✨ Feeling Grateful ✨
These past few weeks have been beautifully busy, and I've found myself reflecting on how grateful I am for this path.

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend an acupuncture conference in Moncton, where I was surrounded by passionate and inspiring practitioners. There is something special about coming together with others who share a deep love for this medicine—learning, growing, and witnessing the incredible ways acupuncture continues to support people around the world and improve quality of life for so many different health conditions.

I'm also incredibly grateful for everyone who has walked through the doors of my little treatment room lately—both new and returning faces. Thank you for trusting me to be part of your healing journey. It is a privilege I never take for granted. I've had the joy of witnessing some truly beautiful shifts and progress, and it continually reminds me why I love what I do.

A special thank you to the amazing women at Cedar & Sea. Being surrounded by women who share similar values, support one another, and are so passionate about helping others is something I deeply cherish. The knowledge, encouragement, and sense of community there feels like family.

And finally, I am so grateful to Janice for sharing her incredible knowledge and passion for Craniosacral Therapy. As many of you know, Jasmine Russ and I had the privilege of taking this training together as part of our commitment to deepening our practice and continuing to grow as practitioners.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet incredibly powerful modality that works with the nervous system, helping the body shift into a rest-and-digest state, unwind tension patterns, support pain relief, improve resilience to stress, and create space for the body’s natural healing processes.

I'm excited to begin integrating what I've learned into treatments and to continue exploring how this work can complement acupuncture and support the people who trust us with their care. You may notice some adjustments to my treatment offerings and online booking over the coming weeks as I integrate this new training into my practice.

Feeling very thankful for the teachers, mentors, colleagues, patients, friends, and community that continue to support this journey. 🌿

With gratitude,
Kristina

One year ago on May 31st, this space was still known as Compass Rose Salon - and while I’m grateful for where it began, deep down I knew my vision for the space was something different.

I envisioned a place that felt grounding. Calm. Welcoming. A place where different practitioners could come together under one roof and support people in meaningful ways - not just through beauty or treatment alone, but through connection, wellness, nervous system support, and genuine care.

Over the last year, Cedar & Sea Wellness Collective has slowly unfolded into exactly that 🌿

What started as an idea became a collective of incredibly talented women, each bringing their own gifts, specialties, and energy into this space. Together, we’ve shared long days, growth, learning, laughter, support, and so many conversations with the beautiful people who walk through our doors.

To everyone who has practiced under this roof over the past year - thank you for helping shape Cedar & Sea into what it is today 💕

And to our clients, friends, family, and community - thank you for supporting local, trusting us with your care, and growing alongside us.

Different practices. Shared values. One collective.

Here’s to one year of Cedar & Sea 🎉🤍
