The Story of the Orchard Wellness Centre
Do you want a wholistic nature based understanding of wellness?
I do too. The Orchard Wellness Centre story began with a dream of combining cultural teachings of the fours seasons of the year with a wholistic view of wellness. There are so many powerful First Nations and Pagan teachings around healing and wellness. Counselling and creative art techniques also offered many healing and wellness options but I struggled to find places and spaces that could combine these elements into an wholistic understanding of wellness.
I believe that it is the connections with people, places and actions that make the difference in achieving positive well-being and wholistic wellness. Part of that includes finding the greatest wellness resource - choice and options.
Are you wanting supportive connections and options?
I decided to offer some more options. Options based on my style of wellness in hopes that it would connect with other people as well. I believe in the strength, insight and wisdom of people and trust our personal searching will lead us to what we need. If that search leads you to the Orchard Wellness Centre I am honoured and excited to celebrate wellness with you.
Would you like to know how we found our name?
The Orchard Wellness Centre found its name because an orchard seemed like a good metaphor to highlight seasonal teachings. Each stage of an orchard throughout the year gives us a teaching we can apply to wellness.
In Winter an orchard rests - teaching us to slow down, rest and make time for inner reflection. In the Spring an orchard begins with new growth - reminding us that growth is important and these buds will become flowers showing us the beauty of growth. In the Summer an orchard - is vibrant, busy and creating produce. This tells us manifesting and action are important in order to produce what we need. In the Fall an orchard - reminds us to harvest the results of our work. Take stock and appreciation of the abundance in our lives.

When we apply these seasonal understandings with the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of ourself we can become more aware of our personal wellness. This awareness offers options, choice and opportunities to harvest the changes within. I hope you find some wellness resources here at the Orchard Wellness Centre to inspire and support your wellness needs.
