Nicole Chambers Counselling

The first day of school often arrives quietly like this morning light… Yet it carries so many emotions.
Excitement. Relief. Grief. Hope.

Some families are ready for routine to return, for structure and predictability to settle back in.
Others are feeling the ache of letting go- missing slow mornings, extra cuddles, and the closeness that winter break offers.

I’m holding both today.
With a big birthday on the horizon in our home, I’ve been deeply aware of how precious that one-on-one time has been this break. Watching how quickly seasons shift both in nature and in parenting. It can be beautiful and bittersweet all at once.

Whatever you’re feeling today: it makes sense.
There’s no “right” way to experience this transition. Multiple emotions can exist together and often do.

Be gentle with yourself and your kids today.
Transitions deserve compassion.

I finally finished my last day in Regus! Next week is the start of

It’s been a meaningful chapter, but it’s time to step into a space that aligns more fully with the work I love doing. Change is always a mix of emotions, so here’s my little goodbye-and-hello list:

What I’ll Miss:
• The amazing reception team
• Some of the lovely Regus practitioners
• The pigeons who landed on my window sill

What I won’t Miss:
• Packing my lamp, clock, art, supplies, games, computer… every. single. day.
• Toilets that don’t flush (enough said)
• The rent cost
• Paying for parking
• The unpredictable heat/AC
• Whoever makes popcorn in the shared microwave (you live boldly)

What I’m Excited For:
• Mid-shift adjustments
• Vitamins + supplements at my fingertips
• Working alongside community leaders in perinatal care
• A truly kid-friendly environment

Here’s to new beginnings, aligned spaces, and feeling more at home in my work than ever.
