Vera V. Chapman - Resonating Soul Wellness

Look at these gorgeous vintage tea cups that I just picked up for our upcoming Tea & Sound event!! 😍 Oh, how my sweet mama would have loved these. 🥹

Join our sound bath THIS Friday at 7 pm at for some deep relaxation and connection. Spots are limited to 8! 🔗 in bio.

Found this lovely little spot in that was just perfect for morning yoga with a sweet friend. Gosh, those towering trees overhead were everything.

My girl lit up like a Christmas tree when we surprised her at an event at school today. 🥰 It was such a good reminder to show up. Even when there’s work to do or laundry that needs folding. Show up. Because they grow up faster than we think. Soon, these bear hugs, these moments of pure delight in her eyes, and even the begging for hours and hours of bed time snuggles will be our “good old days.” 💛

🤩

My heart has felt torn apart thinking about the children in Gaza. I’ve had no words. This collage was my response to those big feelings, an expression of my knowing that THIS is how children should be growing up: with joyful simplicity, not bombs and terror.

Our family lost one child and it forever changed us. Over 15,000 children have been murdered in Gaza. That’s thousands of grieving families. With pictures in their minds that they can never unsee.

This has got to stop.

When you get to bring the most beautiful flowers home from your women’s retreat 🤩 Thank you so much ! They are making my heart smile big today.

When you go to an incredibly healing women’s retreat where you spent HOURS crafting in community and you come back home inspired. 💛

Gosh, what an honor to have held space for the incredible women attending the Unleash retreat with last night. Deep healing work is happening here as we turn inward to remember the truth of Who We Really Are. 💛

Love this!

Today won’t be a great day.
It wont be a bad day either.

Today will just be a ‘day’.

24 hours of absolutely everything.

Moments of joy, fear, uncertainty, pride, love.
Flashes of loss, happiness, connection and loneliness.

Moments swathed in every colour of the spectrum of emotion and humanity

Moment by moment.
Wrapped in hours, that make up one day.

JUST A DAY.

You’ve lived through plenty and you’ll live through many more.

So.

Do not entitle this 24 hour parcel as anything other than what it is…
A slice of life.

Go live it.

Moment by moment.

And be ready for them all.

What a treat introducing to the deep R&R of a restorative sound bath tonight. Much deserved after they fought valiantly to secure a 4th place seat at Nationals this weekend. We’re so proud!

Niagara University Women’s Rugby just won the game that puts them in the Nationals Semi-Finals match next. And this was the message I got. 🥹 What an honor supporting these ladies with post-tournament recovery during their season. I know I’m usually all namaste and stuff but tonight I’m all LET’s F*CKING GOOOO!!

I don’t mean to brag, but I designed these all by myself. 😁 Aren’t they pretty? Tell your woowoo curious friends to call me! ☎️🤗

What are you reading on World Book day? I just picked this up yesterday from our local library at the recommendation of a dear friend (a Priest - isn’t that something!). I’m not usually one for fiction reads (give me all the spiritual self-help books 🤣) but this has been a fun read so far.

Happy World Book Day! I’m so grateful to be able to call myself an author this go around. 😊 We miss our boy tremendously still. But it is such a gift knowing his love, presence, and impact live on through “Our Baby In Our Hearts.”

Did you know that Amazon does not require a purchase in order to leave a book review? If you’ve read our beautiful book, please share your thoughts to help families grieving baby loss find and trust this resource. Thank you so much! ☺️🙏🏼 🔗 in bio.

Not sure who needs to hear this today.

Just my sweet girl coregulating with her goodest girl. 😍

Happy eclipse day everyone! Hope you all made some beautiful memories together. ☀️ 🌕 🌙 Gosh, that was cool. 🤩

Loving the sunshine beaming into the studio as I’m getting ready to teach some yoga for athletes this morning! 🤩☀️ Have a beautiful weekend, friends. 💛

Cutest coworker on the block. 🐾 And no, I’m not strangling her. Promise. 😂
