younger. Being able to have honest, open discussions around the topics of food and body image at a young age teaches them early they are not alone. As a registered nurse during the time of a global pandemic, I’m also wanting to bring these teachings to my coworkers. The nurses who are working tirelessly without proper nutrition or hydration during a 12 hour shift to ensure others are safe. The nurses who are constantly told ‘meh, this is your job, you signed up for this.’ We did sign up for nursing but did not sign up for putting our own physical and mental health second. They deserve these teachings #IPEinspire credit @brandybloxom

Don’t forget to support our local SPCA by buying some of these amazing raffle tickets! They take etransfers!

Look at these awesome offering from our friend Danielle at Wildflower!!

How many of you often wish you could go back and teach your younger self the important things you know now? How many of you often spend time thinking ahead to when things will be so much better when you get ‘x,y and z’ all straightened out? How many of you thought about your weight or physical appearance when you read those statements? Most of you know I already have a passion for working with women and girls of all ages. In the work I do I have never been shy to discus...s the struggles I have faced over my 34 years in terms of self-compassion and self-acceptance. I have lived in many versions of my body.... many sizes and shapes... and let me tell ya, no particular one means guaranteed happiness. I’ve eaten without a single thought to the quality of food going into my body and I’ve also tracked and dissected every single calorie entering my mouth (‘hmm I chewed that piece of gum today... better burn an extra 5 calories later’ ) I’ve done a lot of work over the years to reach the place I am at today (and I still have my tough moments).... but my biggest takeaway? I’m not alone. That pretty much everyone struggles from time to time. My goal for obtaining the Mind Body Eating certification? Get people talking and sharing to work together in realizing you don’t have to be trapped in that mindset. #IPEinspire See more

Hello beautiful souls! Sharing another group I have starting this week. It's going to be a great one! Women's Wisdom is all about reconnecting to your body and... your cycle. Registration for both my group programs closes tonight. Hope everyone had a great holiday season! www.wildflowerholistichealth.com/book-online See more

Women coming together is incredibly powerful. So excited for what the New Year is going to bring for our community from some talented ladies... #staytuned

Essential oils and pets....Something I get asked about a lot as an aromatherapist. Using essential oils with animals is actually an extra certification and requires more training but I can share some personal experience. Proceed with caution. The list of oils to avoid with dogs is big and for cats, even bigger. My poor girl has now had two allergic reactions resulting in hives, agitation and general discomfort from utilizing oils. Even educated I still need to be mindful of t...he following tips: 1. Don’t diffuse or burn candles for many hours during the day. Use the intermittent setting on a diffuser or stop it every couple hours for a break. 2. Only use a couple drops in a diffuser. 3. Familiarize yourself with safe pet oils (give me a shout if you’d like some info) 4. Keep some antihistamines on hand for when you forget to follow your own rules See more

Happy New Year!! To all my clients and supporters; a huge thank you for still making this rough year a success! Being a small business has been very stressful in 2020 but having your support has made it a million times easier. Can’t wait to see you all in 2021 (hopefully sooner rather than later!) PS anyone waiting on a product I greatly apologize... my ingredients have been sitting in Winnipeg since the 21st I will get you your things as soon as I can!!

"I have always believed that it is important for aromatherapy to move out of the realm of quack medicine and to be established as a viable modality. It is really not helpful to this process when claims are made for essential oils that have no established clinical basis. This may help to sell more essential oils, but it also undermines the validity of using them in healing. This has been highlighted with the current pandemic. Using essential oils is one thing, but claiming t...hat any are viable treatments is quite another. When exactly does sharing information cross a red line? Unfortunately, it’s not simple." https://tisserandinstitute.org/covid-19-and-unfounded-clai/

Thank you to those who have thought of me during these stressful times Certificates are available for both services and products! *Note: anyone with a certificate that has ‘expired’ they will still be accepted when I am allowed to re-open*

Spent my Saturday night making face moisturizer! 3 kinds available: Lavender, apricot kernel, silk aminos for sensitive skin (2 available) Lime, apricot kernel, grapefruit, rosemary, pineapple, silk aminos for acne prone skin (3 available) Pumpkin seed, apricot kernel, orange, lemongrass, neroli, guava, silk aminos for dry/mature skin (4 available)... $20 for 60 mls... message me to grab one of these lovely whipped moisturizers!

I get asked all the time ‘do you make a facial cream/moisturizer?’... making lotions is a little tricky and something I’ve never quite had the patience for. Yesterday while experimenting with whipped body butters I wondered.... could a similar technique to make a facial cream and... voila! It worked! Such an amazing whipped texture. This test batch is made with lavender butter, calendula, lavender essential oil and a little silk amino to give it that silky smooth finish. Can’t wait to try it with my other butters!!

I am teaching twice this week! Youth yoga has two spots open Deep Healing has one spot open (Wednesday night)... Book soon as both these classes usually fill up!

Love this... if you or anyone else you know could benefit, give them a shout!!

Tried out a couple new night creams today! They are the same consistency as the green tea eye cream (almost like a gel) 1. Made of Moringa (made of all kinds of good nutrients that minimize signs of aging and restore natural radiance) as well as rose, geranium and elemi (the lesser known cousin of frankincense with the same awesome skin enhancing properties) 2. Made of pumpkin seed butter (high in linoleic acid which is great for restoring plumpness to mature skin) as well a...s patchouli, lavender and elemi Only 3 of each were made so they set as nice as the green tea cream!

Still room with Katie and Tammy!

Had my first client today in The Den!! Thankful to have access to this beautiful space Breanne created . Wildflower is officially open for business!! The Den- Sound Healing, Aromatherapy and Yoga with Breanne

First off, we want to say a huge thank you for making our first two weeks at the Community Wellness Collective successful! We have been so pleased with turnouts... and are thankful for your understanding and patience as we work out the kinks. Unfortunately, since we are by donation we are noticing a bit of a trend of participants signing up for classes and either cancelling at the last minute or not showing up at all. For us to continue to use our by donation model we need to address this with a new policy. Some of our classes have been filled to the capacity of our facility and we have to turn people away. When large numbers choose not to show, that is taking away a spot from someone who would have attended. Moving forward the policy is as follow: - please cancel 3 hours before your class to allow people adequate time to fill spots - Participants who do not cancel within the 3 hour period or chose to no show will be tracked. After TWO offences, the participant will not be allowed to register in advance for sessions and will have to function on a late sign up/drop in basis. We hope you understand our need for this policy to keep our model of donation based classes functioning

HAPPY FRIDAY! Come & start your weekend off with us, today we are offering: 5pm FIT-IN-45 (Melanie) - Limited Availability ... 6:15pm POWER VINYASA FLOW (Kristy)- Availability **if you are unable to make a class you have previously registered for, please let us know, thank you!**
