— From little seeds, grow mighty trees
—— A Note About Our Vibe Here…
We are family friendly! When our staff is working they are ecstatic to hold a baby or have a conversation with a toddler about their favourite dinosaur or have tea with an imaginary friend.
We believe in the idea of “It takes a Village”, and do not take it lightly when you choose to include us in yours.
We believe in empathy, compassion and understanding.
We believe in educating how the body works and what we do to get you to your goals. We want you to be able to make informed decisions on what works best for you. That also means working with our bodies and our environment, not fighting against them.
We believe in the beauty of imperfection and the occasional swear word. (Yes, we’re professionals but sometimes things warrant a well-placed F-bomb).
We believe everyone should feel safe and comfortable in our space. We want you to feel comfortable not apologizing for being emotional or not shaving your legs. There’s no judgement here!
