Welcome to My New Site!

Northern Gannet and Chick, St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, NL

Well… I could say that after a lot of blood, sweat and tears, I’m finally ready to share my news with you. But if I’m being honest, it was probably more like a lot of time in front of a computer, a very sore back, and more than a little carpal tunnel! 😂

Either way, I’m incredibly proud to finally share it with you:

Steph Hounsell Creative Wellness is here! 🌿📷

For some time now, I’ve known that I wanted to find a way to weave together my social work experience with my love of nature, photography and the outdoors. And so, here we go!

I’m excited to begin this new chapter and I can’t wait to bring you along on the journey.

So, what does this mean?

For starters, my Mindful Monday posts will now live here, on the Steph Hounsell Creative Wellness website, through this blog. I will be working on integrating some older posts (you will notice a previous post is on here - part of the weekend testing 😁)

I’m still in the beginning stages, and there are definitely a few little bugs to work out on the new website. But as with most journeys, there are always a few bumps along the way. Rather than waiting for everything to be perfect—because let’s face it, does that ever really happen?—I decided it was time to take the leap and share it with you now.

My first workshop is scheduled for October 24th, so save the date! More details will be coming soon.

One-on-one sessions will also be available in the very near future, and I’ll be making an announcement about those soon.

Now, about this photograph… 🐦

Northern Gannet and Chick, St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland & Labrador

I knew I wanted a special image to accompany this announcement, and this photograph is meaningful to me in so many ways.

For starters, as some of you already know, this is a place where I truly felt some healing begin for someone very special in my life.

It was also an unbelievable experience to witness this incredible place and the thousands of birds that call it home.

But most importantly, when I look at this image, I see growth.

Growth in healing within our family.
Growth in this little chick.
And personal growth as I take this leap and step into something new.

I honestly don't know exactly where this path will take me. But I am hopeful that through Creative Wellness, I can help others find moments of connection, mindfulness, peace and wellness in nature.

So, thank you for clicking the link, checking out the new website, and being part of this next chapter with me. ❤️

If you know someone who might benefit from this kind of experience, please feel free to share this post. I’d love to reach as many people as possible.

I’m excited, I’m hopeful, and I’m looking forward to meeting you on the trail.

Wishing you a mindful Monday, and thank you for being here. 🌿
