I am officially on Maternity Leave!
I always find finishing work, and taking a leave to be a very bitter sweet feeling. I am always saddened by the absence of connection to my clients, and inability to be able to help them in their healing processes; but the leaves always bring about new levels of growth in my personal life. Typically, or at least prior to the break for the initial COVID 19 restrictions, the only reasons I have ever taken extended time away from work was for travel or having my son. Those experiences have always brought about self growth in ways I could not have anticipated upon initially taking the time off.
So here I go again!! As I anxiously await the birth of my second son, I am again taking a break from work and turning inwards. I will be spending the next couple weeks (unless he decides to join the outside world sooner), to prepare my body, mind, and home for the newest addition to our little family. I feel so blessed to call Squamish home and to be able to birth and raise my children on this beautiful, magical, and medicinal Land. As always, I will be spending lots of time in nature and listening to the wisdom it has to offer to me and family as we move into this next stage of growth.
I am never sure how long I will be away from my work practice when I initially start my leave, but I seem to never be able to stay away too long. Baby is due April 28th, and I plan to take a few months off after to bond, heal, and adjust to our new normal with him and my older son. I am thinking of returning to work in the fall, but will keep my website updated as life unfolds.
Thank you to all of you who continue to encourage and support me in the work I do, and for send your well wishes to my family. I look forward to working with you again soon, and wish you all good health and happiness in the coming months. Be sure to nourish your bodies, minds and souls with the things that uplift and heal you, and let go of the things that are holding you back!!
Peace and Blessings to you and your Loved ones!!
Minda
