The final person I would like to reintroduce as someone who supported the initial days of the Trailhead is Tina Jackson.

Her business is Mystical Empowerment and that alone describes the realm of health and healing that she brings to the Trailhead. To reintroduce Tina, I want to describe our first meeting.

Anyone who knows me (Shari), knows that I am a pretty black and white kinda gal. I have enough people in my family and circle that feel other energies however, that I was excited to have someone like Tina approach me. Tina arrived with her feathers and ribbons and I, as someone who is dresses
like a park ranger most days 😀, thought maybe I had not prepared myself enough! But even being in Tina’s presence for a few minutes, there was a layer of grounded calming that needs to be felt more than it can be described.

Tina offered drumming, soundbaths and Chakradance in the spring. This fall she is returning with 9 weeks of Chakradance on Sunday afternoons (2pm-330pm) starting September 13th. The first session will cover all 8 Chakras then Tina will lead you through a movement meditation exploring
each Chakra each Sunday after that.

“You are worthy of healing on all levels.” ~ Tina Jackson

Another reintroduction …
(drum roll please)

Joanne Hompoth is a Registered Massage Therapist with roots in practice since 2002. She founded Nitchi Valley Massage in 2012; a cozy home-based clinic west of Bergen.
Joanne specializes in deep tissue massage, blending therapeutic techniques with calm, restorative touch. Whether addressing chronic tension or offering a soothing escape, she focuses on effective results to help clients recover, relieve pain and restore well-being.

Joanne jumped on board early to join the Trailhead to expand her business and I am so happy to have her relaxed presence in the Trailhead every Tuesday. This fall, you may see her here a little more often. Give Joanne a call for booking massage therapy appointments.

Hiya. I'm Shari Leedahl. I would like to take a moment to reintroduce myself as well.

Although I (along with my husband) own and operate this joint, I did not really want to be “the face” of the Trailhead. Truthfully, this was not a lifelong dream. I had been working in Sundre for a long time and felt overdue for a change. It took a few months for this to pop in to my brain (or perhaps my heart?). It was really about years of hearing about great opportunities in Sundre and wanting to bring them in to a more accessible, visible space. To give both the community and the instructors / facilitators / therapists a space to love.

If I am reaching, I could say my history in Sundre business goes back to the 70s when my parents owned West Country Sports, albeit for a short term. My dad’s dream was to own a sporting goods store and took the opportunity in Sundre but was told it would never work with out pairing it with a hardware store. Maybe they were right? Later in life, as I was waxing my skis, he said he wished he would have known more about outdoor sports during that time and wondered if that would have kept him in the business. Who knows. He also talked about how he loved when kids would come in and lean on hockey sticks after school testing all the “new” ones that he would bring out from the back. Point being, the love of sports and activity runs deep and with age I have learned that wellness is about so much more than just the physical.

Now, I don’t want to sell sporting goods but I do want to bring in people that can help this be the place I imagined. A place for people to gather. Because hey – it’s the Trailhead! Where friends gather and adventure begins!

Another reintroduction of someone that really needs no introduction. Everyone knows Gerry, right?

Gerry Greschner – Rural Joy Fitness
Need a little encouragement when it comes to increasing your activity? Gerry is your gal! I have heard Gerry’s Spin classes are “fun”, “sweaty”, “work” but my favourite description - “supportive”.

“So you think you can’t spin? Well, I’m here to show you that you can – it’s not too hard and you’re not too old! Class is what you make it – the opportunity for challenge is there but you are always welcome to choose your own level. Some days you’ve got it and some days you don’t and that’s okay – just keep pedalling – that’s the only rule. We need to keep moving our bodies and cardio is an important part of that.” ~ Gerry

Gerry will be back on the bikes September 14th!
M&W at 830am / T&Th at 530pm

Back in November 2025, the idea of the Trailhead Wellness Collective popped in to my head as I peeked over the for sale sign propped up in the window. By April 2026, we were able to open the doors and excited to share this space with the community. There were a few folks that ultimately supported that early vision by jumping on board right away. Over the next week or so, I would like to reintroduce you to them and a few new faces you will see around the Trailhead.

Melissa Shippy – Live Elements Yoga

Melissa had been teaching various classes in Sundre for many years and I was so happy that she jumped on board early to share this space. Melissa has her creative fires burning with a couple new class ideas for the fall. Until then, Melissa continues to lead VINYASA FLOW on Monday evenings and HIIT & MOBILITY TRAINING on Wednesdays.

WHAT IS VINYASA FLOW?
In this class, you will be lead through a wide variety of breath-linked postures from the primary and secondary series from Ashtanga yoga. Every class offers a different and unique blend of breath-based postures that help participants gain greater strength, balance for the entire body and mind. This invigorating practice builds strength, flexibility, heats the body, and cools the mind.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AT HIIT & MOBILITY TRAINING?
This class blends High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with Yoga. 30 - 40 minutes of timed interval exercise that will challenge your mind, muscles and lungs followed by a series of yoga poses to stretch you out and cool you down. Every week is a different set of exercises so you'll never get bored and you'll be surprised how fast an hour can flyby!

For more information or to reserve your spot call / text Melissa at 403-636-1268

Alright, so that was FUN!!

Gerry led a group of us through a pop-up Pound class yesterday. The others may have had the timing better than this gal but even with a horrendous lack of rhythm and coordination, I had a blast. In the end, I think we did around 3267 squats and lunges 😂 and smiled/laughed for an hour straight!

Thanks Gerry!!
