care packages for colder months.

good morning to you.

I write to you this Monday morning in November, the sun is just peeking over the treeline and porridge oats simmer on the stovetop. I love all the scents and spices of colder months, their lingering with windows shut.

Scent is a part of massage that I have recently really leaned into, engaging all the senses - but particularly smell. It’s something I hope to be able to personalize a bit more for you in the next several months.

November has been filled with more days Southside at Studio70, I particularly enjoy working out of this treatment room because of the aliveness of the studio. Hearing folk greeting one another in the entryway, heavy coats hung up and shoes tucked into the shoe rack, like arriving into someones home - the space is a practice in remembering all that is around us, a connectedness with one another, a warmth in community and togetherness.

✦ offerings & care packages coming december

I’m really excited to offer a care package in december ✦ This was an idea that one of my previous mentors offered and created with folks in mind who’d like to gift someone a treatment with me. I wanted to offer more than just a digital voucher something handwritten, local & tangible.

The full offering will be announced here first when I return from being away on 5 december, so if you’re curious keep in touch.

So, as December is rounding the corner & the last season of this calendar arrives within view. Some December festivities ask many of us to move quickly towards celebration & joy, togetherness, food. For some it is a treasured season - for some it is a reminder of distance and difficulty in many forms.

I hope you’re able to embrace a season of slowing down and being with the reflective quality of these last months of 2025 because look how far you’ve come. Thank you for being here.

See you in December, take good care.

Warmly, Veronica
